RE: Pick the Song that makes you feel #Aliveandthriving, May 30, 2025

in We Are Alive Tribe2 months ago

Another song from the late 90's for this week, although a bit more metal, nu metal to be precise: Freak on a Leash by Korn. This wasn't their first hits, not even their first album, but in my opinion, it's one of the few songs that really launched nu metal into mainstream. Whether you like it or not, that subgenre was an important part of the late 90s/early 00s rock and metal. In that song, some lyrics rapped, some screamed, even some real singing, whatever that weird beatboxing is, and of course the infamous 'GO!!'... Bonus: the music video was pretty cool, at least for that time when many of the rock and metal bands simply showed fake live performances in their videos. Talking about live performance, that's one of the bands I saw many times, including for their 30th anniversary tour last year, they were just as good as ever!

Good luck everyone!

Freak on a Leash is such a classic.
Totally agree, it played a huge role in bringing nu metal to the mainstream.
That’s awesome you’ve seen them live so many times, especially on their 30th anniversary tour.
They really know how to bring the energy even after all these years.
Good luck in the draw.
