Korn

[Adunauriel]

I figured since Ronin, IImare, & I had taken over the Blue thread talking about them. Maybe we needed a thread of our own. This way the Blue thread could get back to talking about Blue. And, we still have a place to talk about Korn.

So here it is People I hope you enjoy it.......:thumbs: :evilcool:

[Bonos-Girl]

that's a brilliant idea..the amount of stuff posted about korn in other threads! tut tut!!! lol lol

[Adunauriel]

Well I'm glad I could help.......lol ;)

[TheRingBearer]

Korn are cool. I like Here to Stay :thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Korn... what can i say?? The best gig i've ever seen ... Glasgow SECC.. September 11th this year,... and you all know i have a li'l thing for Jonathan!;) :naughty: lol
So... let's start this off with... favourite Korn tracks.......
1. Make Me Bad
2. Here To Stay
3. Freak On A Leash
4. Got The Life
5 Blind
6. Beat It Upright
7. Clown
8. Dead Bodies Everywhere
9. Blame
10. Falling Away From Me

.. ok... someone else's turn:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

I've heard some of the songs on your list. As of yet thou I don't own a cd of theirs, but I'm planning on buying one soon...... 'Untouchables' was recommended by Ronin.... So I'll have to check it out......;)

[Bonos-Girl]

i love the video for freak on a leash!!!! it's soooo cool!!!

[Ilmarë]

:cool: Yeah Adun... if you don't have a Korn cd.. "Untouchables" is the best one to start with as it has spawned successful singles already .."Here To Stay", "Thoughtless" and "Alone I Break".

:rolleyes: Ah Ronin...it took a li'l while... and me going on and on..(and on ..and on)..about what a great album it was... but i was so glad when u bought it.. finally;) lol I know u love it, hon... despite your protests!:naughty: ;) lol lol And you were right... "Follow The Leader" is probably one of the best albums ever.

B-G... "Freak on a Leash".... very, very cool vid ... absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Jonathan is wearing a kilt in it!:naughty: ;) lol
The vids for "Make Me Bad", "A.D.I.D.A.S." and "Got The Life" are brilliant too.:cool:

[Bonos-Girl]

i don't have sky so i haven't seen any of them....i think that most music videos are cool!!!

[Ilmarë]

Well.. Korn videos are always a little..different B-G. Freak on a Leash is getting a lot of play atm on the Kerrang Chnnel here i the UK.
Personally... i love the vids for "Here To Stay", "Make Me Bad" and " A.D.I.D.A.S.".... all of them very different ... disturbing.. but awesome.:cool:

[Bonos-Girl]

i haven't seen any of them (as i said before) and i've only seen freak on a leash twice...although for the amount of time i've spent watching kerrang thats qiute amazing!!!!

[Ilmarë]

lol Keep watching Kerrang then B-G... you're bound to see "Here To Stay".... and if its after 10pm... "A.D.I.D.A.S." is aired from time to time.:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Sadly, I haven't seen any of there videos... Our stupid cable company doesn't give us any MTV type stations.... They (cable company) suck.......:angry: ;)

[Ilmarë]

And they're California boys too!!!! That's a disgrace. Pity you haven't seen any .... they're cool!:cool:

Anyone seen them live??

[Bonos-Girl]

no..i want to but have never had the chance, have you ilmare?

[Ilmarë]

:grin: Yup!!! Saw them in Glasgow on September 11th .... awesome!!:thumbs: .. it's a bit late now... but i'll post a report.

[Adunauriel]

Your so lucky IImare... I haven't been to a concert in ages....:(

[Ilmarë]

I'm pretty new to the Korn fold.Had bought "Untouchables"... loved it... had heard the singles... but not a lot else. When some friends and i were up at the Nickelback gig in August.. we saw the poster for the Korn gig... and just decided to go.
I was really looking for ward to seeing Puddle Of Mudd, who were supporting them, but the just stankpfbbt
I've been to a lot of gigs in my time... but Korn were just awesome ... they just got up there and played... so well... no chatting unneccessarily in between songs... just a full on salvo.
The best gig i've ever been to... can hardly wait to see them again!!notworthy notworthy
Oh.. yeah:blush: ... Jonathan in a leather kilt....:naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: lol

Btw... you can see this year's tour.. its out on dvd now ... Korn.. live at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Adun... so sorry you haven't seen anything in a while. This year i've seen Korn, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd and Trust company. Next year... Chili Peppers:cool: ... and I'm being dragged along to ...:blush: Bon Jovi!!!!!!!

[Bonos-Girl]

hee hee...bon jovi are ok.....crush is an ok album.....
the chilis are great live...i saw them a couple of years ago.

[Adunauriel]

I almost got the chance to go to this free concert that Smashmouth threw. Over in San Jose, but plans fell through at the last minute.. Sucks too, cause I could of met the band and everything.... :(

[Ilmarë]

That really sucks Adun!! Maybe you'll get another chance to go soon.:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Yep, maybe I will.... Just a bit if background on that story..... My brother is in a band, local nothing big, yet...... They played in this local Radio station birthday bash thing about 5, or so years ago. There they met the lead guitarist (Greg Camp) for Smashmouth, when he bought one of ther CDs and loved it... So he got them incontact with a manager.. Basically started really trying to hook them up... In addition he helped them get the chance to play this free concert, and they did as one of the opening acts.

[Ilmarë]

:cool: Excellent Adun!! I'm currently attempting to manage a local band... called the Corndollies. ... who have aspirations to have Korn appear in their first video:elfeek: lol .... not that i would complain about that, you understand... especially if Jon is in kilt mode :naughty: ;) lol lol

[Adunauriel]

I understand...;) Certain men in Kilts get me too........lol

[Ilmarë]

:thumbs: hehehehe.... a kindred spirit!!!:cool: lol

[Scarlett Angel]

there are places that you can download the music videos, just do a search. I have almost every video that they have made on my computer so I can see all the boys whenever I want. I have to disagree that untouchables is the best cd to start with, start at the beginning with their first CD which is self titled, that is a really awesome CD

[Adunauriel]

I'll have to check it out......;) Thanks, Scarlett Angel.......:)

[Ilmarë]

The first album IS awesome.... I just thought "Untouchables" was perhaps a little more accessible to someone who hasn't yet bought a Korn album.
Which is your favourite Korn track, Scarlett Angel?

[Scarlett Angel]

Well, my favorite Korn track...hmmmm.....well I really like Freak on a leash and ADIDAS, but.....Blind is such a great track. So Blind is at the top of my favorite Korn track list with Make me Bad(I like the music for it)following that.
I got to see them Live in October, they were great, a lot of energy. Another great band to see is Mudvayne and Flaw. But I got to go to Ozzfest this past summer and that was awesome, System of a Down can put on a show.

[Ilmarë]

Absolutely agree. "Blind" is just about the best opener on a first album i've ever heard.... tho i love "Clown" too.
Gosh.. I just tried to do this myself and realised i couldn't pick just one track. I guess "Blind" from "Korn".. and "Daddy" but that's just so difficult to listen to.. so upsetting. Erm... "A.D.I.D.A.S" from "Life is Peachy"..... "Freak.." , "Got The Life" and "Pretty" from "Follow The Leader"........ "Falling Away From Me", "Trash" and "Make Me Bad" from "Issues".... "Here To Stay", "Blame""Beat It Upright" and "No One's There" from "Untouchables"
Phew... got there eventually!;) lol

[Bonos-Girl]

i'm really bad at picking favourite tracks off albums too...i end up saying 'oh i really like this track...but hang on this is on that album too' etc!!!!

[Ilmarë]

I agree B-G... and of course, different songs mean different things at different points in our lives. Top Ten lists etc always change... but that's a good thing i think.:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Yep, Variety is the spice fo life, as they say... Who they are I have no Idea, but they say it........;)

[Ilmarë]

:cool: Nice one Adun!!
Okay... I think i'll start off a Korn Quotes thing. I want to change my sig again. Now the Jon quote i have is ok... but i'd like another one... so.. i'll post in here... and it would be cool if you guys could help me choose!

[Adunauriel]

I like the " I don't care what people think......" quote. Should be the way more people think & feel..... Or, maybe that's just me....;)

[Ilmarë]

Thank you Adun... I'm trying to get ones that i find are relative to me as a person... and both of those are. Actuall, i found a really good quote from Fieldy... "It's a sick world, but somebody's gotta make it groove":thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Originally posted by Ilmarë
"It's a sick world, but somebody's gotta make it groove":thumbs: This is the one I would go with Ilmare... It's cool & funny....;)

[Ilmarë]

Ok... here are another couple... what do you think?
"You laugh at me because i'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same"
or
"Be yourself and let you come through"

[Adunauriel]

It's hard to choose there all really cool.;) :thumbs:

[Lintefaniel]

I looove Korn! It's been forever since I heard A.D.I.D.A.S. and I know a Korn song when I hear it though I couldn't tell you the name of most. Jonathan Davis is just messed up to be normal!! I think he's a brilliant, versatile artist. I had to have the QotD soundtrack when I found out he was a main part of it's production. Have you seen the Diary show MTV (or VH1 I forget) put out a couple years ago? It was splendid!! lol ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

Ilmare...i don't think you should choose the 'you laugh at me cos i'm different....' one cos its kinda overused!...i like the rest of them though

[Ilmarë]

Linte.... you were my friend already... but now... i think i love u!!!! I didn't know u were into Korn!!! OMG.... I'll be expecting you to pop in here all the time now!!:cool:
Yeah... Jonathan is a messed up puppy... but i admire him so much. To get up in front of the world and discuss the abuse he went thru... still lives with... and how it has affected him... so he can help kids out who feel and go through the same.. well, i respect the man more than i can ever say. Plus.....he's just sooooo hot!!!!! :naughty: lol
So... what are your favourite Korn tracks? Have u seen them? I haven't seen the MTV diaries but i do have the dvds they released... the live at Hammerstein gig is amazing!!!!
I bought the QotD soundtrack immediately it came out too... because of Jonathan's involvement... it is fantastic.

B-G... i kind of thought so too.... can't use most of Jonathan's quotes...which is a shamelol

[Ilmarë]

:cool: Ok, ok... i know, i've posted twice in a row... so shoot me!!
Adun.. i decided on the sigs... but i still want to find a real cracker.. so they may change again!lol

[Adunauriel]

It's a good siggy, but if it changes every so often it's ok too.... I haven't changed mine in awhile, but that's cause I've got it just right for now. Probably wont change it again, but I never say never.....;)

[Ilmarë]

:cool: Thank u Adun!:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Your Welcome Ilmare.....;)

[Lintefaniel]

Oh Ilmarë, I think I love you too!! Especially your contribution of the quote from Jonathan....."I like biting people" ME TOOO!! I love biting!!! I think it's terribly fun....but anyways..I'll post more later....;)

[Ilmarë]

:wicked: Yay Linte!! I too like to exercise the fangs when i get the chance!!! Would love to sink them into Jonathan;) :naughty: :naughty:

[Adunauriel]

Naughty, naughty Ilmare.....;) lol

[Ilmarë]

:naughty: ..*sighs*... just telling the truth... hmm.. forgot to put that on my list to Santa..... rats!!;) lol lol

[Adunauriel]

Yea, it sucks when you remember something after it's too late. I didn't even bother sending Santa a list.. I don't think he could deliver me Orlando....;) It would be nice of he could....;)

[Lintefaniel]

O! I love that you're sooooo silly. Do you suppose Billy would mind terribly if I bite him? I really like biting....:naughty:

[Adunauriel]

I think he might if you just walked up to him & bit.....;)

[Ilmarë]

lol This is turning into a right little vamp fest.lol :naughty: lol
Ok.. we better get this back on track before we get a trouting from B-G!!
Korn... Why do you think people hate them so much?:rolleyes:

[Blind-Guard]

Haha. Don't worrie! I won't get mad! I''v heard some of their song to, their bass is a bid overblown I think but o well, gues some people like 'm.

[Ilmarë]

You are most welcome to our little Korn fest, Blind - Guard. Its ok.. feel free to say what u feel.... I won't bite... :naughty: ... oh, ok.. maybe i will... and so will Lin.. but you'll be fine!!!lol

[Adunauriel]

I don't bite, so don't worry about me Blind-Guard, and welcome to our little Korner of the Forum... Feel free to talk of anything Korn you like, or dislike.... I'll do my best to keep the biters at bay....;)

[Ilmarë]

I don't bite.... hard:naughty: lol
Here's a quote... by Jonathan of course... but maybe this is why some don't like them much.....
"We're vulgar and abscene, so what? Because we're that way, no one can censor us because of what we represent. No one has the right to do that..... America is too ****ing uptight"

[Adunauriel]

Americans can be pretty uptight, but I'm not one of them... I enjoy listening to Korn, and no one can stop me...:evilcool:

[Lintefaniel]

Yes, it is true, I do bite! But only when I am asked. Or if the urge is too strong! I know why most people don't like Korn, (or the reason I have heard most often), they simply don't give **** and that is really annoying to others. I personally don't care! I figure treat people how you want to be treated and if it's not reflected back, then it's out of your hands! I love Korn.....and nibbles...;)

[Blind-Guard]

Some people like this, some people like that. I like lots of different music styles. So I'm not like bound to one thing. It's from Dream Theater to Cradle to Korn. People who are like bound to one style are missing something in my view.

[Keverzwijn]

My god. I had no idea there was a korn thread on this forum. I am a huge Korn fan. I first heard 'Here to stay' on the radio and really liked it. Bought the album and liked it better. Went to see them on Pukkelpop 2002 and went totally frenzy. I downloaded all their albums to come to the conclusion that the previous are even better than untouchables. I love their first album and Issues. I love 'em because they know how to put real emotions into songs. Not the fake bull**** that you hear everyday. I like Clown, Blind, Faget, Dirty, Alone I break, Trash, Lowrider, twist, Daddy, Justin, and so many more I can't think of now. After listening to all their songs I must admitt that they went downhill since theier first albums. I mean really nowadays isn't what they used to be. They kinda lost their balls. What do you think.

[Blind-Guard]

I think your right. the are a bit, well softer in a way (sounds wierd I know). I like their old stuff better also. And I also love the first one. And Follow the leader is also very good.

[Ilmarë]

:whoohoo: Hey there Kev!! Welcome to our Korn Korner!!:cool:
I too am a HUGE Korn fan... tho, I.. like u... came to them pretty late. Saw them in September and was totally blown away by them.
I've already posted my favourite tracks ... so u can go back and check that out if you want. I have all their albums, dvd's.... and a couple of bootleg cd's of gigs from this tour. I also have a Jonathan doll... complete with Geiger mic stand!! Am i obsessed??? Dern right I am!!lol ;)
I agree with you. I love them because of the raw emotion.... the utter energy and feeling Jonathan puts into his singing because of his experiences... plus.. i love that downtuned 7 string guitar sound. Awesome.
I can't agree tho that they went down hill after the first album. I think that as a band they've matured... refined and redefined their sound. Lost their balls?? Nah.. even with "Untouchables".. which is probably their most musically accomplished album.... "Here To Stay", "Blame", "Beat It Upright"... they totally kick a**!!!!.... :flamer:

[Keverzwijn]

Don't get me wrong, I like Untouchables but it didn't contain any real emotions for me. Ok, I haven't seen all the lyrics and maybe they're hidden somewhere but still. I really liked 'Alone I break' on Untouchables cause it was different from their other songs, in that case they matured. Their choruses totally rule on that album. And by loosing their balls, I also mean that it isn't really about the music anymore, it's about money. When I saw them on Pukkelpop, the thing that blew me away was the roaring audience, the sheer atmosphere of the gig. Jon wasn't singing that great, I've seen him do better on liveacts. He's loosing it a bit but let's not let Korn down just yet ladies and gentlemen. I'll cut them some slack for what they have done and I still have respect for them.

P.S. yes, you're obsessed:grin:

[Adunauriel]

I hear them on the radio, and can alway tell a Korn song from any other band.. I can't relly tell a difference from there old stuff to there new, but I've got a good ear... I'm hopeing to get a cd of theirs soon, but have no money at the moment... When I've got the cash thou. I'll be sertain to pick one up. Probably go with Untouchables, as Ilmare has recommended it as a good starter album...;)

[Blind-Guard]

Youcan see that with Metallica to now. They've been harder. Not that many bands can stay the same, even if they want to.

[Keverzwijn]

I recommend Their first album, Korn, or Issues. Both are very good but it really doesn't matter where you start. I started with Untouchables too. There are other ways to get their CD's if you don't have enough money. It's not like they haven't earned enough.

[Adunauriel]

Yea, it happens.. Some bands that start out rockin' end up falling into the Comercialization Pit... It's a sad day when you realize your favorite band has done that...;)

[Ilmarë]

Thing is... i don't think Korn have fallen into commerciality and i don't think they ever will. Sure they're earning more... and are playing stadia now... but they're one of the only bands out there who are still true to their fans... going to court for them etc. They have evolved.... as all bands should... but they are still the fathers of the Nu Metal movement. Many have tried to copy them but have had only a fraction of the success.
As for albums... I'd say start with Untouchables... its as good a place to start as any... but would recommend Follow The Leader and Korn. You can download the albums... Korn themselves don't care if fans do it.. in fact they're totally into fans bootlegging gigs etc... even tho they miss out on royalties.

[Blind-Guard]

I don't think Korn is selling out or something. Untouchables is still heavy and dark and all... Their not in any way like Metallica who have been the hardest of all. I've been a fan of them from since their Balck Album but now I don't like 'm any more. I'll have to await their new album but..........

[Lintefaniel]

Right on for Die Hard Fans!! I have to say I completely agree with allll of you!! It's so easy for bands to sell out to commercialism of success and many of them do. Korn and Metallica are some I that I don't think have. I know that Metallica seems to be on shakey ground lately with Jason leaving and all, but I still think they hold true to their reason for starting a band in the first place. It's about making music! That is usually the reason most good bands happen. Because they have found the one outlet that helps them say all that there is inside of them to say. If you're just lucky enough to blast out of the garage and make it huge, the best thing you can do is maintain a cool head about why your there in the first place! And Korn, Metallica as well as many other groups, seem to still be in it for making music. My personal opinion is everyone goes through a dry spot artistically sometimes....;)

[Keverzwijn]

OK, I am not kidding you. When I saw Korn on Pukkelpop 2002 Jon was using an autoque(I don't know the exact English word, you know a bord with texts you have to say) cause he couldn't remember his lyrics. They only played their greatest hits so it wasn't that hard. Ofcourse I didn't see it with my own eyes but it has been confirmed by a few serious magazines.

[Bonos-Girl]

omg....thats really weird....why coudn't he remember the lyrics.....if they were songs that weren't that fampous then i could understand it but.......:huh:

[Keverzwijn]

Just fot the record KoRn is still my favorite band. I do not hate them. They make great music. I just don't like what they have become.

[Ilmarë]

Jon used an autocue on this tour because they did a section from Metallica's "One".. plus they more or less went out on tour after finishing "Untouchables"... so he had the aurocue there for the newer songs... just incase he forgot them.
Nothing new in using autocues tho... Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins used one all the time:grin:

[Blind-Guard]

Rob Halford even admitted he's jusing one in his own band Halford, for every song. He's getting old! New trend on it's way? Hope not. So much with interaction with the audience! If it's like for just one song, well, fine. But not a whole show!

[Ilmarë]

I hope not Bilnd-Guard... certainly couldn't have gotten much more audience interraction at the Korn gig in Glasgow...short of us all invading the stagelol :thumbs:

[Blind-Guard]

I went to a Dream Theater concert on september 4th. And those guys don't interact, they almost are the audience. Mike Portnoy (drummer) kept trowing his sticks to us. I listened to the latest Korn album today. I'm liking it more and more.

[Adunauriel]

You guys are so lucky to have seen them on Concert... I haven't been to a good concert in years...:(

[Blind-Guard]

Well', I have seen Korn only once, at dynamo 2000. Great concert. They where on just before a small band called Iron Maiden.

[Adunauriel]

Yea, a small band.....;) lol Iron Maiden, Who are they?...;) lol

[Blind-Guard]

what, you don't know them?;) :)

[Ilmarë]

Strange the way things go... Maiden would probably have to support Korn now!!!:cool:

[Lintefaniel]

heee hee ;) lol

[Queen of Gondor]

I have to say Korn are really hot and their music rocks:cool:

I also think Munky would look good as Aragorn;)

[Ilmarë]

lol Maybe Queenie... can't see Jon as Legolas tho'.... Eomer maybe;) :naughty: lol

[Adunauriel]

[Lintefaniel]

Silly Elf girl, so silly. Who is getting Korn CD's for Christmas?

[Ilmarë]

:( Not me..... I already have them all!!!!lol :grin: But it will still be a Korny Kristmas!!:thumbs:

[Keverzwijn]

Does anyone know the christmas song by Korn?

[Ilmarë]

;) U mean Jingle B*lls???

[Keverzwijn]

I think so, the lyrics go something like this; "it was the night before christmas, everybody was high. I tripped over my ***...'
I can't remember all but it goes a bit like that.

[Adunauriel]

[Lintefaniel]

[Ilmarë]

Excellent!!... a very Korny Kristmas for Queenie!! The live dvd and Deuce!!

[Adunauriel]

I sadly didn't get my Korn Cd for Kristmas... It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm hoping to get it soon....;)

[Ilmarë]

:( Sorry to hear that, Adun.... on the up side... apparently Korn are desperate to get back into the studio post New Year to record a new album.. then they want to tour after that!!! Yay!!!!!:grin:

[Adunauriel]

Yep, it sounds pretty good to me....;) :cool:

[Keverzwijn]

The new picture you have really rocks Adunauriel.

[Adunauriel]

Thanks Kev... I think I'll keep it for awhile.... Oh, and WooHoo!! for me.... :whoohoo: I got my Korn Cd today.....;) :) :grin:

[Keverzwijn]

Wich one??

[Adunauriel]

'Follow the Leader'. I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet, but I will as soon as I can.... I have heard some of the songs on it thou, so I'm pretty sure I'll like it...;) :thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Cool!! That's one of the one's i gave to Queenie for her Christmas/birthday! Just remember that it starts on track 13;) lol lol

[Adunauriel]

Yep, I remember... Does that mean that it's the second Album?;) :)

[Ilmarë]

lol nope... no.3 Adun!;)

[Adunauriel]

Well, then I was totally Kornfused. I thought because it started at 13, it was the second album....:( ;) :thumbs: lol

[Lintefaniel]

hahahahahaha, silly elf girl! Did you enjoy your Korn present? I thought of you when I told Santa to send it....;)

[Adunauriel]

Oh, please cousin... You didn't know any better then me......:p pfbbt
And, yes I did enjpy my Korny present.......lol

[Ilmarë]

Its Korn... what's not to like??? :naughty: Jonathan... yum!!!lol

[Adunauriel]

I guess there's nothing not to like.....;) lol

[Ilmarë]

Ok... so what do we think the new album will be like? More in the same vein as "Untouchables" ... or more like the earlier stuff?

[Bonos-Girl]

i think it will be more like untouchables than earlier stuff...but i don't know (obv!!)

[Adunauriel]

I hope it's a cool blend of the old & new....:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Read somewhere that Jonathan is into expanding his vocal range and singing instead of just shouting now... so i guess it will be more like "Untouchables".... but that's no bad thing... i LOVE that album:cool:

[Adunauriel]

I ordered it & 'Issues", so I'll have them both soon..:thumbs:

[Keverzwijn]

God, I hope it's more like their earlier albums. And why shouldn't Jon shout. He shouts nice.

[Ilmarë]

Of course he shouts nice... i like it... but he's not into it as much any more.

[Adunauriel]

It's the way it should be, their music should pregress & change along with the members of the band.... I think it's ok, if the new Cd is like 'Untouchables'. I wouldn't mind thou, if it was also like there older stuff....:)

[Ilmarë]

Hmm... kinda "Blind" meets "Beat It Upright" u mean?;) lol

[Adunauriel]

I will have to agree... I must admit thou, that I haven't heard alot of the older stuff... Mainly just what got played on the radio...:thumbs: :)

[Ilmarë]

Well, the self titled first album is universally recognised as being unique... the first in the genre ... and really made Korn the daddy of all Nu Metal bands. Its an amazing album... very raw... brutal and uncompromising.
All the tracks are fantastic... especially "Daddy" but i've only listened to it twice.... i just can't take the sound of Jonathan crying... its heartbreaking.

[Adunauriel]

Is there forst album self titled, or what... I'm thinking I wouldn't mind checking it out....:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Yes Adun.. its self titled. Has some absolute stormers on it like "Blind" and "Clown"... do yourself a favour and buy it!:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

I sure will, if I can find it.....:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Should be easy enough, Adun.... enjoy when u do get it!

[Adunauriel]

I shall.......................:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Ok.. next question... what's your favourite track on "Untouchables" and why?

And a Happy Birthday!!! to Jonathan....:birthday:

[Ilmarë]

Well, its about blooming time u did!!!lol Jonathan is 32 today, Kev!!

[Adunauriel]

I know, it's my bad.. I'll listen to it soon, I promise...;) :)

[Keverzwijn]

Man, he looks older. BTW, I really like 'one more time' on 'untouchables'. Now that's a chorus you just gotta sing along with. It rules.

[Ilmarë]

Hey... Jonathan looks ... lovely.. in a kind of strange way!lol One More Time... really sing along. Love it. I love Here To Stay.... it was very relevant in a period of my life... and i just can't get away from it.

[Keverzwijn]

I hope it's not the 'each cut closer to the vein' part that is relavant to you. Would you mind to talk about it?

[Ilmarë]

Ach.. no worries there Kev... no, its not that bit i took to heart... the chorus mainly. Was just a very dark time in my life and I found that that song got me thru.. i could relate to the lyrics... oh, and "Blame" too. I could get beyond my grief and just get so angry... could vent my frustrations and rage at the world thru the album... so i've got a lot to thank Korn for.

[Adunauriel]

Sounds like you do... I've found that Music is very helpful at times in my life....:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

We must get Queenie in here... I gave her "Deuce" and "Live at the Hammerstein dvds for her Xmas and birthday..... see what she thinks:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Yep, I think we need a new perspective... No ofence to anyone...:thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

I just got two more Korn CDs... Issues, & Untouchables...:thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

like 'em? ok....stoopid question! lol

[Adunauriel]

Yep, there good.....:thumbs: lol

[Bonos-Girl]

y'know? i would never have guessed! lol lol hehe

[Adunauriel]

Yea, I've managed to keep it so well hidden.....lol lol ;)

[Blind-Guard]

I love Untouchables! when al hope fades there are still a few bands incuding Korn to save the day (I've been in poetry class lol ).
BTW what do we think about the Metallica summer tour with Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park???

[Adunauriel]

Sounds pretty cool to me, but I'm not sure I'd go to the Concert... Even if they were comeing to a town near me...:grin:

[Blind-Guard]

I'm defenitly not going the any of them. I don't live in the U.S. lol . They are coming to Nijmegen here in Holland for the Fields of Rock (lame name) festival. Together with Voivod (JASON(IC)

BTW does anyone know if Korn are coming to Holland (Europe is fine to) I like to see them again!

[Ilmarë]

As far as we know... Korn are already back writing a new album ... will record fairly soon all being well, then back on the road again... including Europe.

[Keverzwijn]

Let them please come to Pukkelpop 2003 in Belgium and Please let them make a good album and not sell out.

[Ilmarë]

lol ... calm Kev... calm!!! We were getting all excited too because they were supposed to be one of the headliners at the Ozzfest at Donnington this year... but doesn't look that way nowmecry

Ach.. "Untouchables" wasn't a sell out. It's a fantastic album... a progression form the early stuff.
;)

[Adunauriel]

Yep, Untouchables is a great Album.. Every band has to spread it wings and try new things to see how they work... If they don't, then how will they get better.... :grin:

[Ilmarë]

I just think that Untouchables is as heavy and raw in places as Korn was. The production may be a bit more sophisticated but essentially... the songs in their raw state... just excellently crafted.
Oh .. and pfbbt verymad pfbbt .... Korn ARE headlining the Ozzfest in the States this year.. along with Disturbed... and i go back to work a week before i could have gone to the Charlotte datemecry mecry Never mind... if you go to it.. you'll have to put up with Cradle of Filth too... lol roflmao roflmao lol

[Adunauriel]

I think the only two places Ozzfestis hitting near me are Los Angeles, and San Francisco... So, I don't think I'll be going...:mmmm:

[Blind-Guard]

Our dear mister Filth and his gang lol roflmao they are famous now hey! roflmao

[Ilmarë]

lol roflmao roflmao roflmao lol
Ahh... the lovely Mr. Filth... he's a sweet thing isn't he??lol

[Bonos-Girl]

dani filth is cute....seriously.

[Adunauriel]

I'll have to agree with you guys, cause I have no idea who you talking about... :huh:

[Ilmarë]

Lol... just go look up Cradle of Filth and see the gorgeouslol Mr Filth. Be afraid... be very afraid!!!lol roflmao

[Blind-Guard]

And, be AFRAID, in this case means: AFRAID!!!!!!! roflmao

In other newz, Fields of Rock is coming to Holland, it's a dutch festival so that's for sure. Metallica Linkin Park will be there. Wonder if there is a chance Korn will be there?

[Ilmarë]

Sounds like the same tour which is doing the States.. in which case it'll be Metallica, LP and Limp Bizkit. When is this happening anyway, Blind-Guard?

[Blind-Guard]

June 15, Goffertpark, Nijmegen, Holland. 2 stages plus a smaller one for 'local bands'. Guess it is a 'replament for the Dynamo festival. Hope not though.

[Bonos-Girl]

dani fillth is cute....honest! lol

[Adunauriel]

I think I'll pass, I'm afraid that you gals might be right.. Plus I'm just not brave enought to find out....lol

[Blind-Guard]

I like his music, not that much, but I like it. I bought their Cruelty and the beast album when I was on vacation a couple years ago. I listened to it at night, the first album I was scared of when I listened it. Dani might be a bit strange, he is very nice. I met him at Dynamo years back.

[Bonos-Girl]

you're very lucky...i hold to my opinion that he is cute!

i haven't got any of their albums...musics ok just never got round to buying albums!

[Blind-Guard]

With strange I don't mean I don't like him. He just looks a bit wierd at times. That's all! He's great!

The Korn's are fun to, met them once to, also at the Dynamo festival.

[Ilmarë]

:elfeek: You mean... you met Jonathan?????mecry mecry mecry

[Blind-Guard]

Hey come on, don't cry.

Whell I 'met' him, three years ago, as a fan, during a signing session. 'Talked' with him about 30 seconds. Not that much lol .

[Ilmarë]

mecry but he's my idol!!!!!!.... and he's HOT!!!!! lol
Was he nice to you?

[Adunauriel]

It's ok Ilmarë, you'll get your chance... Just keep the faith...:thumbs:

[Blind-Guard]

He is very nice! He signed my cd, and I wished him good luck for the show, he said 'thank you man'!

[Keverzwijn]

OMG, you are so lucky. The things I would do to meet KoRn... Ah, maybe when they show up in Belgium.

[Ilmarë]

:elfeek: But... its Jonathan!!! He signed your cd. You were in his presence... aarrgghh!!!!!...... lol... ok, i'll go quietly!:thumbs:

[Blind-Guard]

It was great meeting Jonathan, but I am a Metallica fan since I was 14. the guys from Met. signed my cd to, the cover of that one is totally black now lol . I love Korn and Metallica both the same. Rock on!!

[Bonos-Girl]

how do you meet all these people....i know i guy that would kill to meet metallica....he'd probably kill you if he knew (only a figure of speech...don't be too scared! lol)

[Ilmarë]

Yes.. you're very lucky. One day, i hope i'll get the chance to meet Jonathan Davis and tell him just how much his lyrics.... saved me.... got me through one of the worst times of my life.
I'm a mega-happy bunny now tho.... but i still love the band.:cool: .......... oh, and did i mention Jonathan?.... lol ;) lol

[Blind-Guard]

How do I meet these god's? well, I was at Dynamo 1998, Metallica was there to, With Jason, not with Robert! They had a signing session, so that's how I met them, not much but enough believe me!
Korn, at the same festival 2 years later, same way!
Thack god I won't be killed, I love life to much! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

lol...you are so lucky!

[Blind-Guard]

Cd signed, Lars's drumstick, plectrum from Jaymz, wathmore can you wish for! lol . No, seriously now. A lot of people where at that signing session. If you go to a concert of Metallica (and I think Korn does this to) they will have a sort of signin session just before or just after the show. If you want a drumstick, plectrum or whatever, you just need to stand very near the stage, and you need to have your luck with you! Hope that was of any help so you can have a cd signed, a drumstick or whatever from Korn or Metallica. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

[Adunauriel]

That's really cool Blind.. Now I wish I had met Smashmouth, cause then I'd have cool stroy to tell too...:grin:

[Ilmarë]

:grin: Good news guys. I read an interview with Jonathan yesterday, and apparently he has 10 new songs written for the new album... which they are in the process of recording.... and hopes it will be out just after Ozzfest!!!:whoohoo: :whoohoo: :whoohoo:

[Adunauriel]

Cool, I'll have to keep a look out for it....;)

[Gatsby]

I used to me completely utterly and hopelessly obsessed with Korn! like 2 years ago i breathed ate and sweated Korn, it was verging on unhealthy lol ... John was my idol!! he could do no evil and he was hot (only in the early days though... like before follow the leader) i had everything korn, walls covered in posters, all their cds, a flag, stickers, shirts, a messenger bag 2 signed photos... i had everything. I don't know why but for some reason, i just stopped loving them... i still listen to their cd's once in a great while but i just don't feel the same... still a brilliant band though
out
gatsby

[Ilmarë]

Not really that obsessed... not with buying merchandise and stuff. I really admire Jon a lot.. because of what he's been thru.. and that he puts it out there in a public arena.. not hiding it away. He helps so many people by doing that... others who have been abused. I'm late to the Korn fold.. but absolutely adore 'em!:grin:

[Blind-Guard]

I like the band. Obsession goes to far for me. I'm not 'obsessed' with any band.

[Ilmarë]

Probably a good thing, Blind!! Its much less expensive. The only thing i have which is bordering on the obsessional with Korn is a Jonathan doll... but i bought it because you got a replica Geiger Mic stand with it... so cool!!!
When they played in Glasgow.. the mic stand got a standing ovation!!!!lol

[Blind-Guard]

That mic stand is SUPERB! I love it!

[Adunauriel]

I'm not really obsessed with any one band either... I haven't been, since the days, of shall I say it........ New Kids on the Block... :elfeek: Ok, that's just to scary even for me....lol

[Ilmarë]

The mic stand is awesome... just beautiful. Jon has 2 - costing $50,000 each! HR Geiger has the other 3 in Switzerland, i believe. It is a beautiful work of art.:thumbs:

[Keverzwijn]

I can't really follow. Do you mean the mic shaped like a woman?Or is it an other one, could someone link me to a pic of that?

[Ilmarë]

That's the one, Kev. HR Geiger - who designed the sets and aliens in "Alien" and the subsequent films - designed the stand for him. If you want to see it better.. go to... www.hrgiger.com and click on music... then on Korn.

[Adunauriel]

That's an awesome mic stand.. I would love to see that up on stage...:thumbs:

Edit: This post was my 6,000th.... :whoohoo:

[Bonos-Girl]

wow.....well done adu!

i love the mic stand too...its so cool!

[Keverzwijn]

I'll have to post alot more to get 6000 posts, Congratulations!

[Adunauriel]

Don't worry Kev, some would say I post far too much...;)

[Keverzwijn]

Some might say that, but I do wonder where you find the time to post 45.63 post per day? I don't post that much, but most of the time I just post at the movie forums, not the other ones. Most of the stuff you post is quite relevant, I'm not saying you're a spammer. After all you've been member of the month.

[Ilmarë]

:grin: Yup.. well done Adun!! You've got WAY too much time on your hands!!lol
Back to the topic people....Korn, i believe. Does anyone out there find them at all offensive??

[Adunauriel]

Nope, I find them quite enjoyable....:thumbs:

Trust me Kev, some of my earliest posts were very spam filled...lol

[Ilmarë]

A little update from Korn.com
They had a live chat with Jonathan last week... have just read the transcript. According to him... the material for the new album - 11 songs written so far - is much rawer. He says he'll be singing AND screaming.... so he'll be pleasing us all then!!!:cool:
Oh.. and yeah... i have the chat software downloaded ... another live chat with him tonight:thumbs:

[Keverzwijn]

*Keverzwijn faints* Yessss, a raw album please!! Bring it on KoRn. Damn, I can't wait.

[Adunauriel]

Wonderful for you Ilmarë, I hope you get to ask him a good question..:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

lol I'll keep you posted, Kev!
Didn't go into the chat with Jon last night... mainly because it clashed with the qualis for the Australian GP. lol

[Adunauriel]

;) Ah, so a bit of raceing was more important huh.... lol

[Ilmarë]

lol I'm sure i'll get my chance to chat to Jon another time... it was the first race of the season... what can i say... i'm an F1 nut!!lol

[Adunauriel]

I understand, and I'm sure the chance to chat with Jon will happen again...;)

[Ilmarë]

I'm sure it will, Adun:thumbs: For those that are interested... the tickets for Ozzfest have gone on presale.

[Adunauriel]

Sadly for me there isn't a concert location close enough for me to even worry about buying a ticket...:(

[Alatar]

Is Korn comeing to Austalia :O

[Ilmarë]

When the new album is released, yeah, i think they're planning to

[Ilmarë]

:) Oops... double post!! I just checked back... and yeah, Jon said online that they're definitely coming to Oz :thumbs:

[Adunauriel]

Coll for all those 'Oz'ies out there... My Uncle saw Korn way back when they toured with Metallica.... He didn't care for them much thou....:grin:

[Ilmarë]

:elfeek: What?? I can't believe it!!! Has the man no taste???;) lol lol

[Adunauriel]

Ah, he just doesn't know good music.. I don't know, maybe he's a little coo-coo..... lol

[Ilmarë]

lol Time for you to re-educate him then, Adun!! ;) roflmao

[Adunauriel]

Ah, I had all three of my CDs over at his place when I went with him to LA a few weeks ago, but he didn't want to listen to them....:(

[Ilmarë]

Hmm... wait till he's sleeping next time... then slip some headphones on him... stick an album on repeat.. and he'll wake up knowing all the lyrics!!;) lol roflmao

[Adunauriel]

Or, he'd wake up and break my CD... Not a reaction I'd want to happen...

[Bonos-Girl]

you could always make a copy for him to listen to then theres no chnace of him breaking your actual CD! lol

[Adunauriel]

Nah, my uncle is basically a lost cause when it comes to getting him to listen to Korn again...:mmmm:

[Ilmarë]

lol Have you thought of hypnotherapy??;) lol

[Adunauriel]

Well, I don't even think therapy would help.. Once he decides not to like something, there's no changing his mind...:mmmm:

[Ilmarë]

Ok.. time this was back at the top. The latest from Korn.com....... the new album is 10 tracks long.... new tuning being used by Munky and Head... and raw!!:thumbs:

[Ilmarë]

Did anyone see the MTV Icon programme on Metallica? I turned over just in the nick of time to see Korn playing "One" live. Man.. they were awesome... totally nailed it. Lars Ulrich was absolutely into it.

[Adunauriel]

I sadly don't get MTV, darn my horrible cable company...pfbbt

[Ilmarë]

I'm sure it will be shown on other cable stations, Adun... just keep those peepers peeledlol

[Adunauriel]

I doubt it, but I'll keep looking...;)

[Adunauriel]

Hey Ilmarë, have you heard their new song..? It's in the Movie Lara Croft- Cadle of Life, but not on the soundtrack.. Altho, it is supposed to be on their new Album..;)

[Ilmarë]

Hey Adun!!:wave:
Yeah.. i have it... "Did My Time",... its amazing and it is going to be on the forthcoming album. Think its due out in the next couple of months. They're going from strength to strength:rock:

[Keverzwijn]

I didn't really like the new song... :(

[Ilmarë]

You can get help for that, Kev!:p ;) lol
Seriously, i didn't like it too much when i heard it the first few times... but it has grown on me. I think it sounds a little over produced, but then that's not so surprising seeing as it was written for a movie soundtrack.

[Keverzwijn]

Bweh, They'll loose a fan if they continue like this. There are enough other bands in the world.

[Ilmarë]

You're way too cynical, Kev!!;) lol Give them a chance. We haven't heard the album yet... plus.. music has to evolve... it would get sooo boring if they churned out the same old stuff over and over again.
Besides.. Jonathan Davis can't do a da*n thing wrong... but them i'm really really biased...LOLlol lol
:rock:

[Witch King of Angmar]

AHHHHHHHHHH A KORN THREAD!!!!!!!!

KORN absolutely ROCK! They are the greatest metal band of the past two decades, I love 'em!

Fave album is IsSues, man that was cool, mainly cos it had Make me Bad on it, which totaly rules, that songs chorus has this sweeping quality that makes me just want to singalong. :rock:

Their new stuff is amazing too, btw you guys can download the new single here:
http://www.kornworld.de/index.php?show=shownews&id=502
Its off radio but its great quality. KoRn are back!

[Ilmarë]

:grin: Make Me Bad is one of my favourite Korn songs!!! Can't wait to hear the new album... and not too long to wait until its in the shops either!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ilmarë]

Ok.. just got "Take A Look In The Mirror" tonight and have only listened to it thru once... but on that first listen its obvious that the band have gone back to the same kind of sound as they produced on "Korn" and "Life Is Peachy". There are some immediately memorable songs, like "Counting On Me", "Everything I've Known" and "Alive"... and if you fast forward the last track to around 9.50 seconds.. you'll get the live Korn Version of Metallica's "One", which i happen to think is superior, as does my best mate, who's a rabid Metallica fan!

[Keverzwijn]

I've just seen ' right now', the new single, and I must say that I'm surprised. It's better than I thought it would be. Good for them!

[Ilmarë]

Yeah.. a definite move back to the feeling of the first album i think. It rocks.

[Keverzwijn]

Y'all want a single, say..
