i suggest even non korn fans watch the video atleast once to read what it has to say..
http://search.launch...arch/all?p=korn
scroll 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

| LOL... Yeah that vid will make some more Korn fans no doubt. Also prove they are not one of the money hungry bands. They play music casue they like to, not just cause of the money. Unless that is just a ploy to make them more money.... |
Of course they play music to make money. Why do you think that you can walk into any record store and find CD's, T-shirts, posters, stickers, patches, etc of this band. Just another one of those pissed off at the world, hot topic, rap metal crap bands. Cool video though.

another example of some kid that is on a bands balls that got nowhere in life and is out to talk trash on any band that found success
of course they need to make their money.. this is their lively hood.. they make pizza money off album sales.. real money comes from hitting the road and touring.

No, I am not some kid and I like a lot of bands that play original stuff. There are so many unoriginal bands out there like Korn that pretend that they hate the system but they are all in it for the money. I did say it was a cool video

Ummm...try Rage Against the Machine. There are so many ripoffs of this band that it's pathetic. Seriously though, everybody is entitled to their opinion. I obviously don't like Korn. You do. End of story. Do you like every band you listen to? Should I put you down because you don't like something I like? I said I didn't like the band and made a comment about how they are not just in it because they like to play music. They are obviously doing something right because they are pretty popular. I gave them props for the video though, so just chill.

and its obvious they dont give a shit about radio or tv plays and just want to make music and tour, fuck look at the video they put out, you think mtv will play that? i dont

i'd like to hear zach singing "daddy" eh no actually, thats a VERY disturbing thought!
and KoRn aint exactly politically vocal
dont get me wrong, it'd be difficult for me to choose between KoRn & RATM- they are both leaders
its a matter of historical record, KoRn and deftones started at about the same kinda time giong in the same kinda direction, but from different backgrounds, and there was nothing like them at the time

mr davis has a decidedly unique vocal style
messers shaffer and welch make a pretty unstoppable duo
mr silveria is remarkable,
and mr arvizu invented his own way of playing
compare to RATM:
one of the most talented rappers on the planet
one of the most talented & technical guitarists on the planet
a damn fine drummer and bassist to boot
i think the only continuity here is the fact they play instruments and play them very hard & heavy
Post by: SniperKilla on March 02, 2004, 10:55:00 AM
and yes david is an amazing drummer
my cousin is 100% obsessed with him (he plays drums too btw)i prefer james or brian since im a guitar player my self
but david, reggie and jon are all great at what they do

If you like them, you should hear the groop nonPoint, their first album, Statement. The second one was alot more mellow, but still good.
My friend (another big Korn fan) likes the band... Mushroom head (?) not sure that is the name, just remember the word mushroom.
I am a bit of a rocker, but I listen to anything (except Polka, not big on it). In the same vein I HATE ClearChannel WorldWide, they can suck my ... can't think of anything vile enough, so I just end up listening to NPR.
