This band is way more important than they get credit for. You can't really put a price on something that makes you feel not alone, at the lowest times of your life.
they are credited for pioneering a totally new music genre, thats very fucking important. Korn is very successful and well known worldwide band. I dont get what you talking about
@bulsky and @cee_hay_mcc7914, you are talking about notes, rhythms, tempo, and tonality. @epicmage82 is talking about the message, the safe space, the topics that weren't dare talked about in most mainstream. That's the importance they don't often get credit for, not just generating a new genre and sound while they were at it.
@@musicman1086 There's always been people/artist/musicians/film makers. ect talking about/sending these messages. These are not original themes/subject matter by far. They're as old as humans. The music genre on the other hand was a first of it's kind. Also, how is a mainstream artist (at the time) a "safe space", that's better left for your therapist/friends/family imo.
The feelings towards this song are very similar, if not identical, to how people felt about Fade To Black by Metallica when it came out in 1984. That feeling that you're not alone, that someone understands, is powerful. Both songs gave people, a lot of them kids, the language to use to make sense of what they were feeling. That's important.
I was bullied at school, beaten by dad at home... KoRn, with their songs with lyrics of life I have lived, was the only friend I had back in those days
Same.. except it was Mom and Dad. Korn was the first time anything really made me felt seen and gave me a sense that there was a possibility of a time after the abuse.
I know this comment is old, but I relate to it, I love my dad to the ends of the earth, he adopted me after my own dad left just before I was born. He wasn't ready for a son or to have a child. I got beaten physically and emotionally, just wanna tell you to be strong brother. Thanks for being here and for motivating me with this comment, much love man.
It was the same for me, my folks were not totally evil but sometimes they were cruel and violent, in more ways than one, and i still remember being a punchingball and getting beat up good for no reason at all while the mom was watching with a smile. Il never forget it, being betrayed so deep and living with the guilt and shame eventhough I know I did not deserve any of it. The anger, the frustration, the memories and most of all hard hatred will stay with you for the rest of your life. This song is very special for me too.
@@tudevoid Love me some early Pearl Jam, Ten was truly an instant classic. While Pearl Jam did talk about mental health issues quite a bit, they weren’t the first either. Many artist have touched on the topic before several times over However, Korn was/is almost exclusively about mental health and confronted it with a rawness that was unprecedented. The have created some of the most cathartic, disturbing, and ultimately powerful music in the last 30 years. Truly legendary, whether you agree or not. This artist has saved soo many lives.
@@Guus115 My depression I get maybe 1 day a month where the storm clears and I can genuinely smile not having to fake it and I actually am motivated to live, the rest of the time sucks dick.
@@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOneI’ll counter that with Senses Fail’s lyric “you are the fire on my apartment floor, sixty stories-I’d rather burn than fall” It’s completely irrelevant actually but I just really think it’s raw and says something about abuse/domestic abuse.
Korn’s music and Johnathan Davis’ words were the reason I didn’t put a bullet through my own skull 25 years ago. They made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that I could get through the abuse, the bullying, the SA. DnD helped me get out of own head and to focus on the stuff that wasn’t all that other bs and darkness echoing around in my head. I am happy now and have moved past it all (mostly) and did get through it. KoRN and Davis will forever have me as a fan and I will never be able to pay them back for getting me through some very dark times and being the very flawed heroes that I needed whenever I needed them.
He has always wrote lyrics that have talked about he's abusive past and talking about committing suicide. He still sings of suicide on his new albums but I do believe that these lyrics are in the wake of losing his wife just a few years ago. Jonathan has always expressed his feelings within his music and that is what makes Korn so different from everybody else.
This album is called 'Issues'. It's one of my faves. I hope you are okay x Korn never shy from being real and honest, it's what makes them bittersweet in my opinion.
As you said Issues album is so epic. And all songs on album are very, very good but for me Somebody someone is the best on this album. Then Beg for me, Make me bed, 4U. And on and on but Somebody someone always touch me.
Issues was a masterpiece, I remember the cover art contest! Didn't get as much love as previous albums but it was probably my favorite along with Follow the Leader.
One thing I love about JD/korn is that instead of falling to his grief and giving up, he used his experience with pain/abuse to create a voice for others who are/have going though the same thing. Respect to him and the band. Will always be a great man in my eyes. Helped me through so many hard times in my life. Still does!
Dude... when I saw you nearly crying but still rocking along with the music, I just wanted to pull you into a hug and tell you it's all going to be alright. Korn is a really good band. Brings back a lot of memories, like you said, of just rocking along to it, singing along to it, and now, as an adult, realizing you had no idea what was actually being said until now...
This band will go down as one of the most iconic and paramount , emotionally, for a whole generation of young adults between 1996 and early 2000’s. They gave a beautiful voice to the monster inside all of us , making it ok to feel this rage, this pain and angsts. It United people that always felt alone and unworthy to even be seen or heard, and this band gave us the Strength to sing with all this emotions. True master piece and timeless.
This video was hard for me to watch the first few times but it makes a point to face the Issue. What I love about this album is that it's appropriately named. It's like each song is about a different issue whether it be physical, mental or social.
I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Korn. Their songs got me past some of the hardest times. These songs came out when I was in high school and came out at the exact time I needed them to. Korn will always have a place in my heart and soul no matter how old I get because of that.
Korn got me through high school and I listened every day and at work. I know every korn song and am a huge fan. I relate to johnathan as I was also taken advantage of as a kid. The rage you have is unparalleled. But when I found korn I had a way to express it and finally release a lot of emotions. Korn is one of my favourite bands. Without them I’m not sure where I’d be now honestly. I’ll forever have love for them.
Untouchables is the album that really got me into Korn. Almost every song speaks to me in some way. And watching the Here to Stay video on TRL got me to buy the album in the first place.
My favorite song from Korn is Can You Hear Me? He refers to trauma almost like a entity that won't stop, or leave him alone, and for a time, you can see it as a false friend, or false protector. It's one of those songs that feel like it was written from my own perspective. I feel Johnathan Davis writes a lot like that. Being able to put words to feelings a lot of people just can't seem to find.
My favorite band of all time. This video and song is gonna make you go through it, like it has alot of other people. Korn is known for making songs about controversial subject matter, and I've always loved and respected them for that. Can't wait for the reaction tomorrow. 🤘❤
My suggestion for the next Korn song would be Faget, being the weird kid in the 90s who wore eyeliner and black nail polish and getting harassed for it that song really resonates with me.
Aileen. It is a follow up video to Freak on a leash. You listened to daddy and it was very hard at that time. My dad choked me out at 15 years old for not taking the trash out on my birthday in front of my friends. I rocked him and I ran backwards saying you can't catch me. He was 39. I have to say he became the best father after that. Korn if you see in this video they appear and are someone to lean on. Relationship and relation and correlation are at work. Somebody someone, Right Now. Banger, Got the life, happy song. Seen them in concert over 20 times. Jonathan Davis wrote the whole sound track for Queen of the Damned. Statix X is on there and so is Disturbed. He was is the movie as well.
Thank you for the video! Korn has a lot of great songs. I think you should listen: Need To, Helmet In The Bush, Clown, Faget, Good God, Mr. Rogers, Kill You, Alone I Break, Are You Ready to Live?, Holding All These Lies, My Gift to You, It’s On, Make Me Bad, No Way, Somebody Someone, Thoughtless, Tearjerker, Counting On Me, When You're Not There, Did My Time, Rotting in Vain, Idiosyncrasy... damn they have too many good songs ❤🩹
I'm glad that they talk about these dark subjects in their songs because you never know who's struggling out there and can find some comfort I guess in knowing that they're not alone, that others are going through similar issues
Issues is one of korns most underrated albums. And deals with alot of personal issues that people deal with in life everyday. This album got me thru alot of hard times.
Woo-hoo can't wait for this! I've said it before any Korn song will do but not of a lot of reactions to the song "Hater" Korn actually had fans send in videos about being bullied and used a bunch of them in the video. It's pretty awesome not the bullying but for allowing people to get their feelings out to be heard
Nice, great choice! On your next Korn reaction, I highly recommend checking out "Did My Time". "Did My Time" is a personal favorite of mine and it's popular amongst the fans, can't wait for this video to premiere! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
This song brought Korn so much popularity, because (unfortunately) SO MANY people could relate to it. I know way too many people who related to this album, particularly this song.
Good God by Korn is one of my favorite songs by them and it rarely, if ever, gets a reactor to to react to said song. Highly recommend Good God. Its brilliant
I'm bobbing to this chorus, thinking "hell yeah, this is good, i'm having fun with this song", singing along "BEATING ME DOWN". Then I return to the vid and see you're crying. Maybe I should actually listen to lyrics for once.
One of their first documentaries that Korn put out. The interviewers are talking to Head and hes talking about a song Johnathan is singing in the booth. Does a close up of Johnathan crying and pans back to Head and hes crying. Its very emotional and sad.
This is the song that made history in nu metal! It's about the ugly truth of this life we live in, and Jonathan was a part of it! He had a very rough and violent moments in his life, but he was strong, many times he had suicidal thoughts! But he realized that life is priceless and he had to move on and stay strong even today after his wife's death!
I respect you as a creator and person a lot. the reason why is after listening to Korn for the first time you went and truly learned about the band and their backstory. not a lot of people do that now days and it's a refreshing thing to see in the younger generation keep up the great work.
One of my favourite bands for the last 20 years. Mr Rogers is an amazing song but emotional, did my time, alone I break, clown (not radio version). All amazing songs.
Very powerful song, love the band I grew not too far away from Bakersfield Ca where KORn originates. Their music resonates to a lot of fans message to Aileen and to everyone that need to find the inner self worth “For all the times you felt like you weren’t enough, I want to assure you that YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH”. ♥️143 PEACE AND LOVE
First off I just wanna say great reaction video. I’m really glad to see you kinda picked up on the deeper meaning and didn’t just hear it for what it is musically and it go deeper than that. You mentioned the beginning of the video reminding you of Freak On A Leash, that’s because the end of that video connects to the beginning of this video. If you remember in that video you made a comment about how the the little girl gave that bullet back to the guy. This video pretty much just picks up from right there where that one left off. I know you’re much more likely to do songs that are in high demand rather than one-off requests, but given Korn’s music deals with a lot of childhood trauma, they have a song that I think is objectively worse than Daddy that I would be interested seeing you react to, especially because it goes way under the radar for a song coming from their most successful album and it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves so it’s almost like the song’s efforts are sort of in vain. It’s a song called Pretty, and it has sort of a specific and unique “experience”, which is; people hear the song, and, it’s sounds unlike Daddy, it comes off pretty standard and straight forward on the surface. Hearing it, you might pick up on a few of the lyrics, and they might sound a little intense, but you don’t really know what they mean so it’s relatively easy to get through. It’s when you look up the meaning afterwards and realize how horrific the meaning of the song you just heard was. And I think that’s the most sensible way to hear it, listen first and look up the meaning after. I’ve people who have been fans of that song for years discover the meaning right there in the comments section and become horrified. Again I know it’s unlikely you’d do a one-off request of a song that’s a little more obscure but pitching the idea was worth a shot. If not then maybe on Metal Mondays. I’m silentwarriorsebastian on Twitch and I watch most of your streams when you go live.
It’s sad but true that Jon writes the best when he is in pain. The Nothing a newer album is a masterpiece and he wrote that while dealing with the death of his mom and his wife. Finally Free and This Loss are amazing tracks.
The vocalist's story is the epitomy of sorrow. There's a song, I forget its name, where's he's just crying on it. Just him crying as the song is about his childhood and they left it recording. Fuck, so harrowing to listen to. Also, you're such a sweet reactor. Always a pleasure, never a chore ❤️
This song, and the video for it, probably summarises Korn's cultural importance the best imo...in the 90's-2000's, they were such a massively cathartic voice and saviour for sooooooo many people who were going through shit, the abused, the outcasts, the weird kids, the queers...back then there was essentially no recognition whatsoever of mental health issues, just "suck it up, stop being a pussy, get on with it"...but then there was Korn, they knew how you felt, and they'd always be there to scream and rock it out with you, and give you the strength to keep going.
Great reaction I think you should check out “Clown” and “Faget” next because it dives into how bad Jonathan Davis was bullied in school and in general.
my momma used to mercilessly beat my ass like in the video, over the smallest fucking things. Korn, LB, Orgy helped me stay angry and strong and not contemplate sui-ci-de. Props to em for helping me when i was a young lad.
KoRn was my refuge from 7th grade until graduation. It is amazingly refreshing to see generations of people still being touched and moved by this music, decades later. The pain and trauma that so many of us endured is unacceptable, but also can not be undone. However, through publicization like this, we have a place to unite, just like the kids in the street. To anyone that is reading this, and feeling the depth of the song, know that life does get better. Things change, and there are still struggles... but the pain you feel right now, does go away.
Korn saved me as a Child…my mother supported me listening to Korn and absolutely loved me being a weird kid….she passed away on Nov 8th….but I was lucky enough to take her to see Korn in September of 2021. I love and miss you mama….
This song means a lot to me in a different perspective to what it truly is, so when I opened my eyes during my not so violent headbanging bits and saw you tearing up, I couldn't help but join you in sharing the tears. So I hope that you're OK and I recommend that if you feel the need to headbang uncontrollably, do it. Not a single one of your commenters are going to blame you for it and we would be accepting of you doing it. If you did want to listen to "Did My Time" by Korn, the video is about being bullied and having enough of being the outcast. Something that resonates with every single one of us that loves Korn
Remember when Jonathan's wife died and it was our turn to stand for him and hold him up? That. That's why Korn exists. He did that for us so many years ago, and when it came time, it was our turn to give him a voice
Loving the Korn reactions, a powerful song to check out would be from Jonathans solo project Basic Needs, it was the closest hes ever gotten to a love song. Its so hauntingly beautiful
Korn got me through an extremely difficult time growing up every time I hear this song it brings back memories that I rather forget but at the same time this song and a lot of other songs that Korn produced saved my life
I have always had Reaction Videos as one of my guilty pleasures on UA-cam so when I say this I can say it with a very strong foundation. You genuinely are one of my absolute favorites. The production quality is always fantastic, the quality of the video youre reacting to is also always fantastic (a lot of reactors make it either too transparent or put some kind of watermark in the middle of it to try and prevent copyright claims), when you pause its to offer very good commentary without being excessive, and most importantly out what may be the biggest draw for me... you are extremely genuine in your reactions and it shows. I think people enjoy watching reaction videos of music because we love the feeling of seeing someone else be introduced to music we have known and loved for most of our lives so seeing how much youre moved by songs like this hits that note perfectly. Keep up the great work. Cant wait for more. Not normally the type to recommend music for someone's channel but recently Nita Strauss just dropped a video with Alissa White-Gluz called "The Wolf You Feed" which is based off the old Cherokee story "The Tale of Two Wolves" (definitely check out the story if you dont know it before listening to the song) so if you would like to react or at least just check it out on your own feel free to. Nita is a lovely woman who is one of the most talented guitarists alive today and Alissa is another example of why Metal just hits differently in all the best ways with a woman that has powerful vocal range at the front.
You analyzed this song very well and couldn't have done it any better. I just found your channel and subscribed. Great Job !!!! Been following Korn since 93. They are my favorite.
Music was her escape. I think that resonates with all of us. We all have been through something dramatic which caused us to feel alone and the music became our life boat to carry us to not sink deep in to the abyss. This is why I will always be a Korn fan. The youth is our future. Be mindful of the youth and the actions you part take around them. All love. 💙
Your reactions, especially to Korn songs, are soooooo heartfelt. How can you not feel what Aileen feels as she reacts to these songs. Thank you, Aileen, for NOT editing your reactions to these songs/ lyrics. It's because of this, that I'm subscribed to your channel👊
i can see the resonation of the hurt and pain in your face IN THE MOMENT which leads me to believe you feel the ACTUAL meaning of the song.... Respect. Rock on young lady..
Soy de Argentina en Sudamérica y la primera vez que vi subtitulado este video empecé a llorar a mares porque vi reflejada mí adolescencia con un padrastro el cual siempre fue violento verbal y emocionalmente conmigo, entre otras cosas desarrolle una profunda depresión llevándome más de 10 años además de hacer meditación trascendental y control metal, algunos años después a mis 24 pude encontrar a alguien que me escucho sin decirme nada ni juzgarme después de lo cual al día siguiente me transforme en otra persona. Se que tantas heridas que tengo en el fondo de mí alma pero a diferencia de antes puedo sobrellevarlo, antes no podía hacerlo y esas heridas las tengo hasta el último día de mí vida
Im so glad I stumbled across this video of yours first on my rabbit hole of Korn reaction videos. Seeing the realness of your emotions throughout the song reminded me of why i fell in love with their music. You earned a follower in me. Keep letting your realness shine through in your videos!
I felt the emotion here. The video REALLY made me realize what the song was about. I always tear up when this song comes on the radio. I play it full blast. It came out in a time in my life where I was in abusive relationship. I eventually had to seek help to escape. To save myself. I hated being on meds, but i was eventually able to get angry enough to break out and heal.. This and a bunch of other songs from this time. In particular Limp Bizkit's "Significant Other". Without them, I wouldn't have made it.
Another great song and very much underrated of theirs of the song Can You Hear Me. It's a different vibe but also talks about a lot of social issues. Especially the mental health problems people have had because of the isolation from COVID-19.
I've been a music junky since Walkmans first came along, recording on cassettes was a work of art in of itself, but still to this day I listen to hours of music daily, it's my first and foremost go to for entertainment (haven't watched a movie in years so TV isn't my forte) and when Korn came along they changed the game, they were one of the first groups who made music that sounded great with subwoofers that were intended for rap/hip-hop, if you listen to them with a pair of 15" subwoofers it'll change how you listen to music forever
Absolutely, @Aileen. 100% spot on commentary. This song was such an empowering song for so many of us because it was the first time many of us felt seen and heard. To hear someone say, "You flirt with suicide. Sometimes thats ok. I flirt with suicide.", and know that simply having those awful thoughts about escaping a horrible, helpless, hopeless situation doesn't automatically make you bad was like having a weight lifted off your chest and being able to catch your breath again. This was therapy-breakthrough territory for many of us and we felt exactly like kiddo at the end did. After going thru so much and having Korn there with you thru it all, you don't want to leave them behind when you find a way out. Such an amazing piece of expression. Korn is forever one of my favorites.
Dude when this came out and they toured here in my hometown it went just like the video...everyone was pumping their fists in the air.thats always gonna be a special memory for me.kornsl has always been and still is a favorite
Korn was one of my favorites growing up. I remember hearing them for the first time during my junior year in High School. My friend Aaron had their tape and let me listen to it for the first time. So heavy and amazing. That whole first album is amazing. Such raw emotion and angst and musical amazement. The song "Daddy" kind of explains what he went through in his childhood. This song is light compared to that one. That song makes my soul weep. "Fake" is another good song that leads into that one. Korn's earlier stuff was mind-blowing. They are still in my top 10 favorites.
I love how you feel these songs. I find it important sometimes to listen to these heavy emotionally difficult songs and just live in those feelings for a bit. However if you ever need one to pick you up out of it, Rush - Spirit of Radio.
Koяn will always be my all time favorite nu metal band. Whenever I’m feeling down or depressed, I’ll always put on Koяn. This is basically a continuation of Daddy
When you listen to Korn you are gonna be confronted with some horrible things and it won't ever be pleasant to chew on what's being discussed. As a fortunate survivor of severe child abuse both physical and mental for so many years until I was finally able enough to leave home at 15 years old and I never went back. Jonathan knows how to take that pain, confusion frustration, and filter it into almost a type of therapy or venting on wax. Super high energy and they deserve all the praise they get..
that's the two edged sword of doing/watching reactions... you never want to spoil the reaction by knowing too much about the song, but then you have to have (or watch) that raw painful reaction from folks who have been through it... well done.
As someone who struggles from physical mental and emotional issues on a daily basis the line "I flirt with suicide sometimes to kill the pain" hits hard to me because that thought process I fight with almost every single day. Awesome music but scary lyrical content. Love your reaction videos.
This band is way more important than they get credit for. You can't really put a price on something that makes you feel not alone, at the lowest times of your life.

I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Korn. Their songs got me past some of the hardest times. These songs came out when I was in high school and came out at the exact time I needed them to. Korn will always have a place in my heart and soul no matter how old I get because of that.
I’m glad you’re here and the world is far better having you in it. Be well.
Korn got me through high school and I listened every day and at work. I know every korn song and am a huge fan. I relate to johnathan as I was also taken advantage of as a kid. The rage you have is unparalleled. But when I found korn I had a way to express it and finally release a lot of emotions. Korn is one of my favourite bands. Without them I’m not sure where I’d be now honestly. I’ll forever have love for them.
Same. Things like korn. WCW. WWF attitude era. Buffy vampire slayer. Goldeneye. Resident evil. Was my excape from a harsh reality
Best comment to relate to
One of my favorite haunting songs by Korn is "Hollow Life"
I love that one. Track 3 i think it's super interesting too
My favorite off Untouchables has to be No One’s There or Alone I Break. Jonathon sounds amazing in Hollow Life too
That, and "alone I break"
That entire album is the best, Hollow Life is such an amazing song.
Untouchables is the album that really got me into Korn. Almost every song speaks to me in some way. And watching the Here to Stay video on TRL got me to buy the album in the first place.
Songs like this actually helped me and made me feel less alone in my thoughts and life experiences
This is a great one. Takes me back in the day when I used to listen to them a lot. Fun fact: Korn was my very first show in 1999! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽🙌🏽
I listened to them back then, kept on going until I hit a strange gap from about '06-'11 then got back into them. 🤘.
@@led.zepper nice. 👍🏽
One of my favorites by Korn that doesn't get enough recognition has to be "Love Song".
I love the video too. Fred Durst directed it. Super cool how all the kids come together to help the girl.
My favorite song from Korn is Can You Hear Me? He refers to trauma almost like a entity that won't stop, or leave him alone, and for a time, you can see it as a false friend, or false protector. It's one of those songs that feel like it was written from my own perspective. I feel Johnathan Davis writes a lot like that. Being able to put words to feelings a lot of people just can't seem to find.
Can you hear me is an amazing song
A lot of memories come up when I hear this. It's such a good song.
She: Looks very disturbed.
Also she: Never looses the groove
🤘❤🔥🤘
My favorite band of all time. This video and song is gonna make you go through it, like it has alot of other people. Korn is known for making songs about controversial subject matter, and I've always loved and respected them for that. Can't wait for the reaction tomorrow. 🤘❤
My suggestion for the next Korn song would be Faget, being the weird kid in the 90s who wore eyeliner and black nail polish and getting harassed for it that song really resonates with me.
Aileen. It is a follow up video to Freak on a leash. You listened to daddy and it was very hard at that time. My dad choked me out at 15 years old for not taking the trash out on my birthday in front of my friends. I rocked him and I ran backwards saying you can't catch me. He was 39. I have to say he became the best father after that. Korn if you see in this video they appear and are someone to lean on. Relationship and relation and correlation are at work. Somebody someone, Right Now. Banger, Got the life, happy song. Seen them in concert over 20 times. Jonathan Davis wrote the whole sound track for Queen of the Damned. Statix X is on there and so is Disturbed. He was is the movie as well.
Thank you for the video! Korn has a lot of great songs. I think you should listen: Need To, Helmet In The Bush, Clown, Faget, Good God, Mr. Rogers, Kill You, Alone I Break, Are You Ready to Live?, Holding All These Lies, My Gift to You, It’s On, Make Me Bad, No Way, Somebody Someone, Thoughtless, Tearjerker, Counting On Me, When You're Not There, Did My Time, Rotting in Vain, Idiosyncrasy...
damn they have too many good songs ❤🩹
I'm glad that they talk about these dark subjects in their songs because you never know who's struggling out there and can find some comfort I guess in knowing that they're not alone, that others are going through similar issues
It’s absolutely amazing that Korn can make you feel strong n powerful about the worst parts of your life!! The music is medicine! 🤘🔥🥰💜
Issues is one of korns most underrated albums. And deals with alot of personal issues that people deal with in life everyday. This album got me thru alot of hard times.
its their best album tbh
I don't think its underrated, it was the shit back then, at the beggining of the 2000s, a very successful album
Woo-hoo can't wait for this! I've said it before any Korn song will do but not of a lot of reactions to the song "Hater" Korn actually had fans send in videos about being bullied and used a bunch of them in the video. It's pretty awesome not the bullying but for allowing people to get their feelings out to be heard
If I remember correctly, this song is continuation of "Freak on a leash"
Nice, great choice! On your next Korn reaction, I highly recommend checking out "Did My Time". "Did My Time" is a personal favorite of mine and it's popular amongst the fans, can't wait for this video to premiere! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
Or Here to stay! Korn have a lot of great great songs, what a collection.
Did my Time and Alone I Break....
I’d also suggest alone I break, thoughtless and here to stay
Rotting In Vain
Korn threw me into rock, and poetic music, raw true music. That's why korn is my band.
I can't wait! One of my favorite KoRn albums! I karaoke this song a lot too. 🖤
So glad you did this song finally... one of the greatest and most influential bands on the planet... you've still got a long way to go Aileen 😊
Wow. Just amazing reaction to this song. It makes me thankful for my family and makes me wonder more about how my kid's friends are being raised.
i have bin listening to Korn since i was 15 my favourite band
This song brought Korn so much popularity, because (unfortunately) SO MANY people could relate to it. I know way too many people who related to this album, particularly this song.
Good God by Korn is one of my favorite songs by them and it rarely, if ever, gets a reactor to to react to said song. Highly recommend Good God. Its brilliant
I'm bobbing to this chorus, thinking "hell yeah, this is good, i'm having fun with this song", singing along "BEATING ME DOWN". Then I return to the vid and see you're crying. Maybe I should actually listen to lyrics for once.
One of their first documentaries that Korn put out. The interviewers are talking to Head and hes talking about a song Johnathan is singing in the booth. Does a close up of Johnathan crying and pans back to Head and hes crying. Its very emotional and sad.
This is the song that made history in nu metal! It's about the ugly truth of this life we live in, and Jonathan was a part of it! He had a very rough and violent moments in his life, but he was strong, many times he had suicidal thoughts! But he realized that life is priceless and he had to move on and stay strong even today after his wife's death!
I respect you as a creator and person a lot. the reason why is after listening to Korn for the first time you went and truly learned about the band and their backstory. not a lot of people do that now days and it's a refreshing thing to see in the younger generation keep up the great work.
One of my favourite bands for the last 20 years. Mr Rogers is an amazing song but emotional, did my time, alone I break, clown (not radio version). All amazing songs.
I'm so happy you reacted to this Korn song.
Edit: This the squeal to Freak on a Leash too.
Aaaaannd. Fred Durst wrote and directed this video.
Very powerful song, love the band I grew not too far away from Bakersfield Ca where KORn originates. Their music resonates to a lot of fans message to Aileen and to everyone that need to find the inner self worth “For all the times you felt like you weren’t enough, I want to assure you that YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH”. ♥️143 PEACE AND LOVE
If you ever get the chance to see them live YOU MUST. I’ve seen countless bands from pop-deathmetal and they are at the top of the list
First off I just wanna say great reaction video. I’m really glad to see you kinda picked up on the deeper meaning and didn’t just hear it for what it is musically and it go deeper than that. You mentioned the beginning of the video reminding you of Freak On A Leash, that’s because the end of that video connects to the beginning of this video. If you remember in that video you made a comment about how the the little girl gave that bullet back to the guy. This video pretty much just picks up from right there where that one left off.
I know you’re much more likely to do songs that are in high demand rather than one-off requests, but given Korn’s music deals with a lot of childhood trauma, they have a song that I think is objectively worse than Daddy that I would be interested seeing you react to, especially because it goes way under the radar for a song coming from their most successful album and it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves so it’s almost like the song’s efforts are sort of in vain. It’s a song called Pretty, and it has sort of a specific and unique “experience”, which is; people hear the song, and, it’s sounds unlike Daddy, it comes off pretty standard and straight forward on the surface. Hearing it, you might pick up on a few of the lyrics, and they might sound a little intense, but you don’t really know what they mean so it’s relatively easy to get through. It’s when you look up the meaning afterwards and realize how horrific the meaning of the song you just heard was. And I think that’s the most sensible way to hear it, listen first and look up the meaning after. I’ve people who have been fans of that song for years discover the meaning right there in the comments section and become horrified. Again I know it’s unlikely you’d do a one-off request of a song that’s a little more obscure but pitching the idea was worth a shot. If not then maybe on Metal Mondays. I’m silentwarriorsebastian on Twitch and I watch most of your streams when you go live.
It’s sad but true that Jon writes the best when he is in pain. The Nothing a newer album is a masterpiece and he wrote that while dealing with the death of his mom and his wife. Finally Free and This Loss are amazing tracks.
So cool that you know exactly why he writes the songs that he writes
The vocalist's story is the epitomy of sorrow. There's a song, I forget its name, where's he's just crying on it. Just him crying as the song is about his childhood and they left it recording. Fuck, so harrowing to listen to.
Also, you're such a sweet reactor. Always a pleasure, never a chore ❤️
It's called Daddy, she already reacted to it
@@Sumoniggro, ah, okay. Thank you.
Korn in the 90’s was such a force. You would have had to been alive to experience it. Korn forever!!!
This song, and the video for it, probably summarises Korn's cultural importance the best imo...in the 90's-2000's, they were such a massively cathartic voice and saviour for sooooooo many people who were going through shit, the abused, the outcasts, the weird kids, the queers...back then there was essentially no recognition whatsoever of mental health issues, just "suck it up, stop being a pussy, get on with it"...but then there was Korn, they knew how you felt, and they'd always be there to scream and rock it out with you, and give you the strength to keep going.
Great reaction I think you should check out “Clown” and “Faget” next because it dives into how bad Jonathan Davis was bullied in school and in general.
my momma used to mercilessly beat my ass like in the video, over the smallest fucking things.
Korn, LB, Orgy helped me stay angry and strong and not contemplate sui-ci-de. Props to em for helping me when i was a young lad.
"THIS LOSS" OR "DARKNESS IS REVEALING" Are great songs VERY RELATABLE FOR MANY.
KoRn was my refuge from 7th grade until graduation. It is amazingly refreshing to see generations of people still being touched and moved by this music, decades later. The pain and trauma that so many of us endured is unacceptable, but also can not be undone. However, through publicization like this, we have a place to unite, just like the kids in the street.
To anyone that is reading this, and feeling the depth of the song, know that life does get better. Things change, and there are still struggles... but the pain you feel right now, does go away.
Korn saved me as a Child…my mother supported me listening to Korn and absolutely loved me being a weird kid….she passed away on Nov 8th….but I was lucky enough to take her to see Korn in September of 2021. I love and miss you mama….
This song means a lot to me in a different perspective to what it truly is, so when I opened my eyes during my not so violent headbanging bits and saw you tearing up, I couldn't help but join you in sharing the tears.
So I hope that you're OK and I recommend that if you feel the need to headbang uncontrollably, do it. Not a single one of your commenters are going to blame you for it and we would be accepting of you doing it.
If you did want to listen to "Did My Time" by Korn, the video is about being bullied and having enough of being the outcast. Something that resonates with every single one of us that loves Korn
Remember when Jonathan's wife died and it was our turn to stand for him and hold him up? That. That's why Korn exists. He did that for us so many years ago, and when it came time, it was our turn to give him a voice
Loving the Korn reactions, a powerful song to check out would be from Jonathans solo project Basic Needs, it was the closest hes ever gotten to a love song. Its so hauntingly beautiful
Korn got me through an extremely difficult time growing up every time I hear this song it brings back memories that I rather forget but at the same time this song and a lot of other songs that Korn produced saved my life
I have always had Reaction Videos as one of my guilty pleasures on UA-cam so when I say this I can say it with a very strong foundation. You genuinely are one of my absolute favorites. The production quality is always fantastic, the quality of the video youre reacting to is also always fantastic (a lot of reactors make it either too transparent or put some kind of watermark in the middle of it to try and prevent copyright claims), when you pause its to offer very good commentary without being excessive, and most importantly out what may be the biggest draw for me... you are extremely genuine in your reactions and it shows. I think people enjoy watching reaction videos of music because we love the feeling of seeing someone else be introduced to music we have known and loved for most of our lives so seeing how much youre moved by songs like this hits that note perfectly. Keep up the great work. Cant wait for more.
Not normally the type to recommend music for someone's channel but recently Nita Strauss just dropped a video with Alissa White-Gluz called "The Wolf You Feed" which is based off the old Cherokee story "The Tale of Two Wolves" (definitely check out the story if you dont know it before listening to the song) so if you would like to react or at least just check it out on your own feel free to. Nita is a lovely woman who is one of the most talented guitarists alive today and Alissa is another example of why Metal just hits differently in all the best ways with a woman that has powerful vocal range at the front.
You analyzed this song very well and couldn't have done it any better. I just found your channel and subscribed. Great Job !!!! Been following Korn since 93. They are my favorite.
Music was her escape. I think that resonates with all of us. We all have been through something dramatic which caused us to feel alone and the music became our life boat to carry us to not sink deep in to the abyss. This is why I will always be a Korn fan. The youth is our future. Be mindful of the youth and the actions you part take around them. All love. 💙
Your reactions, especially to Korn songs, are soooooo heartfelt. How can you not feel what Aileen feels as she reacts to these songs. Thank you, Aileen, for NOT editing your reactions to these songs/ lyrics. It's because of this, that I'm subscribed to your channel👊
i can see the resonation of the hurt and pain in your face IN THE MOMENT which leads me to believe you feel the ACTUAL meaning of the song.... Respect. Rock on young lady..
Seeing someone bop while fighting back tears.. What else can you say but, Korn.. Great reaction and much love Aileen!
Soy de Argentina en Sudamérica y la primera vez que vi subtitulado este video empecé a llorar a mares porque vi reflejada mí adolescencia con un padrastro el cual siempre fue violento verbal y emocionalmente conmigo, entre otras cosas desarrolle una profunda depresión llevándome más de 10 años además de hacer meditación trascendental y control metal, algunos años después a mis 24 pude encontrar a alguien que me escucho sin decirme nada ni juzgarme después de lo cual al día siguiente me transforme en otra persona. Se que tantas heridas que tengo en el fondo de mí alma pero a diferencia de antes puedo sobrellevarlo, antes no podía hacerlo y esas heridas las tengo hasta el último día de mí vida
The question is how much truth should we show people? I mean, humanity is a deep well of depravity.
Im so glad I stumbled across this video of yours first on my rabbit hole of Korn reaction videos. Seeing the realness of your emotions throughout the song reminded me of why i fell in love with their music. You earned a follower in me. Keep letting your realness shine through in your videos!
One of my favorite Korn songs is Thoughtless. It is a very powerful song, and the video is very powerful. I highly recommend watching it.
Hadn't heard this song in YEARS.. your reaction took me back and was so powerful.
I felt the emotion here. The video REALLY made me realize what the song was about. I always tear up when this song comes on the radio. I play it full blast. It came out in a time in my life where I was in abusive relationship. I eventually had to seek help to escape. To save myself. I hated being on meds, but i was eventually able to get angry enough to break out and heal.. This and a bunch of other songs from this time. In particular Limp Bizkit's "Significant Other". Without them, I wouldn't have made it.
Another great song and very much underrated of theirs of the song Can You Hear Me. It's a different vibe but also talks about a lot of social issues. Especially the mental health problems people have had because of the isolation from COVID-19.
That reation was real you earned my sub. Being a huge korn fan and a victim of the same things thank you for the empathy
Korn is eternal and right.. period
korn saved me, i was dealing with abuse alot as a kid and no one was there for me. korn music made me felt understood and less alone.
The rawness and power of Korn's songs and lyrics, jeez, so intense!
Korn is peak Rock.
A lot of korn's songs come from a very dark place. I'm 60 years old and still bang my head to korn as well as many other fantastic bands.
Thank you again for an amazing, truthful, and thought-provoking reaction.
Been listening to Korn for over 20 years. I love how much empathy and attention to detail you show. All the best!
I've been a music junky since Walkmans first came along, recording on cassettes was a work of art in of itself, but still to this day I listen to hours of music daily, it's my first and foremost go to for entertainment (haven't watched a movie in years so TV isn't my forte) and when Korn came along they changed the game, they were one of the first groups who made music that sounded great with subwoofers that were intended for rap/hip-hop, if you listen to them with a pair of 15" subwoofers it'll change how you listen to music forever
As someone who grew up in a nightmare that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, this song helped me out a lot.
Most definitely should check them out live when you get the chance 🤗
Absolutely, @Aileen. 100% spot on commentary. This song was such an empowering song for so many of us because it was the first time many of us felt seen and heard.
To hear someone say, "You flirt with suicide. Sometimes thats ok. I flirt with suicide.", and know that simply having those awful thoughts about escaping a horrible, helpless, hopeless situation doesn't automatically make you bad was like having a weight lifted off your chest and being able to catch your breath again.
This was therapy-breakthrough territory for many of us and we felt exactly like kiddo at the end did. After going thru so much and having Korn there with you thru it all, you don't want to leave them behind when you find a way out.
Such an amazing piece of expression. Korn is forever one of my favorites.
Dude when this came out and they toured here in my hometown it went just like the video...everyone was pumping their fists in the air.thats always gonna be a special memory for me.kornsl has always been and still is a favorite
Korn was one of my favorites growing up. I remember hearing them for the first time during my junior year in High School. My friend Aaron had their tape and let me listen to it for the first time. So heavy and amazing. That whole first album is amazing. Such raw emotion and angst and musical amazement. The song "Daddy" kind of explains what he went through in his childhood. This song is light compared to that one. That song makes my soul weep. "Fake" is another good song that leads into that one. Korn's earlier stuff was mind-blowing. They are still in my top 10 favorites.
That was the sweetest reaction, I love seeing people understanding “their” lyrics and being moved by it
I love how you feel these songs. I find it important sometimes to listen to these heavy emotionally difficult songs and just live in those feelings for a bit. However if you ever need one to pick you up out of it, Rush - Spirit of Radio.
Koяn will always be my all time favorite nu metal band. Whenever I’m feeling down or depressed, I’ll always put on Koяn. This is basically a continuation of Daddy
When you listen to Korn you are gonna be confronted with some horrible things and it won't ever be pleasant to chew on what's being discussed. As a fortunate survivor of severe child abuse both physical and mental for so many years until I was finally able enough to leave home at 15 years old and I never went back. Jonathan knows how to take that pain, confusion frustration, and filter it into almost a type of therapy or venting on wax. Super high energy and they deserve all the praise they get..
Great song choice 👍. This is my favorite song by Korn.
My favorite band!!! I love how they sing about abuse and suicide and how people who experienced those issue and let people know you are no alone.
that's the two edged sword of doing/watching reactions... you never want to spoil the reaction by knowing too much about the song, but then you have to have (or watch) that raw painful reaction from folks who have been through it... well done.
As someone who struggles from physical mental and emotional issues on a daily basis the line "I flirt with suicide sometimes to kill the pain" hits hard to me because that thought process I fight with almost every single day. Awesome music but scary lyrical content. Love your reaction videos.
I was 11 or 12 when I found this for the first time. Now 32. Still alive
This is my outlet. Music in general
