It fucking was not!
It would have been as Minerva was a brilliant song, but they tried to be really electronica in places and for me it didn't work. Adrenaline was my second favourite, then around the fur.

I lost interest in them circa White Pony
Marked a point at which they seemed to start thinking they were Tool. Talk about ideas above their station. They were better when they were ripping off Korn

There are so many things wrong with this statement that I am going to choose to simply ignore it
as to tackle it head on will make my cock fall off.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:22, Reply)

you and I are in agreement.
Adrenaline and Around the Fur were easily the better albums.

They were never as good as Korn either.

Agreed on all counts
It really pissed me off that a lot of their songs, notably My Own Summer, went on for at least thirty seconds longer than necessary. And that Back To School nonsense was absolutely inexcusable. You could almost hear the cash registers ringing in the background.

back to school was a grotesque pile of tripe
the thing with them is that they forgot that Chino can't sing, and that none of them (apart from Chi) are any good on their instruments.

I found it highly amusing when they added a DJ to their ranks back when the likes of Limp Bizkit were employing scratching and samples
and then gave him precisely FUCK ALL to do

Limp Bizkit are fucking excellent live
It seems someone else shares your viewpoint

Saw them this year, they really really were.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:37, Reply)

I saw them last year or the year before
and they were absolutely fucking terrible.

Even worse than I expected, which is saying something.

This year they were fantastic
Came on stage with huge smiles, played a couple of cracking tunes, before admitting they had no set list, so what did we want to hear? Turned into pretty much a greatest hits set, superb.

his voice is fucking terrible though
it's like it unbroke sometime between Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish

I'm not sure anyone cared tbh
It was some of the most fun I've ever had seeing a band live, the mood was infectious, everyone was smiling.

Korn have some brilliant stuff, but a fair few tracks are sub-par.
Shoots and Ladders being the one that comes to mind for the latter.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:33, Reply)

You'll have to take my word for this
but Shoots and Ladders was fucking brilliant when I first heard it at the age of 16. I will happily admit that it has not aged well. Some of the later stuff like Thoughtless and Freak on a Leash (obviously) still sounds awesome though
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:35, Reply)

some of the early stuff is still good too
Blind for example is a great song.

Korn's live version of Another Brick in the Wall by Floyd is marvellous
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:36, Reply)

Really?
I wasn't impressed by the album version, mite too ambitious I thought. But I haven't seen it live. The cover of Word Up, on the other hand, is great fun.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:38, Reply)

the live one is better definitely
Word up is indeed great fun
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:39, Reply)

The only Floyd track I like.
Blind still sounds good.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:39, Reply)

Thoughtless is one of, if not my favourite track by them
Freak On A Leash, as long as there is a decent amount of time between hearing it twice, is fine by me. But it's been so overplayed, it's ruined it.

That's why I tend to prefer Falling Away From Me, Make Me Bad, and other tracks, that while they're well known, they're not often played.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:37, Reply)

I agree with you about Freak on a Leash
same with Got the Life as well.

Falling away from me and make me bad are probably my favourite of their songs.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:40, Reply)

Got The Life is one track that demands to be played loud, I find.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 10:41, Reply)

As a metal DJ I must concur with your opinion of Freak on a Leash
See also; Killing in the Name. I never want to hear that song again. Ever.

Neither do I.
Because it's shit. Give them 'Testify', then tell them to fuck off.
