KoRn rule. Such a unique band. They really lost it after Head left, but they're a pretty weird little group, especially for one that got so goddamn popular.

Ugly-ass riffs, battling bizarre guitar sounds, bagpipes, blues scat (err... sorta), the most detuned slap bass I've ever heard in my life, dancy hip-hop drum beats, and a singer who's favorite bands are Duran Duran and Cannibal Corpse. I love 'em.

Even Nirvana's worst moments -- rape me, heart-haped box -- usually had SOMETHING interesting (like, I think HEART-SHAPED is boring as hell but for a big mainstream popular rock hit, it sure does sound damn ugly and "wrong" at times, doesn't it? That's kinda neat at least).

It's just insane to me that with the advances of musical technology and "wow, awezome FX dood!" and badass guitars and computers that write melodies for us, bands like BIG BLACK, MINUTEMEN, NAKED RAYGUN, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, etc still sound timeless and awesome. While newer bands are getting worse and worse. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden not only suck, they've inspired a whole mountain of suck.

As for KoRn, the guitar playing on Life is Peachy and s/t is inventive and a lot more interesting than most bands. The riffs in "Good God" are downright ugly and weird, and they're one of the most popular bands ever! Of all time! I guess when they say "Soundgarden-influenced", they mean "we only have one guitarist now so we can't have him trading those weird ass noises from speaker to speaker, so let's tune him to Drop-D, instead of Drop-C for this album and have him play some 'grungey riffz' instead of just the one-finger mud-sharp riffs he's been playing for the past 20 years."

Not that it really matters, but you clearly don't realize how old the 'Garden is.
