There's a quote by Dave Grohl that I love "That's the great thing about music. You can sing a song to 80,000 people and they will sing it back for 80,000 different reasons." Korn's first album will help anybody through tough times, younger or older. This album will help with depression, bullying, drugs or any other big issues people go through. Korn will reach into your chest, mess with your brain, give you motivation, hug and put their hand on your shoulder. There's basically nothing like Korn's first album. I hadn't heard anything like it and haven't since. Korn is a great band and deserves all the respect.

Before I even realized I had depression Korn started helping me. They are so special to me. I've probably seen them live more than any other band. At least a dozen times. My mom worked in a dry cleaners and noticed their tour clothes come through. She told the counter when they come to get the clothes she wants to talk with them. She met one of their assistants and told them how the year before instead of attending their concert she had surgery from an accident while getting ready for their concert. They told her they would put her and one guest (me!) On "the list" and to go to will call. We got there and got special treatment. Got to see them from side stage and got autographed stuff. It was an amazing night 🖤🖤

Fantastic music! So much talent. Thanks for yet another fabulous trip down memory lane.

His changes in pitch, volume and tone are all to emphasize his POV. Many of his songs, particularly early on were very personal to him. He shows his emotion through his songs. Another really great , under-rated band. Jonathon's vocal style is totally unique. This being a live performance does Not show his total vocal range. Another song that is very near 30 years old.

Your reactions are, as always, amazing !! Simple suggestion ; You could listen to the studio version of this gloriously beautiful piece of muscial greatness. For the studio version propels you even further into amazement! The overlayered and overlapped vocals adding both melodious and anxious touch at precisely righteous moments, the keyboards added durng the chorus and the extended bagpipes intros with birds chirping.... It's just a total marvel !

agreed I personally don't like most live versions. Especially for reviews since artists love to change it up for live performances and that takes away from the finished polished piece they put on the album.

Omg I will never forget this opening LIVE when I was 16 omg the goosebumps .. one of the best shows I have ever seen still to this day

I love that you break down these metal songs 😊

OMG yes please get tea time with him!! You will not be disappointed. He is a super nice guy and has a great life story. He's overcome a lot and still standing. Great message for us all.

You REALLY need to attend a KoRn concert. 100% energy from the first note. They're SO much fun!

I saw them a couple times in the 90s. When he pulls out the pipes the crowd goes crazy. Loved them

It's hard to find but Jonathan sang, co-wrote and produced the music for "Queen of the damned". Even though the soundtrack has various different singers. in the movie he does the voice over singing for Stewart Townsend character of Lestat's singing of the same songs. It's hard to find but worth it.🌹

@nevermore5168 all good I totally geek out over my fav music too.

Welcome to my biggest musical influence. Jonathan is an absolute genius. Hearing your take on songs that I’ve heard my whole life definitely does something for me.

i love how as the camera goes passed Ryan Martini she goes "that's a good stance". He's like the king of weird playing positions/stances to me. you never just see him standing somewhere.

Yeah! Shoots and Ladders! Whoo! Weirdly, I just got my hair cut today by a lady who saw Korn in concert in 1998. Must have been epic! More Korn! Also, it would be wild if you analyzed Emilie Autumn! Great video!

Blind is the absolutely best song I ever heard from them while also the first song from them I ever heard, it's amazing. Children of the Korn is a very interesting song because it has Ice Cube in it, some people did not like the song because there was a rapper in the song, which I did not care, it's a really cool song. Thoughtless is great, Make Me Bad, Play Me, Somebody Someone, Mr Rogers, Faget (although not sure I'll ever see anyone ever react to that one due to the content and name of the song) are some of my favorites. He wrote all or most of the songs from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack as someone below mentioned and the entire album is awesome. Not Meant for me, System (Chester Bennington from Linkin Park), and Forsaken (David Draiman from Disturbed) make appearances on some of my more favorite songs from the album.

You and the audience here are amazing. Your interpretation of my adolescent fav bands is amazing. It gives them a whole other layer to them. The audience here is so great with their suggestions. Thank you! Thank you!

Awesome song, my personal favorite Korn song, and awesome live. I'm looking forward to this reaction and analysis.

I remember when their first album dropped, it was so different from anything else out there at the time. It inevitably spawned a horde of clones and defined what nu-metal was going to become. I had the pleasure of seeing Korn on their 2nd tour...1995 I believe. It was so fire and opened my eyes to a different genre. This might be long, but I really wanted to say this. I really appreciate what you do Elizabeth. I discovered your channel a while back and love hearing what you think about bands and songs that I hold dear to my heart, even if they aren't exactly what I'm into now. My only wish is that it was possible to be more constructively critical. Many of these bands and singers do deserve praise. But, I get why you can't be, or maybe shouldn't be. You want to get these people on your show and rightfully so, I want to see them on there, too. I guess maybe what I'm saying is that I wish people were more open to constructive criticisms. A lot of critics are assholes. I'm definitely not saying to go that route. Maybe just more willingness to elaborate on exactly what one likes and doesn't like? Loving everything is good. Loving certain things, in my opinion, is even better. It's like dessert, if I can make an analogy. Chocolate double-fudge ice cream is awesome. Chocolate double-fudge ice cream is even more awesome-r after a serving of lima beans. Love the channel! Keep it up!

Love the way he screams "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB !!!!" On the studio version . 🤣 My fiancé & I joke about it all the time. Screaming "Mary had a little lamb" to each other from different rooms of the house.... or if we get separated at a big store, instead of going "Marco" 🦻🤚 "Pollo"... I just belt out Mary had a little lamb!! And she finds me !!😂

Jonathan Davis did amazing songs for the queen of the damned soundtrack (and beyond) with Shenkar. Would love to see you react to one of them. For they are far beyond the usual, not to say the norm, very very unique and something pretty different from Korn.

He wrote the original songs for the queen of the damned soundtrack and sang the versions in the movie while others sang on the track version. You should check out his version of "Slept so long" and the version with Jay Gordon of Orgy! That would open the Jay Gordon door for you as well! If you'd like to check out Orgy I'd recommend "Fiction (dreams in digital)", "Pure", of course their cover of "Blue Monday"

I cant wait for the next Korn analysis. There is so much to delve into with them and I love seeing them get recognized for it.. some lesser-known songs by them i would love to see reviewed are "Open up" and "never never" they both sound like they have heavy duran duran influence to me.

Korn is one of those bands you definitely wanna hear their studio works first, live is still great but they're masters at making masterpieces in studio

So glad you covered this one. I hope you do more Korn. They have a lot of great ones with emotional depth... Alone I Break Make Me Bad Falling Away From Me and for a fun 80s cover: Word Up!

I think "Blind" was actually their first megahit. I mean you could be right but shoots and ladders was released on the same album as Blind. I use to play this album religiously back in my teens. That all said you might be right that Freak on a Leash was the track that attracted the boom in fan base and steered everybody to the masterpiece that the korn album was after they came from follow the leader.

The fact that it’s live ads to his vocal prowess as it’s not studio tricks. The album version is crazy enough. Live it’s insane

I’ve been listening to Korn for 26-27 years or so. Nice to see you analyze another Korn song, although this has never been a favorite of mine. It might be interesting vocally, but musically there’s so many other Korn songs I like much more (like the two others you did already).

Shoots and Ladders was my introduction to Korn. When it came out there was a college radio station that was the only station that would play it. Blind from the same album is a must.

Your critic is very respectful and it's nice to see that!

I absolutely love u . 💗 U seem so kind and musically adventurous. I love ur voice and ofc ur laugh. I enjoy ur content and I aspire to be good like u

Daddy by Korn would be a great review. It's a very dark song with very intense lyrics and a very intense performance

When I first heard you were doing Korn, this was one of the songs I was super interested in hearing your opinion on! Really excited for this one!

This was a really fun video to watch and see you react to. I've seen Korn live a bunch and they've performed Shoots and Ladders a number of times. They usually stick the song near the end of their set. This was also a really cool live video because we get to see Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne fill in for Fieldy while Fieldy was on a brief leave (I think for his new child). In an interview, Ryan said he was really intimidated because he felt he had really big shoes to fill. I always thought that was funny given his skill. Fieldy is an incredibly talented bassist, but Ryan is right up there with technical playing skill. Regardless, this was a great performance and really fun to see you react to. Take care!

New to the channel been watching you enjoy Korn and was so happy to see you do this song

The video you reacted to is from a show where Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne filled in for Fieldy on bass. Mudvayne is another nu metal band that everyone loves (also my favourite). Some recommendations for Mudvayne include Death Blooms, Dig, Happy, and Not Falling. Ryan's bass playing is also an influence to Eugene from Jinjer. No Ryan = No Jinjer bass parts.

KoRn is the most incredible and amazing band that has ever been!! Everything about them and their sound is so authentic! Plus, Jon Davis was a mortician before he was the lead singer! Hauntingly awesome!

Listen to every song they've made. You will find that the more you listen to the music. How members of the band deliver thier piece of the song at any given moment...how Jonathan Davis brings it all out.....originality, multiple genre influence blends, then you will understand why KoRn is one of the best metal bands ever.

Bagpipes were used as scare tactics in battles, and mentioned (a kinda hellish imagery) in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales... Ergo they totally fit with metal 🤘🔥 Freakin love Jon&KoRn 💗 They were incredible when I saw them at UK Sonisphere (now over a decade ago😅)

Love this song. It's sooooooooo good live. Your gonna love it Elizabeth

I keep cracking up with your reaction with you watching JD. Got to love Korn

I saw them in concert back in 2010 and it was one of my wildest dreams come true. Everything about it was fantastic. I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly they did this song last.
