KoRn is my favorit band, thanks this article..

wat

OT: 10 pages of this thread in 8 years of its existence. That's like, a little more than a page per year. Most impressive.

I don't know what to make of Korn anymore. I guess I can still call them my favorite band, but compared to how much I used to listen to them, and how little I do now... The fact that they keep releasing shit or mediocre stuff really isn't helping. Korn III was a fucking abomination. The Path of Totality was meh. The Paradigm Shift is just a tad better, but it still didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The last Korn album that I genuinely enjoy is SYOTOS which was released almost decade ago. I like Untitled too, but not all of the songs. I guess I'll just have to make peace with the fact that I'll never going to enjoy their new stuff. I was really excited for Korn III before it actually came out. They said it's gonna be "return to the roots" and it got Ross Robinson on it as well. So how did it end up being such a steamy pile of shit? That's nothing like Untouchables, don't even fucking dare to compare the two. As far as TPS is concerned, I was excited about that as well, I really thought Head was gonna make things better since I really enjoyed his solo stuff. But alas, apparently he didn't. I guess it depends on your perspective, but aside from Love & Meth and maybe one or two other songs, nothing stands out. It's not that it's bad (aside from Never Never, seriously, fuck that song), it's just that it might as well serve me as a background music since I'm not feeling it at all. /rant

KoRn and The Smashing Pumpkins basically kept me alive during my teenage years, I didn't relate to the people around me and felt alone, their music helped me to realize there were people out there feeling like I was and that I wasn't completely alone.

KoRn's debut album was a big deal to me, I didn't know what to expect and was amazed that a mainstream band was talking about the kinds of topics they were. Life is Peachy and Follow The Leader were alright but didn't have nearly the same impact. When Issues came out, though, it was everything I had wished for in an album. Outside of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness or maybe Opeth's "My Arms, Your Hearse", I don't think there is an album I've listened to more than Issues. It got me through my later years of high school, legit.

After Issues, KoRn kind of fell out of my regular playlist. Sure, I gave Untouchables a proper listen, but I just didn't feel that connection anymore. It wasn't until "KoRn III" that I decided to grab another of their albums and I'm glad I did, I really appreciated the throw back sound. Their newer stuff, while being innovative, hasn't been hugely interesting to me. I guess when it comes to KoRn I'm a bit of a fair weather fan, give me their debut or Issues any day, but the rest is hit and miss.

KORN is very important and interesting band for me. Guitarist Brian Head Welch from this band is a great man and musician!

KORN has announced a summer tour with fellow rock culture icons EVANESCENCE, produced by Live Nation. Accompanied by special guests varying across select dates, the 18-city tour kicks off on August 16 at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, making stops across the U.S. in Boston, Chicago, Houston and more before wrapping up in Ridgefield, Washington on September 16.

"We're looking forward to going on tour this summer and bringing our friends EVANESCENCE, out," said Jonathan Davis of KORN. "Whenever Amy [Lee, EVANESCENCE singer] comes to one of our shows, I always love seeing her on the side of the stage watching the whole set and rocking out. We're gonna have a great time on this tour, and we can't wait to see you there."

Lee added: "I fell hard into KORN's music in high school. It was an inspiration during the formation of my own band. The chances we've had to play together over the years are special, a part of our history. They remain one of the best live bands I've ever seen. It's an honor and a thrill to go out with our friends again, our first full tour together since '07. We're all really looking forward to this."
