On MTV's website

They've been playing the Freak on a Leash here.

Unplugged? Why in the name of Jeebus would they want to do that?

Doesn't suck, but not bad-ass either. I'd have to tag it as "interesting"

I tried getting into Korn a few years ago, but every song just sounded too much like every other song they did.

I throw Korn into the same category as Limp Bizkit. Is there some talent in there somewhere? Sure. But 90% of the shit they put out just plain sucks. & Korn is permanently on my shit list for covering "Another Brick in the Wall," badly.

In 1994 it was something that was new and fresh compared to the oversatured "grunge" scene that was being forced down everyone's throats by radio. I enjoyed their first album, but then I started getting into other music that required a bit more thought and skill to play (not just downtuning and playing a 7 string guitar with one finger while requiring heavy distortion), so I really lost interest. By the time their next album rolled around in 1997, they were pretty much all image and trying to break big on MTV, which made me think "sellouts" (very typical "metal" attitude of the time for myself) but hey, more power to them if they can do it since so few ever get to truly "make it." They got big and rode that image for all it was worth, MTV liked them and the mall crowd thought it was cool.

I can't honestly recall having heard more than one or two songs every now and again since and nothing has really changed. It didn't help that EVERY band under the sun ~1997 and later tried this sound out and drove it into the ground. Very little variety in that genre. It was good for an album or two, but the ideas get real old real fast.

Aye, Korn has made the same album over for years now. So has Staind.

Ditto for AC/DC and Rush.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any Lucasian anger toward the group; I just don't find their music to be very interesting.

I think the last song they put out that I remember was "Thoughtless." & that may have just been due to the excessive vomiting in the vid. I was laughing my ass off.

Thoughtless

I hadn't seen the video.
I was expecting a lot of various people puking. You know, a video that moved from character to character, each one causing the other to puke. Not that.
