Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 2 - August 2019 /// Khemmis - Hunted

[Teeeee]

This pick is going to be out of my wheelhouse, for sure! But I'm totally down for a metal/metal adjacent pick. Push me out of my comfort level!

As for ska - I've had a ton of fun at ska shows. I do enjoy ska. Some of the Pietasters went to my high school so I have a soft spot for them. All that being said, I had a very unfortunate white-guy-inappropriately-touching/grabbing-me at a ska show incident. And my gf punched him. WE were kicked out (why not him?). And I lost a beanie because of it. I think that pretty much sums up ska. Lol

But, but I see a shade of red above the reflected Korn text, and the dress is blue and white!!!!

Let me live

Hahaha who knows. I am just bored. This reminds me of this great debacle

i always saw the dress as blue and gold

because there was clearly blue in areas where the light is supposed to make it white, but the black never looked that black and more gold

Goatfish gave me an inch!!!

The three colors of the AMERICAN flag as well as three colors that appear on the album art of this album in some amount and some shade..

So I took it and ran!!!

He also gave that hint

Touche! I have no knowledge on the genre. They could have been the best or the worst out of 100 for all I know, but thank you for clearing it up!!!

I didn’t clear up anything! Just muddying the waters and poking fun! It could be Korn, I have no clue, just make sure you do the research to see if they fit ALL the clues!

i was a rational skeptic™ back then so i would be #bothsides

To be fair, Korn’s S/T got some critical acclaim both at the time and in retrospect but it’s a very divisive record due to the contributions to nu-metal.

I loved the album when I was in my teens but can’t really listen to it anymore. It did NOT age well imo.

It’s not korn.

My most vivid Korn memory is the "Korn spot" on MTV's TRL. It was in 3rd place for so long that they just started calling that the Korn spot. It just couldn't overcome the Brittany and NSync behemoths

 

[duke86fan]

unrelated but oh my god the dress meme was 4 years ago i feel old and im only 20... that was the big meme when i first JOINED the old forum

Yeah I loved this in my teens too and agree it’s aged terribly!

 

[supahypeag]

At least Korn's aged better than Limp Bizkit. And Korn WAS on South Park!

Got the Life! Yes I remember this. I think it actually got to 2!

Edit: it did! And also was one of if not THE first video to be retired from TRL. 73 weeks it was on there.

south park also hasn't aged that well

though it is funny for korn to be basically scooby doo

I mean did anyone actually like Limp Bizkit at the time?

i have a friend who defends them like crazy

Like anything, it's got it's cheesy entries. But I still have a soft spot for Korn, Kittie, Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Disturbed (as they have all been labeled as nu metal by some)
