they are good but the new single sounds a lot like a previous song they did.
 
Love the heaviness, this is more the Korn I like. Definitely picking this one up.
 
Saw them live 2 years ago, it was a lot of fun. Played a lot of their older stuff.
 
I like the new stuff but ive seen a few people say it sucks, still sounds like korn to me and i like their music.

Cool video. The chattering teeth dudes remind me of the guy in the Hellraiser movies.

Just not into Korn though.
 
I'm an 80s metal guy but Korn and Slipknot are two bands I've always loved and found some kind of connection with. It is weird because I'm not a big fan of a lot of other bands from that timeframe.

The new songs I've heard are freaking awesome and blows my mind that anyone wouldn't like that.

That video your friend did is amazing man. I saw that a few weeks ago and it was like a classic creepy vibe. Love it!
 
I love the new record. Reminds me of the most recent one, that was just butt-sexx'd by "Untouchables"...
 
Cool videos, not a fan of the band at all. Never liked them or Slipknot.

Agreed 100%.

I will add however that as much as I don't care for Slipknot, I've seen them live and they're an amazingly tight band. Was thoroughly impressed. Same exact thing with Five Finger Death Punch. Don't care for them at all but saw them live and they were amazing.
Still don't listen to them though :no: Just not my thing, just like Korn. But if Korn came close to where I am, I'd probably check em out live.
 
I tell ya, when these guys came out in the 90's I fucking HATED them. I was 14-15 when the first album came out and all my friends were freaking out over it, but if it wasn't Vai or Petrucci, I didn't care. It was the opposite of what I dug about music, especially guitar playing. My buddies convinced me to go see them, it was riiiiiight before the "Got The Life" video hit MTV and they blew up, they put on such a killer show and I could actually hear the guitars better live than on the records, it really changed my perspective on them. I've seen them 5-7x since then and they've ALWAYS put on a killer show.

Wasn't a big fan of the electronic/dubstep stuff so much, but once Head got back in the band they started ripping it up again. Really digging the new stuff.....they only get better at tracking those guitars as time goes on.

I dig the innocence in their use of 7-strings. No one was touching them when they started out, they weren't following trends or any of that....if anything, they were going the total opposite direction of early 90's "metal". They guitars weren't tight, focused and in your face, they were sludgy, borderline farty and loose and now there's plentttttty of options for those of us that dig the 7's.
 
I'm totally an 80's guy, but always liked Korn a lot. I hated all the grunge lack of musicality of the 90's, there was no way I was going to go from Dokken and Metallica to frikkin Nirvana crap. But the 90's big riffers carried the torch for me, from Pantera to RATM to Korn, music with some balls to it.

When Korn hit big in the mid 90's, it kind of made me feel a little bit like when Metallica was young and hungry in the 80's, it was cool to see that raw energy again.
 
I'm digging the new album. It's definitely a lot better IMHO then the past 2 or 3 albums!

I was calling out the part of the 90's I found cool. I just didn't like the more pure grunge bands as much (mostly because I was still gigging heavily in the 90's and I found those bands totally boring to cover) which is the part you quoted, that's just my taste, but yeah, I found plenty of good stuff in that decade.

We actually agree on a number of bands...Zeppelin, Metallica, RATM, Korn, Deftones. Some we don't. It's OK.

And I could not be a bigger Pantera fan, nobody's "schooling" me on that one.

Not a Korn fan....in fact I hated most of the 'NuMetal' shit when it came out. But, they are one of the founding fathers of that movement and deserve respect as such. They were innovative and nothing really has come since them that resembles their sound or style. Not my thing but they are unique.
 
When their first album came out, I was one of the biggest Korn fans you would ever find. That first album just sounded so raw and explosive. Over the years, I drifted away from that kind of music...especially after David Silvera left the band.. and now, I really can't even stand listening to it at all. The new stuff sounds formulaic and boring to me. I still have to give them credit though, they went their own way and gained huge success doing it.
 
Just flipped on the sub (JBL LSR 308s + LSR4312SP) and was not disappointed. I leave it off most of the time unless I am mixing.
