Title: Korn
Post by: dENIS on September 09, 2005, 03:16:56 PM
I`m sorry if this was in topic before but yesterday i was in Korn concert in Sofia, Bulgaria and it was fucking amazing. I`m not a big fan of this band but they make a great show. 1.30 hour they played almost everything of they hit collection. Really good show!  : ok: : ok:

They've done a few tracks i really like such as Make Me Bad & Another Brick In The Wall (Pink Floyd cover) a lot of their early singles were decent but they seemed to drift off.  Despite that i always thought they would be a great band to see live.  I saw them at Download, 2004 in Donnington they were on before Metallica now my memory isn't wonderful but i would say they had a good hour at least and in all honesty i was totally bored, they really dissapointed me i expected so much more, after that i don't have a high opinion of them as a live band but hey every band has an off day maybe it was one for them, they just seemed to lack energy...it was very lackluster.

No  ;D

In my country always come old 20-25 years bands like Deep Purple, Scorpions or other like this. It sooooo boring. I go in this becouse Korn a yang, fresh and curent of the day band. It was cool.

You live in a fine country. You just haven't learned to appreciate the awesomeness of those old bands.  :P Deep Purple live is much better than in the studio, just like Judas Priest. I don't know about live Scorpions, but the band is great in the studio.

Not a big fan of the band, so I wasn't so much into seeing them.

But I got a guest pass so I went.

Must admit, pretty good gig. The crowd was amazing and so much into the songs, and the band was really good.

The "Secret" guitar player though was kinda funny. I could see him rocking behind the amps and I thought "it's a real shame that this guy is playing all these tunes and he can't rock with this crowd"...

What do people think of the new album?

Its superb - their best since Follow the leader, which still ranks as one of my top albums of all time - this could be even better, and i haven't even finished listening to it!

Great melody, heavy as hell, its an album of singles - great stuff

Im wanting to buy it, is it really that good Izzy?

I think Jonathan Davis is the closest thing we've had to another Axl.

Not that he is but he has a dynamic great voice, True,real issues and is a great frontman.

I'd say it was worth picking up - maybe check out the first single 'twisted transistor' and d/l 'politics' first

Its far more accessible than most of their offerings and really makes me want to dig out all my Korn albums and listen to them again.

I'm really enjoying it, when i have listened to it a few more times i will be able to give a proper view, but its great stuff for sure - head bangin' stuff, has a great energy to it and the riffs are the fantastic chugging nonsense we've come to love about Korn

twisted transistor
Since i stopped watching Kerrang and stuff i really am getting behind with stuff, i did not even know they had a new album, but i did here this single it was the theme song for Taboo Tuesday great tune as well.  I may have to go and get their album (sorry i mean download it...), i was kind of put off them when i saw them at Download the other year cos live they well bored me...

I bought it today for 9.99 at Best Buy there were about 60 people in line though so Im glad its a great CD.I listened to it about half way through and havent had time to give it a proper listen.

So far though I am very pleased with it, Love Song stands out and the song about the 2 way or something, Cant remember the title right off, but it really grabbed me on the first listen.

im gonna ride around and crank it up properly tomorrow, So far though, I think you are dead on, It is kick ass a half listen through. : ok:

I love Korn! And I can't believe I've been following this band from the start.
I've seen them grow into one of the biggest bands, then fade away just as quickly.

I'll always hold their music very close to me, even though I don't like ANY other nu metal stuff at all. I think Korn were/are light years ahead of all those other bands.

As for the new CD, I haven't heard it yet. The new single is pretty catchy, which is strange for a Korn song. But I like it all the same. The video is TERRIBLE though.

Whoever told u that is fuckin full of shit.

this is the best Korn Album Ive ever heard.

Head sucked dude, his riffs were so similiar u couldnt hardly tell one song from the next.

Korn have evolved on this record, they have a more modern, NIN type sound and they have great lyrics and melodies.

What the fuck is wrong with being commercial?

What the hell does that mean? Don't tell me, your 16 and thats the word being used in the playground. 'Commercial' would mean designed to be successful - like power ballads like Sweet Child O'mine, November Rain etc!

But wait, u don't consider GNR to be commercial ::) What the hell do u think tracks like Patience are - deliberately accesible radio friendly singles!

Doesn't affect their quality.

Maybe its a mute point, but have u even heard this album?

Well ''apparently'' i own the album and thats nonsense, I don't really notice much difference between this and their other albums in terms of arrangement and production

Quote

Ur right - there is this ''gap'' between tracks where there are no guitars or drums at all ::)

Its full of intresting riffs and thumping drums - i hadn't actually paid any attention to the drumming work untill just now, and its really good, perfectly fits the song.

There are even subtle guitar solos :o

All Korn's albums are a good listen - but many take time to appreciate, many of their songs are not very accesible at first

The first album u should get is their superb Best of released last year. Its a shame ''It's on!'' wasn't included but it covers so much of their best work, follow up buy should be 'Follow the leader' and 'See you on the other side'

I actually got into Korn through Untouchables...really great record. Next Id recommend Issues, eventhough it gets a bad rep, followed by 'Leader, first album and then the brilliant Life is Peachy. That one takes a while to get into, but when it hits you after a shitty day you fucking wanna break some shit.

I hated Take a Look in the Mirror, just a horrible, lazy ass record.

Guns n Roses ballads arnt your usually bullshit bon jovi ballad mate.

Go listen to that album, its a pile of shit, 2 good songs, the rest are like listening to something at a disco, not heaby, dull and boring, they tried to do dance rock and just havent succeeded. Commercial means other things other than how many radio hits they get, its when a band go for a weak crap sound for money.


Title: Re: Korn
Post by: D on December 14, 2005, 11:27:22 PM
Open Up and Love Song are two of the best Korn songs Ive ever heard and yes they are on the new record.


I recommend goin for the Greatest Hits when u are tryin to discover any band u havent previously listened to, that way u get an overview of their catalog and if u like it, u can buy the albums and discover other hidden gems.

Korn are not easily digestable bullshit though, if u buy this record, u better give it 4 or 5 listens through before judging it, cause they have difficult melodies that arent easily discovered on the first couple listens. Korn sound like a big pile of noise sometimes on the first listen, but after a few times through it clears up and u can make everything out and its simply amazing.

Lets not start a GNR vs Bon Jovi debate in the Korn section but honestly Bon Jovi's ballads are just as good as GNR's ballads.

Ill take Bed Of Roses,Always,Never Say Goodbye over Dont Cry or Patience any day of the week.

Listen to "Love Song" and "Open Up" these two songs alone are worth 10 bucks and are the best korn Songs Ive personally ever heard next to "I Did My Time"


Im not gonna lie im more of a new school Korn fan, i dont know much of their first couple records but I know enough to know that they didnt all of a sudden try and become Commercial or whatever the fuck that word is.


All bands are commercial or else they'd be playing coffee houses somewhere.

Before i make andy comente, i havent heard the new album, only Twisted Transistor (the video is hilarious).
I used to really like Korn, albums like Follow The Leader or Issues were great.But in my opinion they`ve lost credibility.
I mean, how can they keep writing  songs avbout the miserablel life they have millions oif dollars, tons of friends, mansions.I just dont buy the "a lonley life where no one understands you" anymore.
Question, is the guitar work really diferent now that Head is gone?






Baby Slash//


Title: Re: Korn
Post by: Timothy on December 17, 2005, 03:49:42 PM
Truthfully I could tell head left the band.



i think they keep writing the way they do for a couple of reasons.


1. It's what they know .

2. they still may feel that way. Just cause you have these thing .doesn't change the fact that you still feel alonemmesirable  or that youe fell people don't understand you .


Title: Re: Korn
Post by: Rasputin on December 17, 2005, 06:10:50 PM
i liked Twisted Transisor...

but i think earlier like Follow the Leader was better..

but one question.... dont be rude just explain, people rag on GNR for their UYI albums"not being as angry" as Appetite, then rag on Korn for their new one being just as angry??   *is lost*

(tho id say Back off Bitch and You Could Be Mine were every bit as hard rockin as before  ;D)

back to Korn, it sucks Head left 
but i kinda like See You On The Other Side

No, I don't know what your point is.. Because Korn have never done a song like that, they are not that kind of band.

They have done a song called "Faget" but I guess you don't know what that song is about.

KORN recently spoke to RollingStone.com about the group's upcoming "See You on the Other Side" tour, which is scheduled to kick off February 24 in their hometown of Bakersfield, California. The band will be joined on the road by handpicked openers MUDVAYNE and 10 YEARS.

"We wanted to pump the vibe that we were going to do something unique for us on this tour; it's not just going to be another tour playing the same songs the same way," guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer said. Frontman Jonathan Davis also promised the group will dig into the archives for some songs they haven't done in a while.

Following KORN's new deal with Virgin and guitarist Brian "Head" Welch's departure, the album and tour marks a fresh start for the multi-platinum rockers. "I'm excited just to go into rehearsals," Munky said. "And I think the excitement will build once we get into how the whole show's going to unfold."

it will be untitled i read because they wanted fans to call it whatever the fans wanted or something.. i'll try to find the source..

EDIT: found this..:
On May 28, vocalist Jonathan Davis joined Radio 3FM, after just performing at the Pinkpop Festival in Holland. He commented that the band's upcoming album, stating it "will not be titled." He elaborates by saying, "It's not titled. It's not going to be titled," Davis said. "We had the world's greatest drummer Terry Bozzio in and Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion in and I played drums on some songs too. I'm so proud of it, we just can't wait to show people what we've done." Titling the album has become an issue for these reasons, as Tod Martens of Billboard.com referred to the album deliberately as Untitled, despite the same reporting claiming it to be Korn (an album the band has already recorded and titled under). Others dismiss the album as titled either, and explicitly claim the album to be virtually untitled (referred to as "Korn's untitled album"). The cover art released on June 14, 2007 contains virtually no text (or even a logo), implying that the album will be known as the latter ["Korn's untitled album"], and not literally titled Untitled. Vocalist Jonathan Davis has said, "We didn't want to label this album. It has no boundaries. It has no limits and why not just let our fans call it whatever they wanna call it?"

here's some Song descriptions

"Starting Over" ? A song where Jonathan Davis channels all of his feelings about the battles he's overcome in the past few years: alcohol addiction, drug dependency, and a near-fatal blood disease. Billboard journalist Todd Martens comments, "The album opens with the seemingly straightforward rocker "Starting Over," but more than halfway through, the guitars drop and give way to a dreamy, psychedelic bridge, only to have the verses resurrected by gospel-inspired keys."

"Bitch We Got a Problem" ? Billboard journalist Todd Martens compares the song to "Do What They Say" as also sporting an almost dance vibe and industrial grooves.

"Evolution" ? Described by Jonathan as "addressing global climate issues." Jonathan said, "It's not political Al Gore shit. I'm just wondering, are my kids' kids going to have a place to live?" The song is also the first single from the upcoming album.

"Kiss" ? One of guitarist Munky's favorite tracks on the new album. "It has piano in it, and there's a very melancholy tone to it," he describes the song. Billboard journalist Todd Martens comments the song has The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields" tones to it.

"Do What They Say" ? Billboard journalist Todd Martens comments the song "sports almost dance-y, industrial grooves"

"Ever Be" ? Munky describes the song as having "this epic ending to it ? like, imagine 300 set to song. It's crazy." The song is written about Brian "Head" Welch.

"Love and Luxury" ? Davis addresses the departure of ex-guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. In an interview with Billboard.com, Davis says, "I had to vent, It really irritated me that he's putting out this book and profiting off of talking shit about us -- the guys who gave him everything in his life and put him where he's at. If you don't want to be in the band, fine, but don't go out bad mouthing us."

"Killing" ? "It's a hard riff to play, and if you keep playing it for an hour, your arm hurts," Munky explained. "[Frontman Jonathan Davis] was in writing the song with us, so he's the one who came up with the riff ? because he's not used to playing hours on end. He was kind of the second guitar player, filling in the blanks for me."

"Hushabye" ? Shaffer plays a "reverb-y" mandolin. The definition of a hushaby is a lullaby used to soothe or lull babies to sleep.

"I Will Protect You" ? Features a bagpipe intro and a very progressive middle section showcasing Bozzio's drumming.

me myself have found "evolution" and "i will protect you" on torrent sites : ok:

so what is the story with this new album? anyone heard it yet? i heard it leaked and people said on other boards that its Korn's masterpiece and sounds very NIN and industrialish which is right up my alley.

i like evolution, might have to check this out....


the only Korn album i own is Untouchables and it has some okay songs but i never really got into it.

Yes, it leaked. I've ... heard it. I enjoy it. I like where Korn's been going with their sound. I even got "Evolution" off iTunes when it came out, so I feel alright about hearing the rest of it. I'll be picking up the album. I was a big fan of Korn when they came out in the 90s and I still support them. Saw them on the Family Values Tour last year (I went to see Deadsy and Dir en Grey) and they were still able to impress me live. Anyway, if you're curious it's out on all the torrent sites. If you can't get to it, get in touch with me.

Just saw them on The Sauce on FUSE. They performed and were interviewed a bit. Then they had a bonus half-hour set after the show (then FUSE did a Loaded episode for them, so it was a Korn night for me). Anyway, I jumped right on AIM and sent some messages out during a commercial break and by the time they came back I was able to chat with Jonathan Davis online for a little bit. It was really surreal and he's very cool. Can't wait for the new CD tomorrow.

I've liked Korn since the beginning. So lemme go through this, and keep in mind this is just my opinion.

S/T - Really love this album. It introduced the band and unlike the next couple albums hasn't really aged all that bad.

Life is Peachy - Not a bad album, but not a worthy follow-up to S/T either. Basically a let down at the time, but in retrospect I enjoy at least a few of the songs.

Follow the Leader - The band's most dated album and worst album overall. I don't like nu metal. Korn isn't a nu metal band. This is their only album in that style.

Issues - Korn's best album to that point. This is the line for most fans who either stuck with the band or left them.

Untouchables - Korn's darkest album to date. As Korn's sound got more experimental, the band lost what remained of its nu metal fanbase. A love it or hate it album. My favorite Korn album. Hasn't been outdone by them since.

Take a Look in the Mirror - A decent album with some really cool songs, but suffers LiP syndrome in following up one of their best efforts. It's less focused and the most tired the band has sounded.

See You on the Other Side - Korn's "comeback" album. The Matrix or not, some of Korn's best songs. Atticus Ross' production breathes new life into the band.

"untitled" - Korn's second S/T and most recent album is easily in my top three for them, and it grows on me all the time. A dark, heavy affair that loses many of the commercial posturings of SYotOS. Recommended.

Yeah, I mean there's really something there for every Korn fan on any given album. Despite the fact they've had their fair share of misses, there's a lot of great material in their catalogue. I wish more people could view a band like Korn, or any band for that matter, in more of an overall sense in terms of body of work. A lot of people have this unspoken understanding that to like a band you have to prefer their earlier work, and while with a lot of bands I can see that really being the case, there are bands like Korn who can actually develop and grow into something altogether more mature. Sure, the first album's a minor masterpiece to some, but to discredit later albums like Issues or Untouchables because you have to remain firm in this whole "Oh yeah, well I like the old stuff but then they sold out" arguement that people apply to any given band, that's really too bad.

Saw Korn with Disturbed on Saturday night. I used to be a huge Korn fan 10-12 years ago, then I just kinda stopped for some reason. Well, after seeing them again, I remembered why I was a hardcore fan. Fuck these guys are great live still. JD is one hell of a frontman, amazing show. The crowd went apeshit for Korn. Then when Disturbed came on the crowd was pretty calm, haha.

Honestly iv tried, but i can't get into the first Korn Album.

I became a fan of Korn when Issues came out and became even more interested in the band when untouchables came out as well. Loved the "Here to stay" song.

I hate the first album, and i think its the most dated one to be honest. Its kinda like Limp Bizkit's first album, the production is not as clear as the other albums, and its too rough for me.

Being a Korn fan i prefer the new metal phase with Issues, follow the Leader and Untouchables being my favorite albums.

I hated the "Untitled" album... absolutely worthless...

I liked 1 or 2 songs from the "see you on the other side" album, but greatly missed Brian Welch on it! It wasn't that great of an album.

Any album after Head went out of Korn is not that great anyways.

Take a look in the Mirror is Korn's last really good album.

Haven't checked the new one though
