    “Ring around the Rosies” refers to the red rings that started to develop on plague victim's skin. These red rashes, that were circular, would later develop into large, and very painful black boils on the skin. “Pockets Full of Posies” stems from the lack of knowledge at the time about how diseases spread. It was believed that disease was spread through bad smells, which means that people held bunches of flowers to their faces when going out in public, to protect themselves from bad smells. "Ashes, Ashes” it’s actually about the burning of the dead bodies from the victims of the plague. “We all fall down” is about the many people who died from the plague. The falling down is said to represent death, and everyone “falls down” or dies, because the majority of the European population was wiped out during the time of the plague.

      Deftones also had more of a progressive rock influence as well. Similar to Mudvayne though they were way heavier than Deftones and rather than 60% Nu Metal, 20% Hard Rocker, and 20% Progressive Rock - like the Deftones were, Mudvayne was more 60% Progressive Metal, 30% Alternative Metal, 10% Nu Metal. Those two and Korn were really the three cornerstones of that scene in the late 90's to mid 2000's.

      Can confirm. I was 15 or 16 when this hit the air and that switch to Mary Had a Little Lamb blew our minds! There's a lot of vocals on that album where Jon is just being some kinda wild crazy man (a little like Mike Patton). So much amazing alternative stuff came out in '94, but these guys had something really unique. IIRC the guitarists, Munky and Head, did some unusual tuning on 7-string guitars which had them really stand out from everything else.

    One fun thing about this song is that it makes absolutely NO SENSE if you didn't grow up with those particular nursery rhymes. Being Swedish, I grew up with a completely different set of nursery rhymes, so this song was always just...so odd. Hahahaha.
    As for the next song by Korn, I can recommend Blind. Especially the live performance at Rock Am Ring 2007. I think you've only reacted to studio album versions of Korn songs, right? It's high time to introduce you to their live performances. They are crazy. Blind was the first song on their debut album, and it *really* set the tone for them. Can't be a better song to introduce yourself to the world with.
    Bonus: that performance features Joey Jordison on drums.

  • @Zapafaz
    @Zapafaz 2 роки тому +16

    I'm here to recommend two of Korn's biggest influences again, as per the Wikipedia article on Korn: Mr. Bungle and Faith No More. Both have the same singer - Mike Patton - though Faith No More had a different singer for their 1985 and 1987 albums. For Mr. Bungle, their self-titled album (1991) is the most relevant for influence, though fair warning: it is weird. Check out 'Carousel', 'Egg' (stop at ~7min 30s if you want, the rest is a recording of them talking on a train...) and 'Quote Unquote' - formerly known as 'Travolta'.
    With Faith No More, it depends: The Real Thing (1989) is the album that got popular, with 'Epic' getting loads of play to the point that some people call the band a one hit wonder; 'Falling To Pieces' and 'Surprise! You're Dead' are also fantastic. I'd argue Angel Dust (1992), their subsequent release, is more influential and just all around a better album. My favorite tracks from that one are probably 'A Small Victory', 'Midlife Crisis', and... I'm gonna censor the title: 'J***lobber', but it's really hard to single out tracks since the entire thing is absolutely killer. Finally, if you want more Mr. Bungle, California (1999) is consistently incredible; start with 'Retrovertigo', then maybe 'Goodbye Sober Day' and 'The Air-conditioned Nightmare', then... the rest of the album.

And so was his childhood so I get it. Knick knack Paddy Whack is very disturbing given what he went through. (I'd say think about it but really you can't unthink it so don't) The power of Korn I'd that they convey so much raw emotion, so much of it ugly.

    I'm from small town western Kansas. I remember when I was 16 in 1999. Two buddies of mine and I were cruising around town in the summer time, blaring rock and metal music from the car with the windows down. We were sitting at a stop light when this song came on. The poor person next to us wasn't ready. Little ole lady from a much more conservative time. First, there was confusion as she heard bagpipes coming from the car next to her. Then, even more confusion to see these bagpipes were being enjoyed by 3 teenage boys dressed all in black, baseball caps sporting different band logos, and deeply black wrap around sunglasses like the little edge lords we thought we were. That confusion turned into abject terror when the guitars and drums kicked in, and we started nodding our in head unison to the beat all while looking right at her. I've never watched a little old lady drive so fast in my life when the light turned green. We were just jamming and meant no harm.

    The guitar tone Korn puts out with just a single note just blows me away. There's absolutely nothing/nobody like it. "Need to" with that haunting initial note is still one of my favourite Korn songs, and guitar riffs of all time - and the song never gets any love.

    Hi Aileen. I noticed you've been listening to bands with dark themes . One if the first bands to bring a sense of darkness, drama is the Doors. Try "The end" from the doors. Very hypnotic and dynamic. There will never be another front man like Jim Morrison.

    I saw KoRn (and Deftones) open for Ozzy just before their first album official release.
    I think Blind was the first song they played and Shoots and Ladders was mid-set. They shut the lights off and there was silence and we thought the set was already over. Then you just hear the bagpipes, and finally a spotlight hits Jonathan walking in front of the stage by security. And in the crowd, everyone is like “wtf is this?!” and when the drums hit and the song fully starts we were all mesmerized and head bobbing to the beat. And even though we haven’t heard the song before we could all sing along.

    This is by far KoRn's greatest album ever and a top 10 in my personal list of albums. I bought it in 1994 and was lucky to get Jonathan, Munky, Head, and Fieldy to autograph the album cover in person in '95 at a signing a day before the first time I saw them live.

    This was my first Korn song I ever heard, it changed my perspective on what a "nu" sound of heavy music could be. This album influenced rock and metal music for a good 10 years. I saw them last September at Louder Than Life festival and Jonathan sounded ( and looked) better than he has in a long time. I guess he is sober. I uploaded a "highlights" video of the festival performances, check it out and you can see what I mean.

Everyone jumping in unison was INSANE....I would totally watch you react to the whole hour performance that is how good that show was

Every so often I would have to get it taken out of braids and redone. So at that party a girl I knew was doing so. And while she was re-braiding my hair this song came on. I started grooving to it, but she said, “No, that song is scary!”

    Without me getting too deep into it, the song was intended to paint a dark picture. I wouldn't go deep and say it forms you from childhood although it may very well do so. I think the intent was that most of these nursery rhymes ARE dark and their origins are usually not as sweet and simple as when they're introduced to us.

    “Ring around a rosie” was the red circular rash that developed on those with the plaque.

    “Achoo - achoo, we all fall down” sneezing, coughing, collapse and die.
