It’s about “the industry” , record companies & how they take advantage of artists pain & emotions. While they are pouring their hearts out in their songs , the companies only care if it makes them money. He feels he is being paraded around like a pet by his record company meanwhile he’s going through anguish & trauma
spot on!! and how the label would "whore" them out and pay them pennies for their shows etc while keeping the majority for themselves.. "a cheap fuck for me to lay..."
yea this is whats it about also the song ''y'all want a single'' is a protest to singles costing almost nothing for the works they put in. remember its end 90's early 2000.
This take is so spot on and perfect that I can't believe I never caught it before. I think it's because I related to the lyrics so personally I never looked past my own take on it.
@@terrymartin5839 ''the music industry'' by tom mac donald, maybe you don,t like his music maybe you do but it explains it perfectly, they ruin you just for money...
As someone who's been "in" on this song since it's release, I was just sitting here letting him dig that hole saying "wait for it." Wathcing his face during the transitions and getting to observe him unraveling the layers brought all the joy that keeps me subbed.
Korn is the genesis of Nu Metal. It was a fusion of Hip Hop elements, funk, and metal. The scat singing is a jazz thing, and beatboxing is beatboxing...he kinda does both at once. Nobody sounded like Korn when they came out. They blew our minds....metal was dying. Then Korn and Distrubed hit. It's about the music industry. ETA What has he been through? Keep listening! Jon wasn't shy about his past, and it's dark.
@@felixfungle-bung4688, well, this one is definitely their biggest hit by a good margin, so it was no surprise that this is the one he would start with, as is most reactors' introduction to Korn too. Plus, him recently getting into the beatbox reacting scene and fairly familiar now, the beatbox part was great for him to hear.
"Metal was dying" I couldn't be more tickled by this comment. Did they bring "metal" to the mainstream masses, yes. Did they revive "metal" - hardly. Metal has been and will be fine.
@@Trashman.69420This. Is metal always mainstream? No. But if you ever want good metal, you'll find good metal. As Tenacious D said, "You can't kill the metal"
Korntastic!!.. I hope you continue down the Korn rabbit hole..the are amazing 👏..and there still touring and putting out new music 😎🔥🔥🔥👍..and I am a korn fan lol..my favorite nu metal band 😁
Yes, BP. He’s wearing a kilt. He also plays bagpipes in some songs. Chutes and Ladders being one of my favorites. Awesome reaction dude. You had be buggin’ with you when you started vibin’ 😂.
"Not their best song" why even mention that? It's one of their best songs so it seems redundant. Twister Transistor, Coming Undone and Start The Healing are my Top 3.
Yep, that's a kilt, he also plays the bagpipes on a few songs such as 'Shoots and Ladders' which is metal nursery rhymes. Stay away from 'Daddy' though, that one will scar you for life.
@@HeidiBullard I definitely prefer to hear him sing his own songs for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, especially the SiriusXM versions here on UA-cam, his voice is AMAZING! He is my favorite vocalist, & they’re his songs, he wrote them, so I enjoy his interpretation the best. Just my humble opinion. ✌🏻🤘🏻
Agreed! It was so disappointing that his label wouldn't let him be on the soundtrack. Everytime I want to really enjoy those songs, I have to play the movie 😅
@@christineghere2461 on the soundtrack to Queen of the Damned the only song I love both versions of is System and that is because Chester Bennington and Jonathan Davis are both very talented. Chester had the ability to mimic Jonathan on the song System. A lot of people think that Jonathan is doing the backing vocals on the soundtrack for System but it is just Chester mimicking Jonathan. Jonathan Davis is the only one who even comes close to being able to mimic Chester since they both delt with the same childhood traumas.
Wow… this brings back memories!! I went with my husband (then boyfriend) to a Korn concert our Senior year of High School in Nov of 1996! 😂❤️ It was eye opening for a girl who had only been to a Garth Brooks concert before then! But I LOVED IT! 😍🤪
@@supahfly2106late to this video but I got to see Korn and Deftones tour back in the '90s and it was sick! 🤘🤘 Had no money but a little left over and one cool ass friend and I showed up to the bar one night and told in to get his ass off the shift and let's go see it. Luckily he had a cool boss. He was super broke and we rocked it that night. Great memories
My favourite band growing up and they helped through those difficult teenage years. I respect this band so much. You gotta do Falling Away From Me next.
Daddy is a bit too heavy for reactions.Most reactors stop listening to them after that as its just a hard song to listen to. Dont want to scare BP away before he's started.
Lol… we listened to ADIDAS over and over in HS!! 😂😂 I’d forgotten about that song! One of my favorites of theirs is Forsaken! I think it was on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack! ❤
Do more rock/metal reactions dude. That was cool watching the ride you just went on with this one. There's a lot of metal out there that will surprise you.
This song was made for the music industry and them trying to keep him on a leash. Just got to the part where you was jamming but not sure what to do. U started punching then playing drums, almost came out your chair!! 😂😂😂😂 Here for it!
I was the opposite, 90s 2000s up I was all about the heavy metal/hard rock/alt genre.. I know nothing about hip hop from that era (or most of today 😅) Broke a rib in the Mosh pit during Korns set back in ‘99 Those were the days 😂
Blind was their first single, and I would venture to say, probably their biggest hit… Watch the live Woodstock video… It’ll pull your mind! Corn was awesome because they had that West Coast vibe,, they also were one of the pioneers of the genre nu metal
BP, get ready to dive deep…”Head” first! you’re gonna enjoy the depths of the music. it does get dark, some gets VERY dark. (ie Daddy) if you want recommendations: Got the Life (about becoming famous) Blind (their first single) Falling Away From Me (about child abuse) Shoots & Ladders (play on nursery rhymes) Coming Undone (about mental breakdowns) Alone I Break (pretty self explanatory) Clown (about being bullied in school) sorry for the long post, but there are many, many others that are also fantastic songs!
Korn is one on the best band dude ! You definitely have to deep inside. It's a total vibe.Just imagine end of 90's-start of 20's, you have bands like Korn, System Of A Down, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, all those awesome bands, in their prime, on the same amount of time. That era was insane 🖤🖤🖤
Korn was such a huge voice in the music industry. They changed a lot of things. His voice is different but it gets into your soul & then...you can't stop listening to them.
Korn is my favorite band of all time ❤. Keep reacting to them! “ Blind” “Clown” “Seed” so many good ones. Jonathan Davis has an amazing voice & scatting like no one else!
You have to watch "Falling Away From Me" next..its literally part 2 of "Freak On A Leash" the video starts right where this video ends. Listen to th at one next.
Korn is a boss! I remember this being almost like an anthem in the 90's, I graduated in 95' and this came out in 98', definitely takes me back to my youth...man, I miss being young! (48 now)...check out the rest of their music for sure!
Would love to see you react to the band AVATAR and their song Napalm (Live from Ages) OR Let it Burn (Loudwire Exclusive) They are from Gothenburg, Sweden. They just hit No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Airplay, and got a fossil named after them!
JD's voice is absolutely one that takes getting used to. The hook was supposed to sit with you like it does. This video also was award winning and critically acclaimed at the time.
Was never a huge fan of the band's later stuff like this one, but their first album in 1994 is one of the best debut albums of all time. They created a whole genre in one fell swoop on that. Songs like Blind, Clown, and Ball Tongue were so original sounding.
@@0x2A_ Their first album was special, their second was alright, and I never bothered with them after that, after hearing songs like this one. To me this was their "later stuff". They'd lost their swag by this point imo. Got The Life was a banger though.
@@justinatest9456 Nah I know what you're saying. For most metal bands, their first and second albums are typically more raw and heavy but somewhere along the way with more success they get better production and it loses some of that soul and passion. To note, SOAD, Slipknot, Korn, Deftones, even Limp Bizkit, had very raw and passionate debuts.
Your facial expressions got Korn’ed. 🤣 I was 18 when this came out… and that beat drop “GO!” still hits just as hard! Make sure to check out a live version of him playing the bagpipes! 🤘🏼
The sound Korn came out with at that time was so revolutionary. Nothing sounded like them. The guitars almost sound like a DJ scratching decks at times. The live set from Woodstock is pretty phenomenal. I'd recommend blasting through the first 10 mins or so of that (Blind, Twist, Chi) and you'll see some more of the crazy beat box/chanting you saw here.
@@supahfly2106 went to a few ozzfest myself . Think I seen Korn 7 times pre 2003ish havent seen them since . Though The Path of Totality help me thru a divorce
took me 25 years or so to see them live, and i finally saw them last year, they did not disappoint, been a fan since they came out, but never got to see them live.. Shoots and ladders live was nuts..
I haven’t listened to Korn in over 20 years (yikes). I’ve forgotten how much I love this song. Its raw angsty emotion really spoke to 15 year old stuck in catholic school Corinne. 38 year old Corinne totally appreciates it on a whole different level now. Damn BP- are you going to get me back into Nu-Metal after I’ve sworn off of it for almost two decades?!
The singer Jonathan davis has a crazy story. He puts his pain in songs. They have so many great songs. Theres an amazing biggie collab too called wake up i think
Yasss Korn!! This was totally my shiii growing up in the 90s this limp bizkit, linking park, rage against, system of a down. I loved the NU Metal era.. And it all fused with rap and hip hop so well actually. Also there wild live if u check out the concert from Woodstock 99 it will blow ur mind.
I have seen Korn 6 times live starting in 1997. They are amazing. I even saw them on tour with Ice Cube. They did a song together, Korn and Ice Cube. Children of the Korn. It's a great song. They have so many. A.D.I.D.A.S (All Day I Dream About Sex), Twist. The hardest one to listen to is Daddy. It's Jonathan Davis singing about what happened to him as a kid and it will break your heart to hear it. Great reaction, BP! Glad you tried it with the headphones! It was great to see you headbanging a little! ❤️
I saw them on tour with Slipknot and Metallica. Amazing lineup. Unfortunately, it was in Amsterdam and at the time it wasn't that common to have softdrugs be legal so they really went for it and were high af on stage and imo didn't really deliver. But that's just me.
Thank you for pulling this out of storage! I love this song. Somewhere I saw a young girl nailing this song. I am glad you are giving all the different genres a chance. The drums and bass pulls me in and then the guitar . I think it slams! I cannot hold my head still,it is such a banger! 🌽🎸🎶🤘🖤
I didn't understand Korn when they first appeared, but I appreciated their intense, unique sound. The Untouchables album was what really hooked me in. X'D I borrowed it from the local library, of all places. But dude, "Tearjerker" and "Seen It All" destroyed me when I finally joined the hype train. Haunting. Korn is haunting in all the ways I didn't realize I needed.
oh my god, as a life long Korn fan, spent many a gig, festival in the mosh with them, so watching you go through a whole load of emotions and then getting it was just bloody fabulous to watch. Brilliant viewing! If you were a good Christian boy who steered away from Korn and Slipknot, did you listen to POD? Alive is a track where I did not touch the floor when I saw them live, because everyone was bouncing! oh and Jonathan (singer Korn) plays the bag pipes! check that out. I think the song is about the music industry taking from the artist and making all the money!
"Daddy" is a hell of a ride if you're looking for something heavy- Song was recorded in one take, and the vocalist (song is a story from his childhood) told the rest of the band not to stop playing/recording no matter what happened. It's the most raw, gut wrenching song I've ever heard. Gotta check it out yourself.
One of the best concerts ever was the family values tour. I got to see korn, ice cube, and Rammstein all in one place and my life hasn't been the same since. Concerts haven't measured up since the 90s for me
I love this channel so much your take on metal is just awesome that you can step outside you're genre with such an open mind I feel you're not working for the differences but looking at the talent involved I would love for you to check out band-maid domination and live version don't get me wrong they make good music vids but they are in their element lie 100 times better it's an all female group from Japan and probably the best rock band in the past 30 years. I'm asking you to just take a chance on something new I really think you'd love it
Jonathan Davis definitely has one of the most unique voices out there. If you thought he was letting go here... you absolutely have to hear "Daddy" but be warned, you want to be in a good place mentally when you start this video because by the end of it you won't be in a good place.
I was a Korn fan growing up. But also 90s rap to Limp Bizkit (they were local to me and pushed by Korn actually) but this music along with Manson and others in the genre were instrumental in my childhood and delaing with certain issues i grew up with. Great reaction.
Yoo BP, So stoked you are dipping into this, already a follower of most of your videos and you would probably be surprised at how much of your current audience are Korn fans. The genre is Nu Metal which Korn was one of the first pioneers, it is a blend of 90's Hip Hop and Metal. This song hits harder if you think about it through the lense of a band who feels trapped by the music industry and is just being a puppet for profit. The 'Ya'll wanna Single' music video lays it out perfectly. If you read many books, Brian Welch is one of the bands guitarist and has a great book called 'Save Me From Myself' where he talks about the early days of the band and eventually leaving for a few years after finding Christ. As said by others, the Twisted Transistor music video is awesome. Korn has always crossed over and worked with great rap and hip hop artists. They have a mix with DFB called 'Coming Undone Wit It's that goes hard and even had an album chopped and screwed by Michael 5000 Watts. Keep having fun brosoph, love the vibes from a class of 2000 kid.
I think if BP listens to Daddy then he will stop listening to Korn. I agree that it helps you make more sense of where Jon's coming from lyrically, but its a heavy subject that most will turn away from them after hearing it.
One of the hardest, darkest, most gut wrenching and meaningful reactions you will ever do is Daddy by Korn. You owe it to yourself to experience truly emotional art.
Loved the reaction. I've been hooked since the 90's when i 1st heard the track Blind. And funny enough,.. this and stuff like limb bizkit opened the door to rap music for me as a hardrock/metal-head back then. Well,.. sure, Walk this way from Aerosmith and Run DMC before that, but you know,.. The background on this lead -singer, who was indeed wearing a kilt, is some heavy stuff that I'm not willing to write in public, but let's say he's been through some truely fucked up shit. Some of which you could find out through songs like Daddy. But make sure you're in a stable headspace if/when you go into that track. I've seen plenty of good suggestions for other Korn tracks, so I'm not gonna add more, besides mentioning that they did a very good MTV Unplugged show aswell, in case you're interested.
Jonathan (the singer) has been through so much, they have a song called "Daddy", it's very hard to hear because it's about him and a story of abuse with a nanny that was a family friend. It's also about how no one believed him when he came clean about it. It's brutal and a masterpiece. I think that's one of the reasons why he writes like this
That song tears me up. But it's such a hard one for people to react to. Until maybe you really know korn and Johnathon Davis. I keep seeing people react to it as their first korn song and it really puts them off I think
@@Mahoney_Hightower Yeah, I get that and it makes sense, only sugested it cause I’ve also seen the “other side”, for example Knox Hill who reacted as his first Korn song and it’s an amazing reaction and already has done more of their songs, but I really get what you’re saying, ofc
Please explore more Korn!! They’re my husband’s favorite band of all time & definitely a favorite of mine too! Finally got to see them live a few years ago, and they were incredible still!
This is the track that preppy mainstream people jumped on the bandwagon even though they didn’t truly understand the lyrics, there’s more awesome songs especially the few songs Korn did with Ice Cube including one that Korn does a Nu Metal cover of Wicked by Ice Cube where Jonathan Davis does his mix of jazz scating and hip hop boomboxing mixed with hardcore punk and metal vocals
This was so, so fantastic. I love this reaction so much and I think it's the most interesting kind of reaction of yours where you get hyped in the music actually just takes you over. It was so much fun watching you 🎉 lol ❤
I was 17 when this came out, all these bands were my youth ❤ I kind of feel sad that you did not have these as your companions back then, but also awesome you are making up for lost time with going back and discovering them now. (I came from the future 😂 oct. 2024) Nice! Your reaction is 🥇
There's also a dual meaning to this song. Primarily it's about the industry, but the underlying meaning you kinda caught when you mentioned all the bullet holes. Basically these guys pioneered a genre (nu-metal) among other bands, but since they became popular so quickly, they accumulated so many haters. Hip-hop purists didn't like them incorporating the rap elements into the music, and the metal elitists hated them for the same reason. So they were taking shots from all directions, so follow the paths of the bullet. They send the hate back to the haters. Since they were creating something new they called they album " Follow the Leader ".I'm 44 yrs old man, and this music actually got me into going to concerts. Linkin Park was my band of choice, but I also rocked with Pantera, luniz, Goodie Mob, UGK, Metallica, n even some country. I had to wait for my friends to catch up. I enjoy the honest reaction.
When my son was a baby, Korn and this song in particular would make him relax. Anything else and he cried. Made me fall back in love with them and we still rock it 7 years later on the way to soccer.
Korn has the ability to heal those of us who were abused as helpless children. What a blessing for you to have not been. I kept everything inside and then I heard Korn "Daddy". Not suggesting you should listen to it but it gave ne permission to be enraged. I live watching your reactions! Keep it up❤
I'm black I love korn. Seen them live 6 times😊
Good music knows no color
And that's the beauty of music. Everyone can enjoy it. 👍
It’s about “the industry” , record companies & how they take advantage of artists pain & emotions. While they are pouring their hearts out in their songs , the companies only care if it makes them money. He feels he is being paraded around like a pet by his record company meanwhile he’s going through anguish & trauma

Gotta throw y'all want a single in there
Shoots and ladder was my introduction to Korn. Crazy song but very good
Yea, Korn was pretty wild for mainstream back in the late 90s. They'd play those right after Brittany Spears on MTV.
Throw in a bit of mudvayne followed with some crazy town, back when mtv actually had music
I "dig"
So, bury me
The 90's created some wild awesomeness while I was in high school
I think you would enjoy “Children of the Korn” with Ice Cube. Under rated banger for sure.

@@0x2A_ Their first album was special, their second was alright, and I never bothered with them after that, after hearing songs like this one. To me this was their "later stuff". They'd lost their swag by this point imo.
Got The Life was a banger though.
@@justinatest9456 Nah I know what you're saying. For most metal bands, their first and second albums are typically more raw and heavy but somewhere along the way with more success they get better production and it loses some of that soul and passion. To note, SOAD, Slipknot, Korn, Deftones, even Limp Bizkit, had very raw and passionate debuts.
Blind was *chefs kiss*
Your facial expressions got Korn’ed. 🤣
I was 18 when this came out… and that beat drop “GO!” still hits just as hard!
Make sure to check out a live version of him playing the bagpipes! 🤘🏼
The sound Korn came out with at that time was so revolutionary. Nothing sounded like them. The guitars almost sound like a DJ scratching decks at times.
The live set from Woodstock is pretty phenomenal. I'd recommend blasting through the first 10 mins or so of that (Blind, Twist, Chi) and you'll see some more of the crazy beat box/chanting you saw here.
Tom Morello, from rage was insane on making a guitar sound like turntables. "Bulls on Parade" was my shit 😂
Woodstock WAS SO FUN
@@Ciph3rN1N3 never got to go. I was an OZZFEST regular down here in South Texas. Never missed a show once they let Ozzy back into San Antonio.
@@supahfly2106 went to a few ozzfest myself . Think I seen Korn 7 times pre 2003ish havent seen them since . Though The Path of Totality help me thru a divorce
Korn "Beat It Up Right" .....Johnathon Davis is a musical genius he wrote most of the music for the movie Queen of the Damned
took me 25 years or so to see them live, and i finally saw them last year, they did not disappoint, been a fan since they came out, but never got to see them live.. Shoots and ladders live was nuts..
OMG! 🤣 Ur face when that drop hit was Priceless!! And hell yes!! 🙌🙌 Follow this with Falling away from me!
Korn is a lot to take in as a first time listen. I went through this same reaction when I first heard them, now I love them.
He should've started with "Got the Life" music video. It leans to Pegasus's style.
Yes-Scottish heritage and plays the bagpipes-Shoots and Ladders starts off w him playing them🥰😁🖤
I haven’t listened to Korn in over 20 years (yikes). I’ve forgotten how much I love this song. Its raw angsty emotion really spoke to 15 year old stuck in catholic school Corinne. 38 year old Corinne totally appreciates it on a whole different level now. Damn BP- are you going to get me back into Nu-Metal after I’ve sworn off of it for almost two decades?!
I fell off like 12ish years ago with keeping up with them, and I have to say the newest album is one of my favorites.
Oh snap getting back to my high school days. I mean if you wanna go deep react to Korn - Clown.
The singer Jonathan davis has a crazy story. He puts his pain in songs. They have so many great songs. Theres an amazing biggie collab too called wake up i think
Fuck yeah! Korn is great
From a long time Korn fan, I have no words. Your reaction said it all! =)
Yasss Korn!! This was totally my shiii growing up in the 90s this limp bizkit, linking park, rage against, system of a down. I loved the NU Metal era.. And it all fused with rap and hip hop so well actually. Also there wild live if u check out the concert from Woodstock 99 it will blow ur mind.
I love how hard he attacks the bass during the chorus, you can literally hear the strings rattle
If you like his beatboxing, you should check out Twist. It's short but sweet.
I have seen Korn 6 times live starting in 1997. They are amazing. I even saw them on tour with Ice Cube. They did a song together, Korn and Ice Cube. Children of the Korn. It's a great song. They have so many. A.D.I.D.A.S (All Day I Dream About Sex), Twist. The hardest one to listen to is Daddy. It's Jonathan Davis singing about what happened to him as a kid and it will break your heart to hear it.
Great reaction, BP! Glad you tried it with the headphones! It was great to see you headbanging a little! ❤️
Family Values Tour was amazing! I saw the show live in Biloxi. Man, those were some good times in the late 90s.
I saw them on tour with Slipknot and Metallica. Amazing lineup. Unfortunately, it was in Amsterdam and at the time it wasn't that common to have softdrugs be legal so they really went for it and were high af on stage and imo didn't really deliver. But that's just me.
Yes Johnathan Davis was wearing and still wears a kilt.
Thank you for pulling this out of storage! I love this song. Somewhere I saw a young girl nailing this song. I am glad you are giving all the different genres a chance. The drums and bass pulls me in and then the guitar . I think it slams! I cannot hold my head still,it is such a banger! 🌽🎸🎶🤘🖤
I didn't understand Korn when they first appeared, but I appreciated their intense, unique sound.
The Untouchables album was what really hooked me in. X'D I borrowed it from the local library, of all places.
But dude, "Tearjerker" and "Seen It All" destroyed me when I finally joined the hype train.
Haunting. Korn is haunting in all the ways I didn't realize I needed.
oh my god, as a life long Korn fan, spent many a gig, festival in the mosh with them, so watching you go through a whole load of emotions and then getting it was just bloody fabulous to watch. Brilliant viewing! If you were a good Christian boy who steered away from Korn and Slipknot, did you listen to POD? Alive is a track where I did not touch the floor when I saw them live, because everyone was bouncing! oh and Jonathan (singer Korn) plays the bag pipes! check that out. I think the song is about the music industry taking from the artist and making all the money!
I could fall asleep to you reading Korn lyrics softly in my ear
aww one of my all time favorite bands since they started, you have to check out more of their stuff
I’m sitting here like… wait till he starts scatting! Lol
This was the first CD I had when I got my drivers license at 16 😂 I’m now 39, sitting on the couch watching this video crying for my youth 😂🤦🏼♀️🤧
"Daddy" is a hell of a ride if you're looking for something heavy- Song was recorded in one take, and the vocalist (song is a story from his childhood) told the rest of the band not to stop playing/recording no matter what happened. It's the most raw, gut wrenching song I've ever heard. Gotta check it out yourself.
Such a gut wrenching raw story for sure. You feel Jonathan's pain.
Dude can hardly handle the R word in this song, and you are trying to get him to look at Daddy? lol
@@Desu-Desu-Chan-San He just seemed a little surprised he didn't notice it to me
Maybe not the next song in but in due time for sure.
Yea not really a good song to check out if your just getting into Korn.
KORN , “ SHOOTS and LADDERS “ is a MUST hear!!!! Especially since you have kids ❤️😎 love ya BP
Wait until he finds out that Jon plays the bagpipes.
One of the best concerts ever was the family values tour. I got to see korn, ice cube, and Rammstein all in one place and my life hasn't been the same since. Concerts haven't measured up since the 90s for me
I love this channel so much your take on metal is just awesome that you can step outside you're genre with such an open mind I feel you're not working for the differences but looking at the talent involved I would love for you to check out band-maid domination and live version don't get me wrong they make good music vids but they are in their element lie 100 times better it's an all female group from Japan and probably the best rock band in the past 30 years. I'm asking you to just take a chance on something new I really think you'd love it
The breakdown - or beatbox part - seen live is something to be experienced.
If you want a ride listen to shoots and ladders
By far my favorite song by Korn, I'm a bit biased though as I love the Bag Pipes lol
I love reactions to metal especially when those who get converted finally get it and properly enjoy the sound and meaning to the music. Great reaction
Jonathan Davis definitely has one of the most unique voices out there.
If you thought he was letting go here... you absolutely have to hear "Daddy" but be warned, you want to be in a good place mentally when you start this video because by the end of it you won't be in a good place.
NuMEtal, Korn are some of if not THE pioneers of Nu Metal, along with Limp Biskit, and Linkin Park
Still waiting on some Deftones bruh!!! No pressure..lmao
💯💯💯
Fuck yes!
I was a Korn fan growing up. But also 90s rap to Limp Bizkit (they were local to me and pushed by Korn actually) but this music along with Manson and others in the genre were instrumental in my childhood and delaing with certain issues i grew up with.
Great reaction.
You seriously do need to listen to Daddy. True story, real emotion, and puts you more into his head with his writing.
Yoo BP,
So stoked you are dipping into this, already a follower of most of your videos and you would probably be surprised at how much of your current audience are Korn fans.
The genre is Nu Metal which Korn was one of the first pioneers, it is a blend of 90's Hip Hop and Metal.
This song hits harder if you think about it through the lense of a band who feels trapped by the music industry and is just being a puppet for profit. The 'Ya'll wanna Single' music video lays it out perfectly.
If you read many books, Brian Welch is one of the bands guitarist and has a great book called 'Save Me From Myself' where he talks about the early days of the band and eventually leaving for a few years after finding Christ.
As said by others, the Twisted Transistor music video is awesome.
Korn has always crossed over and worked with great rap and hip hop artists. They have a mix with DFB called 'Coming Undone Wit It's that goes hard and even had an album chopped and screwed by Michael 5000 Watts.
Keep having fun brosoph, love the vibes from a class of 2000 kid.
I think you gotta listen to Daddy by Korn then a lot of the lyrics make more sense from his albums. Also it's a messed up song just a PSA.
I think if BP listens to Daddy then he will stop listening to Korn. I agree that it helps you make more sense of where Jon's coming from lyrically, but its a heavy subject that most will turn away from them after hearing it.
I'd like to hear someone spit over this instrumental. This could be an epic hip hop track.
One of the hardest, darkest, most gut wrenching and meaningful reactions you will ever do is Daddy by Korn.
You owe it to yourself to experience truly emotional art.
Loved the reaction. I've been hooked since the 90's when i 1st heard the track Blind. And funny enough,.. this and stuff like limb bizkit opened the door to rap music for me as a hardrock/metal-head back then. Well,.. sure, Walk this way from Aerosmith and Run DMC before that, but you know,..
The background on this lead -singer, who was indeed wearing a kilt, is some heavy stuff that I'm not willing to write in public, but let's say he's been through some truely fucked up shit. Some of which you could find out through songs like Daddy. But make sure you're in a stable headspace if/when you go into that track.
I've seen plenty of good suggestions for other Korn tracks, so I'm not gonna add more, besides mentioning that they did a very good MTV Unplugged show aswell, in case you're interested.
Jonathan (the singer) has been through so much, they have a song called "Daddy", it's very hard to hear because it's about him and a story of abuse with a nanny that was a family friend. It's also about how no one believed him when he came clean about it. It's brutal and a masterpiece. I think that's one of the reasons why he writes like this
That song would make for a great reaction, but god it's brutal.
That song tears me up. But it's such a hard one for people to react to. Until maybe you really know korn and Johnathon Davis. I keep seeing people react to it as their first korn song and it really puts them off I think
@@zachhenderson7982 I know, right?? That’s why I mentioned its background, it really is a brutal masterpiece
@@Mahoney_Hightower Yeah, I get that and it makes sense, only sugested it cause I’ve also seen the “other side”, for example Knox Hill who reacted as his first Korn song and it’s an amazing reaction and already has done more of their songs, but I really get what you’re saying, ofc
Please explore more Korn!! They’re my husband’s favorite band of all time & definitely a favorite of mine too! Finally got to see them live a few years ago, and they were incredible still!
Gosh, I saw them live 20 years ago.... on tour with Snoop! This brings back memories!
He’s an eccentric singer, but when it comes down to “getting down” he does it near perfectly
This is the track that preppy mainstream people jumped on the bandwagon even though they didn’t truly understand the lyrics, there’s more awesome songs especially the few songs Korn did with Ice Cube including one that Korn does a Nu Metal cover of Wicked by Ice Cube where Jonathan Davis does his mix of jazz scating and hip hop boomboxing mixed with hardcore punk and metal vocals
Thoughtless and Here to Stay are absolute bangers! Definitely check them out 😊
Man, you were killing me, pausing before the"GO!" That's the orgasm of the song, man! Or, the first one, at least..😅
This was so, so fantastic. I love this reaction so much and I think it's the most interesting kind of reaction of yours where you get hyped in the music actually just takes you over. It was so much fun watching you 🎉 lol ❤
Bro, you seriously need to check out Korn featuring Slipknot live in London doing Sabotage! Absolutely phenomenal.
I was 17 when this came out, all these bands were my youth ❤ I kind of feel sad that you did not have these as your companions back then, but also awesome you are making up for lost time with going back and discovering them now. (I came from the future 😂 oct. 2024) Nice! Your reaction is 🥇
There's also a dual meaning to this song. Primarily it's about the industry, but the underlying meaning you kinda caught when you mentioned all the bullet holes. Basically these guys pioneered a genre (nu-metal) among other bands, but since they became popular so quickly, they accumulated so many haters. Hip-hop purists didn't like them incorporating the rap elements into the music, and the metal elitists hated them for the same reason. So they were taking shots from all directions, so follow the paths of the bullet. They send the hate back to the haters. Since they were creating something new they called they album " Follow the Leader ".I'm 44 yrs old man, and this music actually got me into going to concerts. Linkin Park was my band of choice, but I also rocked with Pantera, luniz, Goodie Mob, UGK, Metallica, n even some country. I had to wait for my friends to catch up. I enjoy the honest reaction.
This album started my love for this band in 98 and they have since and always be my favorite band of all time
gotta check out Daddy by Korn
He has no idea about korn kilts and bagpipes, they're newest album is basically this with dub step and is amazing
When my son was a baby, Korn and this song in particular would make him relax. Anything else and he cried. Made me fall back in love with them and we still rock it 7 years later on the way to soccer.
Korn has the ability to heal those of us who were abused as helpless children. What a blessing for you to have not been. I kept everything inside and then I heard Korn "Daddy". Not suggesting you should listen to it but it gave ne permission to be enraged. I live watching your reactions! Keep it up❤
Excited for more Korn, Blind, Got the Life, Shoots and Ladders, and Falling Away from Me are all greats
