People arguing about whether he is good or not just miss the point. He helped Korn have THEIR sound. That bass tone and style is so important to their music. Its not about being a good or bad player, its about contributing to the song.
without his sound korn would have maybe skipped on a lot of the success say had end of the 90s. There are samples where they had versions play live without that kind of bass and it was just not the same.
Yeah it doesn't really matter if he is a great bass guitar player, which I think he is and one of the more innovative ones at that, but he contributed to an iconic sound. Same shit they used to give Munky and Head. Those riffs changed the game in Metal. Same thing with Fieldys bass.
You don't have to be the best at anything to be in a band. You just have to serve the band and Music. I hear a lot of criticism about his playing. But his clicky, percussive style fits and makes korn stand out.
I don't see why people criticize the sound. If you actually pick it apart, it's quite interesting. Turning the mids down to cradle the guitars and Jonathan's voice is pretty epic.
Because the guitars are tuned so low, they interfere with his bass note frequency. So to differentiate from the guitars, he went more percussion with the bass.
Mark King from Level 42 is the father of bass percussive style... Claypool and Trujillo came after... and Fieldy as well Ryan Martinie took it one step further...
i love fieldy's unique bass playing. the whole band is great they hold a special place in my heart after getting through addiction and depression in high school.
Seriously one of the most underrated bassists in metal music. He’s definitely largely responsible for contributing to that sound Korn has that is so unique. Him along with head and munky really couldn’t have happened in another band.
HAHAHAHAHAHA HE DID IT AGAIN! He makes the same mistake on his Behind The Player DVD and that came out YEARS ago. Plus in the DVD he says its a pull off on the A sharp to an Open A. Here it's reversed. I get that sometimes musicians will change things up live but for the sake on teaching can you maintain some consistency please?
Nah, it's that he doesn't understand what he's doing. He plays these bass lines on an instinctual level. It's like if someone asked you to explain how to swallow food. You just do it, there isn't any real though involved.
anyone who uses that as an excuse is a shit tier musician. hes been playing long enough that altering the tempo should have no effect on his playing. you need to understand, this guy dosent WRITE music. he stands there and slaps an open B non stop because nobody can tell what hes playing to begin with.
I think we can all agree that there are better bass players out there than Fieldy. But no one does it quite like he does.....NO ONE!!! It's such a distinct and unmistakable sound and style. It's incredibly fun to watch and listen to
I loved this guys playing as a kid. Decades later after studying music I find his all the more fantastic. Great rhythmic sense, smart use of ghost notes, and a style that serves the band very well.
I always thought of Fieldy, almost more like a second Percussionist for Korn. Love him or hate him, he's definitely doing his own thing, and you gotta respect that :)
As a musician myself I agree with you. There's a funny clip here on TH-cam with George Lynch on Dave Navarro's show (years back). Dave is trying to learn Mr. Scary and George isn't even sure what his right hand is doing on the rhythm part until Dave points it out. Funny as hell.
Christian - Sorry, I'm not sure about the name of Dave's show. It was pretty short-lived. I want to say it was "Spread TV" or something like that? If you search "Dave Navarro George Lynch" it should pop up at the top. It's a pretty cool episode and worth a watch of you're a player.
as a musician myself, playing it is 1 thing when things come so naturally. having to break it down for the next person to understand is a skill on its own which most of these guys dont ever have to do.
What kills me about Fieldy is that he's dedicated so much time to being great at slap, but plays it in such a way that the notes are always almost entirely indistinguishable.
@@torben_vp I saw Korn live once at a festival and he slaps so goddamn hard on low open strings that that had to turn him down to the point of everything else basically being inaudible.
I don’t think he’s ever claimed to be a great bassists tho and in a world full of wna be Fleas, it’s nice to have Fieldys there to say yea that’s great and all but I’m here to sell records
@@byah160 stereo upgrade , it's there , it took me awhile , like hed's earlier albums eqed semi normally sound weak as hell but I got pissed and fucked my EQ up one day and my ears changed what they were looking for
His facial expression of complete *the hell am I trying to do again?* when he attempts to play it slow at 1:49 after saying "it's really easy" killed me.
I always thought Fieldy wasn’t all that great of a bass player, but he has such a unique style in the way he plays that actually makes him a badass bassist lol
Me too! I know nothing about how to play bass or what's considered technically "correct" mind you. I just love how slap bass sounds. I've always loved Les Claypool (Primus), too.
In my option he revolutionized the bass playing. Korn is the only band with that distinctive sounding bass to their songs. Very unique. Great job and I’m glad I got to see you guys live in West Palm Beach last week 🤘🏼
I love when ray just starts playing after eating just instinct I love when you can just get into a good rhythm weather you've played it a million times r
Fieldy gets a lot of flak, but his style is perfect for Korn, and sounds great. He's certainly not the greatest bass player (this video really makes that clear haha) but he has a unique sound that fits perfectly into the music he makes, so what does that matter?
@@Owen-ne6pe Are-you-deaf? Name me 3....just three funk slap snap crackle pop jams that this goofball idiot junkie is on par with. Serious guy, are you deaf? Do you own an instrument?

Also a lot of nu-metal bands came out after Korn and while they sounded awesome too, they were missing Fieldy style slap bass that added juuuust that lil extra bit of percussion and heaviness that solidified Korn's sound.
This is one of my favorite songs of theirs actually. Funny I was singing it and my phone suggests this 8 year old video to me proving yes we are always being watched and listened to.
Not big fan of Korn, just like them, but I am embarrassed to say that today (2021) realized seeing this that that particular sound I thought it was the battery it’s actually the damn bass, this dude rocks! I will now start appreciating more Korn music, gotta go back in time since their first album!
I was thinking the same. I'm a huge Korn fan but every time they get Davis on an interview always have this dark aura, even when he's making jokes or talking frivolous stuff. Fieldy is always chill and bright about everything.
I love fieldy's clicks tone I myself am a percussion bassist so I play a lot of heavy groovy slap like fieldys himself lol I also play in the same tuning as him and love the low sound I prefer it over using I hat using mid to me it ruins a bad but that's just my opinion fieldys tone is so unique because you don't see many bassist bringing a new style of bass into this world anymore I don't any band that has his clicky tone
fields does suck. sorry. there's thousand of more talented musicians that will never receive recognition but it's whatever. I loved Korn when I was young but as you grow up and mature you begin to realize that lack of skill.
I think it solely has to do with the way it was recorded. I mean, it was direct to camera audio recording. If they used mics on the amp and then used that sample and sinc it with the video like most musicians do on YT, then it would not sound horrible as a lot of people rant about. Being able to play an instrument is way different from being a sound engineer.
@user-cw2pb9zf8j well when it comes to bass community they are not so appreciated. Many people who already are fans of numetal yes. But I had plenty of bass instructors tell me other wise...
Wrong. Fieldy is a legend because KoRn is a legend. Joke about him all you like, the fact is he is a real bass player and suggesting otherwise is just a logical fallacy. I've tried my hand at the bass, and don't progress often or get to practice much. I know what a non-bassist is like - me. I'm nowhere near Fieldy. If your joke is only consistent when applied to a specific group (in this case your "music circles"), then it's not always true. It's only true in your limited context, in which you heckle and sneer down your nose at anyone who isn't trying to be some generic Gorguts rip-off.
I know nothing about music or muscial instruments but I know that distinct sound that Fieldy has. I don't think anyone has been able to replicate or even tried to replicate that signature bass work that made Korn stand out back in its rising days.
Fieldy may not have the best music theory in the music industry. But god damn the man is creative as hell with his bass lines, and can play bass better than most bassists out there. He rivals Flea with his style of slap playing, and adds his own signature style when he plays. Dont hate the man because you've never picked up an instrument yourself, and wish you could be doing what he's doing. My man's got skills, and has the track record to prove it.
@@MonsterJuiced Dude... I know you're a probably a Korn fan and all. Not knocking you. I used to like them a lot when I was younger. But as a bass player I can easily tell you that anyone who plays bass for 6 months or so can do this. He fit Korn well and sounded good with them, but let's not act like their actually playing anything technical. This bass line is extremely easy.
I don't know why people rant about his style, it's his way of playing, it's so Korn. He serves the band so well, and this is what a musician have to do when in a band.
I haven't picked up a bass in at least 15 years but that reminds me a lot of clawhammer banjo playing. Next time I get a chance to play a bass I'm going to have to experiment a little, I play banjo in that style.
I’ve always loved his style of base playing. It’s a very vibrating type sound and also some of the best musicians on the planet who made the most iconic songs are the most simplest chords. You don’t have to be all fancy by adding 35 chords per second you just gotta keep it simple.
He’s one of those rare players that you’d recognize with a blindfold on. His style is his own and completely recognizable.
yeah, it's crap.
That's true. In fact, most of Korn's sound is how he's approaching the bass. They all mimic what he's playing to a degree.
@@JOEMAMMADRINK40Z

Clickity clickity click.
I love fieldy's clicks tone I myself am a percussion bassist so I play a lot of heavy groovy slap like fieldys himself lol I also play in the same tuning as him and love the low sound I prefer it over using I hat using mid to me it ruins a bad but that's just my opinion fieldys tone is so unique because you don't see many bassist bringing a new style of bass into this world anymore I don't any band that has his clicky tone
8un3zz that was my opinion man don't get so butt hurt damn XD
he's just trolling, who cares what he thinks
8un3zz you're a self righteous idiot who seriously brag about listening to stevie wonder. Geez.
fields does suck. sorry. there's thousand of more talented musicians that will never receive recognition but it's whatever. I loved Korn when I was young but as you grow up and mature you begin to realize that lack of skill.
8un3zz you read comics. you never were popular amongst the girls.
I think it solely has to do with the way it was recorded. I mean, it was direct to camera audio recording. If they used mics on the amp and then used that sample and sinc it with the video like most musicians do on YT, then it would not sound horrible as a lot of people rant about. Being able to play an instrument is way different from being a sound engineer.
Awesome. I'll never forget when he replied my msg 10 years ago. My fav member Fieldy
He such an underrated bassist imo
He's definitely not underrated, he gets all the appreciation he deserves
@user-cw2pb9zf8j well when it comes to bass community they are not so appreciated. Many people who already are fans of numetal yes. But I had plenty of bass instructors tell me other wise...
"It's really easy"
Me a beginner: yeah okay buddy
you are really selling yourself short
Have respect for the man hes a legend. Not the greatest but who cares. He's doing what he loves and hes rich because of it.
and he doesnt really act like a total douche about it. he just does what he enjoys and willing to share it. :)
I met him yesterday, coolest, most down to Earth dude ever. Such an awesome guy.
Remmy 315 I did. He is. Not the best but who cares. Legend.
so he's a legend because he's rich?
Wrong. Fieldy is a legend because KoRn is a legend. Joke about him all you like, the fact is he is a real bass player and suggesting otherwise is just a logical fallacy. I've tried my hand at the bass, and don't progress often or get to practice much. I know what a non-bassist is like - me. I'm nowhere near Fieldy.
If your joke is only consistent when applied to a specific group (in this case your "music circles"), then it's not always true. It's only true in your limited context, in which you heckle and sneer down your nose at anyone who isn't trying to be some generic Gorguts rip-off.
I could watch fieldy play bass all day, he is a legend 🤘
I know nothing about music or muscial instruments but I know that distinct sound that Fieldy has. I don't think anyone has been able to replicate or even tried to replicate that signature bass work that made Korn stand out back in its rising days.
I still come back to watch @5:08 forward all this time later. The groove was so good.
Fieldy may not have the best music theory in the music industry. But god damn the man is creative as hell with his bass lines, and can play bass better than most bassists out there. He rivals Flea with his style of slap playing, and adds his own signature style when he plays. Dont hate the man because you've never picked up an instrument yourself, and wish you could be doing what he's doing. My man's got skills, and has the track record to prove it.
I like the blue strings 👌
Will it make a difference if he was holding a plank with some binding wires nail to it.
it’s favorite bass sound ever
Of all the Rock/metal songs that suit breakdancing and popping, this is most perfect
why does it sound so much better in the actual song?
Because it's an actual song.
Mixing and mastering
"Its 5 - 7 - 4"
proceeeds to play "5 - 6 - 4"
lmao and he kept saying it over and over too
Very unique style, awesome!
Tony Thrash very percussive focused
Tony Thrash
If unique is a nice way of saying he fucking sucks then yes...very unique.
Nun Ya he's actually great player, but he sucks at teaching
@@MonsterJuiced Dude... I know you're a probably a Korn fan and all. Not knocking you. I used to like them a lot when I was younger. But as a bass player I can easily tell you that anyone who plays bass for 6 months or so can do this. He fit Korn well and sounded good with them, but let's not act like their actually playing anything technical. This bass line is extremely easy.
@@mileswilliams4807 but can you create something original like fieldy and korn did?
I don't know why people rant about his style, it's his way of playing, it's so Korn. He serves the band so well, and this is what a musician have to do when in a band.
Because this is CLICK bait!
I haven't picked up a bass in at least 15 years but that reminds me a lot of clawhammer banjo playing. Next time I get a chance to play a bass I'm going to have to experiment a little, I play banjo in that style.
Fieldy is a mad bass player! The guy has his completely unique way of controlling the instrument.
These comments are everything I knew they’d be
The ending killed me
he's bad lol
Was I the only one who ever thought that this guy doesn’t play bass guitar at all?
This video proves that I was wrong, great job Garfield
Great looking bass! Thanks for taking the time to show how it really goes.
If you learn one bass riff from fieldy you play simultaneously every single released and un released Korn song ever made !
I love his method of jamming out on bass! My fave bass player...Fieldy and second, Flea. 🤘
"This is where it gets hard" pretty easy tbh all you need is the groove
Pretty cool of him to do this. Didn’t follow korn much after follow the leader but those first 3 albums were soundtracks to my teenage years for sure
I’ve always loved his style of base playing. It’s a very vibrating type sound and also some of the best musicians on the planet who made the most iconic songs are the most simplest chords. You don’t have to be all fancy by adding 35 chords per second you just gotta keep it simple.
Lars & Fieldy should record together. ...
YES!!!
He already records with fieldy. Jaymz hetfieldy
Lars sucks!
I see what you did there...
That is hilarious!
