A.D.I.D.A.S.

I have a few responses to the last page of comments...

I suppose it is difficult to defend Korn on a musical level, and don't kid yourself, Korn did NOT single-handedly bring back the 7-string guitar.

Usually, people, like myself, identify with Korn on a vocal and lyrical level. If you begin to listen to Korn listening only for solid riffs, you will, unfortunately, be very disappointed. Not too much stands out by Korn, with the exeception of the intro to Falling Away From Me. Yet, Korn has one of the largest fan bases in the WORLD. Why? Jonathan Davis, clear and simply, it is him that brings Korn together.

On the surface, Korn's lyrics seem to be badly written and in poor taste. However, you have to take a closer look to find the essence of Korn, for which the millions of fans they have, love about the band. Korn's lyrics are epic, about a constant struggle, triggered by Jonathan Davis' own past.

While it is true, many of us do not share in the same experiences, we can, in some way, relate to Korn. That's what makes their music beautiful, while others, who only briefly look at Korn, label them ignorant and talentless and toss them aside.

However...

The true ignorance is in the people who accuse others who do not share in their own musical beliefs as "retards." You are not better than me because you appreciate the "Arctic Monkeys" moreso than Korn.

It is ignorant to label listeners of a certain genre as stupid, or to say:

"Korn and Slipknot Rock Man!!!!!! I dress in black and I hate the world! Im a confused little 16 year old Grow up little boy"

Perhaps, it is you that needs to grown up "way_2_nang." However, I doubt you've even entertained that thought.

And finally...

It is ignorant to stereotype an entire country's music. I'm assuming you are not from this country, while it is true that many people from the states would not appreciate the U.K.'s music, the same can be said vice-versa. What I'm trying to say is that each country's perception of "good" music is different. The French would not approve of the U.K.'s, the U.K. would not approve of Ethiopian.

If you want my definition of good music, just ask...
