this video is awsome and it is very powerful coming from a band with as much "weight" behind them as KoRn
i suggest even non korn fans watch the video atleast once to read what it has to say..
http://search.launch...arch/all?p=kornscroll down to videos and click on yall want a single..
for those on low bandwidth connections
the video is of them smashing a record store apart inside..
and it flashes messages up on the screen, which include
"music monopoly?"
"ONE corporation owns the 5 major video channels in the US"
"is that OK?"
"last year the BIG 5 record labels together sold about $25 billion dollars of music"
"90% of releases on major labels DO NOT make a profit"
"britney spears last video cost $1,000,000"
"this korn video costs $150,000"
"will any music channel play this video?"
"the music "industry" releases 100 songs per week"
"only 4 songs are added to the average radio playlist each week"
"hit songs on TOP 40 are repeated over 100 times a week"
"is that ALL you want to hear?"
"why is a song worth .99 cents?"
"do you download songs?"
"STEAL THIS VIDEO"
"this is a single"
"two radio comglomerates control 42% of listeners"
"the record company wanted us to change this video. we dident"
"90% of all singles get to "the hook" within 20 seconds"
"98% of all #1 singles are less then 3:30 seconds long"
"does this seem like a formula to you?"
"with all this said...."
"we love making music"
"is this the music "business"?"
it sends a very powerful and real message.. dont you think?
BTW.. this is NOT a thread for people to say "korn sucks" i dont want to hear it because i dont care about your opinion.. this is to comment on this video
