What can I say? I think it's awesome. Seeing Lil John, Snoop Dogg and Xzibit playing various band members just cracks me up. I think it's one of the coolest things out there right now. It's funny, it rocks, it's poignant in places. It makes me wish they were a really a band! I'm not the biggest fan of any of these guys, although I do like Snoop. But something about the way all of this works together is just brilliant.

I dont like Korn, but this video is cool made indeed!!

..actually I'm with you Gangsta..When I 1st saw the video, I thought it was a new Bad Brains video..Hopefully thru that video, it might get more black kids into picking up a instrument and jamming. If Snoop had his fro', he'd look a little like a young Eddie Hazel (Funkadelic).

why would you lose major cred? sounds like a cool vid.

Korn's first album is a classic, the rest is not worth mentioning.

A lot of folks hate anything nu-metal.

I guess I would be one of those people, but the first Korn album was some next level shit. I gotta admit it was hot when I first heard it.

Korn is alright. I loved the video the first time I saw it. Cool idea.

I'd say they're better than most doing a similar kind of music.

I guess they had alotta copycats with adidas, dreads, homeboy shit (see Limp Bizkit, deftones, Linkin...) but around 94 before I heard the term new metal and really post commercial FNM you had bands like Downset who took that style to next level. a scandinavian band called Clawfinger
Rage was ofcourse the flagship, but I thought Korn were gonna be exceptional, boy was I wrong.

I like the sound when it works (see Faith No More, 24-7 Spyz.....)


anybody know the reggae styled Metal band Dubwar?

Yeah, I know dubwar, used to see 'em play quite a lot a number of years back.

Clawfinger - fuck me, that takes me back. I could never take them seriusly because of the oh-so-serious way the lead singer would sing to the camera in this totally OTT way that just mad everything seem like a joke, or surreal - or both

I remember when Korn first started making ripples in the rock press and bought their album and it blew my nipples off. Amazing. I went to see them play Donnington Monsters of Rock that year, and the promoters had made the mistake of putting them on the smaller stage (BIG mistake!) everybody leged it across the field to watch them and they were simply amazing. Met Johnny Davis backstage afterwards and shook the man's hand.

The album is a modern classic - I certainly wouldn't term it 'nu-metal' as I can't stand the term, and I'd imagine they fuckin' hate it too frankly. It's just balls-to-the-floor rock. 'Daddy' shocked the hell out of me and really moved me, same as 'faget' - being Gay, I got it, it never ceased to amaze me the amount of tesosterone-filled metal airhead kids I'd hear at concerts singing it with such venom that you just knew that they didn't get it!

'Korn' is still unlike anything out there - before or since, I think they've never recaptured the sheer brilliance and magic of this album, it's just bloody captivating beginning to end, and deserves every bit of praise heaped upon it.

exactly, that album was about aggression for the outsiders like ME , anyway when they blew up they became a band for teenage jocks, ashame.

you know the song Anger by Downset, that was some next level shit right there.

lilgish said:

I love it when you say that.

GangstaFam said:

I Got that from the world's greatest entertainer

I like Korn. I can't listen to 'em all the time but they got some cool stuff. AS far as nu-metal goes if they are considered that then they were one of the originators of it. And my like for the genre starts and stops with them. Unless you consider Rage Against the Machine coz I like them as well.
