Ben Bradbury Korn For my report I chose one of my favorite bands Korn. I started to listen to Korn when I was a freshmen in high school when they dedut their first single “ Shoots and Ladders”. Their music has expanded my view on the music world, teaching me that everyone has their own style, and every musician needs a chance to be heard.1, 2, 3, and I come from the wicked style you know that I’m from the wicked crew, act like you knew....” Korn, the mere word means so much to so many people. They are one of the pioneers in today’s modern rock world. They’re also a band that many fans look to with their meaningful lyrics and awesome sound. Korn is by far the best modern rock band in music today due to their music, sound, lives, and performances. Out of the small town of Bakersfield, California, in the early nineties, came a sound. A faint whisper at first, it grew in force and intensity with time, unhindered by the yapping mouths of politicians and parents alike. It rang in their ears. It plagued their minds. It genuinely terrified them. The voice, talking in low-tuned rhythmic tones, spoke for a generation that would have no more of modern America and its leaders. A generation fed-up with lies, violence and greed from their own society. It grew and grew as more and more people realized the veracity of its claims, and adhered to its cause. The politicians grew fearful, and attempted to end its spread by censoring and denouncing. Little did they know that, six years later, that small whisper would grow into a deafening scream, a disturbingly present reminder of its own existence, and of its legions of followers... Led by Jonathan Davis under vocals and bag pipes, Munky under guitars, Head also behind a guitar, Fieldy behind the bass and David Silveria behind the drums.
