Munky and Head were never the most technical players but they had a great sound and made the most of the skills they had. Underrated guitarists.

I can't believe they do all those crazy sounds with such simple pedalboards, they sound like nobody else, using the same things that anyone else has. That's awesome creativity.

Well cause a lot of people really wimp out on effects and just subtly blend them in instead of embracing the sound they bring and really leaning into it.

[@lxxwj]

those XP-100s are no joke. i was surprised to see they use them considering how much more popular the 1st and 4th gen whammys are, but it can still do a lot of cool stuff and has some harmony modes that are only on the bass whammy

[@jamesdeininger3759]

I was gonna say that’s a much smaller pedalboard than I was expecting

[@JJsiN84]

In the late 90s during high school Brian Welch was a personal hero of mine and inspired me to play guitar. It broke my heart when he left KoRn, but the fact that he did it to clean himself up and now he’s just so energetic and full of life again makes me so happy. So many great musicians pass on early because of overdose or suicide. The fact KoRn is still going strong, I’m very proud of these guys. I never got to superstar status but I at least got good enough where I’ve been in some great bands and got to play some large shows. Times I will never forget, now I’m just an average working stiff but I still write and play music as a hobby.

Big kudos to all 3 of them for actually doing their own Rig Rundown, rather than passing it off to their tech.

I’m not quite sure how much touring you’ve done. I can tell you sometimes, you don’t have the time. You simply can’t be everywhere at once. I hear people saying this all the time. Sure it’s awesome they could do their own.

Head and Munkey are underrated in terms of their contributions to metal, IMO. Like he said, they were searching for 7 strings and playing detuned, low ass riffs when many players were wearing flannel and trying to sound like Nirvana.

[@fuckingslayer1750]

Zachary Williams Drop A and C# are pretty different

[@mortalhordewarrior9285]

yeah i agree these two have the greatest guitar playing dynamic. i honestly hate metal. no offense to you metal fans but its a shit genre... u need to slow it down, get the drummer and bass player to get a real groove and then you can have two guitar legends like head and munky work their magic. korn is the best band ever better than radiohead better than the roots

[@peasg9839]

Nick That really is your opinion.Saying a genre is "shit" because you don't like the bass or drums is just straight up ignorance.There is a lot of bands that does have the groove, you are being prejudicial about it.

[@mortalhordewarrior9285]

i realize that. i should have added specific sub genres i actually appreciate a lot of metal. i mean death metal black metal stuff thats too fast and vocals so bad i cannot comprehend how anyone could listen without getting a headache.. :)

[@peasg9839]

Nick Now you are right about that.I don't like neither black nor death metal.

[@stbreal]

These guys seem like the nicest dudes.

[@dobleru]

I actually had the opportunity to have a drink with Munky at his hotel during a tour and the guy is nothing but down to earth and awesome. Really humble too, talked about Bakersfield being a kind of shitty place to grow up and now he's going all over the world playing music. Hands down one of the nicest rock "stars"

[@vidsforsquids]

I know firsthand that these guys are indeed just that. Some cool ass dudes from Bakersfield that had the right formula. Unpretentious and chill is what these guys are

[@stalls808]

They really are. I’ve been lucky enough to hangout/meet/party with them several times and they’re all super down to earth and nice. Fieldy is a cocky prick though. That was a let down but totally expected. Haha

[@smallbuj7605]

Man, everybody should thank Korn for making 7 strings popular :D Great music too :)

[@ilay829]

I personally thank them! Breaking the habit of writing melody’s where the lowest notes are always e or f is stupid, write different stuff sometimes guys.

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

Fear Factory has been doing it for way longer.

[@imcnblu]

​@thephoenixcycle8854 To be fair, though, even at their absolute peak, Fear Factory never came close to matching KoRn's popularity. I love some old school FF as much as the next guy. But it ultimately boils down to this. Everyone who listens to Fear Factory has heard of Korn. But, not everyone who listens to Korn has heard of Fear Factory.

You look at the pedalboard of this guys and I saw the pedal board of Tom Morello in this channel as well. You hear the sounds they make and you imagine this U2 Edge kind of complicated rag and then realize is mainly a few very old, simple, cheap pedals and a lot of fun and creativity with them. This guys of Korn may not be the best players out there but they definitely set up a very define style and sound that inspire thoundsends over the year. Yet another example of "is not what you have but what you do with it" Good for them.

[@raulfigueroa588]

Oh these guys are waaaay better than you think. Munky side project Venera sounds like it would be an organ/moog/synth textures but he is getting that out of his guitar and Head was laying Van Halen solos since he was teen. These guys are very talented. The amount of dudes I know who can execute arpeggio sweeps etc but can’t strum basic chords well is crazy.

I'm still into them in my late 30s and just saw them live in 2022 and still wear their shirts and buy their new CD's. Their music has aged perfectly, hell even their two first major label albums still sound like something that could be released in 2024, thirty years later.

[@hendrix5757]

it always somewhat surprised me that their guitars never sported active EMG pickups instead of your standard passive pickups. Especially because they tune a whole step down. I think the reason why I've always wondered this mainly because I recall an article where they described how muddy their heavy tones were to record during the first record, and that was essentially attributed to the pickup technology not being where it needed to decrease the mud in the signal.

As a long time fan and equally guitar nerdy as them Thing I like most about their guitar sound is that Korn's tone has a certain growl to it that some folks tuning lower don't even get.

[@northtimo666]

One big key to that growl is using whammy pedal’s -1 octave setting and having that track in the center of the records. It is hilariously low, but gives you that thick tone.

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]
