I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here.
As a black woman whose listened to Korn for over a decade, your reaction is HILARIOUS! I be tryna tell everyone to get into it
Korn is for everyone 😎🤘🤘🤘
Why you gotta emphasize the black 😂 ? Music like this was normal for me all my life. I'm sure plenty of us listen to stuff outside of rap and rnb.
Korn be having that groove 😭 it’ll get ya
About 27 yrs deep for me 😂
@@razheer100usually cause ppl don’t realize where this type of music or rock in general came from and how it evolved from black culture in the 1st place
Korn is considered Nu-Metal, they were the pioneers of it. Slap funk bass lines. Turntable inspired guitars. They took metal to new places. Also, lyrically they were rawer than a lot of metal contemporaries. I've been working through a lot of childhood trauma and Korn helps because Johnathan's been through it too.
Linkin Park, rage against the machine, Korn, limp Bizkit, beastie boys, nu-metal goats and pioneers
Especially a song like Daddy. That is almost impossible to listen to for me, it's less of a song and more of a tattoo on his heart. The album follow the leader helped me process a LOT of trauma growing up, most of the times I would listen to it while I walked and i'd just space out. I like how he is like "you can't sit still!" but if you have ever had a screwed up childhood and really listen to the lyrics... man it just expresses your emotions like steam coming out of a boiling kettle, you don't need to do anything but just listen.
Korn has helped emotionally and mentally more than I probably know they are way more impactful in culture and with helping kids mentally than they get credit for
@@ericwilliams2546 daddy helped me through so much I’ve been forcefully sa’d but never told anyone but the song makes me feel like I’m not the only one feeling the way I do about it jd genuinely is like a friend that I don’t know if I’m being real
Well said.
Damn, I am a rock fan but I never gave Korn a chance but seeing the raw hype this song caused changed my mind
Korn is fucking excellent (A fan of most things between Nickleback and Metallica's more slow stuff)
Most of Korn sounds like this song, so if you liked it, you will like most of their stuff :>
I’m sort of the same bro. I’m 35 and people all around me listened to it but O got into them a few years ago.
Yo I grew up with KORN and they are the very definition of RAW HYPE. They got you so excited and pumped up, they were a start to your day!!!!!
@@Desu-Desu-Chan-San wtf lmao
Korn got me through high school... growing up in a terribly abusive household. This is what calmed me down enough to see that light was left in the world.
Many yes. Korn & Metallica eases the pain.
@@KyleCollins-ny4emSlipknot, Korn, Ac/dc, and Pantera
Same for me. My childhood was complete chaos and Korn came at just the right time for me.
Excactly, music like this kept me from either killing myself of literally ripping the faces off the assholes who were bullying me for years.
I’m glad you found peace in their music
Fun fact: A young Eminem is in the music video for this song (he's one of the extras), and he had tried to pass a demo tape to one of the members (I believe Jonathon Davis) who was too out of it on drugs at the time to care. Apparently it's been a minor point of regret on their part.
This is wild af! Wow
Close bro, but it was Korns guitarist, James "Munky" Shaffer who he tried to pass a demo to during the filming of this music video!
True facts, though probably not the time they were into getting demos. Have heard in retrospect they feel they missed an opportunity
Lol "White music"... for some face melting guitar, listen to some Van Halen, Ain't Talkin' about Love, Hot for Teacher, Eruption...
@@paulferries4811 Lmao bruh, guitar has evolved a lot in the 60 years since that music was released. Its not face melting at all anymore. Its actually intro level guitar skills these days. Sorry to tell you. Modern guitar music is many times over more complicated, difficult and original. Even Steve Vai himself admits the new waves of music are beyond him.
Their whole set at Woodstock '99 was INSANE! Korn was in their peak era and the crowd was MENTAL!
Their one at Sydney BDO was good too.
I wish I was there
This is how you hope a friend reacts when you show them a song you love lol love your energy
Haha yes
I love watching him become a serious fan of the genre
Their bassist is amazing the way he slaps the bass. Full of energy
Fkn love me some fieldy honestly wish we got a longer bass breakdown then we got in the song cuz that bass and drums slap
If you're digging Korn and want another one "Freak on a Leash" is great, and has a great video!
Also, if you dug this, I'd love to see your reaction to "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson
oh shit gonna' hit him with Beautiful people already, that song goes hard as fuuuuuuuuccckkk.
@@MagicH8balls HAF!!!!!! I think it helps to delve a bit deeper into Marilyn Manson as a whole bit yes Beautiful People is a great place to start.
I hope if he does do Beautiful people, he'll react to the song and not the video bc it takes away from the reaction imo when dealing with MM
Absolutely. Twisted Transistor.
Aw fsck great rec. I still listen to Beautiful People today. I feel like it's kind of the "This is America" of that time. Zeitgeist, truth, and backlash. XD
Your joy is so contagious and I love it. I have heard this jam a zillion times and it felt brand new watching your video! Stay awesome, bright soul!
Thank you! Glad u enjoyed it!
Yes!! Same!!
Korn goes deep with the lyrics. Kinda like Rage Against the Machine, but more personal than political. You really should pull the lyrics up. But they do kick ass. I saw them live once, and it was a hell of a show. Freak On a Leash, Somebody, Someone; There's a lot of great stuff. Blind. No one sounded like Korn when they hit, man. They blew our minds. It wasn't grunge....it was kinda metal....it was NuMetal. Something we had never heard before.
I'll agree with you, KORN could tap into that raw emotional energy but RAGE has a real and tangible message, at least politically. KORN was emotion RAGE was thought.
Whatever he does. He shouldn't react to Daddy.
Rage ain’t got shit on korn
Mhm, ive always said korn is an emotional experience, especially for survivors of childhood r@pe. Ive never felt more heard, lots of his lyrics really resonate with me
@@zachinthehat1707rage with the machine these days. Top notch sell outs. These days they can eat my farts
As I life long fan(I’m 41 and been listening to them since my mid teens) I would say that Freak on a leash is a must listen to for a KoRn newbie, however Blind was their career launcher and to this day no other song (in my opinion) has an intro that generates so much tension, which begs only one question “are you ready?”
41 here too! Remember road tripping with my parents 1000 miles listening to this and metallica on my walkman the whole way!
I can remember when mix tapes were a must for every road trip and used to inwardly laugh torturing my non-metal friends with loads of nu metal stuff Kitties ‘what I always wanted’ was always a great song for generating a WTF is this response 😂
Just got goosebumps reading "Are you ready?" 🔥❤️🔥🤘🔥❤️🔥
I concur, Blind should be a staple in reaction/first time for Korn. got me hyped for my football games during pre game
It's Blind and Predictable for me.
So glad you enjoyed this song! Been bumping a lot of Korn in the gym recently. As others have suggested definitely check out Freak On A Leash next by Korn
I second freak on a leash, a classic korn song and sick af
Adidas as well love bumping korn in the gymmm
Korn was hands down THE best concert I’ve ever seen! The energy from both the band and the crowd was incredible
I love your videos
Saw them at Aftershock in 2016 and the fact he does all the lyrics live, no studio tricks at all, was amazing! So ready to see them again this year!
I saw them 8 years ago opening for Avenged Sevenfold. I could not hold my head up the next day. It was a BANGERRRR
I've always loved this one because David Silveria's drums are played like the lead instrument. At least it's what I always focus on. I agree with what you said about starting the day with this one because I've had it on all my morning playlists, for work or whatever I need to get done early, for a few years now.
As far as Korn goes, you should consider reacting to "Falling Away From Me", "Thoughtless", "A.D.I.D.A.S.", "Freak On A Leash", or "Make Me Bad". I mean there's tons more, but those would be decent to start with. In the nu-metal genre, I'd love to see you react to Slipknot "Spit It Out", or Mudvayne "Dig".
Yeah I think he'll be surprised at how hard "Spit it Out" and "Dig" could be.. and Corey rapping. I wanna see him react to that haha
So many things! Agreed!
Here to stay
*KORN IS LIKE THE DIR EN GREY OF AMERICA*
They will always be good without having to be mainstream. They will have a few songs that make it mainstream but will always stay true to their style
Hit us with:
Man In The Box by Alice In Chains
Walk by Pantera
Master of Puppets by Metallica
If you liked Korn this much, you’ll love these!!!
*Man in the Box
Maybe not Pantera. Phil Anselmo is a white supremacist
That Alice in Chains reaction should drop tomorrow!
@@HollywoodRobTV you won’t be disappointed! Love seeing you react to and embrace this genre of music. It’s like you’re re-introducing me to how ass-kicking this music is. Rock on 🤘🏼
Engine No. 9 by Deftones
I've been listening to Korn since 94 when their first CD came out and I've been hooked since day one. They are a killer band with so much talent and interesting music and lyrics. \m/ welcome to the club dude you're now gonna wanna listen to their entire catalog.
Yaaaaas 🙌 freak on a leash, coming undone and so much more!
More please
There's a good bit more songs by KORN for you to try yet: Right Now__Y'all Want A Single__Did My Time__Blind__Freak On A Leash__Shoots and Ladders__Coming Undone__Here To Stay__Did My Time__Somebody Someone__Make Me Bad__and more.
Definitely got to check out Y'all Wanna Single
@@tsorraught Say...
Bro you really made me smile and dance along with you man like I've known that song for a long time but seeing you experience for the first time is like reliving it all over again vicariously thank you
Yessssssssss!!! More Korn!!! Your energy is great and Korn is legendary.
This was my first favourite metal song
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your reaction videos... I'm on my 13th one and can't stop. They're absolutely AMAZING-- these songs you're reviewing are part of my teenage / college years and watching you experience them for the first time is allowing me to hear them again with new ears. Thank you for not only taking this journey on but also sharing it with the world... the way you're breaking down the song as you listen is totally taking me back to the feelings I had when first listening to them (but with a better perspective)! And you've made me laugh harder today than I've laughed in months! Thank you for these!
I love to jam this song on a nice summer evening with the sunroof open just cruising around in my ride for fun..
Now imagine seeing them, do this live! Yeah, Korn is a whole different vibe.
This is the best reaction video I ever seen.
Bro, that was a fantastic job by you my man 👍. You made my day.
I listened to this as I go asleep when I was a teen girl. I went from Hansen to Korn!! I love that you need to hold your headphones, check out how Jon Davis bangs his dreads, it's epic!!!
It's one of their more light hearted songs but so catchy it instantly became a fan favourite and always gets played at concerts.
I'll echo other comments suggesting Freak On A Leash.
Korn was the 1st metal band I bought a CD for and got deep into metal from there, love the reaction! Pure honesty as always and jamming still
Got the Life is on of my favorite tracks by Korn it fr makes me happy to see you enjoy it
So glad you did this. It's my favorite Korn song. If you listen to more of their stuff they are heavy on bass and drums. They are dope af to see live. I highly recommend.
One of my favorite bands! I often play them for my workouts. I’d recommend the songs “Blind”, “Falling away from me”, “here to stay”, and my personal favorite “Oildale(Leave me alone). Also their latest album is awesome as well.
Bro you are literally taking a trip down my high school memory lane 😂
Korn-Blind(Live WoodStock 99) would blow your mind bro. No joke. Like literal chills, on g.
Agreed! The energy was palpable
Dude you're my new favorite CZcamsr. Period. LOVE korn, rage, beastie boys!💜💜💜
this is the song/album that solidified my love for metal. I was 13... It was a glorious summer.
As a metalhead its so interesting seeing people from different backgrounds label this "hard" but we know the genre can go so much harder. Then again, a black metal fan probably sees me this way too
Man, I could watch your reactions all day long lol. Love seeing someone discovering these classics with such enthusiasm. It's like getting to feel them again for the first time. Cheers, man. Subscribed
Lived in Long Beach when these guys hit. Jonathan was renting an apartment across the street but I think all of them lived nearby. Fieldy had an old orange convertible Rolls Royce low rider cruisin’ around Belmont Shores. Dope AF.
Homie has his head phones on backwards. 🎉 I love your energy and everything about your reactions I’ve watched.
🤣😂🤣😂 you got me crying 😭 over here on this one. Comedy. Song always been heat 🔥
Rob. Rob. Dude, your charisma and energy is unlimited! I love seeing you succeed with everything you touch bro. You are so talented and nothing can hold you down.
I remember watching them live on MTV for Woodstock '99 as a kid.
I kinda forgot about Korn and then a few years back wondered about them and listened to all their new shit and they have only gotten more awesome imho!
I just watched your reaction to Freak on a Leash, and THIS is the switch-up you were waiting for. On the album it's a one-two punch of Freak on a Leash slamming straight into this. The track order sets you on a rollercoaster
So excited to watch this reaction...
There are so many Korn songs you need to hear..
Edit:
Loved the react, I still get just as hyped as I did when it came out.
You need to check out Blind from their first Album,
also A.D.I.D.A.S but not as react, lyrics and YT algorithms wouldn't get along
Hell yeah I grew up with Korn. They are from the city I am from. So it was hard not to hear about them. Such an amazing band!! Great reaction fam!
You're head bangin now!!! Love it!
I saw them in 95 in Costa Mesa, CA. Korn kid ever since
Just found your channel. KORn is one of my all time favorite bands. Great Energy Bro!!! Welcome to the Metal World
My favorite reaction so far. They are my favorite ever. I’ve seen them at least 30 times and just bought tickets for this fall
they’re so rhythmically talented ❤
1997...I was 16yrs old..n introduced to Korn🤘🤘🤘still jamming em🤘🤘🤘🤘
Korn is my favorite band of all time so im glad you liked it 😊😊😊
Metal is always had a special place in my heart . It's woven in my soul.
David and Fieldy together brought so much groove to Korn records.
As far as Korn goes, "Freak on a Leash" was great and really popular. If you want to wander off beaten path a little, "Did My Time" is my favorite but you may want a kick bag or something to hit close by the first time you hear it.
Listen to "right now" from them. I feel like I can run through a brick wall whenever it comes on. Great workout track.
Your reaction was amazing 🤘
First hear corn as a 12 year old and never went back 😍
I had the same reaction when it first came out! 🤣 I screamed, laughed, moved. It was so unique.
Got the life is the perfect fist time listen to korn 😂 glad you enjoyed it 🤘
Looking forward to the Freak on a Leash reaction video. The music video is my favourite of all-time.
Favorite Band of My Childhood. Forever.
Every day I see more, that 90th metal was rap in hard, hard clothing! We loved it for that!
I've been head banging to this band since I was five❤❤❤
We are getting you little by little my friend lol. Great reaction by the way!
Korn is ... impossible to remove from the personality of modern rock music. They are absolutely a key peice in building the Nu-Metal wave of the 2000s into metalcore and so much more later in the 2000s. Every single modern group in Djent, or Progressive rock, or any of the niche metal genres owes Korn practically everything.
Korn, Slipknot, Disturbed, Mushroomhead, Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium. What a time.
I 1,000% played this on my cd Walkman, headphones blaring on the bus & walking the hallways in high-school. Sometimes while tripping on lsd. Yep. The 90's were nuts.
Something to consider. When Follow The Leader came out, we were all getting round in cars with massive subwoofers and trying to shake them tf apart with heavy bass - Korn used 7 string guitars tuned down with specially made amps and had a massive low end growl that you won't necessary get on pc speakers and headphones.
When I discovered Korn, I was kinda shocked and thrilled. I traded CD's with another platoon member in basic training one weekend, and I wanted something "harsh". The other guy said "yeah, they're pretty harsh". Korn absolutely delivered. Smash some turntable skills together with brutal, angry metal; and stir in some 80's and 90's rap presentation, and you end up with some amazing sounds completely unlike anything the world ever produced. The only other band that ever affected me as much was Nirvana.
Also, "I write sins not tragedies" is an amazing song, NGL.
This song is on my lifting playlist. You’re right about not being able to just chill listening to it. It gives me that pump
The band was actually afraid of this song...
It's mostly because of the weird "disco" drum beat, which was so different from the rest of their catalogue (much heavier metal).
Anyways, they were genuinely afraid that this song could be death of them because they thought their hardcore fans would hate it and consider it too poppy for their standards.
"Got the life" ended up becoming one of their biggest hits.
White boy here. We used to smoke and chill a lot while listening to Korn
Bruh...that metal...it's starting to get ya. You're starting to really "get it". What an awesome thing to watch. 🤘🤘
Dude, for your next Korn reaction it's gotta be Freak on a Leash. Especially since you're loving Rage Against the Machine. RATM taking hip-hop influences to metal were the inspiration that started the nu-metal genre that Korn pioneered. The hip hop influence in Freak is clear and it's widely considered their greatest song.
Another great video, Korn was my band in the 90’s and 2000’s and their catalogue is amazing, check out these other Korn songs: Shoots and Ladders, Adidas, and Clown
Can’t wait to see your reaction to Jinjer - Pisces
Korn a bunch of awesome songs. Keep exploring
Another great review! I would suggest checking out The Smashing Pumpkins. They have a lot of great tracks, including "1979".
He’ll love the hell out of Zero I think, or any of the heavier stuff from Mellon Collie!
Today and bullet with butterfly wings
people around 18 years old in 1990 had a great time with music in that decade let me tell you. I adore the 70's and 80's but i was mind blowed by the 90's music. Nothing damn compare!! lol
Yo Big Hollywood! Good shit to you and Uncle Valle wit the Capcom Cup draw it was mad fun. Can you try listening to Disturbed “the sickness” or “stupify”. You will love them if you like Korn and Slipknot
Thanks, family and bet! I've heard about Disturbed a few times now. I'll do one of or both of those songs for vids!
Just got into Korn about a year ago. DAMN they have some good stuff!
they were the first concert i ever went to. i was 15 and i learned what a moshpit is the hard way lol
If you like guitar solos you need to react to eruption by Van Halen. It is just Eddie Van Halen on stage doing a guitar solo for 20 minutes during a break during a concert.
This is my first time watching you and I am sold. I’m subscribed and gonna be watching you now on
I'm here for KoЯn every time❣ Saved my life. Next one I suggest is Freak on a Leash, but don't stop there!!! Had so much fun with this!!!
i heard this in the fifth grade, this is what got me into rock music.
What were you listening to before that?
@@HollywoodRobTV it was all rap. Make em say uhh by master p was hot at the time. So no limit was running stuff then. I saw "got the life" video on mtv before school one morning and was blown away.
Ice Cube and The Pharcyde are on this Korn album. Great fucking band.
We used to listen to Korn before football and basketball games. Good gym music
I don't know why I like seeing vocal coaches, opera singers and people who normally only like mellow shit or rap turn into metal heads one rift at a time but it's my new guilty pleasure.
So glad I came across your reaction videos. Thanks for giving stuff like this a listen!
must must must do more Korn!!! Shoots n Ladders, Freak on a Leash
Loved the reaction. You need to check out Freak on a Leash it’s probably their most iconic song!
Yo, the video for Got The Life is straight🔥🔥🔥
This ones a Gem. Gonna be fun to watch you run this one man. All around great. groove lyrics, suspension all of it. Easy listening.
A later addition to their discog, Twisted transistor has a hilarious video that I think you'd love.
