Its funny I made it through the 90's with little to no interest in them but last night I was in the used cd shop and I was looking for some new tunes. I saw they had a copy of Korn's unplugged from last year on cd so I decided to give it a try. Well late last fall I recalled seeing this concert on TV and I thought it was half way decent. I didint realize till listening to this cd that this Fieldy fellow can actually play the bass and not just smack it. Its a fun album if you feel like getting a little experimental.

For some reason people continue to hate on them. I'm not a huge fan but I'm always interested in hearing what they're putting out.
They're originators of a style which has copycats even to this day. Unfortunately most of the bands who rip them off are laughable. Clean verse, crunchy chorus, mommy never hugged me lyrics, you know the rest.

See You On The Other Side was IMO definitly not the best times for them..regardless of that Korn has a HUGE fanbase and i think they have a song for everyone..i was never a HUGE fan of stuff..for example a heavy intro leading into softer melodic verses..i like the Korn songs that stay heavy throughout the whole entire song..but hey thats just me..

When I was a kid, I could tollerate/ignore the lyrics... not so much now. They just kind of leap out and thrust themselves in your face, if that makes sense.
Either way, I'm more into music without lyrics, or sparse lyrics, anyway.

i think the album is a joke.
If you like ashley simpson you will love this album |

Every good band i know does an unplugged gig, not for the money but for a challenge, re-arranging songs to suit accoustic styles is difficult, especially for a band like korn i would imagine. I don't quite think you thought out your post to well...

Gotta admit, he gets a lot of crap he dosn't deserve, wheather you like his tone or not, it actually suits the band very well. And if it didn't, he'd change it, or the band would change him.
I like it, sometimes, not a band I'd listen to constantly, but sometimes.
