"Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" is an English nursery rhyme, the earliest surviving version of which dates from 1731. ... Uncorroborated theories have been advanced to explain the meaning of the rhyme, such as that it is a complaint against taxes levied on the Medieval English wool trade.
"Pocket full of posies" People kept flowers in their shirt pocket to cover the smell of death that was lingering in the air everywhere due the the plague deaths. Dark stuff. Another great video ya'll!!!
Saw Korn open for Metallica a few times back in the day when Korn first came out and I’ve never seen an opener get the fans so worked up. There were fights breaking out all over the arena and there were people fighting for fun. They’d be slugging it out, and stop, throw their hands in the air cheering and high five each other! Craziest shit I ever saw!
Korn's lead singer put together the soundtrack for the movie the Queen of the Damned. He didn't sing on the album, but he got a few other metal singers to fill in for the songs he helped write. You should check out "Slept so Long" (Jay Gordon of Orgy), "Not Meant for me" (Wayne Static), "Forsaken" (David Draiman), "System" (Chester Bennington), or "Redeemer" (Marilyn Manson). All great songs. Rip Wayne and Chester
Jonathan Howsmon Davis was born in Bakersfield, California, on January 18, 1971, the son of Holly Marie (née Smith; May 6, 1949 - February 25, 2018) Chavez and Ricky Duane "Rick" Davis (born December 14, 1948). His parents married on February 27, 1970. He is of English, German, Scottish, and Welsh descent.
Waaaaaaaaay back in the day when they came through Chicago while touring for this album I managed to get the wig that Johnaton Davis was wearing when he walked on stage. That was cool enough for 17 year old me but then I go to show my friend on the ride home and discover at least an eigths worth of weed in it. Needless to say it was a good night.
My nickname back in high school was kornbread because I was big into korn back then. I had all the cds and tshirts. I still like korn's new music today.
damn, that combo of jonathan’s bagpipes and fieldy’s bass 😍 they’re both so distinctive and take me right back and yes, bagpipes are a bitch to play properly. my uncle played and when he hit a note wrong… oof 😬
Dudes. Check the chourus(you probably did already) but “Nursery rhymes are said Verses in my head Into my childhood they’re spoonfed Hidden violence revealed Darkness that seems real Look at the pages that cause all this EVIL.
The first song that I heard of Korn. Been hooked since then. Saw them in 2015,and was waiting for this Song. They played it last with Jonathan coming out and playing the Bagpipes and I went crazy.
When Korn Was born into the Epic music Genre in 93'. I was in 9th grade. Tool came out in 92' then here comes Korn. Music was progressing so much. I still have my Jnco Jeans from back then 😉 I have a very wide range of Genres I love. All thanks to the ever growing bands. Who have graced us with their music over the years. (You both were talking about children's nursery rhymes. I have the Brother's Grimm True Nursery Rhymes book. All of them was actually horrific in nature. They changed it up to be more child friendly. Tho the true nature of children's rhymes are still hidden within.) This was a great Reaction Guys Any Korn you guys react to next will be Awesome! 🤘😊
@@Know_Your_Enemy42 Yeah, I know what you mean. The first time I saw them live was the first anniversary of 9/11, in Glasgow Scotland, those pipes were damn loud that night.
Oh my gosh I'm so glad you all did this one. Can't believe I didn't know sooner. One of my favorites! The musicianship in this one is incredible and hard core. Great reaction guys
Back in tha awesome 90s, I 💜d telling my cousin's wife that I was gonna sing this to her baby while she was preggo! She always screeched, "Oh no, you ain't!" 😂😁
I can remember when I went to go see Megadeth in '95 for the Youthanasia tour. An unknown band named Korn opened up the show. It was nothing I had ever heard before but I listen to them almost every day.
I have raise 9kids and grandchildren and great grandchildren. Trying to put the younger ones to bed was hard till this song Chutes and Laderrs came out. The were all cut in up and I put it on. I never heard them get so quiet so fast ever. Oh I played in a rock band.
Bro you guys are awesome, I found you from Rob Zombie actually, he posted a youtuber watching Dragula for the first time, which led me to see your video next. Keep being badass! Already telling peeps to watch your vids!
I can say something about nursery rhymes. The most popular are the ones from the XIX century. The lyrics may seam grim, because they are like that. Back in the day, when information wasnt on the TV and not everybody had an acces to newspapers, news was passed mouth to mouth. Children, whom heard those gossips may not understad them, but felt, by the emotional charge, that theire were important and made their own wersions. Many events has theire own equivalent in nursery rhymes, even in more recent events. There was one about Mansons family murders, one about Kenedy's death and many more. PS. You guys are great PS2 sorry for errors in the text, english is not my native language
Many nursery rhymes were used to either fend off evil things or were told as bed time stories as things that would happen to them if they weren’t good and proper children.
@@deadso well, it's "chutes" and ladders lol You can slide down a chute, but not a shoot. JD pulled a bit of wordplay there, emphasizing the violent nature of the words of the song.
Guys, please Im stil waiting for Green Jelly - Three little Pigs. You wont be dissappointed. features Danny Carey and Maynard ( do not expect Tool kinda song thou)
I love that you guys are checking Korn out in timeline order... Amazing... Life is Peachy album is the best old Korn album to me... ADIDAS and Ball Tongue and Chi and Twist and GOOD GOD!!! HOLY FUCKARONI DUDES!!
You have to remember that back in the day freedom of speech was not a thing. People had to be careful about how they spread social comentary and news. These nursery rhymes are what came of it.
dude!! when the next vid. haha. yall r freakin awesome. been watchin yalls content for a long while. and man. cant wait till yall. next vid. and love the tools series yall r doin. but. it be nice. to get more than one tool episode hahhaha. thanks for giving this kind of music a chance. id love to hear one day of some of yalls music... but yea. keep doin what yall be doin. love it 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Almost missed this! I liked the video when y'all dropped it, excited, hoping to watch it later because I was busy at the time. Then find out it got blocked! I was so happy to see it unblocked! Thanks bros!
I truly believe they were in the studio and Jonathan said "Man we can make anything a hit..." The producer said "How about Nursery Rhymes" Jonathan followed that up with a mic drop...
It's funny I see a lot of the younger Hip Hop Heads. React to Korn referring to Jonathan Davis's scatting as beatboxing. It's probably the only frame of reference they have to relate to such a thing. But the older Generations remember Jazz and other musicians scatting. Everyone's heard of the Scatman right?
Well there is a very deep meaning of this song, it tackles the dark origins of the nursery rhymes song, we used to sing when we were young, but it has a very deep dark history behind
The mid 90’s were good in central Illinois, we had a good music scene, check out the band NIL8 from my hometown of Springfield,Illinois who mixes punk with metal,funk, alternative and hip hop
The nursery rhymes were to teach children about history and what happened. Also like Grimm's Fairy Tales not the light versions but the real versions Were Meant to scare children from not doing things like going into the forest alone and other things I can't remember maybe not trusting old women with candy trying to lower them. Not crying wolf unless there really is a wolf. Etc etc
A lil background but Ive always took this song to be about the nursery rhymes taught to children having really dark origins. I thought london bridges being about them putting virgins in bridges or some shit. If your looking for reasons I mean most fairytales that like Disney animates for example also have really darker origins.
I’m going to keep requesting it until you do it lol; Orestes by A Perfect Circle the Stone and Echo live version. Again, this is a piece to the Judith story that you all haven’t done yet. Do it!
It would be dangerous as fuck... but I'd like to bring some Wardruna along, and watch "The Lone Viking" at the last stand on Stamford Bridge. Oh the time machine question. It's like asking what your favorite Tool song is.
Jonathan Davis is Scottish/Irish and yes bag pipes are as difficult as any other instrument if never played before. I actually met them in Atlanta early 90's promoting this album. They were playing at the Underground and another local band at that time Piece Dogs, not sure they ever made it mainstream, and yes they were and still are cool as fk. It's been years since I've been to Atlanta...is the Underground still there and is the local band Piece Dogs was ever a big hit there?
The flute is the most difficult of the woodwind instruments to learn how to play in band,and the bagpipes are even more difficult to master than the flute,requiring years of breath control to even be able to sustain a note. Btw,London Bridge DOES have a sinister origin:according to history,when the bridge was built children were sacrificed,and their bodies interred within the bases of the foundations,to appease the ancient river gods.
I’ve seen Korn probably 15 times and there’s nothing like that moment when JD walks on stage playing bagpipes
Yes!!! I've seen them 7 or 8 times, it's so good every time
Saw them 3 times Inna week once..😆
Manchester Birmingham and London..
I was addicted
.
Still am..my guys.
They where my first Concert and I’ve only seen them once
Lucky bastards!!!! 🥺I never see them😭
99 BDO Gold coast then Adelaide! Best year of my life!!!!!
That first album changed the whole game. I’ll never forget it.
Same. My first concert ever, their first tour, Jan 95.♥️ St Pete, FL
This and Vulgar display of power.... absolute game changer
Holly crap this is litterly back in the day. Korn, who can say no to korn?
Been a Korn fan since the self titled debut.
Sense a kid for me
Been a fan since L.A.P.D 🤘
And now you got a shoutout in a Korn reaction video!
@@moritzkorsch9029 I am immortalized 😁
Me too 🤘🏻
In 1995 my son was 3 (YES I'M OLD) And EVERYTIME we got in the car for months I had to play this OVER AND OVER...And I still LOVE IT

Ahh the song that started 27 year obsession!!! Korn is great!!! Would love to see more from Korn!!
Davis also wrote and sang the soundtrack for the movie "Queen Of the Damned."
Yep
He bought in people that he worked with to sing some of the original songs
Wow I don't know that that so cool
@@lulumiskell8435 he can't perform any of the songs with Korn but he does when he does solo tours.
Thanks for the info

I was listening to this song today! Freaking slays! I love it so much! Thank you for this one. Love you guys!
Being Scottish and hearing this song for the first time I fucking fell in love
The first song that I heard of Korn. Been hooked since then. Saw them in 2015,and was waiting for this Song. They played it last with Jonathan coming out and playing the Bagpipes and I went crazy.
One of my favorite songs because most nursery rhymes have a dark origin and how they are ingrained into our brain as a kid.
Appreciate the shout out fam.

Johnathan has always written all the lyrics.
Nothing as badass as when JD busts out the bagpipes. And yes, he's Scottish. Hence the kilt he wears sometimes
His grandmother was Scottish, so in terms of gene's he's practically ginger so its all good.
Every concert everyone gets psycho when he pulls them out lol.

One of my absolute favorite Korn songs!! 🖤🖤
Thoughtless by Korn is another great one y'all gotta check out
Notice the lead singer Jonathan Davis is wearing an Adidas sweat suit? That is his homage to rap music
I've own many. I need a new one
He stole it from Fieldy
the incredible transitions in this song so mind blowing!
Doing all the childhood songs and Jonathan Davis doing the bagpipe intro
It's weird that a game can have different names throughout the world. We call it Snakes and Ladders.
You can slide down a shoot, which makes sense game wise, I don't get how the snake would work. Does it eat you and poop you out?
@@deadso hahaha. Honestly I have no idea. Probably because there are plenty of dangerous snakes in Australia?
@@deadso well, it's "chutes" and ladders lol You can slide down a chute, but not a shoot. JD pulled a bit of wordplay there, emphasizing the violent nature of the words of the song.
Guys, please Im stil waiting for Green Jelly - Three little Pigs. You wont be dissappointed. features Danny Carey and Maynard ( do not expect Tool kinda song thou)
That band was a ton of fun, Bill Manspeaker is a boss. That whole album is great, Rock-N-Roll Pumpkihn is my personal favourite. Love that tune.
i used to play ring around the rosies with my cousins it was fun
Try not to bang your head when this old man comes rolling home
I grew up listening to korn because I from Bakersfield and Half of my family are korn fans
Love JD's impression on 50 cents in Da club! 😂
ON POINT ABOUT THE NURSERY RHYMES BEING DARK! THAT WAS THE EXACT POINT! Johnathan said that in an interview.
Yay! Finally more KORN!!!! Thank you guys!
Korn was my favorite band in the world in highschool
The chunkiness of the downtuned 7 string Ibanez guitars and 5 string bass
I love that you guys are checking Korn out in timeline order... Amazing... Life is Peachy album is the best old Korn album to me... ADIDAS and Ball Tongue and Chi and Twist and GOOD GOD!!! HOLY FUCKARONI DUDES!!
I love how’s ya include ya dogs ya mofo’s rock, I look forward to seeing ya dudes living it up, it’s fucking great
You are are both straight up gangster in your reactions. Keep up the good work!
KoRn - TWIST , and Dead Bodies Everywhere, 2 of the best Korn songs ever,, Y'all want a single.. is up there too
Twist is my absolute favorite from them. Cant beat it.
Shit. I got my alarm set for when these guys open up “Daddy”. Holy fuck. Like.... it MUST BE DONE. Full stop. “Daddy”....
Keep doing more off this album!! Everything is so great off it.
You have to remember that back in the day freedom of speech was not a thing. People had to be careful about how they spread social comentary and news. These nursery rhymes are what came of it.
Love the shirt Ramirez!
Jonathan Davis is the main songwriter for sure. I believe he's open to colab of the other members. IDK if the other members compose too though.
Dudes... you need to see Korn live once in your life. 11 times and I haven’t regretted it once.
I still wear JNCO’s
Jason Dunne lol I re-bought them when they came out again. I also took out my old ones from jr and hs. I cried 😂 because I forgot how thin I was.

Dang this brings back so many memories 😆🥰
Wow! This brings me back to freshman year of high school.
Seen them multiple times and at woodstock when the bagpipes came out shit went off
Great song! Been a fan of Korn since the beginning. My 9 yo loves this song. You have got to do "Wicked" Korn ft. Chino 🤘
You girl.... speechless. Ty
You CAN watch Woodstock. ✌🏻
Man, if you can find it, the live version from the Family Values tour VHS is my favorite version of all time - same with Blind.
My goal was to introduce my grandson to this song. Goal accomplished! At 4 he knows all the words & loves to headbang.
Love you guys
Well there is a very deep meaning of this song, it tackles the dark origins of the nursery rhymes song, we used to sing when we were young, but it has a very deep dark history behind
Yeahhh, you should react to Somebody Someone or Ball Tongue also!
Wait y’all in the ATL? Yeah! South Georgia here. Represent the dirty south!
This song did its job, as most metal songs. It made you think.

You think this ones in your face? Right Now by Korn is right up there with the angriest/hateful songs of all time. 😤
Love blasting that song when I'm having a bad day!
Gimme a pair of Jincos and a trenchcoat... I'm stealing everything.
A lil background but Ive always took this song to be about the nursery rhymes taught to children having really dark origins.

damn, thats a blast from the past i totally forgot i loved
Yes, JD written all the lyrics !
I liked Korn's "another brick in the wall" cover. "Evolution" is good also. The video to evolution was really good.
Scatman Crothers played in the original The Shining with Jack Nicholson
I see the Hatchet man tattoo, ninja. Whoop whoop
Yes Johnathan writes all the lyrics.
You guys must do Anthrax Bring the Noise
The flute is the most difficult of the woodwind instruments to learn how to play in band,and the bagpipes are even more difficult to master than the flute,requiring years of breath control to even be able to sustain a note.
Btw,London Bridge DOES have a sinister origin:according to history,when the bridge was built children were sacrificed,and their bodies interred within the bases of the foundations,to appease the ancient river gods.
