Head and Munky inspired so many kids to pick up the guitar in the mid to late 90’s. Their tone and playing on their first few records was so unique.
BLIND SENT ME STRAIT TO THE GUITAR STORE!!! i didnt count the strings though , never knew there was 7 string at the time , but didn't need it
such true statement
I totally think Korn deserve all of their success. Munky was a serious inspiration to me ever since their self-titled debut, which I still listen to (Life is Peachy is still my fav though). I love that these dudes are now considered one of the greats that will endure for generations.
Life is Peachy is a killer album 🤘
It is great to have these inspirations especially when they turn out to be super nice people. We are sure he will inspire many more players. 😊
I know nothing about what key I'm in, what chord I'm playing or any theory whatsoever. I just play what I hear and play what I want. I'm in my 50s and started playing in the late 70s when the dawn of metal and shred began. Later on in my 30s Korn inspired me to try a 7 string and the rest is history. Thanks Munky and Head!
HORNS UP! \,,/
That's awesome!
I'm in a similar boat. I write music but know nothing.lol I just play what sounds good and that I like
Munky is such a cool guy. Really loved this insight; thank you so much for the interview!
Nice to see such humility.
Truly,. That in itself is inspiring. 😊
Thank you for the inspiration Munky, you and Head inspired me and a whole generation 🤘
Munky you forgot the one pedal you AND Head couldn’t live without…the XP100 Whammy! That thing is their secret weapon.
The members of Korn started out in the way early 90s under the band name L.A.P.D, back then they had more of a Red Hot Chili Peppers funk sound, and they even got signed to a small record label before they started the band Korn back in 1993! Like them or not, these guys are lifers in the music business and they are doing the exact job they were put on this earth to do.
James this Is J.R. Goldman. I love you man. Great answers. Your tone after Brian left you caught when you did the only guitar. You found the tone. Peace Man
first time i heard korn was in 93 a demo tape of blind and layla and Blind was little different than 94 release then in 95 my mom took me to a danzig show Korn opened and i was so amazed by the music but even more by munkys playing was like moshing with your guitar,during danzig i ran into munky and head and ask them why guitar have extra string he told me about vai and the 7 string and has been my favorite guitarist for 28 years was one of first real KoRn Kids also this before korn was labeled numetal they were alterative
Awesome video! Thanks TC!
That was 6 minutes well spent,thanks
Very cool. Seems like a good guy
Yeah!! That was dope!!
At the end of the video, I'm still waiting for tips, tricks and hacks.
Playing with legends thy are legends
Whatever korn is doing now, they never sound like life is peachy record, the guitar tone is so raw and dirty which is soo fuckin good!
First three albums are awesome. Their demo is awesome, it is on UA-cam
A lot of the old Korn stuff is pretty Bass heavy, and that bass is killer and nasty! Love it!
It’s inspiring how they busted out some great riffs but didn’t (yet) understand the theory behind it. It’s pretty cool how he’s going back and studying himself essentially.
Have you ever heard the band L.A.P.D? It was Fieldy, Munky, and David's band before they started Korn. Search 'Lapd Korn' on UA-cam and check out their live show from 1991 if you get the chance. They used 6 string guitars back then and were sort of a heavier version of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The guitar style is totally different than how they sound with the 7 string guitars in Korn!
Interesting comment and very true..in fact i bet MOST (not all) of famous rock guitarists are the same
Almost all the greats learned to play by ear in their bedrooms. Absolutely no music theory. Music theory really only helps to label what's happening in a song imo. Use it to write a song and you'll just sound like radio head. Lol. Just play what you feel. If it sounds good, then it is.
I’m not a jazz player, but I know so many of the Jazz greats didn’t know basically any of the upper level music theory contained in their songs. Music Theory is just describing music composition in a technical way. It’s kinda like the difference between building a car and driving one. Rock and metal music even more so is filled with musicians who can’t describe their own music with theory. Like you basically said, it’s interesting to see a higher profile guitarist make that transition from not knowing to knowing. In the past few years, I’ve experienced that a little bit on my own when I’ve gone back listened to demos and recordings of idea I made from early on in my guitar playing, knowing a lot more theory now. I’ve learned theory is really good for description and not prescription for a lot of us (minus maybe Jazz). I find I make better stuff when I don’t stop to think about theory. But many players, especially Jazz, can often be the opposite.
Dude i learned only the basics, wich is only basic scales and the usual basic chords and learning songs from heavy metal to hard rock and yeah now i can noodle like nothing, but also experience, i got around 12 yrs
I think he’s absolutely spot on with cables. People will spend £1000 on a guitar/bass and then don’t want to spend more than £15 for a cable.
It is a very good point. You are only as strong as your weakest link.
Thank you.
you need a guitar in your hand my man .god bless my friend
He’s got something to say….cool I can relate
I still play my K-7 every time I play. I figured he'd say the xp100 digitech for the pedal he be stranded with.
For the longest time, we wanted to sound like you.
Done subscribe..nice effects watching from Philippines..
TC is Cool ! 🤙
♥️
What does he mean by cables
Yo I got the flashback it's so cool :)
Great to hear! 😁
I knew he was gonna say "rage against the machine"!!
It must have been one hell of a show!
@@tcelectronic "everyone" knows top metal performances are by (as far as showmanship and theatrics): Metallica, Slipknot, Tool, and of course Rage against the machine!
Not to discount Korn, they are amazing.
🤟
i use thick hog cables it makes huge differnce
Pickups are way more important, cables just have to work
@@Ottophil i always use the best pickups but cables make a hell of a differnce in gain levels
Does Munky play with cards?
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was pit bull with long hair 😅
"My new guitar" When? Ibanez?
i wish the IR loader.
I wanted to like the video, but I realized it was at 666 likes, so now I can't . . . . I've always love the music from Korn, their style, tones, and vocals are still unique in my opinion.
Understandable 😅. We have gone well past it now though so feel free to drop it a like... 😉
bring the sunburst finish back...
Did we interrupt his card game?!
You know, I'm something of a guitar hack myself.
I wish he could just encourage me to practice guitar. I learned how to tune - or almost - but untuning my guitar and using the tuner and going back and fourth and I notice the different tones to tune. My music teacher just knows and says nothing (theyre getting paid, might as well just help yourself lol) my teacher says nothing he just teaches me what I need to know but you have to figure it out yourself. No one says anything really. It’s kind of annoying. It took over a year to get it right or start to understand from practice but it’d be easier if my teacher or someone; anyone could had taught me to untune on purpose and retune to get accustomed. I’m still stupidly practicing, it’s so hard.
Warmth, mid thrust, no shrill highs, fat bottoms.
Especially fat bottoms 😏
I thought you started playing guitar because of a 3 Wheeler accident
imagine walking into united dairy farmers in Columbus ohio and out walks munky with 12 Budweiser's , thats how i met the man
Do tell us more??
Brian and field is the best! But you munk must be renew your soul now?!
Just stop
