Korn: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

== Misc tropes ==

* [[The Backwards R]]: Their logo is "[[Ko Яn]]", though it's to look childish, not Russian.

* [[Band Toon]]: The [[Halloween Episode]] of [[South Park]] ''Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery'', a [[Scooby Doo]] [[Homage]], [[Small Annoying Creature]] and [[Scooby Doo Hoax|Hoax]] in all. They at one point pull a [[The Power of Rock|Power Of Rock]]-esque [[One-Winged Angel]] moment. The band also debuted its single "Falling Away From Me" after solving the hoax. The song's content and heaviness rather surprises the townspeople gathered, as it [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|heavily contrasts the band's sunny disposition throughout the episode]].

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Reportedly, producer Ross Robinson went to great lengths to get Korn to "remember who they were" when recording their 9th album. This included measures ranging from aggressively taunting/berating the new drummer to make him play more passionately to bringing Jonathan Davis's wife and son into the studio and making them sit across from him while he recorded vocals. Even Davis's therapist got on Ross's case about this, but ultimately all involved seem to have been pleased with the results.

* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: Korn's 2009 tour was called the "Escape From The Studio" tour as a break from recording Korn III. The tour name was ripped off from a previous [[Metallica (Music)|Metallica]] tour.

Line 88:

* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Usually around an 7-and-a-half or an 8, especially considering they are [[Nu Metal]].

* [[Nu Metal]]: [[Trope Maker|The first band]] of the genre. [[Defied Trope|They deny it]], saying "[[Shaped Like Itself|Korn is Korn.]]"

* [[One Hit Wonder]]: Technically, "Did My Time" was their only top 40 hit on the Hot 100, but they are one of the most well known rock bands of the past 15 years. Not to mention, "Did My Time" is certainly not their most famous song; that would probably be "Freak on a Leash."

* [[Path of Inspiration]]: The path taken by Brian "Head" Welch after leaving the band.

* [[The Rockumentary]]
