Now you’ve arrived! The thing about Nu Metal is that wether you love it or hate it, NOTHING sounds like it. Each band that was conceived during inception of this genere is so unique and original to their own individual sound and is fuckimg brilliant. This song is so popular, but to me, Korn will always be “got the life” , as a teenager , stuck in traffic while this is blaring in my speakers played daily on KROQ. Korn will always be timeless, specially for the generation that grew up with it, as the voice of many kids that felt like outsiders , rejected and abused by society or at home. ❤️🔥🏴☠️ Coming Undone is a great song that gets overlooked and it’s a shame because it’s a fuckimg banger. Great reaction guys 🫶🏽
What Korn makes so unique are the sounds that they are capable to get out of their guitars during the verse and the way Fieldy plays his bass guitar. No other rock/metal band plays it this way.
the performance from woodstock 99 would be fitting. Although I think the studio version is much better. But live is cool to see how insane that crowd was.
They mentioned watching a woodstock docu in the beginning, they should totally do Blind in woodstock 99 !! Captures the pure craziness of it too plus it's just a legendary performance :D
One of my favorite bands, thank you. Your next Korn reaction should be the song Blind but the live at Woodstock 99 version . Just an incredible performance.
Korn is my favorite band of all time. Ive seen them more times than i can count. Saw them on their first tour and every tour since then. I never miss one. Jonathan Davis is the o ly man id leave my husband for and he knew it before we got married 😂
Dude i watched woodstock 99 at my friends house for the 3 days straight right after school friday to sunday.his parents ordered it for us.8th grade year.good memories man.good times.
Korn were a breath of fresh air in the metal scene of 1994. Some of the earliest adopters of 7 string guitars in metal. I think at the time the Steve Via Ibanez jem models were pretty much all you could get. Now 7, 8, and 9 strings are common.
the artwork came from one of the greatest comic artist (personal opinion) Todd McFarlane. he's done spider-man, batman, and his on creation under Image comics Spawn. Jonathan Davis was a huge fan of the guy
Matter of fact, you guys mentioned watching a woodstock docu in the beginning, you should totally do Blind in woodstock 99 !! Captures the pure craziness of it too plus it's just a legendary performance :D maybe after falling away from me ?
The video represents how we're constantly "dodging bullets" metaphorically speaking, and the constant anxiety of knowing it can all go badly wrong, but not knowing when or how
I knew who the lead singer was because of the video for Limp Bizcut “Break Stuff”. A lot of cameos in that video. Didn’t hear this song until about a year ago. Took me by surprise definitely not what I expected. I love the weird part before the breakdown and the hard vocals 😊🌽
Hey guys!!! Loving your reaction channel. I just wanted to say I’ve seen your reactions to John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Can we please get more John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. They both have a huge catalogue of music for you to react to!!!! Please!!! More John and Jimmy!!!
The song is actually about the music industry (They felt like they were on a leash being told what to do & what not to do) But they did help Limp Bizkit get a record deal
I'm a big Korn fan myself, I started listening to them I think in around 1994/1995, but I am European and the first song that really made me a fan of their music was actually this song and this music video. The whole bullet time and the animation. They also have a follow up music video in Falling away from me.. where they start with the ending of the animation of this one pretty much. For potential other songs from Korn I can recommend: Falling Away from me, Blind, Got the life, Evolution, Did my time, Here to stay, Lost in the Grandeur, Thoughtless, Worst is on its way, Forgotten, Wicked, Hollow Life, Let's do this now, Counting on me, It's on, This loss. Some of the ones listed are from more current albums, which many don't seem to think are good. But I disagree, their last two albums are very good. They returned back a bit to their earlier sounds. Thanks for the video, appreciated. :D
Yes more Korn...just DON'T REACT TO DADDY yet...you...you are not ready for that. That is a hard song to deal with emotionally especially if you know about it and if you know nothing, its a kick in the teeth instead of in the heart.
You should check out KoRn - Coming Undone It has a similar drum pattern to Queen - We Will Rock You and when they play the song live they sing we will rock you as a break down, it's fking epic.
Saw them live in Toronto in September. They killed it! The lyrics are a hit at the music industry/record labels. "A cheap fuck for me to lay.." is the most direct lyric to understand. The labels whore the band out, take all the profits and then demand more music. Like old school "sideshow attractions", they feel like they are a freak on a leash next to other displays like a man/mermaid, half woman half snake etc.. With each new display they're put on, it takes another part of them. The scatting breakdown part makes me think that he is embracing the freak, "ya you treat me like a freak, I'll show you freak" and he just goes nuts haha
Great reaction. I haven't had your channel recommended since you were doing Ren reactions. You didn't scratch the surface with him so it'd be great to see you continue that journey. I'd recommend doing his newer releases as the ones you reacted to may have lost views from over exposure from other reactors. Glad you are doing Korn. Will stick around for them too. Other Artists I haven't seen you react to that you would enjoy and bring growth from the different fan bases are Billy Ellish and Radiohead. I hope you check them out. 😊
Loved your reaction. My favorite is BALL TONGUE. (There's a lyric video available, which you'll want). Please, please! If DADDY is recommended, don't do it UNTIL you've heard other songs by the band first.
Song is about feeling like a slave to the music industry, he felt like a freak on a leash Also Todd McFarlane from Spawn was a part of the music video and I believe the album cover as well
Korn blind is great yes but Korn- daddy is one to check out its heavy in lyrics and the raw emotion of johnathan davis on it when they kept rolling the tape is powerful
When asked about it John Davis called that beatbox scatt type thing "using the force" when watching the video don't forget these kids were trespassing yet somehow still represent innocence. The shot was accidental. The guard is agitated by these kids but is horrified when the gun goes off. We then follow the bullet and see how rash decisions have long standing repercussions. Eventually John stands in front of the bullet knowing that it was his music that was playing on that radio distracting the guard, starting this whole thing. He then ups his intensity, and instead of becoming a victim to the backlash he sent out, he sends it back out. this time it is the youth who stops it, not by deflecting but with benevolence.
The video is mostly based on a mostly forgotten gun control PSA from the 1980's where the point of the PSA was that when you fire a gun you don't know where the bullet might end up. IIRC the original PSA ends right as the bullet fired at the beginning of the PSA is about to hit a child. I haven't actually seen the original in decades so my memory is a little hazy about it.
On all that it was just the sign of the times and this is what was in demand and it met the mark as far as I am concerned. Else this particular song has ae very well thought and unique composition as well usage of techniques, choice of sound and placement and so forth. It's smart and I don't think I can name something quite like it that was pressed before it was. That at least is a consistent thing with this band. While staying in genre they are always trying to infuse something experimental and new into their tracks.
@7:00 its funny that you mention slipknot, because both Korn and them are apart of the "Nu-Metal" genre of rock. Once maybe harder than the other, but they're both from that same branch of the metal scene.
If you are going to go down the nu-metal rabbit hole, you have to check out Deftones - Change(in the house of flies) or Digital bath would be good starters.
Hi Guys you have to check out a brilliant young American Rock Band " Greata Van Fleet" they have been compared to Led Zepplin and you should check out there song"Highway Tune" Live in Toronto!!! This is a banger that will blow your socks off!!!
Their first album let me know they were good, then they got the big record deal. Felt they would have been even better if they had more time in-between.
Falling away from me because this video and that tie into each other. Then in no order, Blind (the Woodstock 99 video), Got the Life, Thoughtless, Oildale, Twisted Transistor. Whatever you do, dont do Daddy without researching and preparing if you do decide to do it.
Falling Away From Me
yup is direct sequel to this song. which is wild.
"Got The Life" another banger from Korn..
Now you’ve arrived!
The thing about Nu Metal is that wether you love it or hate it, NOTHING sounds like it. Each band that was conceived during inception of this genere is so unique and original to their own individual sound and is fuckimg brilliant. This song is so popular, but to me, Korn will always be “got the life” , as a teenager , stuck in traffic while this is blaring in my speakers played daily on KROQ.
Korn will always be timeless, specially for the generation that grew up with it, as the voice of many kids that felt like outsiders , rejected and abused by society or at home. ❤️🔥🏴☠️
Coming Undone is a great song that gets overlooked and it’s a shame because it’s a fuckimg banger.
Great reaction guys 🫶🏽
Korn - Falling Away From Me is connected to this song. You should check that one out
I absolutely love this song.
I've seen them several times they are amazing I saw them live 2 weeks ago in Tulsa
What Korn makes so unique are the sounds that they are capable to get out of their guitars during the verse and the way Fieldy plays his bass guitar. No other rock/metal band plays it this way.
Mmmmmm.... Korn. You may want to consider checking out Korn - Blind next.
Blind was the birth of NuMetal so yes, do the video of Blind for clean vocals follow w Woodstock 99 to watch 600,000 people lose it!
the performance from woodstock 99 would be fitting. Although I think the studio version is much better. But live is cool to see how insane that crowd was.
That came out when I was 18, I'd never really heard anything like that before. Went out and bought their cd the next day.
They mentioned watching a woodstock docu in the beginning, they should totally do Blind in woodstock 99 !! Captures the pure craziness of it too plus it's just a legendary performance :D
😏💯
4:58 The definition of blue balls.
I know, the perfect pause for it lmao.
RIGHT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's terrifyingly accurate. 🤣
omg the pause.....you say good spot, we all SCREAM....NOOOOO THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME lmao 😂😂😂 Peoples first listen of this one is always a trip😂
You guys are in for a good treat with this band they have a bunch of great music
One of my favorite bands, thank you. Your next Korn reaction should be the song Blind but the live at Woodstock 99 version . Just an incredible performance.

Korn covering Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, this is a must see!
the artwork came from one of the greatest comic artist (personal opinion) Todd McFarlane. he's done spider-man, batman, and his on creation under Image comics Spawn. Jonathan Davis was a huge fan of the guy
Falling away from me next!!

Studio version of Blind and Shutes and Ladders....hell, just do the whole first album....you're welcome 🙏
🤘👽🤘
First album is definitely my favorite.
More Korn please! I think you guys will enjoy.
KoRn Kids represent ❤
Korn is top tier nu metal, you two definitely need to explore more
I knew who the lead singer was because of the video for Limp Bizcut “Break Stuff”. A lot of cameos in that video. Didn’t hear this song until about a year ago. Took me by surprise definitely not what I expected. I love the weird part before the breakdown and the hard vocals 😊🌽
Seen korn with rob zombie in concert. Epic night
You should check "Falling Away From Me", witch is basically the part 2 of this song
Right on Im eating korn on the kob watching Korn on the channel!
Korn - Coming Undone
Gotta do falling away from me next. Continues where this video leaves over and an amazing song.
Korn - Falling Away From Me, the music video begins where freak on a leash ends
Hey guys!!! Loving your reaction channel. I just wanted to say I’ve seen your reactions to John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Can we please get more John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. They both have a huge catalogue of music for you to react to!!!! Please!!! More John and Jimmy!!!
The song is actually about the music industry (They felt like they were on a leash being told what to do & what not to do)
But they did help Limp Bizkit get a record deal
We now forgive Korn for that.
Falling away from me should be next, good reaction 😃
You definitely need to do Blind live from Woodstock 1999.
Thank you Phill and Sam for the good song and review 😀👍🏻

Thanks for the video, appreciated. :D
You both NEED to react to the 8yr old little girl doing Freak on a Leash. You BOTH WILL NOT be disappointed.
Got the Life qnd Falling Away From You are necessities, but also they covered Word Up and its great.
Yes more Korn...just DON'T REACT TO DADDY yet...you...you are not ready for that. That is a hard song to deal with emotionally especially if you know about it and if you know nothing, its a kick in the teeth instead of in the heart.
You should check out KoRn - Coming Undone
It has a similar drum pattern to Queen - We Will Rock You and when they play the song live they sing we will rock you as a break down, it's fking epic.
KORN, from my neck of the woods, BAKERSFIELD CA . they have influenced many bands with their sound, they were the OG' S.👍🍀
Saw them live in Toronto in September. They killed it!
The lyrics are a hit at the music industry/record labels. "A cheap fuck for me to lay.." is the most direct lyric to understand.

9:06 One of the sickest breakdowns ever
Loved your reaction. My favorite is BALL TONGUE. (There's a lyric video available, which you'll want). Please, please! If DADDY is recommended, don't do it UNTIL you've heard other songs by the band first.
Korn's "Daddy" is a helluva crucial, but also helluva difficult lyrics video, for anyone to react to, but their live video . . . Damn
No...just, no
I don’t think they are ready for that!
there ready for it a must reaction after blind
Song is about feeling like a slave to the music industry, he felt like a freak on a leash
Also Todd McFarlane from Spawn was a part of the music video and I believe the album cover as well
Korn .Here To Stay.
Korn blind is great yes but Korn- daddy is one to check out its heavy in lyrics and the raw emotion of johnathan davis on it when they kept rolling the tape is powerful
Hypocrite by Mourning Lotus! I know it's not Korn but it's my band and we're established out of NC.
When asked about it John Davis called that beatbox scatt type thing "using the force" when watching the video don't forget these kids were trespassing yet somehow still represent innocence. The shot was accidental. The guard is agitated by these kids but is horrified when the gun goes off. We then follow the bullet and see how rash decisions have long standing repercussions.

He then ups his intensity, and instead of becoming a victim to the backlash he sent out, he sends it back out. this time it is the youth who stops it, not by deflecting but with benevolence.
you should listen to "Daddy" by Korn. Very fun and uplifting song
The video is mostly based on a mostly forgotten gun control PSA from the 1980's where the point of the PSA was that when you fire a gun you don't know where the bullet might end up. IIRC the original PSA ends right as the bullet fired at the beginning of the PSA is about to hit a child. I haven't actually seen the original in decades so my memory is a little hazy about it.
If you want to see them fuse nu metal and hip hop, check out their collaborations with Ice Cube, Xzibit and Notorious BIG
Just another timeless masterpiece from these guys.
Y'all are young as hell. I was in my 4th year of college when this song came out! 😂
Blind is a really great song! Live is great and the studio is perfect
@barsandbarbells2022 KoRn really were the Godfatrhers of Nu Metal Genre, before bands like Linkin Park and Slipknot Evanscence and others.
Twisted transistor by Korn has a fun surprise for you
Korn has a huge catalog of great music
blind is still my favorite korn song
They did a version of this song for MTV Unplugged with Amy Lee of Evanescence. Please check it out sometime, it's incredible.
On all that it was just the sign of the times and this is what was in demand and it met the mark as far as I am concerned. Else this particular song has ae very well thought and unique composition as well usage of techniques, choice of sound and placement and so forth. It's smart and I don't think I can name something quite like it that was pressed before it was. That at least is a consistent thing with this band. While staying in genre they are always trying to infuse something experimental and new into their tracks.
Check out Somebody Someone. The breakdown on that one hits like a truck.
This is KORN's best tune. Their 2nd best song/hit is A.D.I.D.A.S. IMO.
Faith No More comes to mind with the rap rock "Epic"
Definitely in the top 10 metal bass riffs.
@7:00 its funny that you mention slipknot, because both Korn and them are apart of the "Nu-Metal" genre of rock. Once maybe harder than the other, but they're both from that same branch of the metal scene.
Did my time is my all time favourite
Korn - Blind (LIVE @ Woodstock 99)
Korn feat Fred Durst - All In The Family
X-Men was top tier
Korn - Start the healing
Enough said.
Yes
Love when they guest starred on South Park.
React to "Right Now" by KoRn official video, great song.
If you are going to go down the nu-metal rabbit hole, you have to check out Deftones - Change(in the house of flies) or Digital bath would be good starters.
Korn - Thougless (offical music video)
The creator of Spawn did the art work.
I think in 2000, Korn won their first Grammy for this video
I actually like the MTV unplugged version with Amy Lee better. This version is great too though
Hi Guys you have to check out a brilliant young American Rock Band " Greata Van Fleet" they have been compared to Led Zepplin and you should check out there song"Highway Tune" Live in Toronto!!! This is a banger that will blow your socks off!!!
Their first album let me know they were good, then they got the big record deal. Felt they would have been even better if they had more time in-between.
Can someone explain, please, how that chunky, percussive bass sound is generated? I hear it in a lot of Korn songs. TIA
💯👍🕺❤️
korn woodstock is what chat wants, figure iit out, limp too break stuff
This on that gym playlist lol
If you want more context to this one falling away from me is the sequel. Must watch after this.
One of the best video clips ever. Too bad they censured some of the lyrics.
Maybe you should check Mr Bungle. Korn was a huge fan of them.
Falling away from me because this video and that tie into each other. Then in no order, Blind (the Woodstock 99 video), Got the Life, Thoughtless, Oildale, Twisted Transistor. Whatever you do, dont do Daddy without researching and preparing if you do decide to do it.
Holy moly the place you paused😂😲
Its about music industry
Next Korn Falling Away From Me
Next Korn - Thoughtless
Right Now music video ..... 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Follow up song falling away from me is the next one
So the lesson we learned today is you don't know how old your cousin is.
It’s called scatting they do it in jazz music
