POP! Talk: Jonathan Davis S2E5

Best known as the lead vocalist for the band ‘Korn’, Jonathan Davis speaks about his early musical inspirations, his love for the haunting and macabre, and even some insight into an episode of ‘South Park’. #Funko #FunTV

[@sugarsore]

It's so great how Jonathan is finally happy and at peace for once in his life.

[@hansele666]

this is the most surreal thing ever and at the same time the most satisfying ... how someone that had been through so much hearbreaking stuff can be at peace of some sorts

[@philandrew3603]

@@hansele666 truth.

[@sugarsore]

@@GGBandyta i didn't come to this conclusion on my own. The other guys in Korn specifically said Jonathan is finally happy for once in his life during interviews for the Requiem album. I don't think you understand how tumultuous his life has been. His fellow band members used to always say that he had the worst luck and bad things would always happen to him. Also his ex wife that passed away had some serious mental problems and consistently created havoc in his life.

[@therapturedmichelle]

@@sugarsore what bad things/ bad luck happened to him (aside from his childhood and ex wife dying)?

[@sugarsore]

@@therapturedmichelle His relationship with Deven was very tumultuous. She was a hard-core drug addict. She was abusive toward him. Beyond that, the other members of Korn would never say what exactly Jon went through. They just said he had "the worst luck" and bad things would always happen to him.

[@alyons0110]

Such an iconic musician. He has no idea how many kids he has ridden along with throughout life, helping them through the darkest points. Such a legend.

[@Branchofsin]

Oh no he definitely knows now a days. He’s talked a lot about it. He’s such a solid dude. I’m glad he’s able to put all the stuff he’s been through aside, stayed sober through it all. He gave us all more music and he gave his kids exactly what they needed.

He's a survivor of child rape.

[@raulfigueroa588]

One of the darkest bands ever, yet they are all such down to earth guys

[@ThePhoenixw68]

They mellowed out over the last 10-12 years. Im glad JD turned out how he is unlike Manson who he was compared to.

[@felipegiraldo8100]

Korn has messed up lyrics in a cruel reality way, but they are far away from being "one of the darkest bands ever"...

[@francescax1590]

He comes across as such a lovely man. I’m glad he’s finally happy.

[@plukart777]

it is admirable how artists are so open minded to many things and tastes, and it is curious to me that the fans of these artists are very radical at times with their tastes. Anyway, I admire JD and he has always been a great influence in my work as an artist. greetings from Colombia!

[@territhetankedupterrapin6592]

Metal Heads as a collective are some of the most open minded people, there's been a bunch of social studies on this. It's usually the Black Metallers who are the musical elitists. Considering the types of artists KoRn were all inspired by and what they're about it would surprise me to meet a KoRn fan who was only into Metal.

[@shadows-sweet-embrace]

​@@territhetankedupterrapin6592 I agree 100%. Hardcore fans of black metal can be very pompous, and that's coming from someone who _likes_ black metal. It's especially funny when the musicians themselves are usually pretty chill, fun people outside of the music, but the fans are incredibly dour.

[@S5Dic09]

classic metal heads are closed minded (Judas Priest, Metallica, ect -fans), they're like the linux guys, who think the more popular Microsoft(Nu-metal, so Korn) just sucks, or are sort of amateurs, weak music

[@jaseon619]

@@S5Dic09 I think there is an overlap between Metallica and Judas Priest fans who listen to Korn. I would say Iron Maiden fans are more closed minded, not all of them of course.

@@13skp they can fucking rock still. I'm going alone this time as my husband doesn't like the pit. He prefers seats so he can go out for beer and the bathroom. It'll be my first time in Korn's pit. Any tips? I've done Marilyn Manson's pit several times so I'm not worried about it being crazy. Just tips to stay hydrated since you can't take water in and don't want to leave your spot to go to the bathroom and get water.

If I ever met Jonathan Davis in person, I honestly would not know what my emotional or physical response would be. I would probably start by asking him if he’s into black girls and just see where that goes 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ericdravenX00X]

I have been a fan of Korn since 94' and like all their fans.. Have been a BIG part of my life when it comes to music.. I have been thru hard times, sad times, and happy times listening to the band.. Jonathan has So much Emotion in his Vocals, and Lyrics that really brings out the Anger, & Sadness, better than I have heard any Vocalist.. JD I would have to say is my favorite vocalist.. Great video..
