What’s your favourite track on ‘Requiem’?
The Requiem.
Hopeless and Beaten and Worst is on Its Way, I would say Start the Healing is the one I like the less, too poppy for me, instead of choosing a favourite one. HAB is just poetry and WIOIW almost killed the rest of the album for me, it's everything Bleeding Out didn't achieve in terms of groove, maybe too short but incredibly well executed.

*LOST IN THE GRANDEUR!*
🤘🐲🤘
BOW DOOOWN
Jonathan sounds great. I don't know if I've ever heard him sound so lucid, relaxed, and composed. Happy to see it.
Xanax helps
The Nothing came out right after my mother died and my life fell apart & now this album is helping me put it back together.
Wish you all the best with that
@@Drumzilladude thank you ✨
Serenity of Suffering came out a month before my mom passed. That album helped me tremendously.
@@DarkKent234 💖 I love that one too.
You got this!
Please do more records this way, relaxed and with no pressure.
uhhhh fck no
@@metalmike6668 agree!
Exactly, you can hear they took their time. Great quality songs that didn’t sound forced
Untouchables is still my favorite album of all time. I still listen to it at least once a week.
Yes, sir.
That album encapsulates the KoRn sound better than anything else.
Same with the clear and inspired vocals.
I always enjoy meeting other korn fans who think Untouchables is their opus. True fans.
I grew to appreciate it so much more than I did when it was new. I knew it was great but to the level of appreciation I have for it now
Untouchables was my favorite album when it first came out and to this day it still is my favorite album. I still listen to the whole album start to finish constantly. Truly a masterpiece.
One of the most down to earth, honest and humble superstars in all of rockdom \m/
Great interview and very cool to see Jonathan happy and in his element ~;^)
Absolutely
this guy had a journey of growth behind him. Amazing man
Perfectly said!
For how truly groundbreaking and talented , emotionally intelligent and real the music was/is.... I'm so happy Jonathan is truly a beautiful soul.
14th album. It’s just insane. One of the hardest working band out there.
Let’s hope Korn do an untouchables tour, that would be epic!
20th anniversary
They did a tour in 2022 that I went to and they played a re-worked version of Alone I Break, it was amazing. IDC much for the studio version of AIB for some reason, but the re-worked version they played live had more distorted guitars and sounded much better!
Korn is amazing, there is a reason they are still around. They are a center piece of my one tattoo as these guys have been with me through dark times and even now their music resonates with me. I pray there is more to come. Than you korn for being #1
Lovely to see Mr Davis so blatantly happy. 😀
Love the guy. Jonathan is such a cool person with so much talent. His voice is so unique. And the melody.
The new album is so amazing 👏 love it. I'm so appreciated for it. Thanks
I became a fan when Untouchables came out and quickly binged everything b4 it. Korn is definitely on my Mt Rushmore of music. Not just Metal or Nu-Metal. Love every member, but especially JD! ❤️🔥
For me it was the Freak On A Leash music video. After that, it was all over. LOL
My two favorite members are James and Brian. They inspired me to start playing guitar back in the late 90s.
Untouchables is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I have owned a few copies of that album through the years. Incredible album, especially the songs One More Time, Embrace, Hating, and No Ones There.
I listened to the new album 3 times in a row early this morning on a bus to work and the obvious choice for me was "hopeless and beaten" man it kicked my ASS. That choirs was deeper then hell. "Help me this thing is feeding" that freaked me out so much....so amazing. The tune, the intent from the lyrics. they all hit the way I wanted them to. Brilliant stuff. I love the entire album but that one song really had my attention. I almost ......nah I cant do that on public transport lol
Jonathan looks so happy. That brings me a lot of joy.
Got no sleep last night. Was bout to go to sleep and this dropped, listened to it front to back 5 times already and I love every track.
i cant wait to not sleep tonight!
I'm with you 100%
Amazing interview! Thank you so much for interviewing, Jonathan. He's one of the nicest guys in rock n roll.
Man JD seems so happy.
Jonathan Davis is one of my childhood heroes. Thank you sir for keeping it up!
So good to see him cheesing!! He has a gorgeous smile!! ♥️✌🏻
I am SO glad Jonathan is in a better place in his life, I teared up a little when he said that.
I think these last 3 albums act as a loose trilogy. Not narratively at all, but they’re just three different albums with different moods that still maintain a great sound throughout. Keep up the great work guys 🙌🏻
What a guy 🔥
LOVE the Untouchables album, my go-to for testing a stereo or anything
Hey man, I think Jonathan Davis was referring to you in a recent interview about people testing their stereo with that album. Pretty cool
I first seen korn in 94 them and Marilyn Manson opened up for Danzig and ever since then I've been a fan I've seen them live 14 times now and still going
I saw them on that tour too
EXCELLENT interviewer. Polished and knowledgeable, but completely likeable and endearing.
KORN does do everything BIG ther concerts have been the best I've ever been too best nights of my life
Take ur time JD, don't over do it okay hun. I'd love ur music n' also I'm ur age I'll be 51 on February 18, 2022. I love KORN!!!
What a legend! Korn music will always be special to me. Always helps me when I'm in a dark place 🖤
I hope I could meet John on the tour he seems like a really great person
Nice to see JD happy
I listen to Korn 24/7
-Florida ☀️🌴
Nice interview. Always good to see a new KoRn related interview. :)
I think untouchables is their best album. It’s always been my favorite. Then issues.
Ive notice when the whole band is together in studio they make gold pressed platinum this album has suchhhhh an old school sound that we miss sooooo mich and the lyrics i swear soundtrack to my life rn no bs
Release those board mixes of Untouchables for an anniversary edition man 😎
So good being a KoRn fan. 🖤
I love untouchables album and I wish we could hear more albums like that man I
Brother Jonathan, this is your best work and I salute you.
thanks god Jonathan is feeling much more better atm) hes so strong man to get through all the shit he had. a man i proud of, since my childhood. ty Jonathan for music u made, which carried me through all my life. i lived all good and bad things with u, u re not alone!
yesterday was watching Queen of the Damned on TV, u did all that music, u re genious one)
I love u JD,,,,I love the new album,,
Killer band I thank my friend Terry of me getting to know this amazing band Jonathan is very cool indeed
Love hearing Johnathan here. Also love hopeless and beaten too it's a massive stand out song for me wow it ripped me up.
Such an under rated musician. The new album is outstanding
I'm a big Korn fan but they're not underrated haha. When you're selling out shows most of your life, and your name is known worldwide, you definitely aren't underrated. There are many talented artists who barely receive any recognition in their lifetimes.
Nah, if anything Korn is over-exposed as a band (and as a hardcore fan myself, I say that in the NICEST way possible) But I honestly don't think Korn should be as popular as they are...what I'm saying is, Korn as a band is a household name, in other words people who don't even listen to this style of music know exactly who they are for the most part. I think Korn should be a band that appeals to serious fans of music and their hardcore fans, but I don't think they should be a household name like they are.
He sat there, responded and behaved genuinely.
I haven't heard the full album but songs that are our are fantastic!
best band in the world
I died on sept 13th 2019 and was revived. Kinda crazy the nothing came out then. Woke up, with literally no memory of how I got where I was, which was medics over me giving me cpr or whatever. And then being transported to the hospital. So the nothing holds a special place in my heart for me
Loved the interview and I love the album as well !
Them pictures on the wall in the background is amazing...full of different history and artist from korn 2 slipknot
JONATHAN DAVIS SO AWESOME ROCK SOUND !!!
Great interview! I’ve been a Korn listener since 1994 🤘
I WANT THE RAW BOARD MIXES OF UNTOUCHABLES! HOY SHIT!
@@Grace-dn3sg i did
@@Grace-dn3sg he mentions them in the video - its the reason i said something.
@@Grace-dn3sg having a bad day?
@@AhsanKhan-eo8dv no im having a pretty good day, how about you?
@@Grace-dn3sg aww did your baby sitter touch you?
Thanks for these interviews!
Went to the L.A. show last night! KILLER!!
I’m an old fan that got to see em BEFORE they released there 1st record….93 I believe, in Long Beach
i’m so glad he found Bee, she really helped him. he’s so happy again and so down to earth and i’m so glad he’s doing good
I've been listening to Untouchable a lot lately. I think Hating and One More Time are my favorites on that album.
Been listening to KoRN since day one and this album has so much feeling in it, it comes through all the songs, I could tell right away without even hearing any interviews that it's special!✌️
Funking awesome interview and my god so many years korn is on the roud , korn is amazing underground band always. Always overcome.
Love this vid thx
Wonderful interview. Love this.
Legend
Hell yeah✌🏾 🤘🏾
The concert was amazing my kids were so happy and were rocking out we love u JD!!
I luv you Jon!! I’m proud to say I hit the 500th like for this video. Great album like usual guys!! Rock on!!¡
Thank you for this post, love Korn love new album, its perfect for our time now
This interview was awesome, all the right questions!
🤘❤🤘🙏 This is amazing
Love the record man, something to be proud of for sure
Slamming album!! Great job.
John you signed my brass pipe “ HIV “ in Boston 95
Sugar Ray opened. I drank Rolling Rocks with David after.
I remember he had to ask the tour manager for money. He bought me 3 beers
You rock bro
OMFG, these guys are like gods to me, they´ve been soundtracking pretty much my whole life since i was 18 (maybe this interviewer wasn´t even born yet i was already headbanging with their incredible music), i´m almost 45 now and still listen to them all the time, always waiting for new amazing music from them and they never dissapoint!
Saw them live in Barcelona in 2018 for the 1st time in my life and really was something that i´ll never forget, hope they come back again, we miss them already!
If i had time and funds, i´d follow them through the whole european tour without a doubt!
What a cool glimpse into how the lyrics are created.
Perfection 😊😊😊
My favorite rock band of all time. 🤟🏽They were the first of many bands I've heard. I've been hooked since my friend gave me the “Issues” cassette album in 1998-99. I love these guys!
Seen them in Kansas city. Love to see them back on the road . Can't wait to see them again
This guys is a great interviewer
Def digging the new album!
Great album
🤘🏼 KoRn 🤘🏼
My love😍
"might go crazy heavy on the next one" - yes please Jonathan
I love you 💜
Requiem should be named Masterpiece man is amazing
🖤
Requiem is awesome album
Congratz on new album :)
Requiem is their best record in a long time.
Its heavy but melodic. I love the cleaner vocals and the lyrics are great.
I hope they explore more of what this current feel has to offer.
Bruh the nothing and serenity of suffering were masterpieces
This one was actually better than the nothing for me. I was expecting the other way around. Sos is still my favorite though, but in no way do they sound like they're running out of ideas
@@dannyboswell7188 For real. Those 2 albums are up there with Issues and Untouchables, if you ask me.
❤❤❤
I love the new KORN record requiem it's awesome
🔥💜🤘
Eu amo esse homem, Jonathan Davis Ilove you. My cat, MY love. ❤
Fell in love with Korn back in early 2000's Take look to the mirrow was their last good album, after Silveria left it sucked and didn't listen albums since 2006,still listen their first 5 albums😊
Original KoRn fan here - Got introduced to them thr week ISSUES came out. Funny thing is I hated it, but that's becauae i had already listened to their first album no joke probably 50 + times in the 5 days it was introduced to me. Issues was such a different sound and at rhe time i had ALOT of rage inside me being a teenager that was bullied alot. The ironic thing is that ISSUES became my favorite album to date.
TALITM was a massive letdown for me. For how "heavy" it was, it sounded muted to me and piece-mealed together. I hated it and its my least listened to album of theirs. For me, it is the only album that i felt did not have atleast ONE "ah-ha!! Now THAT'S KoRn!!" track.
And then along came REQUIEM and i now put this album in the negative KORN file of mine.
It ls not good.
I dont know how they keep missing key opportunities to add flare and excitement to their albums, but they keep missing it.
The only good and worthwhile track IMO is LOST IN THE GRANDEUR. That would be the perfect KoRn song IF JD didnt mute his voice when he goes off after the third verse and screams MOTHERFUCKER. Its too muted. Like come on JD you're not gonna kill your vocal chords ONE time to really give us the anger and emotion like you used to in the 90s and 2000s.
Anyway, i disagree TALITM being their last good one.
The Nothing was pretty good.
BUT IMO their last real KoRn sounding album was KoRn III REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE and that's because they had Ross Robinson producing it, who as you know producrd their first album.
yeah... i ve heard self titled first then life is peachy,,few FtL songs but then found Issues and that album was definitly and still is the best for me ;) keep it uo bro
Untouchables is my favorite album. But let the dark do the rest that's a really good killer song ❤
If only they could make another album like Untouchables. That album is fantastic from start to finish.
I doubt they could without Fieldy and David in the mix, those two work together so well and are both under-appreciated. Without those 2 we will never get another Untouchables.
Well done, dude. Would love to score a chat with JD. Cheers from Buffalo, NY!
The whole album plays in tune with their very 1st to last. I got the whole message just wonder if anyone else has?
Esse cara é fodaa
I hope they do a special tour show for untouchables anniversary
LuL, Right. That's Deep & Inspirational, AMAZING >. < For Metal Head Enthusiasts Who've Never Heard of JNCo, Re-Defining Everything As We Speak. Rock On \m/
