Why?

Alright - let\'s see.

The lyrics are overly simple. They could be mistaken for any other nu-metal band that caters towards the teen audience. There is no distinct style with Jon\'s lyrics other than the "I\'m so miserable" story and to further the point, let me dig a quote up..

Quote
I think everybody\'s parents will hate it, so we did a good job," he adds with certainty


Article: Billboard.com

Now what does that say? That says that KoRn does not want to be taken as a serious metal band. They are happy and content catering towards the teen demographic. The one\'s who "parents will hate it".

Edgar Allen Poe wrote "I\'m so miserable" type poems, too. Did he cator to teens?

Edgar Allen Poe had talent.
Don\'t make me go and quote him.

Vivi, bud, you are not helping Spudz\'s argument at all. Infact, you made it worse with your ignorance and comparing Poe to Jon Davis.  .

At the time his poetry was actually somewhat original, where as the teen-angst seen has been beaten to death more than a chinese prison camp.

He didn\'t suck. There being the difference between himself and Korn. Korn is so flavor of the year...1992. Its been done. Must we be forced to keep our feelings of disgust towards this shitty band all to our selves? No...that\'s what internet forums are for! See signature.

Yes, I know you\'ll shit your panties and ask me if I really have to ruin it for Korn fans...and yes, yes I do. :) LIC on the other hand is just being ****ing rude. Wth man.

I used to like Korn btw. I stopped because they suck. Simple as that.
Who is this anamoly we call Jumpman? How is he able to do what he does and still survive after years of torment? It seems he feeds on the hate, growing with an intense passion to put unassuming members in their place.

Yes, ViVi\'s statements clash with mine.

I dont think he was supporting me, at least I hope not. ;)

People like The Doors, more than the Spice Girls. People like the Spice Girls more than the Doors. And what is to stop them? Nothing. L-I-C likes Tori Amos more than Korn. I like Korn more than Tori Amos.

Arguing over a videogame message board will not prove our point.

I am stating the fact that KoRn is a talented band. Much better than most of the nu-metal shit flowing through the MTV drainage pipe. LIC you can give it to them that Jons voice is good, and the musicians are talented. I give them that. But it helps I like it, and I can relate to it.

Yes, Teen angst. Beautiful Hate Flower.

I\'m still lost on how "talented" and KoRn can be in the same sentence..

No, they\'re not. Every song sounds the same. There is no real content in the music. The lyrics could of been written by a 13 year old.
There is no talent in the band.

Must I define talent?

Quote

talĀ·ent
n.
A marked innate ability, as for artistic accomplishment.


They can play the instruments, and they can play them well. They can write music, and they can write it well. They have sold millions of CD\'s, and they can do it well. They can please loyal fans, and they do.

LIC I think your just always in a pissy mood. I ****ING hate people who are always just so god damn negative.

Dont start ratting their ass. They are loyal to their fans, and write music the fans like.

I\'d love to see LIC trying to sing.

Let\'s see here, plenty of people can play instruments, doesn\'t make them talented. I can play the piano, doens\'t make me talented.

Jon Davis cannot sing. He can mumble, whine and scream. That is not singing. There is no vocal talent in that. Want singing? Check out Opeth, Tori Amos, Martin Gore,  David Usher and a bunch of others. Hell, if you are speaking vocal talent, check out Michael Bolton.

You know why they can please "loyal fans" and "sell millions of records" because there are a lot of idiots. There a lot of young angry teens who feel oh-so-mistreated. They cater to idiots and idiots like them.

However, nowhere in all that is talent.

Korn is for teens like Tori Amos and Micheal Bolton are for 40 year old ladies.

See LIC I can make generalisations to.I still listen to the self titled cd,I still like it and I\'m not a teen at all.I\'m not saying that the singing is great or the words are brilliant,however you can not release a cd like the self titled one without talent.

LIC is just trying to get attention.

He likes the blame it on "teen-angst" and "stupid" buyers.

(He wants us all to conform to the unconformed)

LIC- Dont say he cant sing. He sings right there, and your just ****ing bold and ignorant for saying he cant sing. He has a decent voice.

So you can play the piano? Cool- you have something to do besides masturbation, and videogames. :rolleyes: Get a life, and stop being so critical.
