Lead singer Jon Davis wrote the lyrics to this song about the music industry, which he compares to an owner walking a dog. While he's this freak being paraded around, corporate America is making all the money... and it's taking a part of him.
This may just be *the* most crushing breakdown in music. Tremendous song. I don't understand people who don't appreciate how epic this is. Entertaining video too. :)
Korn started to blow up right as i was about to enter high school. They came out of what seamed like no where with a sound unlike anything at the time and lyrics that really spoke to the outcast kids who didnt fit in.
Fun fact: Todd McFarlane did the animation/drawings for this video. He is the creator of Spawn (comics, along with other titles under his artistry). Korn was on the Spawn movie soundtrack, a collab song with the Dust Brothers called "Kick The P.A." - KoRn is one of my fave bands, for sure. Each album is a gem. Life Is Peachy, Follow The Leader and Issues are the top 3 albums by KoRn. They are amazing live.
KoRn nuTT We gotta ease him into it - cant be taking him straight to the dark side, we gotta acclimate him - like introducing a little fish into a very dark aquarium
KoRn nuTT Man, I’ve seen a lot of reaction channels dive straight into Daddy - Vin and Sori did, it messed that girl up, she wasnt ready for it. Vin knew about it tho.
I'm Filipino, back when I was in H.S '95-99 my peers never understood me why I listened and rocked to their songs at school, a Christian school. Hehe. I'm 37 now with 2 children & I still rock to them on my spotify playlist. Felt nostalgic watching the video once again. Try reacting to their video GOT THE LIFE.
The lead singer curated and cowrote the "Queen of the Damned" soundtrack. Some of the artist you've been listening to are on the soundtrack. You could tell it's designed after his style once you've heard it. It'll remind you of this song.
The next Korn song to react to has to be "coming undone"! The meaning of "freak on a leash" that I've heard is that it's about the music business/fame and not being allowed to do everything you want and having to do things you don't want to do.
Korn has been my number 1 fav band for over 20 years followed by Slipknot. Definitely check out here to stay, coming undone and their new album just released is great! Their song "Blind" woodstock show is another dope video to check out.
"Thoughtless" is my favorite Korn song! Jesse Pinkman is the main character of the video, way before Breaking Bad came out 😁💜 loving the channel as always
Funny that you said “Children of the Corn” because there’s a track called Children of the Korn that features Ice Cube on this same album. You should listen to it.
Damn dude! You just blew my mind with that bullet symbolizing him being the "freak on a leash". I got this album as soon as it dropped and been and old school Korn fan since they started and I seen this video a billion times and that thought never even crossed my mind. I had another, personal, subjective view on it but yeah my dude. That's awesome.
One of my fav bands of all time, been following them since they started, and the only band I have seen in concert. I nearly got crushed , had no feet on the floor it was crazy.
I remember how old dudes are always like “damn now this song takes me back” Well... damn this song takes me back. 16 working at McDonald’s summer time of 99. This is when I really started to pay attention to the true beauty of music. How it grabs your effin brain and bleeds straight into your soul. Giving you goosebumps. Like yeah feel this.
Korn "Blind" at Woodstock 99' The best crowd footage ever. No cell phones. 500,000 people jumping like liquid. Korn was at the height of metal and are still selling out shows today!!
Ok so this video won a bunch awards from MTV for best video etc... If you listen to this song on a good system it bumps hard!!! HUGE fan of Korn. Seen then 7 times live
Check out "All in the Family" Its off the same album as this song and it has Korn and Limp Bizkit going back and forth in a diss track : D its one of my favorites
1:12 hahahha they actually have a song called Children Of The KoRn! you should definitely check it out (it has some funky rap metal vibes featuring Ice Cube so I'm sure you'll like it) great reaction as always, keep it up!
Hey man! You gotta watch "Korn- Falling Away From Me" now. The video starts right as this one ENDS. So, they connect. Plus, it's one of the dopest songs ever.
When Korn first came out in 94.. radio stations were afraid to play them cause they were too real and hardcore.. then they gave in.. Korn are innovaters, they created a whole musical movement and many bands tried to copy their sound and image.. Korn and ice cube have done a few tracks together.. funny you said Children of the Corn.. there is a song of that title featuring ice cube.. And Korn is on an album with ice cube.. song title "Fuck Dying" Dr. Dre, Snoop, and and a few others are in a limpbizkit video with Korn.. I love how all them boys from the West coast were homies
React to Smile Empty Soul: - "Bottom of a Bottle" - "Silhouettes" - "This is War" - "Nowhere Kids" I promise you won't regret listening to this band. They'll remain on your playlist for years to come!
I love how you listen to a bunch of songs from a band shortly after you first react to them. It gives you such a better picture of what that band is like than any one song could. Smart way to do it, and something I don't see any other reaction channels really doing.
first time I've seen your channel, I love seeing people willing to expand their musical horizons. you have a very awesome presence on camera. great video. new subscriber 😊
If you study the lyrics, he says "you'll never see me far from grace. Something takes a part of me, you and I were meant to be, a cheap fuck for me to lay, something takes a part of me." The background voice over the song says "you want to see the light, so do I" in the chorus, the word grace has 2 different meanings. You will never see me far from grace means you will never see me far from the light (the truth) explained by the background voice. The second meaning of far from grace can be interpretated as a female described by the lyrics "a cheap fuck for me to lay" but there is so much more to this song.
Bruh, I just found your channel. Just wanted to say it’s incredible to see you reacting for the first time to this music that has been in my life for decades. You’ve helped me rediscover how great and impactful this music is. Keep up the good work!
Im so happy you did this song. This song makes me feel like a dark sinister. I'm a masochist and I live this feeling. Hope I can share with others that type of bad side
The band is the freak on a leash.. this song is about the music industry or record companies
😅THANKS😅
Which then also goes into "yall want a single", since they were bound by some restricting contracts
Ya about them being whored out by the labels. Hence the line "a cheap fuck for me to lay"
Rob Esposito I’ll be honest and admit I never understood the lyrics to that part, and I finally get it now after 20 years. Cheers, my dude.✌️
I thought the song was about Brian Welch's sexual/romantic experiences, but the record label thing makes alot of sense.
Dude, you wouldn't believe how big of a deal these guys were when this album first dropped - the whole musical landscape warped around them!
He is not wrong, they changed Rock music!
Wasnt even a big Korn fan AT ALL during the late 90s, but as i got older i started to appreciate what they gave us.
They are the Rabbit Hole till this day. Last time I saw Head he was on Huckabee and Johnathan was on Alex Jones.
@@AClark-jx9zp when was this? Davis on Jones show?
They started a whole new genre and sound.
Lead singer Jon Davis wrote the lyrics to this song about the music industry, which he compares to an owner walking a dog. While he's this freak being paraded around, corporate America is making all the money... and it's taking a part of him.
👍🏾
"FALLING AWAY FROM ME" is the 2nd half to this!
+1 it continues the music video and is an amazing song!!!
I would recommend this video as well as Here to Stay.
This may just be *the* most crushing breakdown in music.
Tremendous song. I don't understand people who don't appreciate how epic this is. Entertaining video too. :)

“They got these kids out here lookin like children of the corn” kinda the point, they literally have a song called ‘Children of the Korn’ lol
You have now entered the wormhole known as KoRn, I can't wait for more 🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
KoRn nuTT We gotta ease him into it - cant be taking him straight to the dark side, we gotta acclimate him - like introducing a little fish into a very dark aquarium
@@narcissistectomy5134 I know you're right but I just want to see him dive in, I don't see alot of people doing reactions to KoRn
@@KoRn_NuTT Hell I'd use to reaction of this song in school and id didn't care
KoRn nuTT Man, I’ve seen a lot of reaction channels dive straight into Daddy - Vin and Sori did, it messed that girl up, she wasnt ready for it. Vin knew about it tho.
@@narcissistectomy5134 I've seen all of em, look at my name
Korn ft ice cube.. "children of the corn"
Check it
And All in the Family.
check it twice
Ice Cube ft. Korn, “fuck dying”
Deftones "digital bath" "rosemary" "knifeparty" "my own summer" "change in the house of flies" "passenger" "diamond eyes" "shut up and drive"
I'm Filipino, back when I was in H.S '95-99 my peers never understood me why I listened and rocked to their songs at school, a Christian school. Hehe. I'm 37 now with 2 children & I still rock to them on my spotify playlist. Felt nostalgic watching the video once again. Try reacting to their video GOT THE LIFE.
There's so many layers to metal you've only scratched the surface.
Like to see ya review Gorillaz’s “Clint Eastwood” and “Feel Good Inc”.
He probably would even know these but yes react to this
Oh yeah!!!!
"stylo" a personal favorite of mine
Good call, Love Gorillaz!!
A.D.I.D.A.S by Korn would be sick
Oh hell yeah
Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!
Twist lol
(sic)*
@Jack D as much as I like that song, the video is just gross sorry to say.
This video being played on MTV in the late 90's had a big impact on a 13-14 year old me. It started me down the rabbit hole of Heavy metal 🤘🏽
Instant "I like that beat" face, my first reaction 20 years ago too. XD THOSE GOOSEBUMPS THO
The lead singer curated and cowrote the "Queen of the Damned" soundtrack. Some of the artist you've been listening to are on the soundtrack. You could tell it's designed after his style once you've heard it. It'll remind you of this song.
This takes me back to my high school days, I guess I was 17 years old when this came out. Damn I'm old, I'm 39 now.
The next Korn song to react to has to be "coming undone"!
The meaning of "freak on a leash" that I've heard is that it's about the music business/fame and not being allowed to do everything you want and having to do things you don't want to do.
Everything on issues
Korn has been my number 1 fav band for over 20 years followed by Slipknot. Definitely check out here to stay, coming undone and their new album just released is great! Their song "Blind" woodstock show is another dope video to check out.
The bullet is NOT the freak. Jonathan Davis is the freak.
"Thoughtless" is my favorite Korn song! Jesse Pinkman is the main character of the video, way before Breaking Bad came out 😁💜 loving the channel as always
You should try Blind, Here to Stay, Throw me Away.
Yes! blind.
Good God, Need To, Make Me Bad, and Embrace are others I’d recommend on top of yours.
Blind and that whole first album is one my all time favorites.
@@dla0620 their first album is great. I was so obsessed with this band when I was a teen.
but the Thoughtless video has Jesse Pinkman in it!
Please do more Korn! I’m a huge fan!! Coming Undone, Falling Away From Me, Make Me Bad. All good!!
I've been asking forever
Absolutely love watching people react to this song lol The metal beat boxing part is gold. Classic. Always will be one of my favorite songs.
it's gave you the goosebumps.thats why I don't change the music from the 90 and 2000..
Gotta check out “Got the Life” by Korn.
That gets my blood pumping every time I hear it. Always on my gym playlist
Korn is one of my favorite bands! Their untouchables album helped me through some depression when it was released.
Funny that you said “Children of the Corn” because there’s a track called Children of the Korn that features Ice Cube on this same album. You should listen to it.
fun fact: The video was drawn by Todd Mcfarlane, the father of Spawn and also drew spiderman for many years.. My favourite cartoonist.
Korn - Daddy. It’ll really make u emotional. A terrifying song with a discussing experience for the singer
This song is a real challenge, I teared up several times
Maybe their best song ever.
I suggest this the other day, and some ass told me, "it would be wrong for the channel"!
@@jam2190 well it's not really positive vibes is it 😅 maybe that's the reason this person was thinking like that
@@richtigersoan no, but also a few song on here are not " positive vibes" now are they??
I forgot how much I loved Korn. Thank you for reacting to this
The sequel to this video is "Falling Away From Me" - picks up where this one left off. Gotta react!!
This band got me into being a musician.
Damn dude! You just blew my mind with that bullet symbolizing him being the "freak on a leash". I got this album as soon as it dropped and been and old school Korn fan since they started and I seen this video a billion times and that thought never even crossed my mind. I had another, personal, subjective view on it but yeah my dude. That's awesome.
These guys are brilliant! Love, love!
korn is still my favorite band this was that shit back in the late 90s
One of my fav bands of all time, been following them since they started, and the only band I have seen in concert. I nearly got crushed , had no feet on the floor it was crazy.
I remember how old dudes are always like “damn now this song takes me back”
Well... damn this song takes me back.

Love Korn I been a fan for over 20 years ❤️
Now you’ve gotta review their song “blind” at Woodstock. I will await your priceless reaction
so glad you viewed them! dive deeper bro! they had alot of dope songs back in the day! glad to be here as always!
Well now you need to watch the second part of this story, video-wise at least, by reacting to Falling Away From Me.
Sweet 🤘... One of my favorite bands🖤.... Thanks, love your reactions 😁
I’d like to see a reaction to “Ya’ll want a single”
Dude! So love the fact your face can’t hide how you feel about a beat! Plz,keep doing what you are doing! Xo
Love that i lived during a time when this kind of shit got to the top of the charts, what a classic, both the video and the song.
Man I just gotta say it’s a joy watching you react to music and discover new stuff and see how much joy it gives you!
Gotta love that heavy music that has a groove instead of just headbanging. Getting older so I just do light head banging now😂. Badass song
Omg such a beautiful music video, ridiculously beautiful
Oh you going off the deep end now.......good luck!!
😅
I thought the same thing. 😂 Keep an eye out for our man. That rabbit hole is deep. lol
Korn "Blind" at Woodstock 99' The best crowd footage ever. No cell phones. 500,000 people jumping like liquid. Korn was at the height of metal and are still selling out shows today!!
"Got these kids looking like children of the corn out here...."!!!
I'm DEAD !!!!!!
React to "Blind" live at Woodstock 🔥🕶🤯
Can't wait for this " I'm dead" shit dies off lol
LOL when the scat part was going, it was funny to see you headbanging a little bit.
Ok so this video won a bunch awards from MTV for best video etc... If you listen to this song on a good system it bumps hard!!! HUGE fan of Korn. Seen then 7 times live
Loved this reaction man it truly reminds me of the first time I heard freak on a leash. Thanks for appreciating korn!
This song is really heavy because they confirmed it's about child sexual abuse. Korn was woke way back in the day.
I could never limit the number of Korn songs I recommend. So many greats! Still going strong ...
Korn Rocks! Love their songs and Limp Bizkit has some good ones too!
Everyone hates on Bizket but they have some bangers
Love me some Biz Limpkit 🔥🤘🔥
While I’m not a huge fan myself, they do have some good stuff.
Break stuff by limp bizkit would be a good one to check out.
Check out "All in the Family"
Its off the same album as this song and it has Korn and Limp Bizkit going back and forth in a diss track : D its one of my favorites
FUN FACT
KoRn won an MTV Music Award for this music video. It's epic.
This brings back some great late 90's teenage angst! Still holds up
One of my favorite music videos of all time.
Nobody:
Jonathan Davis: Da boom na da noom na namena
This was GOLD! I forgot how AWESOME this song is! Thanks Jamal!
1:12 hahahha they actually have a song called Children Of The KoRn! you should definitely check it out (it has some funky rap metal vibes featuring Ice Cube so I'm sure you'll like it)
great reaction as always, keep it up!
😳WOW! 🤣
The Children of the Korn segments were animated by Todd Mcfarlane, who created Spawn. He also did the cover for Disturbed 10,000 Fists.
More Korn Please 👍
YESSSSSSS
Dude props to you your always putting out great new content it seems new stuff all the time much respect
I saw these guys live in August with Alice in Chains, and that "GO!" after the beatboxing (screamboxing) amd the whole crowd just started jumping.
Hell yes! I love watching you love them!
You should react to Falling Away From Me, its technically part 2 of this video
thank you for doing Korn and this song! lots of good ones keep going! plz!! :)

@@kikstand2011 Still and always will be my all time favorites!
Love seeing some Korn on here. Thanks for the content!
This is still one of the dopest videos I've ever seen
👍🏾
Korn is one of those bands that comes on the radio, you have you hand on the knob to turn it but you never do and end up bopping your head to it
React to Smile Empty Soul:
- "Bottom of a Bottle"
- "Silhouettes"
- "This is War"
- "Nowhere Kids"
I promise you won't regret listening to this band. They'll remain on your playlist for years to come!
Man every time the 3rd chorus comes around i go f***ing nuts, this song is so important to me.
I love your open-minded attitude and your appreciation of all music. Way to show the way! Check out Primus - Too Many Puppies!
I love how you listen to a bunch of songs from a band shortly after you first react to them. It gives you such a better picture of what that band is like than any one song could. Smart way to do it, and something I don't see any other reaction channels really doing.
The unglugged version with amy lee is amazing
Yes love it use to listen to them all the time
React to Lisa Loeb - Stay, that s**t is soo hardcore man, you don't even know!
I'm glad you like the music your fans choose, brings back memories man, thanks for thst and I hope you enjoy more
The videos rarely have anything to do with the song meanings.
Muy bueno amigo, que recuerdos del 2000!!!! SOAD, Korn, LB, deftones! muy buena epoca!
6:13 😂 love your reactions yea Korn is badass
Back in the day, I saw Marilyn Manson/Korn/Danzig back in Colorado Springs. That was a hell of a show.
You should listen to A Different World by Korn
I mean, it has a Corey Taylor feature
I love your videos brother, Im glad I found ya recently.. 🇺🇸💪 stay blessed
React to System of a down - radio/video
He did some last week. ✌🏼

Im not a Korn fan, but your reaction made it enjoyable dude..

Im so happy you did this song. This song makes me feel like a dark sinister. I'm a masochist and I live this feeling. Hope I can share with others that type of bad side
