Hi, my name is Johnathan Davis, and I know absolutely nothing about dubstep

I saw this on Ultimate-guitar
The user community there is dumb as all hell

Lots of amps obviously equals dubstep

That glow stick pit sounds pretty gay

Johnny boy sure likes pleasuring him self.

Just keeps getting worse

Holy fuck this guy is a dumbfuck

Fuck


Lots of amps obviously equals dubstep [2]

LOL

I mean, I hear dub and garage influences in all of their music......

Dubstep blows, so I believe them.

lololololololololololol

All this is missing is a "are you ready?"

"Hi, my name is Johnathan Davis, and im a stupid cunt"

fix'd

jesus. i dont wanna live on this planet anymore

All this time I thought Dubstep was an electronic genre
Guess I was wrong

stupid band says stupid things
let the circlejerk commence!

NOPE



BASS

I mean, I hear dub and garage influences in all of their music......

HOW LOW CAN WE GO

I just read the article. Says one of the songs in the record took 3 and a half hours to write and record.

Just goes to show why their songs sound like shit.

"stupid band says stupid things
let the circlejerk commence!"

Yup

lightshows at a korn show hahahahahaha

is he talking about that 'stale ass metal' that they've been making for 15 years now?

implying that they even made metal in the first place

heavy guitar =/= metal
too much bass =/= dubstep

Timbaland Vs. Korn - who will win?

http://www.rwdmag.com/2010/06/just-in-timbaland-i-created-dubstep/

oh Korn, what have you done?

"While such distinguished dubstep labels as Tectonic and Hotflush have yet to release any statements regarding a potential record deal for the nu metal outfit, one can certainly speculate that armed with this new information one must certainly be on the cards."


hahahahaha

Least we have Burial

god damnit i wanted this to be good.

At this point, pretty much every joke or exaggeration on why Korn is gay has already been said by Johnathan Davis himself.

Unsurprisingly, popular artists know little about the genre in which they used to play. The fact that he thinks "metal and rock’n'roll" are stale is laughable. Gonna assume from my very little experience with dubstep that they/he also doesn't know what he's talking about.

I love 90s era J.D. , but now he is just obnoxious as hell

korn played shitty bass-heavy music before it was cool

nice! i've always wanted to get into dubstep this band seems like a good start

i'm excited so cartwheels and hugs for all

lol

This combines the worst things in my life 10 or so years ago: Korn and glowstick dancing. I avoided both.


...ok not completely. There was the drugs.

Fuck this band...seriously.

Is that chewbacca, AgentZero?

This isn't even funny it's so damn stupid. Nice one Korn, lookin' better by the article.

it’s pure and awesome and underground and heavy and different

Korn is too good for dubstep.

I predict a '4' -- '3.5' at the lowest.

Heard this earlier and wtf'd

I...

Just...

What? Seriously?

See: my avatar.

It leaked??? WTF!

and its AWESOME

Wikipedia: smarter than Korn

Brostep is a post-dubstep trend that has recently received increasing exposure, with the American producer Skrillex becoming something of a figurehead for the scene. In September 2011 a Spin Magazine EDM special referred to brostep as a "lurching and aggressive" variant of dubstep that prevails in the United States. Elsewhere it has been described variously as “dubstep with more anger to it" and "Americanized, garbage dubstep." Unlike traditional dubstep production styles, that emphasise sub-bass content, brostep accentuates the middle register and features "robotic fluctuations and metal-esque aggression." According to Simon Reynolds, as dubstep gained larger audiences and moved from smaller club based venues to outdoor and arena events, sub-sonic content was gradually replaced by distorted bass riffs that function roughly in the same register as the electric guitar in heavy metal. Dubstep "purists" have levelled criticisms at brostep because of its preoccupation with "hard" and aggressive sounding timbres. In the UK brostep has been jokingly called "bruvstep" and "mid-range cack." The English producer Rusko is credited with being the progenitor of brostep and during an interview on BBC's 1Xtra radio show he commented that: "Brostep is sort of my fault, but now I've started to hate it in a way...It's like someone screaming in your face for an hour...you don't want that."

This Brostep stuff sounds pretty good according to that post. That's what I need to check out.

Worse than Lulu

Afraid to listen......

Korn was all the rage back in middle school. Man how time flies.

This is nowhere near as bad as Lulu...

Oh yeah it is
At least Lulu was made for fun and not just for money

Lulu was decent, mostly because Lou Reed doesn't give a flying fuck

Lulu was slightly funny and slightly amusing
This piece of shit has nothing to offer

This is one of the worst thing i have ever heard

It's pretty incredible how mainstream artists are clueless when it comes to genres, similar artists, and quality.

$$$.

As if I didnt have enough reason to be embarrassed listening to Korn

hhahahahah whaaat.

Freaking Narcissistic Cannibals, album blows.

No, they're just clueless about everything.

surprised no one has pointed out that Path of Totality is also the name of the new Tombs album

who gives a fuck THIS IS KORN YO

I legitimately lol'd at that entire article. What a stupid cunt...

Korn sucks donkey balls and always has. We were just too young to know that.

Narcissistic Cannibals sounds like a decent name for a death metal band...

wow

They should have never given you niggas money!

I don't half step cuz I'm not a half stepper

They should have never given you niggas money!

*gave

The user community there is dumb as all hell

never go full retard

Ah my god

Jonathan Davis, Timbeland, what on earth

"old-school metalheads are not open to change" one nation under dubstep

I saw this on Ultimate-guitar
The user community there is dumb as all hell

I've been there before. You have my sincere sympathy, and my even more sincere confusion. Why would you put yourself through
that.

I joined there long ago, and I made a bunch of friends (mainly people on the hardcore board).

but yeah, most of the userbase is fucking retarded

Dubstep is a joke. I have never listened to this band but if they were metal and now playing Dubstep, they must of made the shittest metal music on earth!

And how is dubstep a joke?

...

Blah. This takes the cake for most outrageous statement of the year.

Yay more fun dubstep jokes!

One dubstep forward
Two dubsteps back

haha "mid-range cack"

I liked bruvstep better tbh. gonna adopt that I think. Also @dev, that 240p anti-war dub was killing me.

Needs this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pBCA9mUciU&hd=1

oh man... it's hilarious how the extremely different perceptions of dubstep lead to such heated controversy

Chubstep

I think the different perceptions of dubstep lead to some controversy over the popularization of brostep, but I don't really think any of the heated controversy here comes from different perceptions of dubstep. It just comes from Korn being fucking retarded.

But technically that is a different perception of the genre. Some think it is a relatively new genre, created by Excision, Datsik and simply consists of nothing more than half-assed bass wobbles. The rest of us actually know that the genre has a long and storied history and aware of its proper origins

Gotta get to a Korn show, PRONTO!

how can people say the word "brostep" over and over again like that without vomiting?

oh yeah my bad I meant bruvstep.

@Dev, what is the word "that" in your first sentence referring to? I agree with your backing statements but am a little unclear on the point you're making.

You said that you didn't think any of the heated controversy stemmed from different perceptions of the genre, and I disagreed. My bad, I worded it like a retard. I'm in the middle of writing my review for this and counting votes, so my mind's a little fried

One small dubstep for Korn, one giant leap for mankind.

soo if someone like evanescence crossed over would it be hoestep?

As long as Kingdom, Starkey & FaltyDL are around, I refuse to

I wrote a 3/5 review last night YEAH
also I was gonna give my dickhead oty award to daryl palumbo but I think jonathan davis has earnt it now

No worries dev. And yeah dubstep in the US is pretty shit, not only from artists that are from here but also the fans here are all about the womp womp mindless shit. It's a little embarrassing, but I'm happy to be a part of the actual dubstep fans, not the glowstick moshers.

I wrote a 3/5 review last night YEAH

Bet he's never even heard of Kode9 before

A stone will be thrown at the state, and a stone will be thrown at the churches.

he souds like a hipster. i HATE hipsters.

lmafo

This article makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me

Lol herp derp

AOTY, up there w/ Lulu

Some of my friends still actually like this band.

I like this band

not sure if hes purposely getting the dubstep hardcores to nerd-rage or not

I hope Korn gets raped always sunny style

And how is dubstep a joke?

I prefer to stick with Life Is Peachy

There are good and bad bands in every genre of music. Dubstep has good and bad artists. And if you don't like the genre.
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY FOR YOU!!

Now get on the internet and tell everyone who listens to anything remotely like dubstep that they are a worthless piece of
shit and will burn in the fires of hell along with the fucktard music they listen to. I MAD.

What a homo.

So wait, is Korn trying to rip-off, The Browning?

$$$

I was laughing pretty much the whole time I was reading this. Idiotic doesn't cut it. WE NEED A STRONGER WORD.

So according to the article, Korn are the creators of dubstep?

All hail the korn

"That glow stick pit sounds pretty gay"

lol

It really does. I've been to raves that have had glowsticks all over the fuckin place, and I've been to raves where dubstep artists (helicopter showdown) played in the middle of house tunes where glowsticks were still over. But I've never been to a straight up dubstep show where glowsticks existed. Like, AT ALL. I just don't think the same people who are into glowsticks and that whole scene are into dubstep at all compared to house.

KoRn is so incredibly unhip right now. No one listens to them any more. Maybe in a weird way there is some truth to the statements. That I don't know. But I don't think many people will be able to look at any KoRn albums objectively for about another ten years. I vaguely remember a time long ago when KoRn seemed fresh and was one of the biggest bands in the world. No one I know wears JNCOs anymore either and the local Gadzooks has closed. Please stop trying to be relevant at least just for a little while.

:O






lol

John, john, john, john, john...what on earth are you talking about? He's so out of touch it's not even funny

is this real? what the actual fuck....

"I've been a fan of electronic music since the beginning," Davis says. "When I first heard Skrillex's stuff, I was blown away."

....

.....

I don't

I don't even....

fuck it, I'm out

Oh god how can one interview have so many face-palm inducing parts?

Don't even try to comprehend it

just enjoy

This dude is a fucking dumbass

Y'ALL WANNA SINGLE SAY DUBSTEP

that song with Skrilliex (Get Up) was really bland and boring, which is the last thing I thought I would be saying about a song from this album. I was actually expecting to kind of like the album (2-3 range), cause I can get down with some brostep, but after hearing that I'd be surprised if I rate it higher than a 2.

he really makes it hard to sympathise with him

Jonathan Davis once again fucks up the internet..

ahahahaha, this was genius!

One day Johnathan will grow old and weary and die. Then it will almost be as if Korn never existed. Woah

No... Korn?
They just keep bouncing back, you can't make it die lol

Holy shit... this is the most offensive bloody thing ever. "We were dubstep before there was dubstep." Lmao, yeah, okay.

"We were dubstep before there was dubstep."

When Shadow edits his comment to not sound mean.

Why would he make it so painfully blatant that he DOESN'T know anything about Dubstep?

Well, I don't mind Brostep myself, so long as it's in accompaniment by Electro-House, or some other counter balance, so it doesn't become a drop/beatdown/wobble-fest (i.e: Excision, Datsik etc).

When Shadow edits his comment to not sound mean.

"http://www.rwdmag.com/2010/06/just-in-timbaland-i-created-dubstep/"

Ugh that's cringeworthy. But to be fair, Timbaland is actually consistently really good at what he does. Korn is...uh. Well they've made a good album and a bunch of albums that were...not good. I kind of want to listen to this new album but I kind of really don't.

"don't worry he gives good metal bad ratings so ya"

Whaaaaa

WUB WUB WUB

"the old-school metalheads are not open to change."
Only accurate statement he made

"It’s really cool to see glow sticks at the show"
That made me ROFL, fucking lame-ass.

Psh guys stop hating on the Korn. Korn is not only a pioneer of the dubstep genre, but they also invented classical music and Coca Cola. Duh.

Kneel to the Korn.

"He's got a point, they experimented in so many different ways through the years, they really did pave the way for a lot of other bands. But just like limp bizkit, it's the cool thing to hate on them. I'LL TAKE KORN OVER THRICE ANY DAY."


Dude, you should have kept your comment count under 55, because that one's atrocious.

As much as I hate them, Mushroomhead was experimenting with this stuff WAY before Korn was. Korn just took it too far.

Sometimes I just think "why bother? This band is just bad so I don't need to care" but then they prove that some of the people in those bands are simply incredibly dimwitted knuckleheads.

Wasn't Korn also the first band to combine hip hop and metal? Wasn't that a Jonathan Davis quote, too?

"ah frank, you again. well i also have to say you should have kept your comments at 0, because ALL 5000 of yours are atrocious and troll esque."

Still not heeding my sound advice.

"He's got a point, they experimented in so many different ways through the years, they really did pave the way for a lot of other bands. But just like limp bizkit, it's the cool thing to hate on them. I'LL TAKE KORN OVER THRICE ANY DAY."

LOLWUT

"He's got a point, they experimented in so many different ways through the years, they really did pave the way for a lot of other bands. But just like limp bizkit, it's the cool thing to hate on them. I'LL TAKE KORN OVER THRICE ANY DAY."

^ Not to criticize you or anything, but you have an abso-fucking-lutely terrible music taste then.

"Frank when will you understand I don't take advice from trolls ever. Stay under your bridge you cursed creature you."

So when everyone says you've said something stupid, you consider it trolling?


You're in for a rude awakening someday.

Yeah he is. When he realizes that Korn actually DOES suck and that Thrice is fifty times better.

Thrice isn't THAT much better.



Maybe 10x better than Korn.

lol honestly I've always disliked Korn...this just takes the cake though.

I actually like dubstep but so many groups and new artists are just piggybacking off of the hype

yea

Whaaaaa

"... stale-ass metal"... He called metal stale-ass. Son, hand me my gun.
"... old-school metalheads are not open to change."... Uh... Devin Townsend?
"It’s really cool to see glow sticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community." ... Seriously?! Fuck this.

Johnathan Davis. Can make metal anymore? Shifts to another genre and calls metal "stale-ass". Really mature.

"It’s really cool to see glow sticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community."

I know this was posted months ago, but oh my fucking God, what kind of pills is this guy even on? This is horrifically arrogant!

lol

Wtf one year bump.

"I know this was posted months ago"
Yes 12 months to be exact...

Please tell me that's a fucking joke Andcas.

Lol, he ain't no dj

Hey I saw him 'live' the show was cool

elitists gonna elite

i thought it was joke when i saw that a few months ago

Jonathan Davis hasn't been in his right mind since that song "Daddy."

Correct me if I'm wrong... But, isn't Head a born again Christian?

"I know this was posted months ago, but oh my fucking God, what kind of pills is this guy even on? This is horrifically arrogant!"

Exactly one year after the last comment on this was made, lol

"Exactly one year after the last comment on this was made, lol"

Indeed.
