"A cheap f*** for me to lay." The song is about the music industry, and you're in the industry, so draw your own conclusion. The stuff in the middle was a kind of scat singing, in a Jazz sort of way. Korn is a fusion of Hip Hop, Funk, Metal, and some Jazz sort of ideas. Nu Metal. When Korn hit, it blew out minds. No one sounded like Korn. Try Blind.

Yes Blind is definitely 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Korn is still the sht❣️ That part where he says GO then goes off is SO much fun in concert!!!

The follow-up video to "Freak on a Leash" is "Falling Away from Me", it follows immediately after this one. I love this band, I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

This must be my lucky day...the band that kept me sane during years of narcissistic abuse.

I genuinely hope that things got better for you and that you managed to get away from who ever was abusing you Also I can relate to your coping mechanisms and using music because I didn't the exact same thing and I actually still use music as a way to escape from things

We are all narcissists!

Cliff, if you wanna see how huge Korn was, check out ‘Blind’ from Woodstock 99 and also the vid for ‘Blind’ from Rock am Ring 2006 or 7? with Joey Jordison drumming for them that tour. Those crowds were INSANE!! I saw Korn 3 times in the late 90s and their concerts were AMAZING, they sounded fantastic, the bass hit SO HARD! I still have my armband from a show in 97 or 98 when the opening band pulled my friend and I on stage and I remember looking at all our friends in group we came with as they pulled us up…talk about HYPED!! They put the two of us behind the band in this cage type things, there were strippers above us, it was bananas!! We were slam dancing so hard we kept bouncing off each other! It was one of the most epic experiences of my life!! The band was like 10 feet in front of us - it was unreal! That was our Senior year of high school and I will never forget it as long as I live!! I think that show was in Memphis. Could have been Little Rock, AR. Back then, Korn was on top of the world and damn! What a time to be alive!!!

Nah if you wanna see how big KoRn was check out their TRL runs and the release of Issues on TRL. The had a Cover band battle. Shit was insane at the time.

How have you never heard this?! Hip hop head or not - thing was everywhere when it came out. Excited for you 😊 that “go” is one of the hardest hitting drops in history.

The memories this brings back. I was soooo much more alive back then. Good times😂

His song to the record company at the restrictions they pulled on him. He was scatting not chanting. My favorite is Coming Undone

That's a great choice Cliff ❤ Thanks

Cliff:ima have to watch this again. Korn: mission complete. 😂😂😂

They did songs with Ice Cube and Nas too. Decades of music mixed with different sounds. They even released a dubstep type album.

My mom always played this while driving me as a kid and I would be going crazy not wanting to plant my butt in the seat

As a rap fan you might like Korn - Twisted Transistor.

NICE KORN LOVE IT ❤

One of my all time favorites. Jon Davis and Amy Lee from Evanescence did an acoustic performance of this song on MTV, you may be able to find it still. It's actually really freakin beautiful.

I was a freshman in highschool when this song came out. I remember seeing the video on MTV and being blown away. Fucking love Korn! 🤘🏼

Heck yes so glad your listening to them this hit while I was in high-school I'm a huge fan. Please do more

The lyrics of the bleep are "A cheap fuck for me to lay" and the chant is him beatboxing

The Korn boat is a fun ride. Welcome aboard!

Yes more Korn!🤟🔥

Heavy Metal Beatbox❤

My all time fave Korn music video is "Twisted Transistor". I think you'll love it given it has some special guest stars

Love Korn! Seen in Concert! Awesome reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Korn

You might also enjoy "Here to stay" and "Coming undone" by Korn....

Dear Cliff......... you have to react to "Got The Life" . . . find a guy we both love right in the end of the vid! "a cheap f a c k" (it's a love song) it's from the 1998 album "Follow the Leader". Those chants are called scats... Jonathan is a pro at this (listen to "Twist") There's a follow up to this vid to the single from "issues" (1999) "Falling Away From Me" (director.... fred durst. )

Yeah, Jonathan scats, kinda like Ren. It's all rhythm and percussion.

More Korn! 👍👍👍👍 Always enjoy your reactions. Keep it up!

Taking me back to my high school days! Nice!!!!

Korn, "got the life" is amazing too❤

Mockingbird , Shoots and Ladders, Twist, @ Coming Undone!!

Jon Davis scats in a bunch of songs. That's what he was doing in that middle section. I LOVE that shit. It's something weird AF but nobody else does it and that craziness sets him apart from anybody else. He only brings it out every so often, but it's always epic when he does!

Falling away from me actually came after this one.. the video picks up after this one

Thank you for reacting. I think you did a good job picking up things in song.

Fire reaction man 🔥

KoRn are my boys! So glad you covered this one. There are so many you can do by this band and I think you would enjoy them all! Have a great week!

I never understood the words to this song. Thank you for doing this.

It's the new beatboxing

This video was 1998 and has aged very well still a banger I still listen 🎧 to it at the gym

Love Amy Lee and Korn freak on a leash

Best album”Follow the leader”!!!! Love Korn 🖤👍🏻

This video was nominated for 13 Grammys I believe.

One of my favorite bands!

Shoots and Ladders is a must!!!

Korn came out in the late 90s and basically are known as the main makers of the genres of "Nu Metal." Which holds other bands like Slipknot.

Korn has some amazing music. If you liked that beatboxing moment, check out "Twist' as the entire song is him doing that. There's some words thrown in there after he says "Go". True story, Korn helped Limp Bizkit get signed after Fred First the lead singer cut the hair of members of Korn while he played their demos in the background. Tech N9ne did a song with Jonathon Davis from Korn called "starting to turn"

🔥🔥🔥they were my first concert I ever went too!🤘🤘

"Falling Away From Me" is the continuation video to "Freak On A Leash"

"Imma have to workout to this!" 🤲 Psych up during the scatting and lift the bar off the bench press on "GO" and bang em out bro lol so good. There's too many great tracks by them to list but Blind, It's On, Got the life, Dead bodies everywhere, Clown, Twisted transistor, You'll never find me (newer song). Cheers man love the reactions. 👊

OMG fuckin here we go.. !!! was scared that Daddy moved you away from KoRn and JD :)

If you're interested check out Narcissistic Cannibal, it's Korn, Skrillex, and Kill the Noise off of Korn's album Path of Totality. Good damned album overall.

Favorite song of my childhood. For sure brother

I miss school in 1998, this song was everywhere

The band was split on the meaning of the song. Some said it was about them feeling hamstrung by the record label's control over their musical choices. Others thought it was about S&M freakness.😁

This song is LEGENDARY! Would love to see you react to a Finnish modern nu-metalcore band Roju.

Chino was the rapper on A.D.I.D.A.S.

Such a dope song

Got to see this live, PERFECTION! A couple more good ones Got the Life Y'all Wanna Single

This music video had all of us nineties kids wilding 😂😂😂 Jonathan Davis is the undergoat next to Ren

KoRn has been my favorite band since I was 13 I'm now 36 and they bleep out him saying a cheap fuck for me to lay

Video continues into their song “Falling away from me”. It’s a graphic video Discretion Advised

Great reaction Cliff 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Please do: Freak on a leash ft Amy Lee (Korn Unplugged)

Love Korn. Seen them live quite a few times in concert. Awesome shows.

Wow you're first reaction was Daddy. You should have been warned. It's rough to listen to.

The thing that’s crazy… when we had these groups like NSync and Backstreet Boys .. people like Cristina Aguilera and Britney Spears.. we also had Eminem and Korn blowing up and fucken the world up … surpassing all these Teen Pop music 😂 insane… people loved Eminem and Korn so much at the time 🔥 🙌🏻

Gotta check out the follow-up to this video, Falling Away From Me. I think you'll really dig that one! It's probably my favorite song they've ever made.

“A cheap f**k for me to lay” is correct, sir. One of my all time favorite bands. Their music is timeless. They are AMAZING in concert. I saw them at Woodstock’99. So glad your delving into them. “Falling Away from Me” is the follow up to this one. It’s a must!

This is a pretty epic song, but the video was super unique back in the day when i was 10 or 12.i had to look damn, 1998

Id like to see you react to Korn Right Now. The video is a trip.

Love your insights here! I can't really listen to Daddy. Korn is late 90s, nuMetal, and I freaking love it!💟 If you wanna check out more metal, go through the ones Knox has done for Metal Mondays. His breakdown of Avenged Sevefold's Nightmare has been one of my favorites. He's done this one, too. It's interesting to me to see the different points of view on the songs I grew up with and love. I'm not really sure anyone knows what the chant is, other than damn fun to do when you're rocking out! 🤘

You make me wonder things I never thought possible such as... " How would you script a never before heard video? " lol

He was scatting like Ren does

DUDE😂🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪PLEASE DO TWISTED TRANSISTOR, you'll love it with your music background 😂

dope lid, southside...

Coal Chamber - Big Truck

Korn "Twisted Transistor"

Korn..Blind..Woodstock 99 live is a must. This band is nu metal..his hop..rock..heavy metal they are the best ..and he was skatting or beat boxing . He is the master of this style. Korn started the new metal movement. 👍😎🔥🔥🔥🔥

Every single song korn has done are experiences that the singer Jonathan Davis has gone through. Check out korns song insane or rotting in vain and maybe get up or twisted transistor.

Got the life has to be next! Please

Twist by Korn

You should check them out live. Song is Blind live from Woodstock

Loved Korn. A lot of their music was raging against innocence lost in one form or another. Dropped hard with blind, and ball tongue. Twist is how to do a song without words, Swallow is good and as a rap guy you might like Wicked, Children of the Korn, or All in the Family. Falling away from me and Beg for me are favorites of mine.

All the animation and the direction of this video was by Todd Mcafarlane the creatos of the Spawn comic

I saw them live back in the day, amazing band I've always loved❤ I've loved them since they came out in the 90s. He was molested at a young age. I remember when them and Manson hit. Mainstream metal was changed for the best❤

This was actually the epitome of my life till my late teens when I figured out how to do something about it. I actually did message you but I don’t know if it’s something you’d be interested in helping with.

Dude. You have to do Korn twisted transistor! Has a bunch of rap artists in the video. Its dope as shit

The original MTV music video to the song is badass I can't necessarily tell if this is the original

just as good as watching bevis and butthead watching music videos

Lyrics Something takes a part of me Something lost and never seen Every time I start to believe Something's raped and taken from me, from me Life's gotta always be messing with me (you wanna see the light) Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I) Can't I take away all this pain? (You wanna see the light) I try to every night, all in vain, in vain Sometimes I cannot take this place Sometimes it's my life I can't taste Sometimes I cannot feel my face You'll never see me fall from grace Something takes a part of me You and I were meant to be A cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me Feeling like a freak on a leash (you wanna see the light) Feeling like I have no release (so do I) How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light) Nothing in my life is free, is free Sometimes I cannot take this place Sometimes it's my life I can't taste Sometimes I cannot feel my face You'll never see me fall from grace Something takes a part of me You and I were meant to be A cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me Go So fight, something on the ming-a-boo Fight, some things they fight So something on the ming-a-boo Fight, some things they fight Fight, something on the ming-a-boo No, some things they fight Fight something on the ming-a-boo Fight, some things they fight Something takes a part of me You and I were meant to be A cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me Part of me Part of me Part of me Oh

Hmm. I always thought it was whore not fuck.

*#Korn* got *Limp Bizkit* signed to a record deal. Yet the song is about the record industry Edited *"A cheap FUK for me to lay"*

its about how the music industry that gave him hate, cause thier music was deemed " weird" but the band had success with record labels and making money, but it was controlling his life. this video actually won a grammy in 1999 for best grammy. You should do thoughtless or atleast listen to it.

This is what I mean old school music had substance😅

reacts to Shakira singing: Je L´aime A mourir (live from Paris.) ...... and also to black eyed Peas, shakira - Girl like me CLIFF ...

This is my favorite song from korn, I only like a couple of songs.

The bullet went from a poster of their first album to a poster of their (then) latest album. There’s a whoooole buncha metaphors going on. Edit: the “chanting” is just death-scatting

He said, "Boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma Da" it's so clear, tut*eye roll

I totally forgot the music video

He was just scatting. It was released in the 90s and it was like the metal version of snake charming the bullet in the video to make it do what he wanted (symbolism- taking control of the pain/harm to make it harmless to the child that would have died or been seriously hurt and the security guard who never would have gotten over the accident)

great song .. ever checked out a rock rap band called unitytx a good song to start with is "roc sh!t"
