this is the band with the 12 yo bass player?

yeah robert trujillos son

They don't get respect because they stop making interesting music after "Follow The Leader", 20 fucking years ago.

Fuck korn. They had their time.

I feel like this band though is largely overlooked.

I mean they are massively popular now so by lack of respect you metal purists treating them like buttrock now i can see that, although i think their early work is generally seen as quality

Munky and Head had some interesting guitar parts and an original sound but that's about all I can appreciate about their music these days.

WHEN I WAS

Untouchables was

one of my best friends from high school, nick, the first time we met he was walking behind me on the stairs and i turned around and saw he was wearing a korn tshirt (this was like 2002) and i asked him if he liked them. he said yes and i farted in his face.
we're still friends to this very day.

I wonder how he feels playing songs like daddy...

Got the life is GOAT song

I'm relistening to this right now after many years and the creepy atmosphere of it still holds up. There's some Korn that I couldn't listen to now because of the lyrics, but I'm getting reminded of why I liked this and Untouchables so much a long time ago.

Korn [Epic, 1995]

The cover art depicts a frightened little girl on a swing set cowering as the menacing shadow of a hook-handed rapist draws near. The band loves this image and flaunts it in all of their trade ads as Sony flogs their death-industrial into its second year. They also sing about child abuse--guess what? They're aggin it. But if their name isn't short for kiddy porn, then the band should insist on a music video where they all get eaten by giant chickens. C

Life is Peachy [Epic, 1996] *bomb*

Follow the Leader [Epic, 1998]

Korn deny they're metal--that's Judas Priest, all four-four pomp and solos. But they nevertheless demonstrate that the essence of metal--an expressive mode it seems will be with us for as long as ordinary whiteboys pity themselves, fear girls, and are permitted to rage against a world they'll never beat--is self-obliterating volume and self-aggrandizing display. Calling up death metal's signature groan to prove he's authentic, poor not-actually-abused Jonathan Davis squeaks, squawks, clicks, creaks, grunts, and groans his way through dull verses, eerie licks and bridges, and a hyperactive rhythm section. How much his audience identifies with such lyrics as "Cameltosis"'s "You trick-ass slut" and "I kiss your lifeless skin" is unclear. But I'm parent enough to hope they find a more fully-forced designate than someone whose idea of social commentary is netcasting softcore S&M to any teenager with a logon. C+

Issues [Epic, 1999] *bomb*
