Daddy: *starts*
Him:*Stays silent the whole song*
Nobody warned him about that? That's cold.
This album is a masterpiece. Started a whole new movement of metal.
It's not metal you can never compare Korn to Dio, Manamor or Mega death. It's new age metal or rap grung. I was an 80's baby Korn came out when I was hitting my musical spert
@@Spicoli1Bilek Nobody likes a purists dude.
@@Spicoli1Bilek U´r right, that's not metal, that's NU Metal a metal subgender and it's fvcking awesome!
@@mainardofarias9135 nu metal is real music
@@Spicoli1Bilekeveryone classes korn as metal. Its nu metal. Despite what you say. Korn is METAL
Okay so, a little context (i haven't watched the complete video yet)
KoRn recorded this Album Live in studio. Meaning, instead of them recording their own Instruments seperately, and slicing them together, they performed songs in their Entirety (like a Live performance or Jam Session).
The only parts that weren't were the Bagpipes in Shoots and Ladders.
The breakdown that Jonathan Davis had was real. He wrote "Daddy" to address and open up about being a Molestation Victim. It is said that when he was an Adolescent, he was constantly getting Exploited Sexually by A relative who often came to babysit home (a Distant Aunt if i remember correctly). It isn't Actually about his Father. I know the title makes it seem like so.
While Jonathan starts having a breakdown, the rest of the band isn't sure about what to do. Because they thought it's just one of those Illegible Phrases thing that he does in a lot of songs. That's why they kinda keep playing randomly, until they realised that it was his real reaction. Once everyone realised it, they stopped and hugged him.
They kept it I guess, probably because that's how Honest Jonathan finally was at addressing something about himself that happened. In society, Men are looked down upon if they're a victim of anything. By other Men, as well as Women.
It's been very hard for him to sing Daddy Live. He only did it once during the Tour for this Album's promotion. He sung it again in 2016 i think. Almost 22 years later!
The story changes everytime someone says it
@@Samuelon552 Yeah i'm sure it was a neighbor not a relative
In fact, he gave to the other members of the band the order to play whatever happens, that's what the say, and the demo version contain no cries and is really different, so it seems to be true
I've read books about jd and other band mates it was his babysitter. no family members raped him. the step mom didn't care though so he hates her. he has forgiven his dad. his dad didn't believe him. he never layed a hand on jd.
@@jovany69it was some unspecified family friend
FYI "Ball Tongue" does not have actual lyrics, in those parts after the "ball tongue!" chorus. That's just Jonathan Davis growling and making up words and noises, mostly under the effects of methamphetamines, and speaking of, Ball Tongue was a nickname given to Jeff Creath, he was a long time friend and manager during the early days of Korn, he was a real tweaker and when he was spun for doing too much meth his tongue hanged and rolled and looked like a ball, so they started calling him "ball tongue", even though he was a friend with the guys in the band he really fucked them over and their friendship ended.
I think some full sentances are in there like "you're a psycho monkey" just that he made them up in the spot
I’ve always wondered how people managed to get clean after meth. I understand wanting the high part (but makes u do the craziest shit) but even just one use, you experience the most intense withdrawals.
@@sukiyu.g Jonathan Davis quit meth cold turkey, just like that, right after they finished recording the 1st album and started touring to promote it, he realized that playing every night was not going to work if he was on meth, those two things just didn't mix, so he quit it, even tho he quit meth he turned to alcohol and cocaine, specially alcohol, which it was a big part of writing lyrics for Life Is Peachy, he was drunk most of the time.
@@nastierpogothat explains that one song that’s just fuck shit balls tits
The song “faget” is about a childhood bully he had when he was at school. Anyways, if you liked this album you should definitely check out their next album “life is peachy” still has that super raw and heavy sound. There third album “follow the leader” is pretty good too. They went a little more radio friendly on that one but it’s still a great album.
John Davis was molested by a family friend. when he came out with this story, people made fun of him and called him those things.
@@craigdepauw2664 actually the bullying was because he was a goth kid who listened to new wave bands, had long hair, wore makeup, and sometimes wore kilts. The bullies were being homophobic because he wasn’t traditionally “manly”, hence the line “I’m just a prettyboy, whatever you call it, you wouldn’t know a real man if you saw it”
They did get radio friendly, but their music still slapped, same with Breaking Benjamin. Korn's last 3 albums have been a blast to listen to as well, The Serenity Of Suffering was the album I absolutely needed starting high school and consistently played it every week during the high school years
1:19:46 "Whaooo! Am I on the final boss battle now?"
Me: You're about to get f*%>ing wrecked. Strap in buddy, it ain't gonna be pretty. It may just ruin your day.
You held up very well. Great reaction. Glad you liked... most of it. About to watch your slipknot video next. Cheers.
the first 4 korn albums are my favorite. everything after that is good to but they never had that level of intensity those first 4 had. IMO
Cold is hard af tho
Less drugs lol
Untouchables was good as well, but after that there was just some songs on their albums that were good.
tbh take a look in the mirror is my fav album
@@neab1320yall want a single say fuck that 🗣️🔥🔥
"I feel this man's pain" and I'm just thinking "wait until you get to Daddy". lol. Very cool you did this album. THis is my favorite album of any band. You should try Antichrist Superstar by Manson. Very good. Enjoy Slipknot and nice channel.
Hey man. Kick ass album for sure thx for this video. Only one singer in KoRn. Jonathan Davis is he. This guy can do anything with his voice. As you’ll hear as you get into they’re other albums. I’ve been with these guys since 1998. Rock on!!¡
@@kw1ll1sreacts but it was head (one of the guitarists) screaming “DO YOU EVER…” in lies.
One of the greatest metal albums of our time. Unrivalled emotion and heaviness
You should do White Pony by Deftones!
Jonathan Davis does have a solo album called black labyrinth. It's amazing and very experimental instrumentality wise.
This is great! As far as rap sampling them, it was just the opposite, those parts they were emulating early Cypress Hill. Also those Ball Tongue lyrics have been debunked. He’s just scatting in the chorus. So many of these lyrics are incorrect unfortunately. 🤘🏻
One lyrical fix (it goes):
‘I can see, I can see I’m going blind
I can see, I can see I’m going blind’
Nice reaction vid, man …
~;^\
I was 12 when this came out and immediately obsessed!! Korn has such a unique sound, no one sounds like them and never will! This might be their best work but their first 3 albums are all worth listening to. Great video. The 90’s was such a great time for music in every genre, thankful I was there for it
bro the last song is so special to me because i’ve been through sa, and the song makes me feel heard and understood. it’s safe to say i almost cried
I just wanna say I did cry. I felt his pain
I'm halfway through and I'm loving the video man, is cool to watch a reaction where the person watching has something to add to the music they're listening to, very good video.
Was really excited to see someone do a full Album reaction to this Masterpiece. I'm 4 Songs in and not disappointed 🤘looking forward to the Rest of it and Life is Peachy
I subscribed to your Channel and I'm definitely excited to what you have to offer Mate 👌
I appreciate :)
Korn is totally awesome I love ❤️ them so much they all have been threw something but yet came out strong ! You are truly amazing for giving korn a try hope you become a korn fan 😊
Thank you for this reaction video, it reminds me the first time I heard the first Korn in my teenage years, that was truly heavy
Of course!
F**et is about how Jonathan was bullied and called homophobic slurs in high school. He was a goth kid back in the 80s, so he listened to new wave bands like The Cure & Duran Duran and wore makeup. This lead bullies to treat him horribly and call him gay and accuse him of being less of a man. The yells of “HIV” are because bullies would call him that as a nickname, referring to the disease HIV, but pronouncing it as “hivve”. It’s also about how he has questioned his own sexuality and identity with lines like “all my life, who am I?”
It’s pretty much him getting back at his bullies and condemning the homophobic super macho mindset they had. “I’m just a prettyboy whatever you call it. You wouldn’t know a real man if you saw it.”
Knowing the meaning of the song I have no problem listening to it
26:14 I do believe Head and\or Monkey do backup vocals in some songs.
Head was the one doing background vocals till he left the band, than Munky had to kinda took over his parts. Nowadays they both do it.
Your vibe is infectious! Love it
This album is definitely something else. Teenage nights spent screaming these lyrics into a pillow.
I love this comment. Thank you
Fantastic reaction to this masterpiece buddy!!! I do believe your life changed a little after listening to this!!!!
amazing video
Enjoyed your thoughts on Korn. You should get on some more album reactions if you can. Also noticed your headphones. I have two from that company. It good to see people using quality to listen and react.
Watching your reaction all over again... great work, man.. :)
Great reaction! Nice to see actual analysis. Noticed you don’t post much anymore but I’d love to see more from you 💪🏽
Damn, I wish I could go back and listen to this for the first time. It changed my life.
Great shit man! Need more album reviews!!
Dude you should do Mudvaynes LD 50! Also a band called Hed (PE). Also, Korn has a song that was exclusively on the Crow soundtrack called Sean Olsen. Its really good. If you haven't already seen it you should check out a movie called 30 days of night. It's one of my favorite depictions of vampires ever.
Yes LD50 please
24:47 You just earned a sub! Always find inspiration in music no matter what the genre it is.
same
Hats off to you bro u endured daddy , that happy slappy bass near the end cracks me up everytime . Korn's best? Layla... you'll see
You telling me Shoots and ladders doesn't have a part of One? :V
Great reaction man. It's a pleasure to revisit complete albums.
HOLD UP
You only have like 200 subs wtf, you deserve more, your reaction vids are great
Do you take requests or do individual songs?
there’s 14 korn albums and 8 of them you should DEFINITELY react to.
Life is Peachy (1996)
Follow the Leader (1998) - the album that made them rockstars
Issues (1999)
Untouchables (2002)
The Paradigm Shift (2013)
Serenity of Suffering (2015)
The Nothing (2019)
These are their best albums and your life will change. There’s no denying it.
Enjoy the music brotha 💯💯
They are consistent af with albums.
Take A Look In The Mirror and See You On The Other Side slander. They absolutely should also be listened to.
@@THEhelloinsanity syotos is not great but i like talitm
@@metalmike6668 SYOTOS is my favorite, TALITM #2, lol.
K3 is cool af. Takes few listens through it to click tho.
Loved this reaction 😅 but i wish the spotify lyrics were corrected lol
I bet you figured this out already and I haven't read all the comments so i hope I'm not repeating, but there is a good reason, as a rapper, your relating to this band. Korn is actually pioneering a new genre at this time called NuMetal, a sort of fusion of Hard Rock and Hip-Hop, both in the vocal performance and in the musicality of the instruments. Soon after Limp Bizkit, Incubus, Rammstein and many others followed suit and they toured together a lot, all unique in their own way. Korn is still the best but Limp Bizkit is a fun journey as well starting with Three Dolla Bill album!
Great reaction and album review! glad I watched the whole thing!
Korn Lyrics can be quite hard to figure out at times because Jonathan Davis always said that they don't put the lyrics in the CD Booklets because if you cannot figure out the lyrics from listening to the music you're not really listening.
one of the best albums of the 90s for sure
The album you just listened too us the Foundation of Nu-Metal, but Korns "follow the leader " is another work of art, they combine there style with mainstream and it vaulted them into super stardom. Alot of diehard heavy korn fans didn't like it, but you would greatly appreciate the artistry.. should definitely check it out.
You figured out the meaning of shoots and ladders before you even heard the song😭💪
Man, seeing and hearing a black dude loving listening to KoRn for the first time makes me so happy. There shouldn’t be a divide. It’s not weird for a white person to love hip hop and it shouldn’t be weird for a black person to love a completely new genre to them either. I haven’t stopped smiling through this whole video.
This is the first video I have watched of yours but I’m subscribing and I’ll keep watching all of it.
Much love brother 🤟
While listening to “lies” it’s funny you mentioned it sounds like a vampire theme song. If you’ve ever heard of the movie “queen of the damned” Jonathan Davis, singer for KoRn, writes the songs for the vampire lestat
Yeah, Slipknot and Korn are boxed into the same genre of Nu-metal, but their sound is very different...
Also just a lil note, since i haven't seen anyone mention it...
This album basically blew the doors open for the Nu-Metal craze that was massively popular throughout the 90's and early 2000's...
The state of the music industry was getting stale back then, but this album flipped the whole thing upside down.
наконец то нашла нормального реакционера,жду больше видео с корн
You should react to some of the bootleg live performances from like 1994-97 that are on UA-cam, they’re gems. The albums are beautiful but Korn was on another level live.
How the hell did Musixmatch dare to put lyrics to Jonathan's scatts in Ball Tongue? that's so dumb. By the way first video I see of yours and you have a charming energy. Loved it
Total MASTERPIECE 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
10:15 John isn’t singing actual lyrics here, he’s scatting
The second crow movie has a Korn song in it called Sean Olsen it’s a really good song,, also you should react to Korn’s second album!!
Oh yeah, in some parts of ball tongue song, Jonathan actually raps in there during live concerts
All albums are unique. This is classic. Untouchables. Great as well
Hey my boy I just saw this in my recommended could you do the follow the leader album from korn
I haven't met any of the members but from stories I've heard from people that have, Korn is really nice to their fans and I think that during the moment you were with them it was just becuase of them being drunk
The boss battle as you referred to it as, is not about his parents doing anything to him, it's about his parents not believing him when he told them something was going on. The emotion in this song is frightening and iconic at the same time JD went years and could never perform this song live. He has only done it a hand full of times. Also at the end when he is talking and crying, it wasn't suppose to be recorded, but the producer kept the tape running, all that you hear at the end was/is not part of the song its JD breaking down 100% raw emotion..
you should definitely react to their 2nd album Life is Peachy it is just as good as the first album
Awesome reaction!!! KoRn's music helped me get through my F'd up Childhood , always been like my 2nd favorite band of all time , & I'm 44 years old so you know that's been quite a while !
Great react, More korn please support ti México 🇲🇽❤️🤟
when will you do the self titled slipknot album? I know you said next album reaction, but any particular date? I'm really enjoying these man, honestly.
Man its awesome that you chose this Korn album. To me personally its their best just like Undertow is to TOOL and like Adrenaline is to Deftones. Id say the same about the selftitled Slipknot album and LD.50 to Mudvayne.
awesome reaction man!, you should react to Coal Chamber - Self Titled next, also just subbed
Dude man i wouldn't care if it is my favorite song , i dont watch reaction videos for fake ass reactions, i watch them to get peoples true opinion
Keep it real and ill keep watching
"Mary had a little lamb fleece white as M-M-M-M" 😂
In shoots and ladders when that verse is played he also follows it with "Yessir yessir three bags full"
i would also check out Hed Pe’s first album. It’s rock/metal/hip hop/punk/reggae. it’ll change the way you think of music. just go for it
I'm so happy someone mentioned hed(pe). I looooved their first two albums
This album came out changed what I thought I liked in music. This was it 🔥🔥🔥
You know, my favorite part of shoots and ladders. When they were doing the merry had a little lamb. You could hear the baba Black Sheep Nursery rhyme
You should watch "Queen of the Damned" (Rock Star Vampire Movie) and Jonathan Davis put the soundtrack together, and was even a ticket scalper in the movie..
I used to play twisted metal 2 on PS1 and listen to this album when I was 14.
So down for a shoots and ladders cover
homie i am TELLING you. listen to ALL those korn albums and it WILL inspire you. you have noooo idea. i can tell ur diggin this shit and i gotta see u react to those other korn albums
Watched Queen of the damned. It's a vampire rock music film and Jonathan makes the music and songs for it.
You should definitely check nation - sepultura
Full album review. This is awesome.
You are awesome
Correct me if I am wrong but "Daddy" is about a neighbor or baby sitter who was abusing Jonathan and his parents didn't believe him when he told them what was happening to him, hence the mommy and daddy references.
It was a female babysitter who was a friend of the family
I’m just now discovering this video but update..Spotify has updated the lyrics 😂
lol thanks
Your next reaction should be Korns second album, Life is Peachy
Sub number 307. This is only the 2nd video I’ve seen but I’m interested in seeing where you go.
Great reaction, and by the way, it’s only Jonathan Davis that’s doing the singing in the band!
You gotta listen to the “Life is Peachy” album bro. It’s a little more mature then this album, but it’s still a masterpiece. It’s their second album.
49:04 Did you see like a shadow pass by the lil peep sign? Was that from outside? Ghost?
I've been lucky to see KoRn in there prime 3 times and it was amazing everytime
what i heard was that 'ring around the rosies' nursery rhyme was from the middle ages around the black plague, as a ring on the palm of your hand was a symptom
Def wrong lyrics lol, loved the reaction, cheers!
@@kw1ll1sreacts he does a lot of scatting which aren't necessarily supposed to form any meaningful words or sentences. At least afaik. Also I think he said in an interview that he doesn't like to clarify or write the lyrics down so that they could have multiple interpretations. So unless the lyrics were explicitly written down by them, you can take them with a grain of salt. That should clear some confusion if you're going to do their next album Life is Peachy :p
One of the guitarists does the back up vocals
48:49 Do it..
51:37 That was quick mind process
Thank you!
Should do Issues. It comes off to me as a concept album or something. It's very cohesive.
A little info about the lyrics on this album (and all of Korns albums for that matter): They never officially released any lyrics to their songs. The singer, Jonathan, stated that he wanted fans to LISTEN primarily to the emotional quality of the songs, rather than follow along in lyrics. He even stated it was fine for fans to make up their own lyrics, based on what they *thought* he was singing! It was all about making a personal connection with the songs.
So, any Korn lyric found online, or in Spotify, is not official.
WASSUP
i dont know if ball tongues scat singing is actual words and sentences. ball tongue refers to someone whos doped up on something so it feels and sounds like their tongue is a ball when they speak
A little bit of fun facts about the album:
Ball Tongue is about a guy that I believed mooched off the band for a long time that they called Ball Tongue. In the chorus, Spotify thinks they identified lyrics, but the singer claimed that he said absolutely nothing. The guitarist, Brian Head Welch, was the one that screamed Ball Tongue in the track.
Clown is about a guy in a Clown costume who had tried to beat Jonathan Davis up on stage before a body guard knocked him out. Probably my favorite song on the album.
Head also sings in the chorus of Lies
Daddy is about a guy who had molested Jonathan Davis, his mom allegedly saw it but did nothing about it. Very brutal song, probably the most vulnerable album that’s out still. Not many do it like JD does it.
I should also add that this is the album that started the ‘Nu Metal’ genre that has bands from slipknot all the way to POD and Papa Roach.
If you are looking to for a great Death Metal scream tutorial, check out Happy Lights. It’s a vocalist who has great videos on how to do them. Also check out his band Tallah, it’s like Korn and Slipknot on steroids.
52:20 “Go!”
JD: GO!
KW1LL1S: 😮
please do the slipknot self titled album, it's truly an amazing experience.
12:29
With gray?
🙃
I dont know if you had, but you should listen to the whole issues album
Watch queen of the damned, Jonathan Davis did/produced the entire sound track. And as gor Korn this album started the Nu-Metal revolution. Love Korn all there albums are great but there first 4 are listen all the way through albums.
Great sentiment Bridge the gap
because jon writes funny, i'll explain the meaning of each song (based on interviews & books) bc u seemed rlly curious!
PS, most the singing is jonathan, the singer, but the guitarists will sometikes do vocals, jon done the gibberish while head (geetar) said BALL TONGUEE
blind - not seeing how shitty a friend is (hence the line "next time i'll read through the lines")
ball tongue - it was just making fun of their old meth dealer, the lyrics for whatever jon's saying isnt rlly it, its supposed to be gibberish, but it does sound close. a "ball tongue" is just because their dealer used sm it looked like he had a ball on his tongue
need to - a relationship he needs out of, but he just cant get over the person
clown - pretty much; preps at school being mean. him getting bullied for being different
divine - im not 100% on this one so dont take my word on it! but, i think its him mocking his bullies who thought they were superior
f-t - about being called one so much, even though he wasnt, and just confused on why call him one?
shoots & ladders - pointing out how dark children nursery rhymes are
predictable - abt a fake friend doing the same patterns as other fake friends (as he had learned from the previous ones)
fake - i sure wonder. if you guessed being .. well, fake, youre correct
lies - straight from jon; "Lies picks on those who are too afraid to be themselves. People who hide behind a conformed society. 'I want you to see the life you have disguised' 'Do you ever see from outside your fears' I am pointing out those who fear they too will be laughed at if they step outside the line of individuality."
helmet in the bush - about them (the band) wanting to quit meth, but they just keep going back to it
daddy - ...i think it's obvious.
hope this cleared the sir for anybody who's curious :-)
i hope your using a amplifier or dac with your headphones! its a must for those! your mind will be blown.
I believe those were plugged into my scarlett solo 3 interface
We need a Mudvayne - LD 50 review please 🙏
