Korn

I'm not really into this kind of music but have found that these guys are great musicians and I love the songs "Freak on a Leash", "Did My Time" and "Blind".

What do the rst of you guys think?

well actually it is the style i listen to all the time.........i don't like a particular song though......for the hard stuff like that i would have to go with gently by slipknot

I love Korn. I saw a live show where the two guitar players were having a solo contest and they were doing some Van Halen. It was sweet. I have liked all of the stuff they have put out, especially the new album. It brings back their heavy side and their musicianship (the drummer is awesome).

I year or 2 ago I was into Korn. But just recently I found there stuff to be quite dull n boring. Not sayin that there bad musicians cos I have big respect for them. They just seem to refresh the same material over n over.

I've never been a Korn fan. I thought "Freak on a Leash" was okay. But that's about as far as my fanship goes.

I wouldn't call myself a fan and I don't know if I would pay money to go to one of their concerts, but two of my favorite songs are by them so I can't really complain about their music.

Back in the days when I was listening to cheesy rock music I used to be really skeptical about korn, but as my tastes evolved from that stage I would say that they are one of the greatest mainstream bands around.

to be honest i havn't heard much. i've listend to the album with freak on a leash on (dont know the name), and thort it was pretty cool. i like that style, though i prefare the more techno-y to hip-hop-y. you know, prefare linkin park to limp bizkit, that sort of sound. what are korn like in relation to those two bands (btw i just picked on those two as they are quite popular and everyone knows them, im not taking sides here)

I really wouldn't call myself a Korn fan.
Ive heard some of there stuff.I would take pleasure in burning down there mansions,taking their equipment and using it properly to make talented music not written by ghost writers...whooops...didn't mean for that to slip out...
Anyway...I think korn has contributed to the music scene
enormously.Walk down the street for example and your bound to see some 'badass' git with a Korn hoodie on all into metal,but at the same time a gangsta keep'n it real dawg.He most likley thinks 7 string guitars are the 'end all' and totally the bomb.He tunes down to G(for gangsta)and makes noise in the name Korn 'the best band in the world'!...sorry...didn't mean to type that...whats wrong with me?
Back to what I was trying to say.
Jonathan Davis is so deep and has the best...stupid whiny 'homosexual' voice.All he does is rant on and on about his dad assaulting him and high school kids making fun of him for venting 'homosexual' tension.Kids hear this sh*t,try to relate it to there lives and walk into the mall ready to clothe themselves with latest addidas,puma and other band endorsed products to be an individual...It makes me fu*kin sick...sorry,sorry...

All in all...Korn is a decent band.

Later!\m/ Korn rules,Fu*k everyone!

I was sort of a fan when they first came out. With their selftitled album and "Life is Peachy". Didnt' mind some of the other stuff, but when "Untouchables" came out, I thought they just sucked ass. They're newest album (can't remember the name, it just came out like this tuesday I think) is actually quite good. Although I do agree about the 'whiney' voice. Some of the songs just piss me right off. Anyway, I do agree that they are alright for 'mainstream' music.

As for a comparision to Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit, I think Korn beats the crap out of those two bands, which isn't saying much because I don't really like Korn all that much. But that's quite a biased opinion anyway since I think Fred Durst is a whiny bastard who should quite doing covers of great songs so all his 12 years old fans think that he's the greatest song writter ever. And as for Linkin Park, I don't know, they're alright I guess, I suppose I don't like them all that much because they are overplayed.

That's all...

I remember first listening to Korn in 1995 when my brother was home from college, and he had one of their albums. I was 14 or 15 at the time and thought they were awesome. By the time they were "mainstream" in the late 90's, I had different musical tastes and didn't really care for them. I just chalked them up in the "crunchy guitars and screamer singer" category. I decided I definately didn't like Korn last April when MTV had Metallica on its ICON show. Korn did a cover of ONE, and it blew ass (most of the covers did). They did the cool crunchy part of the song, but totally skipped the solo. I don't respect bands that can't solo.

They didn't do the solo because to MTV the song was already long enough and they needed to focus their time on Avril. Don't worry bro, those two dudes from Korn can solo.

i remember hearing the song "blind" by korn a while back and i thought they were really good. I then heard some of there other stuff and i didnt think they were so good. I thought "freak on a leash" was good. Now i dont think its anygood at all.
Now i play the guitar i can usually tell if a band is talented. I wouldnt say korn are crap. They are definatly better than a lot of other new metal bands.

As for MTV ICON: Metallica I thought Limp Bizkit did the best covering song. Avril sucked and also One was realy bad... The voice of the korn dude (whats his name?) is soo gay.

But back ontopic: I dont think Korn is such a great band. Although I dont know much of there music they dont seem to intrest me.

Im goin to see Korn 21-04-2004 as Support act for MetallicA (Slipknot is also supp act) and Ill just wait and what they can pull of live on stage...

btw I think Limp Bizket is getting better everytime they make a new album. They have a new guitarist, hes pretty cool :) I thought Limp was 'just another band' making that kinda noise, but they are realy getting proffesional.

I dont really like korn cause i think the band has no skill. All they do is scream and i dont like that very much. Though . . . on song Thoughtless is quite good but everyting else is not very great.

Scream all the time, what are you talking about man? You don't know what screaming is, if you say all Korn does is scream.

I agree, I think that Korn idn't a very good band. Whenever I listen to them, I just hear them shouting and that's all. I do admit that Thoughtless and Falling away from me were good songs, but I just didn't like any of their recent stuffs. I have to admit alucard, they're just a screaming band.

korn = nu metal

nu metal = crap

Korn do kind of shout and scream but not all the time. Korn are not the worst nu metal band out there by a long way though.

i hate korn but not cus all they do is scream...

there might have been a time when they were ok [first album] but then it all started to sound the same on the frek on a leash..this is according to me anyway but i have heard their albums and thats why ill say they suck cus theres no variation, some 'cool' electronica drum beats there and the most poppy of sounds, i can put them in that bag with linkin park staind and the rest.....

they might be good musicians but they fail to express that in their albums.
