![]() Cube starts the track off referencing the band’s infamy at the time with schools and parents, as the band delivers a guitar-laden trounce forward. Korn’s mainstream breakout Follow the Leader had Korn leaning further into the hip-hop end of their formula, the best example being “Children of the Korn” featuring Ice Cube. At the end of the video, they’re confronted by Korn’s actual members playing the role of “Fony Music” executives. All four rappers do a pretty funny job here, both pantomiming the song’s performance at a show, doing an autograph signing, doing terrible modeling deals and more. It rises to a killer breakdown, Davis making himself felt with a screamed bridge before Nasty Nas returns.Īgain during the See You on the Other Side time period, Korn decided to drop what’s easily their funniest video ever, “Twisted Transistor.” The band’s roles are replaced here: Lil Jon as Jonathan Davis, Xzibit as Fieldy, David Banner as David Silveria, and Snoop Dogg as James Shaffer. Davis steps away from vocal duties on the track for the most part, allowing Nas to just go at it, laying down bar after bar over the band’s instrumentation. The one exception is “Play Me” featuring hip-hop legend Nas. Their first without Brian Head Welch, Korn fumbles around and doesn’t find their footing in too many places. To this day, we’re still not totally sure how the remix came about, but we’re so stoked it exists.īy no stretch of the imagination is Take a Look in the Mirror Korn’s best work. The band upgrades the already bassy production to one of their signature low-end guitar riffs, and Rihanna sounds perfect over the bounce. ![]() Already packed with attitude in its original incarnation, Korn’s adds a serious level of oomf to the song’s instrumentals.

Like an episode of chav soap-opera, 'Trisha', they lambast me in front of an audience on how stupid I am and how I always give him "my" money I’ve earned (As in bought their album).īut I retaliate, that they don’t know him (Korn) like I do. Sure, my friends and loved ones hate him (Korn). They said they would change and he didn’t mean to hurt me (last album 'Take a Look in the Mirror'). No matter how many times I’ve walked out on the bastard (As in swore I would never listen to that shit again) I have always managed take them back thinking everything is going to be fine now. ![]() I’m the music fan equivalent of a battered wife.Īnd how I have I come to this conclusion I hear you cry?
