The thing that truly sucks about korn is their setlists imo

[Bergerac]

Hmm, I actually really liked Issues. I mean, the lyrics were mostly retreads, but songs like 'Dirty' were just really good. I bought Untouchables when it came out, and was just knew it was over. Haven't been back to the band since, though my sister wanted the last one they released so I got her that. Haven't heard it though.

For a long time Life Is Peachy was my favourite, but now I'd say:

1. Korn
2. Issues
3. Life Is Peachy
4. Follow The Leader

I can appreciate how big Follow The Leader was, and how much of a progression it was, but really it was a movement away from what I liked about Korn, even though a lot of the songs are tight on that album. It was just too commercialised. I mean, 'Got The Life' is catchy and shit, but hardly integral Korn. Plus, 'All In The Family' was an immediate skip. Then again, I tended to remember liking stuff about Follow The Leader that others I knew didn't. Like Cameltosis (mostly the intro really) and My Gift To You.

Whilst I've heard Untouchables, I don't really rate it, and I haven't heard anything since. 'Chi' is probably my favourite song. That or 'Faget'. The breakdowns in both just rock the shit.

That said, I think that period of time - 94 to 98 - was a strong time for metal anyway. 'Korn', 'Life Is Peachy', 'Adrenaline', 'Around The Fur' Sepultura's 'Roots', Manson's 'Antichrist Superstar' - that shit was crazy back then, he was like Satan. Even though Manson's music is watered down rubbish with too much wordplay these days, you have to admit that 'A.S.' was a powerful album, and 'Mechanical Animals' was very well written.

Then in 99, Slipknot came and killed off Nu-Metal, because nobody could keep up with them. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, 'cause I really like 'Slipknot' and especially, 'Iowa'. Deftones were always doing their own thing anyway, and just kept on seperating themselves. Korn had commercialised themselves and went really far off. Bizkit were pretty much the same, but were getting attacked by everybody like Reznor and Slipknot - they were like the Anti-Korn, oddly enough. Manson was no longer public enemy no. 1 after Columbine died down, and he of all bands/artists couldn't keep up with Slipknot, they kinda took the crown.

With 'real' Nu Metal dead, we got lots of crappy bands flogging the dead horse like Papa Roach and such, rock returned with QOTSA and 'Rated R', and everyone involved in that initial period just fizzled out or went elsewhere, and we got 'White Pony'.

In the case of the Deftones, thank fuck.

They upload a new song, called "I Will Protect You", on their myspace page.( http://www.myspace.com/korn). I can't understand why they don't give up!

[theis]

They keep getting worse.

New song is terrible! 

[jbmp1390]

They used to be amazing. Now they suck. Time to quit

[Glenn]

how come people give a funk?

[Subliminal]

It's fuckin' pure shit, They really need to give up or change their name.

They've ruined the history of KoRn by the shit they've written ever since Head left.

Pure sellouts through and through.

I liked them a long time ago when their first couple albums came out (wow i'm old).  But after that nu-metal in general began going downhill.  It's not so much that the music quality faltered in my opinion, but that tastes "evolved" so-to-speak.  I think a lot of people felt dragged down by nu-metal's constant theme: life sucks, I want to die. Bla bla bla.  And the mixture of these angst ridden lyrics, low-end guitar playing and the subcultures that grew out of nu-metal (ie. the whole weird slipknot thing online).

People sort of, in my opinion, craved more...thus I think that's why more progressive metal came to stand before nu-metal.  It was a short-lived genre, and I'll certainly be nostalgic about it - and KoRn too mind you. But metal just seems to own for me. 

I just thought I'd share my theory on why I think KoRn isn't as popular as it once was.  I give them points for originality (back in the day) though...these days they just seem to be doing the same old thing.

u guys probably know about neidermeyer's mind, the demo they recorded before they were signed and there's a lossless (flac) version out on the internet. had it but my comp got formatted..does anyone have it?

[Slacker]

well i saw yesterday the live stream for the rock am ring show they did, and damn they had the crowd going, i havent seen a Korn show in a long time, and they putted a really good show. Cool/Uncool parts:

Cool:They are playing with Joey from Slipknot, man... it aint as fit yet, but when he puts that dumble bass drumm on some songs, man it sounds heavy.
Uncool:They are using two "percussionists" if you can call them like that, yeah those guys with mask and paited faces you see everywhere, man they are TOTALLY UNNECESARY. The other guy who does keyboards, well o can take it, cause he aint doing much. And the other who plays the 2nd Guitar does his job, although they really need to take good guitarrist, they have the money, and including a good guitarrist would improve things, at list thats my opinion.

Cool: They Sounded Tight, Ok Stage Presence.
Uncool: Dude, Jon takes O2 (Oxigen) from a canister with the help of like a nurse guy in between songs, it looks pathetic.

Uncool: They are coping to much from Slipknot, The Drummer (wich im ok with cause he rocks), Percussionist wich are so unnecesary, and they are doing the "spit it out" thing with the crowd, wich actually works and it looked awsome on tv, but it gets annoying when you realize that is just a copy.

so did i enjoyed the show: yes.
would i pay for one: if joey is on it, and they loose those guys. yes.

i like Korn, really every album for the most part. i liked the last one(however it should have never been made) Munky stepped up & made some cool riffs, & the tone of his guitar on the album is awesome

but...i thought they should have quit once Head left. he was the best part of the band. i know why they didn't though, cause they can make massive amounts of money staying Korn, but Head is long gone, & David is now gone....it's barely Korn anymore. time to throw in the towel

imagine if Stephen & Abe left deftones, & they kept going without them

[Black Elvis]

I feel sorry for people that have to constantly ruin their ear drums buying these records. Seek an audiologist.

[Hidalgo]

i haven't bought one of their albums since FTL in 1998. burned all the others since

[Sleep]

LMAO

[theis]

They should rename Korn to "The Jon, Munky & Fieldy band".
