They pulled it off because they created this sound. They pioneered the whole Nu Metal genre really. All the bands back in the 90s and going into the 2000’s where just following their lead. Korn are the true OG’s of Nu Metal.

yeh I would go with this kind of, although I would say it was more about Ross Robinson than Korn, listen to the Korn demo's pre getting signed, nothing like that nu metal sound, if anything was more like a Pantera style production and there was 0 hip hop in it. Also they used to be a band called LAPD pre Davies and they were just a lame RHCP wanna be band nothing of Nu metal in that. But they certainly ran with the Ross Robinson sound.

The sound was already around before Korn...... if any band pioneered what would become nu metal the credit imo would have to go to the Max and Igor era of Sepultura specifically the album Roots. Chaos A.D. is what set it off and Roots was their full jump into that sound.

Jonathan Davis is on record talking about how he wasn’t happy that Ross basically gave Sepultura Korn’s signature sound. Think about it, Sepultura never tuned down like that before roots and everything before Roots was more “rooted” in thrash metal. Please excuse the pun lol.

I think what makes this song so memorable is the atmosphere, like how the very first lyric is *"ARE YOU READY?!"* this is the very first song of Korn's very first album, it's telling you right away that shit's bouta go down. And then going from super quiet in it to super loud, like Korn does, makes it punchier.

Thought I'd share my Korn experience. Back in 94, my two guitarists said we're going to see this new band, you have to come. I had never heard of them. In the car on the way, we listened to the CD and their sound (and ultra low tuning....you could actually hear the bass strings flopping around) is what grabbed my attention. We got to the club (the Limelight in NYC) and you enter and go up to the second floor to pay before being let into the second floor bar. We get there and hear the ride cymbal for the beginning of this song and run for the main room. There's a cat walk that surrounds this club as it's an old church and we take the stairs down to the floor. It's packed so we're stacked up the stairs with my two guitarists in front of me on the first two steps and our singer behind me. It gets to the part and Jonathan Davis growls out "Are you ready?" and we get shoved down the stairs. The guitarist in front had no where to go so he grabs the two shoulders of the guys in front of him and hoists himself into the pit. Needless to say, I went out and bought the CD and listened to it for most of my college days. (in the 90's on the NYC subway so Lex ain't wrong there....except I wasn't a goth...) Nice reaction guys, keep em comin!

My very first concert was the Family Values ‘98 tour. I was such a math genius think that the shortest point between two point was a straight line, so I went THROUGH Baltimore instead of around it to get to Pittsburgh. We missed Orgy, caught most of Limp Bizcuit, saw all of Rammstein, and banged hard to Korn. I’ve seen em about twice more times since. They are phenomenal live, and I have sprained my back a couple times from head banging through there set. 😂 Too old to do that shot now, though.

12 years old in the room of my dads best childhood friends kid who was my age but we had never met. He and his friends had this album and played it for me and everything changed from there.

The lyrics at the end are actually " I CAN see I'm going blind". Not "I can't see". Meaning that he is aware of the problem he has. "I can see I'm going blind" is intentionally worded that way to make you think, How can you see if you're going blind?

Honestly I think this song and the intro in particular is possibly the greatest "first track" on a debut album. Absolutely immense.

Bakersfield, oil pump, meth shanty, wild dogs, 120 degrees on the worst summer months sound.

JD is a vocal Beast in his own way. What I like the most about him is you really can feel the emotions. Even if Not understanding the lyrics, you still feel despair, anger, etc through his voice

This song, album, and band were so inspirational and relatable to teenage musicians and garage bands in the late 90’s/2000’s. I’m thankful for it and what we got from it. And the JNCO jeans.

This is the song that made me a KoRn fan, I heard it in Austin, Texas at a record store and asked the owner WTF was that?? That opening riff that teased you is what grabbed my attention. Then when Jonathan came in with the vocal this was the changing of the guard for me in rock music...

Watching ya'll react to one of my all time fav songs just made my day. THANK YOU!

God I wish I could go back to when this came out. Such a fantastic time for music. Tool, Pantera, Korn, Type O, Deftones, Rage, Helmet, White Zombie, Alice in Chains, the death of hair bands… it was fantastic

FINALLY! Now, watch the 99 Woodstock version of this and experience how they were the ABSOLUTE top of the music world at that time

Nothing like seeing them in concert and the whole audience screams, "ARE YOU READY!!?"

This album changed a Lot when it came out. I knew someone close to the band and heard the album before it was popular and then it was playing between bands at Lollapalooza '94 and more people got into them but when they dropped "Blind" it was over. Listen to "Daddy". They tune down the bass and it adds to the punch of the slap on the low end. Jonathan used to cover 'Black Sheep' and 'Slick Rick' live so he definitely has an old school hip-hop background.

Korn's little touches of 90s hip-hop make their whole sound unique. That's why you like it Brad, you don't even notice sometimes in the song but there is always a groove in the back that makes this more than just metal music You gotta do the videos whenever possible, it just adds to the vibe, especially with these guys. Just blur them if you get copyright. The Woodstock 99 live version of this is just EPIC! Great reaction.

Brad nails it with the "it's such a tease". After sufficient teasing: "Are you ready?!" ... Jonathan Davis knows what he's doing.

This song and KoRN were pivotal for me getting through my teen years. Growing up in a farming community dressed in goth attire made me feel very cast aside. Korn was a bunch of weird guys like myself and it really just helped me embrace my unique personality. I went from being a quite weird kid to one who was much more open.

KoRn's debut album is one of my all time favorite albums ever from start to finish out of every band I've ever listened to. I first bought it in '94. Every track on this album is outstanding.

I think I could go as far as to say this single song probably shaped the majority of my musical taste for my life. This one was the game changer that shifted everything. The gateway drug to sincerely amazing hard rock/metal.

When I caught Korn live the first time, I kept waiting for them to play this song. The whole set was finished, then the encore started and still no Blind. They played it as their very final song and omfg the crowd when absolutely ape-shit at the ARE YOU REAAAADYYYY breakdown!! I moshed so goddamn hard that when all was said and done my body crumpled to the floor and I couldn't get myself back up. Korn brings out the most primal of instincts with its music. It's ugly and beautiful at the same time.

Korn got the funk for those that need a groove and goes hard for those who need that energy. They are a mount Rushmore metal band. They inspired so many bands.

Awesome reaction, I actually saw Brad almost bopping his head to the beat 😉 great band Korn, you definitely need to do more, alot of there music is deep 👌👍

I got shot in a drive-by, and that is what made me blind. This song came out around the same time. This used to be my anthem. LMFAO!

This album changed me. Great reaction!

For years Korn would open their show with this song. When you heard "Are You Ready" ? You knew it was time to go crazy.

First time I ever saw Korn live they opened with this. Can you imagine that? Standing in that crowd, all hyped up, hearing that restrained percussive opening, the occasional interjection of a jagged guitar and that funky ass bass. The whole crowd is electric with anticipation because we know where this is going and we know what's to be asked of us. Then it builds and builds before Jonathan screams "AAAAAREEEE YOOOOUUUU REEEADDYYYY?!" and then the whole crowd loses our shit. Absolutely immense!

The intro is like going up a rollercoaster.. and aree you readyyyyyy is going down

I think they have started every concert I have been to with this song. Not sure if its all but I have seen them like 5 times now. ALWAYS sets the show off right
