No, Jonathan. Sorry, dude..we weren't ready. This song BLEW our minds. No one sounded like this when this hit....it was completely new. This was like the first single from them to hit the radio...and we couldn't get enough.
For me this is the pinnacle Korn album. This album is still king after 30 years. The production and engineering are soooo good. The vibes, the riffs. Producer Ross Robinson knew exactly what he was doing on this record.
@@jody9721 I did get my eyebrow pierced and yes even wore adidas..lol I drank coors light when I did drink because they did. I was obsessed with korn!! They had a video that came out around the time of their first album and I watched it religiously!!! It was about them partying and making their records…idk I liked it.. lol
I went to school with Jon Davis. He stole the bagpipes from our highschool, Highland High School in Bakersfield,ca. He used to play them during our rallies and learned to play it in band class. Our mascot is the Scotsman.
Ill say it. I did NOT hang out with most groups because i was a diehard metalhead. In middle school i did but it was based on personality amd not the social group. In high school i ended up in a school full of rap and Caliente.... out of a 1000 students there were maybe 7 metalheads. I had the long hair, chain wallets, ripped up jeans or the jncos, black work boots and black leather biker jacket (which i still have to this day) i was shunned before i even knew anyone but remained who i was. A metalhead. Wasnt until this year i started exploring rap. Thank to yall.
Back in high school. I wore nothing but rock and roll t-shirts. And a lot of them were korn or tool t-shirts.😊😊 My nickname in high school was even kornbread. I'll be a kornhead forever. If you know you know.😊❤ I was a goth kid but I never really dressed Goth. I just wore spiked jewelry and spiked hair. And rock and roll t shirts
This is one of those songs that has aits own personal meaning for me. I have macular degeneratio, slow loss of central vision. It is often very frustrating to explain to people I can see but I can't. A lot of people who lose their vision will shut themselves in/out from people because they feel like a burden. The tension at the end of the song is perfect. You have to learn to drop it in an instant and go on with life because people don't want to hear about it.
We was 15 and my friends older brother came home from a Danzig concert that Manson and Korn had opened for them. He was like Holly shit dudes u gotta check out this fucking band. He had a cassette tape of the first Korn album. He played and when we heard this song our minds where blown I had never heard anything so badass!!
I saw them open for Ozzy when I was freshman in HS in like 94 and when they opened with this song I instantly fell in love with Korn. And yes I was that kids that had a Korn shirt for every day of the week, bought every album as soon as they came out.
Fun fact: Jonathan Davis played the drums for a few of the songs on Issues. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the first instrument he learned. There is also footage of him playing the bass to the queen of the damned song he wrote “System” while singing. Annnnd I’m pretty sure the acoustic guitar part for “Lullaby for a Sadist” was one of his riffs. JD is quite a multi instrumentalist, I’m sure there is more that he is fairly proficient in.
Whaaaaat lullaby for a sadist is my favorite song off that album and the fact that he did the opening acoustic part makes me love it even more It's the finer details 😩👌
Just wanted to say i just LOVE ur reactions. U are the most down to earth guys on the net for sure. The way u are loving music and talk about it is inspiring and dowright AWSOME!
I didn't have any specific group of people I hung out with in high school. It depended on the individual person. I was considered a goth/jock mix because I was in sports but listened to mostly metal 😂
The next song in this album that follows is 'Ball Tongue' is a very good song. You should react to it, as well as 'Clown' 'Faget' and 'Lies' those are some of the best songs in the album. Thank you for the amazing reaction to one of my 2 favorite bands. Hope to see more!
Over the years Jonathan Davis learned how to play several instruments, he wrote and recorded all the vocals and instruments on the album "remember who you are". Apparently he can play bag pipes, violin, upright bass, bass, drums, guitar, clarinet, piano and he is also a dj by the name JDevil. Also, the band name idea came from an inside joke. Long story short after many name suggestions they jokingly said to name the band corn after a guy whom they called that for fun, then out of frustration not finding a better name they sticked with it. Also the name was rejected when they wanted it to make offical, so they told the guy rejecting them, they either let them keep the name korn or it's going to be Larry, after him. He was convinced.
Up until this came out I was all over the place with what i listened to. I was in high school when this album hit. It really changed the way I listened to music. Korn and Alice in Chains were my gateway bands into heavier music.
Mornin guys! I LOVE korn! I thought i was driving my elderly woman neighbor crazy listening to korns greatest hits full blast. She came over and was all turn it up would ya! Loved it!!!!! Thats gonna be me! Heh heh ❤️🤓
This was a major in-your-face intro song to Korn for many I knew back when it came out, since it was the 1st track of album. Korn also bangs an amp HARD! They were the 1st band besides Tool that I enjoyed the bass to other than rap tunes. They were just so innovative & "new" to us, esp down here in the stix!!
This was the first song off of the album and how they used to open every show. It's so good. This is longer live and yes JD plays the bagpipes live too.
We were called Orbiters in school here. The people that went from Clique to Clique and could get along with them all. I was one myself. Blind is one of KoЯn's best and most popular songs🤘🏼🤌🏼🔥
First song that I heard was Shoots and Ladders, and have been hooked since then. Saw them in 2015, and couldn't wait for them to play it. Jonathan came out for the last song with the Bagpipes and I was in Heaven.
In Extremo - German rock band that used bagpipes on their songs, as well as wind and classical instruments. FYI - like Rammstein, their lyrics are in German.
Favorite Korn song. Just hits so hard. I hope you get to some early Chimaira. "Sp Lit" or "Dead Inside" would be good songs from their Nu Metal era. Dead Inside live at Farmclub would be cool.
You guys should check out their first demo which has a lot of these songs on it and others that are not. Neidermayer's Mind what's the name of it One of my favorite songs on there was called broken soul
I used to do this kinda "hipbang" on a stage as my reaction to this track! Headbanging with my neck while hipbanging with my core was often my integration of two or three time-signatures, developed primarily as a depiction of my interpretation of Tool songs
When this came out, it was like nothing we had heard before. Not all of us liked it(I did, I went and got the album straight away), but they were memorable. People knew who they were.
I'm 46 yo UK based. NKOTB and Take That were the bad boys of my school but my my later new adult years was all all about Korn, then LP. Such an amazing Time time and age to be alive at that age for music. Fiiiiire.
I was 15yo. I was on the phone with my friend Shannon when Riki Rachman debuted Blind on headbangers ball on mtv. Both of us were in shock. The next day we went and bought the album. Him on CD and me on cassette. Im 45yo now and still love this
I grew up in Bakersfield the "Big kids" and all their peers had rock and punk bands. Jonathen went to Highland high, who's masot were the Scots and a friend of mine was a teacher there who taught him tge bagpipes.
When I first met Korn at a show in Atlanta Georgia, they were playing at the underground.... this was before the got signed. I asked about the name and not sure if they were joking about it but asked me if I ever discovered "corn" in my poop.... and that was all that was said so.... 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘😎🤘
Want some bagpipes, try some of these: - It's A Long Way To The Top by AC/DC - You're The Voice by John Farnham - Shout by Tears For Fears Just naming a few 😊
This was the first release before their album came out. It was on a sample CD with the heavy metal magazine Revolver. Blind, Shoots and Ladders then the rest was a blur. On their name...you can check this against an interview J.Davis did with Steve O. Davis was at a party and there were two gay guys talking about how much they loved felching their lovers. One said his lover sht on his face and a piece of corn was on his tongue. So they used "corn" as an inside joke after that to gross those out that knew the story. Fast forward to Davis in the band and he told the story so when they choose the name they all thought corn was it. The producer or whoever it was told them they couldn't name the band "corn" so they said fine we'll call it Larry because we just don't care. He caved and Corn was born. Fieldy then told Jonathan to write it like a child would spell it with a backwards R so Jonathan grabbed a crayon and you get the iconic symbol it is today.
So there are 3 primary colors, right? Red, yellow and blue. The ‘opposite’ of each of these colors is the combination of the other two primary colors. So the opposite of red is green (yellow+blue), the opposite of yellow is purple (red+blue) and the opposite of blue is orange (red+yellow) Now you know 😊
I was old school metal and fucking loved this when it came out. Went to a concert dressed as metal chick with short dress and heels. I was on the floor smoking a joint with a friend and started really looking at the other fans. All boots and high top basketball shoes. I told my friend, we’ve got to get off the floor or die. Before we could move, we heard “ARE YOU READY”? It was wild. I’d never seen them even though this was my favorite CD and didn’t fully understand the “new” part of this bands metal. The mix of rap looks and sounds with metal was intoxicating.
When the first KoRn album dropped in 1994... no one cared... 'Blind' was the first track on the album and first video single... MTV put in on the air in 1995 and the record started to move - this was about 1 yr after Nirvana's Kurt Cobain took his own life... and both Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains disappeared from public view. At the time, the 90's grunge rock bands were selling in the million$ in 1995 (bands like Soundgarden, Bush, Silverchair, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.) and KoRn was this dark mix of 90's hip hop and down-tuned heavy rock... very different from what was happening w/ hip hop and country dominating the charts. In any case, MTV put a couple more video singles on the air ('Clown' ... 'Shoots & ladders') and the album eventually sold gold (half million copies) by 1996... KoRn's 2nd album 'Life is peachy' in 1996 sold gold faster than the 1st album, despite only 1 MTV single - 'A.D.I.D.A.S.' It wasn't until 3rd album 'Follow the leader' was released in 1998 when KoRn shot to #1 on the US charts and broke big on radio and MTV. I think the name KoRn was taken from the Stephen King story/ movie 'Children of the Corn' (KoRn did write a song later called 'Children of the Korn in 1998 w/ Ice Cube on the track)
@@Kelly30stm Someone else could be wrong 🤣🤣 In any case, we still don't know where ZZ Top got their name... It could've been a random pick, much like Kiss, Motley Crue, or Van Halen... It's subjective 😈
Korn is amazing live and yes he plays the bagpipes live on stage. He also plays guitar, drums, piano, clarinet, upright bass and violin. You guys need to react to "A Different World- Korn ft. Corey Taylor". I love that song! Edited to add: Any Nightmare Before Christmas fans need to listen to Korns version of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws".
My first Korn song was clown on 99 i was a bit late to the party bit been a fan since Then and for their name apparently someone Said Let's Call us Corn but with a k and backward R and Korn was born
7:36 I was the only person in my entire group of friends that listened to Korn. Everyone else listened to hip hop. But because I’m hilarious, they put up with it lol. They called everything I listened to, “suicide music” lol. But eventually some would drop their guard if it was myself and 1 or 2 friends in the car smoking some ish and yeah. I was born in ‘82 and found them right when HS started. I actually started listening to rap though when I was about 8. Up til April of ‘94 and Kurt Cobain was killed and my dad put some Nevermind on and I instantly stopped listening to rap music.
Your boy, near the end of the video asks/ says, "I wonder what they do next after this song". They do BALL TONGUE. Pull it up!!!.... with lyrics! (My personal favorite). Great reaction, Guys. 👊
The songs I believe has bagpipes in the songs are Shoots and Ladders, Lowrider, My Gift To You, Dead, Let's Do This Now, 10 or a 2-Way, Open Up, Liar, Seen It All, I Will Protect You, Bleeding Out and Spike In My Veins. In Lowrider Head is the one singing.
I don't know if he still does, but when I saw Korn back in 1999, they came back out on stage to do an encore of their cover of the song Earache My Eye. Fieldy came out and sang, their old drummer David came out playing bass and Jon played the drums.
I’m suprised you guys haven’t done this one yet, this was a MASSIVE song for them. It was the first one to get them super big. And this song is technically the very first studio Nu-Metal song ever released. And yes, Jonathan plays bagpipes, Jonathan can also play drums, guitar, bass, and the piano. The next song after Blind is titled Ball Tongue which does have scatting, Jonathan doesn’t do scatting or bagpipes too often because according to him, he wants to make it a special occasion. B.B.K is a great song with scatting. And Spike in my Veins is a more modern “dubstep” ish song with electronic bagpipes in it. Also, the reason Korn is named KoRn is because when Jon was at a party in high school, a couple of two guys were at a party, one of them started well…going number 2 into his boyfriends mouth, and there was a corn kernel on his tongue, which would go on to be an inside joke in his high school. No I’m not joking. Hope that answers some of ur guys’s questions.👍
This single completely birthed a scene and with an interaction with 99x Atlanta, it birthed...as Jon Davis would say...my koRn story. JD can play drums and guitar, he just plays for studio work and practice.
In 7th grade my buddy liked a metal girl and found out she liked Korn. We bought Follow the Leader and OMG!!! We became metal heads too hahahaha! I was the kid bumping Korn and Wu-Tang clan.
The original version of Blind was longer , and some different parts thrown in . If you can find it , it is really cool ! I cant remember the name of the album but it was demo songs I think before this first record came out and blew up !!! I first saw them with Danzig having no clue who they were but they won the crowd over !!!!
He plays the bagpipes live on stage. It's a shout out to Jonathan Davies' Scottish roots.
I live in Scotland and the first time they played here the crowd sang Flower of Scotland after Shoots and Ladders and Jonathan was openly weeping.
No, Jonathan. Sorry, dude..we weren't ready. This song BLEW our minds. No one sounded like this when this hit....it was completely new. This was like the first single from them to hit the radio...and we couldn't get enough.
For me this is the pinnacle Korn album. This album is still king after 30 years. The production and engineering are soooo good. The vibes, the riffs. Producer Ross Robinson knew exactly what he was doing on this record.
I fell in love with this whole album when I was 13 yrs old and it changed my whole perception on music!!!
Same.
Me too.
Yep. I wanted to get my eyebrow pierced and wear adidas 😂
@@jody9721 I did get my eyebrow pierced and yes even wore adidas..lol I drank coors light when I did drink because they did. I was obsessed with korn!! They had a video that came out around the time of their first album and I watched it religiously!!! It was about them partying and making their records…idk I liked it.. lol
@@AngelDawn1982You must be 43 since this came out in 93 and I was 13 when this came out. The video was "who then now" I had it on vhs 📼
I'm shocked when people don't know this song. SHOCKED.
I went to school with Jon Davis. He stole the bagpipes from our highschool, Highland High School in Bakersfield,ca. He used to play them during our rallies and learned to play it in band class. Our mascot is the Scotsman.
My first ever KoRn song. I never would have gotten into them if i never saw their woodstock performance of this song. Great video!
This album was the birth of the whole Nu Metal movement.
🤘❤️🇨🇦
Love this!!! Korn is definitely up there for me for some of my favorites!
One song I will totally recommend is “Did my Time”. Love that song!!
I came to suggest "Did My Time", arguably one of the best songs Korn has ever written and the music video is awesome too!
@@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHeadagreed!
Deep inside was also good on that album
@@firefly8471 yes!!
"Falling away from me" is also a good song. TBF that album was amazing 😂
Ill say it. I did NOT hang out with most groups because i was a diehard metalhead. In middle school i did but it was based on personality amd not the social group. In high school i ended up in a school full of rap and Caliente.... out of a 1000 students there were maybe 7 metalheads. I had the long hair, chain wallets, ripped up jeans or the jncos, black work boots and black leather biker jacket (which i still have to this day) i was shunned before i even knew anyone but remained who i was. A metalhead. Wasnt until this year i started exploring rap. Thank to yall.
Back in high school. I wore nothing but rock and roll t-shirts. And a lot of them were korn or tool t-shirts.😊😊 My nickname in high school was even kornbread. I'll be a kornhead forever. If you know you know.😊❤
I was a goth kid but I never really dressed Goth. I just wore spiked jewelry and spiked hair. And rock and roll t shirts
The little jam at the end is Lick a Shot from Cypress Hill.
The first Korn song I ever heard was "Shoots and Ladder", which I thought was a brilliant song!!! The last concert I went to was Korn in 2022...
I was introduced to Korn at the age of 40. Fantastic band. Spoke with Jonathan a few times, he is so down to earth.
Next song? That is Ball Tongue. One of the best songs ever to headbang to. Groovy as hell and wild as fuck.
Love that song
This is one of those songs that has aits own personal meaning for me. I have macular degeneratio, slow loss of central vision. It is often very frustrating to explain to people I can see but I can't. A lot of people who lose their vision will shut themselves in/out from people because they feel like a burden. The tension at the end of the song is perfect. You have to learn to drop it in an instant and go on with life because people don't want to hear about it.
The album cover always looked like a "last known photograph" to me.
It's a rare case where the low quality of the picture actually helps.
this album came out when I was a senior in high school, it was crazy at the time.
I'm wondering how I missed Korn back in the day!!! Thanks for the introduction - I LOVE THEM! Another great reaction, guys!
We was 15 and my friends older brother came home from a Danzig concert that Manson and Korn had opened for them. He was like Holly shit dudes u gotta check out this fucking band. He had a cassette tape of the first Korn album. He played and when we heard this song our minds where blown I had never heard anything so badass!!
On Follow the Leader theres a bagpipe song called "My Gift to You"
One of my most favourite Korn songs!!!! Thanks for reacting to this!!
I saw them open for Ozzy when I was freshman in HS in like 94 and when they opened with this song I instantly fell in love with Korn. And yes I was that kids that had a Korn shirt for every day of the week, bought every album as soon as they came out.
Fun fact: Jonathan Davis played the drums for a few of the songs on Issues. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the first instrument he learned.
There is also footage of him playing the bass to the queen of the damned song he wrote “System” while singing.
Annnnd I’m pretty sure the acoustic guitar part for “Lullaby for a Sadist” was one of his riffs.
JD is quite a multi instrumentalist, I’m sure there is more that he is fairly proficient in.
He was also the voice of Lastat in the songs on Queen of The Damned
Whaaaaat lullaby for a sadist is my favorite song off that album and the fact that he did the opening acoustic part makes me love it even more
It's the finer details 😩👌
Just wanted to say i just LOVE ur reactions. U are the most down to earth guys on the net for sure. The way u are loving music and talk about it is inspiring and dowright AWSOME!
I didn't have any specific group of people I hung out with in high school. It depended on the individual person. I was considered a goth/jock mix because I was in sports but listened to mostly metal 😂

This is Xmas? Nu-Metal anthem. They open every show with it and it's epic every time
And that day nu-metal was born👊Are youu reeaddyyy!!!!

In Extremo - German rock band that used bagpipes on their songs, as well as wind and classical instruments. FYI - like Rammstein, their lyrics are in German.
I LOOOOOVE this album! Great choice!!!! Like you said.....I'm a rap head but KORN is a different type of metal!
Favorite Korn song. Just hits so hard.
I hope you get to some early Chimaira. "Sp Lit" or "Dead Inside" would be good songs from their Nu Metal era. Dead Inside live at Farmclub would be cool.
And I plan to suggest Chimaira every Nu Metal Monday FYI
That bass hits good on some amped up 12's in car driving down the road
THIS is the song that got me into harder music. I was 12-13 when I first heard it on a compilation cassette of some kind, does anyone remember that?
You guys should check out their first demo which has a lot of these songs on it and others that are not. Neidermayer's Mind what's the name of it One of my favorite songs on there was called broken soul
That being said the same producer that produced their first couple albums produced the demo as well
Back in the mid nineties in NY, they called us Dirt Rockers lol

Korn blind live at Woodstock 1999. Gotta watch it. Best version ever.
They already reacted to it last year.
When this came out, it was like nothing we had heard before. Not all of us liked it(I did, I went and got the album straight away), but they were memorable. People knew who they were.
More KoRn from this album please!!!
I watched him rise from the stage playing bag pipes to start the concert shoots and ladders. This was at Toronto. He plays very well
I'm 46 yo UK based. NKOTB and Take That were the bad boys of my school but my my later new adult years was all all about Korn, then LP. Such an amazing Time time and age to be alive at that age for music. Fiiiiire.

My favorite song from Korn is Adidas 👌🏻
Love from Germany❤🔥🤘🏻
Metal and rap are my 2 favorite genres of music. Honorable mentions is SOME country and definitely Reggae.
Korn Daddy if you really want to go down the dark rabbit hole on this album.
Caught this video on a Beavis and Butthead episode back in the day and it changed my life. I had a new obsession.
I grew up in Bakersfield the "Big kids" and all their peers had rock and punk bands. Jonathen went to Highland high, who's masot were the Scots and a friend of mine was a teacher there who taught him tge bagpipes.
I discovered a brand new sound with this song back in 1994
I once heard that Jonathan only listens to hip-hop in his private life, I don't know if there's anything to that, but I can imagine that
Davis played the bagpipes when I saw Korn in Family Values 1
I knew the answer to the color wheel question. Because I had to study all that stuff when I was doing my college photography classes.😊
When I first met Korn at a show in Atlanta Georgia, they were playing at the underground.... this was before the got signed. I asked about the name and not sure if they were joking about it but asked me if I ever discovered "corn" in my poop.... and that was all that was said so.... 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘😎🤘
You reacted to this last year lol.. the live version. . From Woodstock 99. Both versions are 🔥 🔥🔥😎👍
Want some bagpipes, try some of these:
- It's A Long Way To The Top by AC/DC
- You're The Voice by John Farnham
- Shout by Tears For Fears
Just naming a few 😊
Appreciate rappers react!!! Yall got some dope vibes
This is the second album I ever purchased. It's still in my top 5 for road trips.
This was the first release before their album came out. It was on a sample CD with the heavy metal magazine Revolver. Blind, Shoots and Ladders then the rest was a blur.

This one is correct, this is how they got their name. 😂
Seen them twice live in the early 2000’s in England - superb
You guys have seen the Woodstock version of this one, theres a reaction of it on the channel.
I totally agree with you!
Their song "Sean Olsen" is still my all time fave song they did.
So there are 3 primary colors, right? Red, yellow and blue. The ‘opposite’ of each of these colors is the combination of the other two primary colors. So the opposite of red is green (yellow+blue), the opposite of yellow is purple (red+blue) and the opposite of blue is orange (red+yellow)

All Goths needing you to listen to "Cry Little Sister" is some of the realest shiz you've ever said!
Korn is amazing live and yes he plays the bagpipes live on stage. He also plays guitar, drums, piano, clarinet, upright bass and violin. You guys need to react to "A Different World- Korn ft. Corey Taylor". I love that song!
Edited to add: Any Nightmare Before Christmas fans need to listen to Korns version of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws".
Korn prophesied that the album Iowa would come out, so they named themselves Korn
My first Korn song was clown on 99 i was a bit late to the party bit been a fan since Then and for their name apparently someone Said Let's Call us Corn but with a k and backward R and Korn was born
7:36 I was the only person in my entire group of friends that listened to Korn. Everyone else listened to hip hop. But because I’m hilarious, they put up with it lol. They called everything I listened to, “suicide music” lol. But eventually some would drop their guard if it was myself and 1 or 2 friends in the car smoking some ish and yeah. I was born in ‘82 and found them right when HS started. I actually started listening to rap though when I was about 8. Up til April of ‘94 and Kurt Cobain was killed and my dad put some Nevermind on and I instantly stopped listening to rap music.
Genre short lived but so many influential bands and songs in that genre
He can play bagpipes and violin. He learned how to play violin from the guy in his solo project who plays violin.
"Korn - somebody someone" next! One of their best song
My Gift to You by Korn has bagpipes intro
From the movie... Children of the Korn...
If I remember correctly, Jonathan Davis plays the drums on earache my eye.
Your boy, near the end of the video asks/ says, "I wonder what they do next after this song". They do BALL TONGUE. Pull it up!!!.... with lyrics! (My personal favorite). Great reaction, Guys. 👊
Takes me back to 6th grade. Makes me want to jump and headbang all over the house.
The songs I believe has bagpipes in the songs are Shoots and Ladders, Lowrider, My Gift To You, Dead, Let's Do This Now, 10 or a 2-Way, Open Up, Liar, Seen It All, I Will Protect You, Bleeding Out and Spike In My Veins. In Lowrider Head is the one singing.
I don't know if he still does, but when I saw Korn back in 1999, they came back out on stage to do an encore of their cover of the song Earache My Eye. Fieldy came out and sang, their old drummer David came out playing bass and Jon played the drums.
This takes me back to life in the mid to late 90's.
"Who's to blame" by Sacred Reich
listen to the historical relevance in the song
All that stuff is EVIL
Ozzy, Judas Priest
There's backwards messages in that stuff
THAT LEAD YOU TO THE BEAST
I’m suprised you guys haven’t done this one yet, this was a MASSIVE song for them. It was the first one to get them super big. And this song is technically the very first studio Nu-Metal song ever released. And yes, Jonathan plays bagpipes, Jonathan can also play drums, guitar, bass, and the piano. The next song after Blind is titled Ball Tongue which does have scatting, Jonathan doesn’t do scatting or bagpipes too often because according to him, he wants to make it a special occasion. B.B.K is a great song with scatting. And Spike in my Veins is a more modern “dubstep” ish song with electronic bagpipes in it. Also, the reason Korn is named KoRn is because when Jon was at a party in high school, a couple of two guys were at a party, one of them started well…going number 2 into his boyfriends mouth, and there was a corn kernel on his tongue, which would go on to be an inside joke in his high school. No I’m not joking. Hope that answers some of ur guys’s questions.👍
This single completely birthed a scene and with an interaction with 99x Atlanta, it birthed...as Jon Davis would say...my koRn story. JD can play drums and guitar, he just plays for studio work and practice.
See, that's how it was in my high school; the goths/punks/skater/emo/metal kids were all just bunched together under the lable "freaks."
The best nu metal song ever
There's a live version with Joey on drums.
Watch their home video.. KORN "WHO THEN NOW"
Look for "shoots and ladders" live....he plays the bagpipes in the beginning
In 7th grade my buddy liked a metal girl and found out she liked Korn. We bought Follow the Leader and OMG!!! We became metal heads too hahahaha! I was the kid bumping Korn and Wu-Tang clan.
The original version of Blind was longer , and some different parts thrown in . If you can find it , it is really cool ! I cant remember the name of the album but it was demo songs I think before this first record came out and blew up !!! I first saw them with Danzig having no clue who they were but they won the crowd over !!!!
