When you're very angry/sad/upset or reliving trauma - most people don't have complete control of how their voice sounds even when just talking. This is how he makes you feel the lyrics, his voice and the way he sings, talks, "scats"and breathes is telling you how he feels just as much if not more than the lyrics themselves.

I think the thing that really drew so many of us to Korn and more specifically Jonathan Davis is that he really encompassed a sound that embodied the angst and pent up rage that a lot of us experienced in the the height of our teenage years and watching some of the things unfold that we did in the time. It really just has this tension into release feeling that hits SO strongly.

I don't think anyone has ever described Korn's music as 'delightful'. Absolutely awesome review 👏

So that voice from breakdown is more like VE or VF, VG ... by this point. Covers lots of ranges and is being weird on purpose at this point. Also that barking she called in that breakdown beatboxing was also human in origin, it was a moan like they ripped off Michael Jackson XD paa bam AH AH ta di dam ... the AH AH high pitch parts if this makes sense XD Reminds me how Fred Durst also often parodied Michael Jackson and if this is some sort of numetal fad that I am not aware of ...

Korn is one of the bands where I feel like it was be the biggest headbang session ever listening in with them at a studio. It is so catchy somehow, I love it.

“This is a very strange sound for me to hear” girl it was strange for us the first time too. 😂

Fun fact about Korn: Both guitarists played identical 7 string (rare at the time) guitars, both with identical strings, pedals, amps and settings and both tuned down (rare at the time). This allowed them to double up on parts while synchronizing with the 6 string bass which was also tuned down (both the strings size and tuning being rare at the time). Thus making them sound incredibly heavy only to split off to create a wonderful sense of space and creativity. First time I heard Korn…mind…BLOWN. ❤

1998. I was the oddball kid that listened to everything.... heavily into rap, grunge, metal. Korn came out of nowhere and managed to grab attention across multiple genres. I remeber this being the first band that all of my friends in different circles listened to.

It's that little extra step that makes me go watch/like the YT vid/music video of a song that I've already loved for years just to give that group that little bit extra attention.

Korn songs have such a flow and build to them it's frustrating to have them analyzed the way she does. I almost feel like she should listen to the whole song, then go back and analyze the pieces.

korn’s sound is so unique and special that they were able to dethrone the boy bands who ruled mtv’s TRL. their video for “got the life” actually had to be retired from the show because nothing could knock it out of first place. it held the spot daily for over 2 months. not bad for a show geared towards teen pop fans 🤘🏻

The release is intentional as well because it plays back into the idea of a leash. A leash is sometimes slack, sometimes taut, and sometimes choking, just like the vocals and instrumentals in the song. I love when the music reinforces the themes and lyrics of a song. That's just great composition.

I applaud you for so eloquently and extensively putting in words everything we've all felt the first time we heard this masterpiece.

Your initial reaction when it gets to the “beatboxing” part is so wholesome and exactly how it always makes me feel. It’s gives me so much joy!

Jonathan Davis is well-known for his use of breath (actual breathing) in his music (somewhat like Corey Taylor, though Davis uses this throughout his songs, rather than just during bridges or to gain a sense of build-up). He also cries a lot onstage and even leaves that in on his records. He's one of the most unique vocalists in metal. You can't mistake him for another person.

The CGI in this music video was quite advanced for it's time and was widely accalimed when it came out, the bullet flying around everyones head and from scene to scene. Very unique and original. It won Best Editing and Best Rock Video at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, and later received the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 2000.

Great songs like this one allows the listener to be totally immersed in the song from it's very beginnings

There was a problem with his record label Sonys contract that didnt allow his vocals on the record.5 additional tracks were written and sung by him but they didnt make the original release of the record. It did make the bonus material with the movie. When he toured for his solo album a few years ago was the first time he actually got to preform the queen of the damned soundtrack live. He said it on stage that it took 10 years to be able to come back to it and finally perform it live. I couldnt believe my ears. I never thought i would get a chance to hear that live. So special. Man Johnathans voice gets better with age too. Fine Wine
