Korn - freak on a leash is the music video of the late 90s

[@xenos_n.]

Follow The Leader was definitely their peak. Good times. I loved that album as a young teen.

"BOY! somethingNUN NUN NU-UNNN Boy! Something in BOYYY"

[@sickofitall8486]

@@xenos_n. I agree. I believe most Korn fans would as well, and it was when they sounded like a well oiled machine. The studio engineering was next level compared to their first two albums. Contrast that with Limp Bizkit. TDBY wasn’t their commercial peak, but to me, their sound and style peaked on that first album. I think the studio polish of Sig Other and future releases took them the wrong direction. Then again, they are multi platinum artists and I’m commenting on YT.

[@whoami-eb7cq]

Their latest album is pretty damn awesome though.Their first album(toured with MM and Danzig,'95) was their best IMO.

Slash standing in the Desert during November Rain was the best and coolest part 🤘

[@colinschafer5453]

I watched a video of Pantera playing in Philly in 99. I watched the intro like 13 times bc it was so simple, but so badass. They just kinda meander onto the stage nonchalantly and Phil just goes, “we’re Pantera”, then turns back and points to Vinnie and says, “play that shit”. Then they immediately explode into Domination and just go crazy. So simple and so badass. Love it.

[@waste_bin]

Imo, the real breakthrough for NIN was their woodstock '94 "covered in mud" performance. Nothing less than iconic.

[@xenos_n.]

Same with Green Day. Woodstock 94 was epic.

[@bobcobb3654]

NIN were already well on their way by the time Woodstock’94 rolled around. Downward Spiral was double platinum, Trent had signed Marilyn Manson, and he had just produced the Natural Born Killers soundtrack.

[@BillBondsHasAPosse]

The NIN Closer video

[@billybee3423]

I’m 50 (and watching this??), and still regret not seeing NIN for only $10 in 1990, maybe 91, cause it was a Thursday night, and I had school the next day. Normally that wouldn’t have been an issue, but I had already cut class Monday-Wednesday so I felt it was a bad idea. Damn do I regret it! NIN in a 500’ish room club for $10, with nickel beers (gotta clear the old kegs for the weekend), and I pussed out. 😢 Kids, you only live once. When opportunity rises, take it!

[@Eclecticompany]

I'm a very casual fan of The Smashing Pumpkins, yet the video for 1979 makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew; considering I was born that year.

[@Eclecticompany]

Yeah, Siamese Dream was always the album of theirs I would play the most.

[@rodrigocampo9014]

For me was Smashing pumpkins try try try video the one that freaked me out so much...

[@krombopoulosmichael]

Adam Jones, the guitarist of Tool, does all the band's videos fyi. Mad talent. Good video Finn.

[@lexidarling]

The Freak on a Leash video introduced me to Korn and alternative rock in general, it was absolutely mesmerizing to 10 year old me seeing that for the first time in 1999. And much respect for the Lil Peep mention, I feel like a lot of people don’t really understand how important and impactful he was.

[@ThiccOleCat]

I'm glad they didn't dub over Domination, the chug section at that performance draws the most primal energy out of me and I'm here for it.

[@bailey3209]

[@nickcustodi592]

The Domination music video is so legendary. The recording of that performance gives me chills when I think about it. From the guitar solo that left my face melted in a puddle to the intro with Phil screaming “this is a lesson in hardcore!” It’s just perfection

[@rogerwalker2224]

It's fun watching reaction videos to Domination, perhaps the most reacted to video on YT!

[@CMill78]

Domination is one of the best live performances ever! You nailed the stage presence. Rex @ 15:54 was awesome in the original video. Dime and Phil were feeling it, great performance.

[@sollamander2206]

The video for "Closer" was responsible for more of my nightmares than any horror movie or real life phobia. That thing fucked me up. I was basically afraid of Trent Reznor until I was in my mid 20s and watched his 1994 Woodstock performance on youtube.

[@rodrigocampo9014]

“Bat country” is a reference to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and most of the video is as well.

[@derekfletcher8934]

Completely agree about Pantera. They were the very best and had amazing stage presence. My favorite video when I was a kid though was Sweet Dreams by Manson. I loved what he did with the song and the video is creepy as hell.

[@amberlinmchugh8115]

So right. Pantera live in 93 was AMAZING

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

Speaking of Manson, I think the Beautiful People video is WAY more iconic than the Nine Inch Nails one.

[@Negative921]

[@benkendall5562]

One by Metallica was one of the very first metal videos I saw, at 13 I was both terrified and very intrigued by it. It's dark but not for just the sake of being dark/edgy - art like that in my opinion is very important for younger people who have questions about the darker sides of humanity like I did.

[@simondurkin2487]

Im a little surprised Linkin Park didn’t make the cut but I get that the video could have been 3 hours long. It would be great to see a similar video featuring acts of the last decade. Great work as always Finn

[@mari0vell]

I think it's pretty difficult to put LP on a list like this since their breakthrough videos (OSC, Crawling, ITE) are more goofy than iconic, and their much more iconic videos (Papercut, BTH, Numb) came well after they hit #1 on Billboard.

[@loompy1440]

I know that functioning to any degree when you’re self medicating like Peep is hard, so the fact that he made all that amazing, genuine heartfelt music during consistent binges and bouts with mental illness means he had so much passion and love for his art itself. It’s super rad of you to not spin it as strictly -drug romanticizing - IE inherently bad- negative. Instead seeing it as a tragically accurate depiction of his life is a beyond respectful and nuanced take, that personally meant a lot to me as someone who’s suffered/ seen others suffer from addiction ❤️

[@mashedpotatojohnson2]

Well said! So glad this channel gives Peep the credit he deserves

[@rufio.5961]

The amount of influence Joel Peter-Wiltkin's works had on the NIN video is so massive. Wish it would get mentioned more often.

[@astridarideout1864]

trent mentioning witkin as an influence in an interview got me to look up his stuff, and yeah. the entire closer video is basically one big witkin homage.

[@TheYagomestre]

You did a really clever insight about Avenged Sevenfold bringing the "hair metal" fun to the "dark emo" aesthetic and blending it with the Orange County metalcore energy. Your selection of videos is really good and tasteful. I would put some others but the bottom line is, you summarized it really good. There's a great picture of an era there.

[@elbee3495]

I was listening to Far Beyond Driven this morning and I was thinking how it’s still one of the most important and heaviest metal albums of all time. It might be the best sounding, best mixed album too. And it Debuted at #1 on the Billboards without any mainstream airplay. Not saying you should do a whole video on Far Beyond Driven, although I’d definitely watch it haha!

Important note for Bat Country: the video is based on the plot and ideals of the early 70’s novel "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". The main character in book binges on tons of psychoactive (hallucinogenic) drugs and the resulting trip lasts several days. Since Bat Country is about the ups and downs of a psychoactive experience, the novel is a perfect fit for the song.

Tool would not be as successful as they are without Alex Grey’s iconic art. Also, ‘One’ was the first song I tried learning on guitar, in no small part to seeing the music video at such a young age. Thanks for the analyses!

[@vyacheslavkhristolyubov413]

Alex Grey plays a big role in their aesthetics obviously but this is huge exaggeration of his input. All (or nearly all) Tool videos have been made by Adam Jones - as well as Undertow cover and the band has been a huge success after it before they even started working with Grey..

[@PhreakPhantom]

Well, you can make the argument that Alex Grey art would not be as successful if it wasn't for Tool. 1 - Alex Grey art used in TOOL imagery was art made SPECIFICALLY for the band. 2 - 99,9% of Tool fans had absolutely NO clue who Alex Grey was before.

Pantera performing Domination live in Moscow is not the official or unofficial music video for the Domination song. It is just a live performance that was cut from the Monsters of Rock concert. Pantera sang another 3 songs in that concert of which you can easily find the videos on youtube: Primal Concrete Sledge, Psycho Holiday and Cowboys From Hell. The Domination video is not the music video because it was not played anywhere at that time, it could just be found on the DVDs with the Monsters of Rock and I think also on a Pantera Home Video DVD. It became popular only since KZbin. No MTV, no nothing

[@neotalek5546]

Interesting not to see Linkin Park's In the End in here. Not to say that it holds up, but it most definitely was one of the most influential green screen "supernatural" "settings" that was eventually replicated by tons of bands, including themselves, in the genre/adjacent genres, esp among scene/metalcore bands (I'd argue a very good example of a well-produced continuation of that video style is Falling in Reverse's Zombified).
