Jonathan Davis is a ridiculously versatile and unique singer. Also, he is not only a brilliant singer but a brilliant producer as well! His layered vocals in almost all Korn song and his solo material is so, so well done and you really can't find any other singer in any other Metal band that layers their voice like that.
Absolutely facts right here.
He also plays a few instruments including the bagpipes
And writes the songs too. He is extremely talented!
Huge KoRn fan, but JD isn't versatile, lol.
He's good with the growling, but not versatile. There's about 40 singers above him. I'm not saying he sucks, because he doesn't. He happens to have a distinctive and unique voice in music, he stands out, and that's what I love about JD & KoRn. They're within my top 10 bands.
@@led.zepper strongly disagree. Are you sure your listening to their album catalog? Just untouchables alone dude lol
Jonathan Davis does not get the fucking credit he deserves as a vocalist. He has both a lovely and raw, powerful voice. Idc what anyone says. Criminally underrated and honestly, so is Korn as a band.
Y'all just do yourselves a huge favor and listen to 'In Dark December' on CZcams. JD is obviously one of his inspirations. Thank me later. Tyler Moffitt is so underrated and NEEDs to be heard, he could surly help a lot of people. Chris Nitta on that channel is also him. He does the drums with his own drums ALL guitar, bass, singing and etc. He mixes and masters and produces. Always supplies fresh new work. Go ahead and show him some love.

Just like my hubby. He is a one piece. He has done tours and what not, with his first big band. He is solo dolo now. He deserves so much recognition!
He’s literally the worst vocalist in the history of rock music. Stop smoking whatever you’re smoking.
I can get on board with this. I always felt like their music was powerful or profound in a way that their contemporaries just weren't. Even if I couldn't necessarily relate to all of JDs lyrics (I've never been raped while my mother watched), they might've been the first group where the instruments alone gave me a release and an avenue to vent my adolescent aggression. I feel they are very underrated and not taken as seriously as some inferior groups in large part due to their fan base and imagery and a relatively common perception amongst people like myself (listened to them religiously through Issues, then forgot they existed) that they peaked in the early 2000s. I didn't even know they were still active until recently so I can't speak on anything after that period. To me though, in an era where every other band was using gimmicks and shocking imagery to stand out, they stood out with their music. They also had some pretty groundbreaking music videos as well.
@@MultiUnreal that might be true if you've listened to like 4 bands. He isn't the greatest but he sure as hell isn't the worst. You don't know anything about the history of rock.
Jonathan Davis and Chino Moreno were probably the most unique and unhinged singers of the 90s.
Even today they continue to have unique voices that no one can replicate. Jonathan still has a lot of vocal power while Chino has power in whisper. Neither of them scream like they did in the 90s, though, which is where the "unhinged" comes from, I assume.
@@graymoons14 Check out Flymore, you won't believe it.
@@santiagobeneth8543 I thought their album cover seemed familiar. Yeah, they sound exactly like Korn.
Still are
@@graymoons14 I am glad Jonathan doesn't scream like in the first 2 albums; fortunately he developed much healthier vocal techniques. His death grows are beautiful!
How does he sound so good??...Cause he isn't a Studio Singer..he is the Real deal..even after all these Decades he still sounds the same!!!
That shows you how great his voice is..
Like Korn or Not..you have to respect someone who sings and sounds the same as a recording!!..that's Talent!!!

That Dead Bodies Everywhere ending growl and scream always gives me such goosebumps!
So true. Just listened to it in this video and it gave me goosebumps.
Same!! That build up is the best.
One of their best songs imo, loved it from day one
“I have never heard anything like that” exactly what I said almost 10 years ago when they became my favorite band of all time and they still are. And I STILL have never heard anything like that. Jonathan is so incredible and his voice ages like wine. I know it’s not exactly on topic but I also want to mention what a beautiful person he is too. He is SO sweet. He’s been through so much shit and yet he’s always remained such a beautiful soul… I was fortunate enough to meet Korn a couple times and they are seriously some of the kindest, most genuine and sweet human beings in this world. Actually I think it is on topic because that sensitivity he has is what I believe sets him apart. It’s rare to find a singer that pours that much heart and soul into every single note… but he does. That emotion and the way it comes out of him and what he creates in his music is so powerful and touching beyond words… life altering for me lol. Rare breed in every aspect. I’ll love that dude forever. Amazing video, thank you for shining light on his voice, he really deserves it.
Omg you are so lucky you got to meet him…more than once!!!!
@@Jen-X333 I met Head, Munky, Ray & Fieldy twice, JD only once! He wasn’t there the first time. They’re so sweet and everything I had dreamed they’d be like and way beyond. JD is such an angel. I didn’t have a lot of time to talk to him but I think we sort of communicated non-verbally lol. I had similar experiences to him growing up and Korn was always there for me so it was overwhelming emotionally when I did finally meet him because this guy that has been there for me all these years is in front of me lol. They were standing up on a platform thing and I didn’t realize I was supposed to stand in front of it not also get on it, so I jumped up there and hugged him and told him I loved him 🤣 and he gave me the biggest hug and said he loved me too! He is SO sweet. Most “rockstars” would not do that. I saw him again a little later and he gave me such a huge smile and said “take care darling”. I’ll never forget that. I can tell he really loves the Korn fans a lot. I have to also mention Head though. I wrote him a letter as well and he actually took the time to answer me 😭 And then remembered me two years later. I was 13 (then 15) and he was so loving towards me in a fatherly kind of way. He is an angel as well. And he has such peaceful loving energy about him. I watched his documentary and think I reminded him of his daughter in a few ways based on what I shared in my letter and we’re almost the same age (I think she’s 2 years older). They are amazing people. Ray is also very sweet and super funny. I didn’t get to talk to him or Munky or Fieldy as much otherwise I’d share more. I hope you get to meet them too. I must say their meet & greet prices are extremely affordable especially compared to other bands. That first time I met them it was only like $40 for this after party thing and they just hung around with everyone talking and signing stuff and taking pictures. I’ve also seen them just hanging around after shows a few times. So your chances are high! Sorry I went on for quite a bit there. 🤣 They’re so special to me. I also know it’s nice to hear that your favorite musicians are amazing people so I thought I’d share. Blessings ❤️
Search up iggy pop - open up and bleed (live whiskey a go go) dude was doing this decades before. Especially around the 3:20 mark. Only it obviously isn’t metal since it was 1973. Iggy and the stooges are truly underrated
Edit: 3:40 in the iggy track* first time I heard it, my stomach was hurting from imagining how painful that must’ve been for his throat
Also - 2:43
I could not agree more! The emotions he puts into his work are part of what makes it so special. He's such an incredible person all around.
Jonathan Davis is amazing, that is why Korn has so many dedicated fans. I have seen them live many times, even when he had covid and he is awesome every time. I can never get tired of their music.
He never missed a beat even though he had Covid. Truly amazing!
I always have been taken away by how you can feel the pain in his voice at times. It always brings tears to my eyes.
I feel like he is so underrated. His range is incredible and the way he uses his breath, esp in his scatting, is breath taking (buh dum tssss). So glad you're covering him! 💜 The hidden track on LIP... Goosebumps every time, 25 years and counting.

“ Er nat rattaa, da buuum na ber ratttta” and “ boom na da boom na dam ne maaa” are my favorites .
I also love the way Jonathan writes the lyrics. he said that usually when given a melody or jamming with the boys, he makes sounds and syllables that fit in the rythm and then makes lyrics out of it
When you say he makes sounds and syllables that fit the rhythm that makes the lyrics out of it that is something called onomatopoeia
@@Darkeyedbitch That's fairly common.
That's really the easiest way to write lyrics. Start with the melody, then the rhythm, and then add the lyrics.
I've always loved it when a band delivers on what you hear in their album and they live up to their own standards. When I saw Korn last year it was amazing.
I saw on a forum that his complete vocal range is an A1 - F5 (3 octaves and 8 semi notes, almost close to 4 octaves by 4 semi notes) which seems like a typical vocal range for alt metal singer of his class, but what makes him stand out by most is what he can do with his voice. Jonathan is a master of changing his texture. One part he's sounding raspy, another time clean, some times aggressive and sometimes melancholic.
His many voices include the following:
The atmospheric melancholic sounding falsettos
The breathless yet hostile screams/shrieks
The clean high head voice
The demented scat/beatbox
The fryish creepy/sexy toasting (the act of talking or chanting, usually in a monotone melody, over a rhythm or beat usually famous with DJs)
The monstrous death growls
The raspy yet melodious flow in his singing
The thrash grunts usually when he's trying to make a point
Have you heard his songs that he made in high school? His voice is majestic in his song "Come With Me". And ask me if that sounds like a 14 to 15 year old. Because even back then... His voice was kinda matured. Unless you listen to "What Have I've Done".
Jonathan is a legend. KoRn will leave such a legacy, that is taken for granted in the present. God tier.
He really is one of the best vocalists of all time. I have never heard him do a live show where he didn't sound like he does on the albums. Even with Twist, which most people think he can't do the same every time live, he does sound exactly the same as what the album sounded like. I also love his lyrics, as they are so relatable to me.

Honorable Mention: The screaming vocals during the bridge on Falling Away From Me buried in harmonies from the opposite channel and bass cut/mid-treble boost.
He's just more than talented he was born to do what he does
Ive seen KoRn live numerous times & his live vocals are perfection. Hes 1 of the best front men ever. His vocal range is untouchable. 1 of a kind 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw him recently in concert and he was recovering from COVID AND HE WAS FLIPPING AMAZING!!! He had to tell us before we realized he was recovering. HE'S A MASTER VOCALIST!!!
My first Korn show was back in ‘02 and I’ve seen them perform 20 times live. Every single time Jonathan sounds amazing.
Jonathan Davis is absolutely amazing and has been my favorite vocalist since I discovered that band. KoЯn is, and will always be, my favorite band. The raw emotions in their songs can be so comforting when you need it. Jonathan's vocals are constantly impressive and i appreciate how they sound exactly like their albums live.
Only "DADDY" songs could make me cry and make my goosebumps...
Great analysis friend. Jonathan is ridiculously underrated.
He's up there with Fred Mercury, as a legendary singer.
Saw Korn live with SOAD, both of them play so close to their studio albums it so amazing
Jonathan always manage to pour so many emotions on his singing, thing a lot of singers lack today. You can feel Every bit of Pain, Sadness, grief, hate, and more on his songs. Is truly amazing.
One of the most unique and recognisable voices around, I saw him with korn a couple of weeks ago and what surprised me was the longevity of his voice, it’s still in very good condition
I have always loved Jonathan's voice.

What I like about JD is the fact that he's sounds exactly the same live as in studio. Also, as suggestions, I'd say David Draiman, Ivan Moody and Till Lindemann. These three are on my top five singers

Are you talking about SOAD's Suggestions?
Are you talking about SOAD's Suggestions?
I've always been floored by JD's performance of Slept So Long, a song he wrote for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. he sustains a particularly long note flawlessly towards the end of the song and does it in live performances seemingly effortlessly. czcams.com/video/76okYqKDITo/video.html
Jonathan to me is the best, how powerful could he be and so melodic at the same time, that´s incredible. check the Cold song to you can hear what he takes to get those growls and screams.

@@michellemoffitt9715 WE ARE talking about jd now....k???
True talent of a band's vocalist is how well they differentiate live and studio vocals. Jonathan us AMAZING
I wish this vídeo was longer... Incredible JD🤘
Honestly Johnathan is an absolute genius. I love him so freakin much. I’ve always thought he had one of the most unique and incredible vocal talents.

can you please make a video like this of Chino Moreno from Deftones?
PLEASE 👍
But Chino is really rough live very often. Love his work though.
Thank you for this. JD singing is so fascinating. He has so much range.
I saw them back in last September and I was shocked at how similar they were to the studio recordings
It’s called emotion and learning to use it to channel things that initially seem humanly impossible.
Korn is my go to for karaoke and I often sing here to stay, thoughtless, alone I break, I did my time, trash, black is the soul, insane, blind, somebody, and a few more but that’s all I can think of atm
I’ve been a huge fan of Korn and Jonathan’s singing since their first album release. Super powerful songs and he always delivers on vocals, just one of the most raw emotional singers ever. Honestly i can’t believe they’ve lasted so long and keep delivering, thanks guys!
Jon is the most unique singer. He's the best
He's amazing. My favorite for sure. Such a unique voice!
Johnathan Davis is my favorite vocalist I’ve ever seen live, it’s incredible how phenomenal his vocals are every time I’ve seen them perform.
Woah tearjerker!!!!!
Jonathas is one of the most visceral, insidious voices I've ever listened.
This is why JD will be on my top 3 favorite vocalists. He never disappoints.
Jonathan Davis é maravilhoso. Um homem talentoso e carismático. ❤
Sem dúvidas monstruoso nós vocais, o cara é único, com todos elementos que ele adiciona pra tornar o seu som único.
Just saw them a month ago in concert again. I’ve been 21 years. Back in the day I have seen how many of times. Korn is my favorite. I still have their first album that I got when I was about 15 years old only about a year after release and no one really knew who they were. My cousins actually used to hang out with them back then. 🙌🙌
Just seen them in march he and the rest of the band sounded amazing
I always admired how he manages to sound almost identical to the studio version
I was hoping Good God would be on the list. It’s one of their best underrated songs
If there is a song that I really like to hear mostly because of Davis' vocals on that song, it's Kidnap the Sandy Claws (Danny Elfman Cover).
a lot of us metal singers really sound like our recordings is cause we don't use autotuned we actually put power in our voices to make it sound good especially live and when JD does it, it is flawless
The build up of him singing the bridge in “No One’s There” always blows me away.
I have been a fan of korn since i was a kid, and i finally got to see them live when i was like 30. It was so amazing. One of the best nights of my life lol.
0:52 Got the Life live in Argentina 2008, que hermoso concierto. ❤
Jon is and always was such an amazing entity in himself, just incredible. He is #1 in all things for me. KoRn is my #1 band and musical heroes hands down.
He’s incredibly talented. 2:55 is so beautiful
I think the song Wicked is a great example of the grit he adds to his voice with a GREAT breathe control!
I love how your short version of this is such a good tease, it really sells this video
Hes...... Wow
Smashed it as always (=
I've seen Korn live atleast 15 times since the later 90s. Every show was awsome. He's the best singer ever. I've been saying this for about 27yrs.now.
My favourite singer in the world.....He is a master....unique and just a legend
Very under-rated vocalist. Absolutely love Korn and they are very instrumental in my guitar playing style .
Sincerely...its beautiful...he has magnificent vocal....⚡

Do it with Gojira's Joe Duplantier please. His vocals are insane
but not live xD
“Let the Guilt Go” off the Korn: III album is so good too. His range in that song is magnificent
That's because JOHNATHAN DAVIS IS THE F***ING MAN!!!!!!! He inventive the experimental vocalizations in music to this day. The first ever to maneuver a metal beat box into a song! He is that raw and unedited as far as his acapella, no voice auto-tune or any of that garbage that the newer less talented scouts have. Fuckin' love Korn, love John as an artist!
I've spent the past 25ish years, ever since I saw 'Somebody Someone' on MTV, singing along to them and trying to match his voice as closely as possible. I know I'll never be that good, but it's still my favorite thing to try when singing along to something
DIOS, COMO AMO LA VOZ DE ESTE TIPO, HOLLOW LIFE HUBIESE SIDO INCREÍBLE DE ANALIZAR, PERO TEARJERKER YA ES UNA JOYA. 💕
good God is still my fav Korn song to this day I'm 38 been a fan since self titled dropped
I'm loving this channel. I found it because of the Layne Staley coverage. ♥️
Have you covered Chris Cornell from Soundgarden/Audioslave or Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam? Actually they had an amazing band together called Temple of the Dog. You should listen to them in Hunger Strike they hit some great notes.
He did 1 for Eddie (that’s how I found him and I love this channel too) czcams.com/video/5hwjrlO12hI/video.html I’d love to hear more though! May I suggest if a 6 impossible lines for Eddie is done the PJ cover of Love Reign O’er Me should definitely be on that list… Just sayin… 😁
And he also did 2 for Chris!

I would say the “Mother” part in the beginning of Daddy is also a hell of a vocalization.
I love him, literally.
Love him.
Never forget He's live at Rock Am Ring 2000 with "It's On" Sounded Better than Studio (at the end - It's Oooooooooooooooooon). Just Blown Brain Up
I never get tired listening to Korn, Metallica, Slipknot music
I would say the section in “Proud” where he screams why like six times at the intensity of Good God might take the cake for me but yea he’s an amazing vocalist for sure
I got to see Korn live with my best friend a few years back and it was insane how spot on he was live. His range is amazing.
I could imagine that many lines are very deep in feeling for him. So that's the reason that he can sing as live as studio.
My fav performance of jonathan is the unplugged version of Freak on a leash. You could really hear how sophisticated his sense of melody is, how good his tone his, and how good of a singer he is
Wow... spot number 1 he sounds like he's about to tear me to shreds because the ancient ones are forcefully compelling him to. He sounds *_THAT_* demented!
KoRn- Freak on a Leash LIVE at CBGB'S. I'm a big Korn fan been listening to Korn for 25 plus years Jonathan's voice cracks and doesn't get the growl out that he should at 3:10 through 3:14
Interesting!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video 😉
Good God has always been my fav Korn song....still love it 25 yrs later!!!
I Hope you going to make a video about Klaus Meine, Bono or David Coverdale because they are all three very very good singers with incredible high and low notes (and because i love their vocals :) )
OMG Klaus Meine is criminally underrated
When you are singing from the heart and your soul and your life you'll find your own vocals in your head
Yes! The screams in Good God, Chi, and Proud are breathtaking and powerful. Love JD! Today's his birthday! 🎉
When i was a kid with serious pts and i heard korn for the first time I was sure that Johnathan was not only a genius but also had reached a level of awareness that i thought only I had.
KoRn? nice. Ive liked theire music since my early teens, follow the leader was one of the first CD's I bought, ive had a very good upbringing and life , but even back then I could instantly tell this shit was sogood, so genuine. To this day parts of the lyrics and tone reveals new levels of struggles I can just imagine. Mad respect for sharing and turning it into this music
I just wanna say I think you and your channel are great, thank you for what you do
So nice of you! I really appreciate it friend... sending love your way 💛
Proud is my favourite song and the raw emotion in that when he scream whhhhhy!? Has gotta be a voice breaker
The intro to twist is by far the craziest vocals i ever heard
Its almost like he sounds just like himself. Amazing!!!
You gotta hear those insane screams on the song Chi. Honestly most of the songs on life is peachy are insane 😅
In the last one, I feel like his scream was to showcase that of snapping and yelling at someone. He started out soft and emotional with it and then.... BOOOM. His vocal range is insane and is so underrated. Like honestly his voice is just beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
You want another one, go with Tatiana Shmalyuck of Jinjer. She is insane as a singer herself
Great list with some songs I wasn't expecting
I LOVE LOVE LOVE here to stay!
Jonathan has done really well at finding his diaphragm. Some singers sound like they're struggling with breath. Really sometimes it's that simple. Even if you're not a great singer you can learn control and it helps.
Brian would always say how happy he is that the best singer in the world is in his band. Lol
Good God screaming - amazing, one of my favourite songs!
I saw Korn in Sept last year the first show JD came back from Covid, and he was phenomenal!!!
Jonathan Davis is Fucking Amazing! His emotion is what makes his vocals stand out! Pure emotion!
