Covid did take a toll on his potency when singing live, no raspiness, sometimes no growls. I love his work to death and I will always admire how he continues singing like this, considering he is asthmatic and Covid probably exhausted much of his respiratory system. He is an amazing musician.
Long time KoRn fan since the original self titled dropped. Their last 3 albums have been nothing short of amazing. They have the raw energy of a brand new band breaking out!
This is Korn doing what Korn do best, messing with your mind with music that is hard to pin down and different lyrical deliveries to really let you into Jonathans emotions, just fantastic music for a song that makes you question reality
This album is incredible. It's about healing and working through emotional upheaval. I recently lost my sister and this album is helping me grieve. It's only been 4 months and so I know there are more hard times coming. Korn and Suicidal Tendencies help me heal through all my hard times.
Jonathan has been asked how come he doesn´t use the scatting on every album since it´s kind of his signature. He said that he doesn´t want to overuse it otherwise people would get sick of it. Same with the bagpipes, he tries to not overuse them either. I think I agree with him on that note since it´s always a treat when he uses the scatting and/or plays the bagpipes and I think it has to do with him not using the bagpipes/scatting on every record.
My Dad brought me up on Korn and just as I started caring about music on my own-Korn were the ones that had me go "Hey Dad, these guys WHO THE HECK IS THIS" and it's been love ever since
I dropped KoRn after the great Untouchable album to explore new musical territories but never came back... until this new album which I really appreciate ! This song is one of my favorite, killer chorus. Cheers from France !
Jon has been scatting since the first album on the song "Ball Tongue" and on the second album on the song "Twist". Awesome catch from you. I was waiting to see your reaction to it lol. This album is phenomenal. I've listened to it at least once a day since it came out. I've been a Korn fan since before the first album was released and they just get better and better. Korn 4 Life!
It's funny to think of where it came from. He originally used it to "signify" he was singing from a "high" perspective. Many addict when on a speed high ramble/talk to themselves in the same way.
I've only listened to this a few times, and it's getting almost exponentially better with each listen. Going to dive into the full album after I'm done watching your video.
It sounds like the intro to the first album...almost like it was Fieldy's farewell in music form...it just feels strange to me how he opens up the first album with a riff similar to that one and now he has left the band. They say he needs a break and that he's welcome to come back but you never know, maybe he's done for good...
OOOOOOO! Some new Korn coming out? Awesome stuff! Head got really punchy on this one, love it. I too love the resonation of the power chords in the second half of the verses and not muting them. Gives a great dynamic difference for you to cling to. Thanks, Geebz!
Their sound always takes me back to my 20's when nu metal exploded. I've really been enjoying their new album lately. Lost in the grandeur and my confession are stand outs for me.
Korn is a band that, in my opinion, has aged gracefully. Not all of their songs hit the mark (they've even stated their regret about that... problematic Fred Durst collab), but they're willing to experiment and push their sound... And their lyrics hit as hard as ever. They're not my favorite band (While She Sleeps and Northlane take up that roster), but I have nothing but respect for them.
After seeing this video for the tenth time, i still get the gutteral feeling intensly and you just nail it with all the details..No band i love that you didn`t make a video about, keep going! Ur great
i was at college in the 90's, well, i say at college, the second half of that time i was mostly spent in the pub opposite college, every time i went in the pub i would put snakes and ladders by Korn on the jukebox , im pretty sure it started to piss the regulars off...
it would be my dream if you did a full album breakdown of Untouchables from KoRn. that record has about everything you could possibly want in an album in terms of production and structure. it’s an absolute masterpiece! love your content sir!
i think rays drumtrack here was so fresh and like kinda new IDK just the layout rays does on drums here is really good IMO he def adds the bells and hooks and flair
Brings me back to the late 90', were music was good even on the radio stations. This song really has a meaning! Listen!! I still can't believe they were alloud to produce this song...
Yeeha Geebz!!¡ classic KoRn with a new twist. Luv it, powerful stuff here. Aloha!! This is the Coolest reaction I’ve seen In a long time Geebz!!! Thank you
When I saw these guys open for Metallica, I was amazed at how well they were able to recreate their studio sound, live. Always liked their recorded music, but did not expect them to be SO good live. New song sound great. Hope the member that relapsed earlier this year is doing well (pretty sure I heard one of them had to take some time off for this). Can see this song as a way of helping that healing process. Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
Great video Geebz! I love the variety of bands you cover, I'd like to recommend a few more Gojira tracks. Specifically The Gift of Guilt, Sphinx, or the From Mars to Sirius duo! Looking forward to whatever you cover! Hope the shoulder keeps improving!
I like Korn. Not a real fan though, but this album really needs recognition because it's really well done. The composition and production are top notch imo. Thank you sir for your work ;)
It's certainly better than their last piece of shit. They'll never attain Issue quality of songs again. There is something just quite weak about everything they write now
hey - you've talked so much about oldschool korn and the bass those first albums have, but done more new songs than old ones. i'd really love to see some classic korn action next time. my suggestions - Good god or My gift to you. keep up the good work!
Geebz this isn not their bass player but from Suicidal Tendencies. He can run circles around Fieldy tho Fieldy did popularize that twangy scooped sound
Been a minute since I dropped in, but seeing you react to korn- Well. That's some good stuff. EDIT See alot of people talking about underrated. I think the path of totality was one of their greatest albums, yet see it get a ton of hate. Bleeding Out? Let's go? Illuminati? Sanctuary? Dude. Banger after BANGER, not to mention Get Up and Narcissistic Cannibal- Though those last two, I listened to so much that I'm kinda sick of em. Can play em on demand using my thoughts haha!
Awesome reaction ! If you enjoy Korn and those music styles there is a great band from Japan, they called Dir en Grey. They are one off the greatest metal bands in japan music scene. I can suggest my favourite track DIR EN GREY - VINUSHKA Would be great if you can check them out, defiantly wont disappoint you :)
The middle easterners reminds of the Queen of the Damned OST ( which was really good when Davis would play it at Alone I play ...... Not the album the album covered by other bands was .... Almost as bad as the movie to ne kind )
You should check the album "Always.." first album of the band "The Gathering" from 1992, it's a death/doom metal masterpiece that unfortunately did not been recognized at the time and the band had to change course kinda lost their originality and eventually became lame mainstream. 1st & 4th tracks are very recomended to start but for me and many others its an album that must be listen from the beginning to the end.
Unfortunately they don’t have the original bassist (fieldy) currently because he’s going on a break so we don’t get to hear his signature sound, the current bassist for now is the one from suicidal tendencies
Fieldy is on this record (they finished recording in April last year and he went on a break in June ) but it is true that we don´t get to hear him live, at least for now. I have high hopes that he will be back in the band sooner rather than later. He hasn´t been gone for a year and I think the band will at least offer him what they offered Head when i wanted to leave and that was playing on the records but he doesn´t have to be on tour with them or do any promotional stuff. Of course Head declined at the time but he came back nearly 8 years after he left. 😄
It is tottal choas in mid 2k that's why se can sing that way at we all withness all of us pamdemic natural disasters wars every year storms getting stronger but jonathan davis still the best
I’m a simple man. I see Geebz post Korn. I’m clicking !!
This track is like a walk through Korn's history to current vibe. Nice review man.🤙
Couldn't agree more
I smiled the same when I first heard this song and it hit that part
I'm glad to hear theyre still coming up with good grooves with their 'classic' style. Its so innovative that it stands the test of time.
I never thought I’d see you here! Love your videos, been watching since 2011.
@@GamingBlake2002 Thx :)
Instant classic from a legendary band. A masterpiece.
I'm glad to see that Johnathan is still giving his all with his vocals after that Covid scare he went through.
This was recorded before that
Covid is bs anyway
I saw him right after he had covid. He was still feeling the effects so most of the set he sat in this Kings throne chair, it was awesome!
Covid did take a toll on his potency when singing live, no raspiness, sometimes no growls.
I love his work to death and I will always admire how he continues singing like this, considering he is asthmatic and Covid probably exhausted much of his respiratory system. He is an amazing musician.

This song is layered. It might be Korns most perfect song
Korn has been a special band for me since my teen years. The last two albums are just great
Listen to the song falling away from me by Korn really good harmonies from Jonathan Davis during the breakdown
This album is incredible. It's about healing and working through emotional upheaval. I recently lost my sister and this album is helping me grieve. It's only been 4 months and so I know there are more hard times coming.
Korn and Suicidal Tendencies help me heal through all my hard times.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Jeremy.
I too lost my sister. I get it. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for loss. From one Korn fan to another. My deepest condolences
Check this band bro, looks amazing th-cam.com/video/sbWQZDxOntw/w-d-xo.html

This song is one of my favorite, killer chorus.
Cheers from France !
Their last 4 albums are actually really good. The albums from 2005-2012 weren't that amazing though.
Korn is still the amazing band they were 30 yrs ago 💯🤘🔥
My favorite song off the new album...Great reaction.
Korn one of the best EVER!! JD is one of a kind! Insanely talented and loves what he does! It shows in everything he/they do!!
Way cool you did this song. Johnathan lives down the street from me. They are definitely pushing forward especially now. Get ready for my new band
I'm glad that people are glad
I love this band! He's got such a distinctive voice. I always know when he's singing. Even when I don't know the song ❤
Issues is their best album. Excellent, cover to cover
agree about issues, Requiem is becoming my 2nd favorite with every song sounding excellent cover to cover

@@TheDeadStretch oh shit I never knew that.
My only complaint is that the album is too short. Regardless, 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
How did you discover their music so quickly? Did you grow up near Bakersfield?
I'm definitely digging this kick back track. Just what I was hoping for from these monsters that changed my teenage years in 1994
I've only listened to this a few times, and it's getting almost exponentially better with each listen. Going to dive into the full album after I'm done watching your video.
Their best album in years. Definitely some nice throwback sounds
the only bad thing about the new album is that it is raher short. but every single track is a banger !! literally not a single bad song
@@6ch6ris6 Absolutely
@@6ch6ris6 I said the same thing. I wish the album was an hour longer but I’ll take what I can get.
@@johnfigura1914 I would say The Nothing is their best album they have released since 2002, but to each their own I guess.
My favorite band, THANK YOU!!!
Glad I got to hear this for the first time with you.
Same here! I've been waiting for it specifically!
Thanks for another Korn reaction. This feels like old stuff. I loved it. My favorite band.
That bass at the end is a great callback too
It sounds like the intro to the first album...almost like it was Fieldy's farewell in music form...it just feels strange to me how he opens up the first album with a riff similar to that one and now he has left the band. They say he needs a break and that he's welcome to come back but you never know, maybe he's done for good...
Korn is the best, but still underrated band in world! It's impressive how they are still great even after years on the road! They still rock it!
Not sure how underrated Korn is underrated, probably one of the most well known metal bands in the world formed after 1990.
Super impressive they still rock all these years later
this was ok...much prefer old korn! after follow the leader they havent been the same🤷♂️
Check This band bro, is amazing th-cam.com/video/sbWQZDxOntw/w-d-xo.html
Years? You mean decades.
OOOOOOO! Some new Korn coming out? Awesome stuff! Head got really punchy on this one, love it. I too love the resonation of the power chords in the second half of the verses and not muting them. Gives a great dynamic difference for you to cling to.
Thanks, Geebz!
Please react to Korn make me bad
YESSS best koRn song
That bass outro makes me wanna cry they finally made one more
But now fieldy isn’t present anymore
Took me few times to stick to this song but now i love it
Their sound always takes me back to my 20's when nu metal exploded. I've really been enjoying their new album lately. Lost in the grandeur and my confession are stand outs for me.
Aloha from london ..... Massive respect
Yup, they still have it... Had the same reaction as you as soon as I've seen it.
new korn album is such a blast !!
That chorus is so damn good.
It's been a long time since I've heard a Korn track... I'm back baby!
Heck yes my boyz KoRn!!!
Yes love this one
Love and adore Jonathan so much
its Head and Munky DO music mate. and Fieldy ofcrs. But JD is cool mate)))

Excellent choice sir 🎩
OMGOMG PLS DO MORE KORN 🧡
Killer chorus
My favorite track off the new album. The chorus is just infectious to me! Love the melody.
you gotta listen to more tracks of their new album. so many amazing hooks. "lost in grandeur" has such a cool start
my favorite off Requiem
Let The Dark Do The Rest and Disconnect I think are the 2 best tracks
Adam Jones just gave Munky one of his guitars the other day and I feel like I can hear it in this track already lol
This track was done in 2020/2021
The biggest difference to me in Korn's sound now vs. early Korn is the drummer. David Silveria was an integral part of that signature sound, imo
Thanks great review. Their live version sounds almost the same, so kudos to them too for that.
Thank you Geebz
I love you even more for this ❤️❤️

great review as always man, ever get a chance go see them live, my favorite live ban
not 100% but that last bit might be a tribute to "helmet in the bush"......

This album definitely came out a couple months ago. But it is really good. The video may be new though.
try the MTV unplugged version of throw me away.

I have to say Ray Luzier is the best thing that happened to Korn since they were formed. I think he pulled the bands sound up to a whole new level.
Head's comeback for me, he's been Korn's secret sauce this whole time.
Geebz this isn not their bass player but from Suicidal Tendencies. He can run circles around Fieldy tho Fieldy did popularize that twangy scooped sound
