California Metal on Stage
Korn is a Grammy Award winning, influential nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, and are often credited with creating and popularizing the nu metal genre. Former band-member Head stated that their signature sound came from an attempt to emulate Mr. Bungle's guitar tone, which they referred to as "the Bungle chord".
Along with other bands of the time, they have also inspired many nu metal, alternative metal and rap metal bands through the mid-1990s and early 2000s. Since their 1994 self-titled debut album, Korn has sold over 32 million records worldwide, including 19 million in the United States, making them one of the best-selling nu-metal acts of the last fifteen years.
The band's catalogue consists of five consecutive Multi-Platinum Studio albums (including the compilation album Greatest Hits: Volume 1, a live album, and an MTV Unplugged album) in the top 10 of Billboard Top 200 best selling albums. To date Korn has scored 6 Grammy nominations, and won 2 such awards. Five of their albums have been certified as multi-platinum. Jonathan Davis has entered Hit Parader's "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists" list peaking at #16, James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch are #26 at the list of Guitar World's "100 Greatest Metal Guitarists".

Korn - Freak on a Leash
Something lost and never seen.
Everytime I start to believe,
Somethings raped and taken from me... from me.
Lifes got to always be messing with me. (you wanna see the light)
Cant they chill and let me be free? (so do I)
Cant I take away all this pain. (you wanna see the light)
I try to every night, all in vain... in vain.
Sometimes I cannot take this place.
Sometimes its my life I cant taste.
Sometimes I cannot feel my face.
Youll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me.
You and I were meant to be.
Freak On A Leash Lyrics

I love them both, but I if I absolutely had to choose than...korn. They seem more real to me since they don't wear masks. I would also like slipknot more if they screamed a bit less. I like my screaming in small quality doses.

- Nice lens... I used to like them, but to me, bands who play too many covers it's because something's lost... (see Marilyn Manson as well ;) )
But their old songs are still great!!
