Freak On A Leash ft. Amy Lee (links in post #1)

[RuxyReZiDeNtTM]

The soung is quite unique. I didn't know what to expect with Korn acoustically, but they did a fine job, if this is anything by which to gauge the rest.

But why in the hell are the band members wearing like, pig masks and various other retarded mask bull****? They look beyond retarded.

They aren't band members ... are just musicians ... The peoples without mask (except Amy) are korn's members :)

[c_isforcookie]

Wow, the song is so awesome!! this day is getting better, first I turn 17 and now this!

[m_lestrange]

Thank you For posting the audio download :D this song is so amazing, i can't stop listening to it:p Amy's voice is so mesmorizing!

[DarkStar]

wow really love the song. its better than i imagined it could possibly be. amy's really branching out vocally and trying new stuff. she sounded amazing. johnathan did too, i just didn't like the way he sang a few words in the first verse, annoyed me a bit. but thats the only neg point i have to say and thats tiny!

[SpiritHawk7]

I am sooo watching TRL today. Double dose of Amyness. The premire of FOAL and Lithium. w00t w00t!

So true! ^ "Double dose of Amyness" ! Gotta love that catch phrase!

[MrMellow]

Does anybody know if any of the other musicians were vaguely famous? I'm just asking coz Nirvana got Melora Creager from Rasputina to do the cello on their unplugged album if I remember correctly....

[Lauren1]

I just downloaded it! I'm watching TRL today, I don't usually watch it but I'll make an exception.

[numb_to_the_core]

The song was absolutely amazing. Amy's voice fit perfectly (in my opinion). Other than that, the music was amazing how they made the freaky music with the strings and stuff....but anyways, it was great! Thanks for getting the links.

[vendetta]

Very good song indeed! Congratulations Korn, Amy and musicians with masks!
Does anybody knows where i can find a high quality video?

[caligirl]

so i turned trl on 20 minutes late, have they shown it yet?

[CrackedOutLithium]

i dont watch trl either i totally forgot i just turned it on now!

[Biff]

They aren't band members :P They are just a hired musicians :P
They aren't band members ... are just musicians ... The peoples without mask (except Amy) are korn's members
Holy **** I wish I were as perceptive as you two. Obviously they're hired musicians. That still doesn't answer my question as to why they're wearing uglyass retarded masks.

[DhammaSeeker]

Because ... they were paid to?

One smart-ass comment deserves another!

[Biff]

Because ... they were paid to?
IAW Smartass

[little red riding hood__?]

I found a video of a different version (no masks etc) on YouTube... people where being so harsh about Amy :eek: They were all going on about how she only ever rips off other peoples songs and can't sing.

PISS OFF

I left an abusive comment but I am still VERY ticked off. GOD.

):

[CrackedOutLithium]

the premiere is up next!

[*fallen angel :)]

Watched and heard it hundreds of times today. It's awesome! Just one question: what's the name of the song? I forgot!:p

[%%Laura%%]

Watched and heard it hundreds of times today. It's awesome! Just one question: what's the name of the song? I forgot!:p

It's in the title of the thread, 'Freak on a Leash'.

[*fallen angel :)]

It's in the title of the thread, 'Freak on a Leash'.
LOOOOOOOL! :DI don't know what I was thinking! Just got that now and came here to edit my post before someone saw that stupid question!!!:D

[caligirl]

that was nice,especially the end.

[Hollee]

That is definitely much better on TV. Amy was just...gah amazing as always. I loved what Jonathan said about Amy too. How she fit in with it and did such a great job. So what do we think...should we try to get this on the countdown too?

[Cfw828]

How she fit in with it and did such a great job. So what do we think...should we try to get this on the countdown too?

Already on it ;)

[RuxyReZiDeNtTM]

Holy **** I wish I were as perceptive as you two. Obviously they're hired musicians. That still doesn't answer my question as to why they're wearing uglyass retarded masks.

I think i know... don't blame me if i'm wrong .... because the title of the cd/dvd is "Korn - Mtv Unplugged" ... and the video's name "korn feat.amy lee - freak on a leash" ... NOT hired musician feat. Amy Lee =)) ... they are different than the "stars" of this thing :) .. now... they wear those ... masks ...'cause we are not able to see their faces:) just korn's members faces and amy's face :)

[Exurbia]

That is definitely much better on TV. Amy was just...gah amazing as always. I loved what Jonathan said about Amy too. How she fit in with it and did such a great job. So what do we think...should we try to get this on the countdown too?

Way ahead of ya! lol:D

[Hollee]

Already on it ;)

you're in my head!

[Just Me!]

wow! i love it.. i love the song i love amy's voice.. she can melt the world with her voice if she wants to!... i'm completely melt with her voice!

[ErgoProxy]

Like I just said in the TRL Crashers thread, it should not hurt to put in a few votes for FOAL. Just make sure to put more votes in for Lithium [:P], we should got in for the kill with it now that it's back to #4 again.

[buckeyejosh8706]

Hmm.
I definitely like Amy singing it, better than Korn.
I don't really like his voice all that much,
it's a little too...I dont know.

But, I love the part where Amy is singing all the "oooohs" or whatever.
She's amazing.

[forevergonexforeveryou]

But, I love the part where Amy is singing all the "oooohs" or whatever.
She's amazing.

i loved that part too! i thought it was so cool.
generally, i thought the song was well done. i didn't expect it be like that but i think it worked out well..their voices are totally different but i think it was a success:)

i wish they wouldve done thoughtless acoustic that wouldve ruled!

korn has a thoughtless acoustic version if you wanna check that out i think its pretty cool

[milas_lacrymosa]

wow, I am sooo in love with it... I'm playing it on repeat from 11 am, and now is almost midnight... *is crazy*
they're GODS!!!!

[jenniferlee]

This song is amezing \o/

[GirlAnachronism]

My dad watched it and he hated it well he liked Amy of couse but he HATED Jonathan and stuff he came in my room and was like "KoRn sucks!!! If Amy wouldn't have been on with them I would have blown up the tv!!! That performance would have sucked wihtout her!" that's dads for you.

[Ginger Fish]

I really don't like korn at all, but man, Amy/Ev can do some amazing things with other people's music! First their cover of Thoughtless, and now this. Such awesomeness!

[LisaNicole]

I thought it was AWESOME. It was amazing how well Jonathan's and Amy's voices matched. Great duet.

[through my EyEs]

that rocks amy was so haunting she stole the show gave me goosebumps

[Deteriorate]

It would be cool if Korn made a duet with Amy again on their next album, maybe a power ballad that would be cool. The sons is mesmerizing great job for both.

[Darkangelofrock]

I think this song sounds really good, but there's something weird about korn's singer voice. But anyway I like it very much ! Amy's voice is amazing...

[Zombie]

Just got the link from myspace and wow! i loved it. I love how they slowed the song down from the original and incorperated all those instruments.
My fave part had to be the breakdown . It was just awesome how Amy blended her voice into the whole song. instant Unplugged classic.

[secretstars]

Not really a korn fan but music is always better with some ev for sure :)

[IMustBDreaming]

That was amazing. I love Korn. I love Ev. And the two of them together for an acoustic song is just orgasmic. That was totally awesome. I can't wait till the cd/dvd come out.

[keziya]

I cannot stop listening to/watching this. simply brilliant. I think the CD/DVD is worth buying even just for that song. It's just that good!

[PacificSiren]

Korn songs are creepy --- I love 'em ...

[CrackedOutLithium]

I cannot stop listening to/watching this. simply brilliant. I think the CD/DVD is worth buying even just for that song. It's just that good!

i was gonna buy it anyway cuz ive loved korn for years but this just makes me want it more :)

[Katya]

W00t! Just caught it on MTV now. It was REALLY nice to see it on a nice TV screen, as opposed to like...a two-inch computer window. LOL.

[LadyApathy]

WOW!

i love korn and ev and that was just amazing...wow...


:cool:

[Dear Destruction]

Wow this video is amazing. It reminds me of Jefferson Airplane. Amy is amazing in this video so is Korn I love it alot it's amazing.

[Hollee]

I made my mom watch the MTV premiere a while ago and she was like 'I don't really like korn but of course anything that Amy does she's awesome in.'

a new Ev fan's born :)

[Natalie]

i can't stop listening to this song!!

it's so awesome!!

ever song should feature Amy from now on :p

[Syd]

Pretty freakin' badass. I've always loved Korn, though. I really loved the finished product. I'm hoping Comcast will put the video on the On Demand channel. They have other Korn videos up. I've never seen anything Ev-related on On Demand (Windup should maybe look into that for their artists), so maybe that'll work out.

I loved the set, too.

[dreamchaser_83]

W00t! Just caught it on MTV now. It was REALLY nice to see it on a nice TV screen, as opposed to like...a two-inch computer window. LOL.

you have a 2 inch monitor?? ok its official, i am starting a jar called the "help get katya a 17 inch monitor fund" (i cant spell...dont know if monitor is spelt correct...maybe its moniter?? oh jees...) :D tee hee any donations....send me and i will hook her up! lmao!

this song is absolutely AMAZING! i am happy its finally released. when i heard "KORN" with "AMY LEE" i knew it would be breath taking. korn is an amazing band....and amy....well we all know what shes like! :p

can't....stop....listening.....*goes and listens again*

[The Elmeister]

Umm go get a ruler and have a look at exactly how big 2 inches in, I think Katy might have been exaggerating just a little bit :P.

Very cool. I'd never heard the original before so I can't compare it but I really liked it Amy sounded amzing as she usually does acoustic.

[Cirafly24]

hehe i think she meant a 2-inch window, not screen. when you try to watch it full-screen the quality is crap. so i'd imagine it would look a hell of a lot better on TV :)

[Hollee]

Yeah what Cirafly was saying. She meant she was watching it on YouTube which is a small 2-3 inch screen.

[Evil Vampiress]

Hmmmm i wonder if they put it in their myspace page?

[Our Demise]

Hmmmm i wonder if they put it in their myspace page?They haven't. I checked about an hour ago because I wanted to put it on my profile but it's not there. lol

[Aloi]

DUDE
mtv just played Lithium and then Freak On A Leash back-to-back.
-excited much-

[jess86]

Loved it. I've listened to it heaps since I downloaded it this morning and I still love it. I'm somewhat a Korn fan but not so much so that anything could ruin a song for me, not that I think Amy could ever ruin a song, but I had an open mind and I wasn't worried at all about the outcome of the performance. I'm really, really impressed with everything. The arrangement was fantastic, Amy's performance was beautiful, emotional and powerful, Jonathan was great, and their voices worked really well together.

I’ll probably try and get a hold of the CD/DVD when it comes out just for this.

[Katya]

Uh, I said computer WINDOW. As in, a player window or an internet window (like the others have said). I have a 17" flatscreen monitor :p

Dude. Trying to view ANYTHING on a monitor that size would only work for like...elves. Or something. :p At least for my ****ty eyes anyway.

[Princess_Diane]

This is the first time I have seen this the whole way through it was amazing I would give anything to sing with Jonathan Davis wow! I have to admit I was a bit worried when I first heard Amy was singing with Jonathan and I didnt think she would do all that well with it being a Korn song and all but I am wrong.

[KTDidit]

Ok, I'm pretty sure no one has asked this yet, so please don't kill me if it has. Towards the end, Amy has this solo, and I want to know, what the technical term for it is? I've seen other artists do things like that before, so yea...what is it called?

[hiding in a hollow tree]

the first lyrics Amy sings on this track are very compelling and for me confirm she has the best female singing voice out there as well as being fantastic live!

She gives this song i different dimension and although i am not a fan of Korn this song interests me with Amy in it.

[LikePixieDust]

I saw the live performance of this on MTV this morning! I was so excited. Considering that MTV only plays music about 15% of the day, I was surprised I managed to catch it on there.

[Cfw828]

Gotta hand it to Korn. Based on this song...I know they're going to alienate a good portion of their fanbase. I'm sure some of you have seen that already...but what they're doing with their music is ballsy.

Among the stations playing it or that have added the song:

KROQ-FM Los Angeles
KCXX-FM Riverside (hey, that place sounds familiar)
KXTE-FM Las Vegas

Sirius Octane

Now, I don't know how much airplay this is going to get. Recently, historically speaking, songs that have been released to radio from these kinds of albums don't normally get extensive airplay (read Staind's "Sober" and Dark New Day "Follow the Sun Down"). But I must say that this definitely deserves some sort of push. It's so completely different from the original, that you have to play the two back to back to really grasp the changes.

[caligirl]

KCXX-FM Riverside (hey, that place sounds familiar)
yay that's my station! oh and kroq too!

[dark_whisper]

that performance was amazing!!!! amy's voice put a whole new touch on that song.

[Cfw828]

The song officially goes for radio adds February 6th.
'
Call your local rock stations...and if you don't have one...request the song through a rock station with streaming capabilities.

[Katya]

Do you see this as a song that could do well on both top 40 and rock, Chris? Just out of curiosity.

[Hollee]

I do. Didn't Nirvana's unplugged performance make charts?

[Cfw828]

Do you see this as a song that could do well on both top 40 and rock, Chris? Just out of curiosity.

Well, currently, it's only going for radio adds on rock stations. The way I see it is that if it does very well on alternative/active rock stations (talking top 10 airplay/audience)...then I can see Korn's record label potentially wanting to add the song to pop stations...certainly couldn't hurt.

I don't think I've heard too many straight up unplugged songs get added to pop stations unless the song is already popular and has a new mix of the popular song.

I do. Didn't Nirvana's unplugged performance make charts?

Alternative/rock stations wise...you still hear the songs from that album so it was definitely popular and still is.

[imaginary_light]

Dude that's awesome, i first saw it yesterday on YouTube. With Amy there, it's gonna make Ev fans get into KoRn, just like me :D

KXXR, Minneapolis/St. Paul. Pulled that just now <3. Too bad they played the wrong Lithium. :mad:

[BostonBabe]

I'm just listening to it now for the first time, and I LOVE it!!!!!!! I like it better than the original. But I guess that's because I'm the biggest Korn fan, though I do like them. Amy's vocals just make this for me. I bet that was so cool for her, getting to do a song with a band she admires like that.

[Evil Vampiress]

They haven't. I checked about an hour ago because I wanted to put it on my profile but it's not there. lol

Oh, ok. It's because something is wrong with the player thing and I can't see what is being played. I hope that makes sense.

[Kokuei]

wow that was awesome I liked it.

[Cfw828]

This is probably also going to mark Korn's first release on the new Capitol Music Group. If you haven't heard the news, Capitol Records (a major) merged with Virgin Records to make the new label.

[kiddietyte]

That was pretty cool.. just their voices don't quite match.

Amy's solo rocked the house :)

[Rockin]

Gotta hand it to Korn. Based on this song...I know they're going to alienate a good portion of their fanbase. I'm sure some of you have seen that already...but what they're doing with their music is ballsy.

Y'know what though? It's the same old thing. A band tries something a little different and the supposed hardcore fans turn on them for daring to change things up. I've seen loads of the "real" Korn fans saying how this has ruined the band's reputation and how they won't listen to their music anymore. Well, in that case those "fans" were never fans at all.

It's like how Green Day or My Chemical Romance fans turned against the bands when they tried to change their styles a little bit and were suddenly getting played on all the radio stations. All of a sudden they were too mainstream to be liked anymore. Pearl Jam, REM, NIN. All bands who dare to be different with each new album and piss off some of their less openminded fanbase.

If you like a band and respect their talent then you should be willing to give anything they do a try and see it for the work that it is. You may not always like it but that doesn't mean that you need to start slagging the band off at every opportunity and declaring that you are burning all of their cds. People like that really annoy me.

Rant over. ;)

Getting back to the song, this is amazing. I love Freak on a Leash and never imagined a quieter, more laid back version being workable but how wrong was I? This rocks. Of course, Amy's vocals definately help in that . :D

[AaronAARON]

So far today I've heard it three times.

On the way to school.
On the way home from school.
& to pick up my check from work.

[Daniel_P_16]

Wow! I just viewed this performance on YouTube and it was amazing! The Korn members played brilliantly and Amy put on her best singing performance ever throughout the whole thing. I think she may have slipped in the second chorus when she accidentally said "****", but, other than that, her voice was flawless. I will definitely listen to this song more often becuase Korn seems like a very good band with an incredible amount of talent.

[Lauren1]

Is there any way I can download the video so I can watch it when I want to? Or if someone has it, can you email it to me if that's possible?

[A*Morbid*Hope]

I Need The Song!!! Pm Me If You Have The Full Thingy......

[DarkStar]

That was pretty cool.. just their voices don't quite match.

you really think so? i think they match perfectly!

I Need The Song!!! Pm Me If You Have The Full Thingy......

theres a link on the first page of the thread to a download that lasts 45 days or something free. if you pay you can get it forever!

[Rockin]

you really think so? i think they match perfectly!!

Pretty much what I thought. They sounded great together.

[ryanoceros]

i dont think the verses really match the chorus in this song. cause amy sings in a sad kind of way on the verses, then all of a sudden sings in the same tone as the guy from korn in the chorus, oh and i have a question... is there a studio recorded version of this song??

[DarkStar]

so she has to sing it all the same way? i think she really varies her vocals. i also like that she's the one in the chorus doing the lower key and jon does the (slightly) higher one.

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Okay, I REALLY need to get this song, and the ones I clicked on the first page they just streamed the song, and so I'd have to be on all the time, well, whoever has MSN [and THIS song], my email is: mega_byte25@hotmail.com

[Cfw828]

Right click and save the first link.

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Right click and save the first link.
OK! Wow, Thanx for helping me, I'd NEVER figure that out, thanks again!

[ms_kitty_fantastica]

I saw it on you tube.
it was absolutely beautiful.

[Lithium_08]

The bridge section where Amy takes over the vocalization is unreal. She is so empassioned when she does it. I just love it.

[..Lithium..]

I heard it last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sutherbust]

Yes, Amy did a great job and so did JD but i was hoping they would do the song more like the original song with scat and all. Everyone needs to buy this cd in march and vote for it on trl. I wanna hear KoRn's version of creep by radiohead and the colab with the cure should be cool as well as the best song from syotos..Love Song. You guys gonna buy this cd as well?!

[Cirafly24]

this song is haunting me lol...i actually couldn't sleep last night because it was playing over and over in my head. it was damned annoying, i tell you! :p it's just really catchy, i guess. a wonderful piece of music. it really needs to get out of my head, though. seriously.

[ghetto fab]

I've played it about 100 times already.

:eek:

[voiceboxx]

I love it!

First of all, I don't really like KoRn and didn't like their original Freak On A Leash. But I was blown away by this performance. Why? Because I LOOOVE acoustic performances. They sounded great! And the duet was amazing. Amy did such a great job.

I love how twitchy and 'into it' she was. haha

[Hollee]

They played the video on Headbanger's Ball tonite.

[Cfw828]

They played the video on Headbanger's Ball tonite.

LOL, I'm curious as to between what two songs.

Airplay update....

Alternative stations currently playing FOAL:

Aside from the stations that have already debuted it:

WKQX in Chicago just added it.

Active Rock stations:

Aside from KXXR in Minneapolis, WKQZ in Saginaw added the song.

[A7XDeathbatGNR]

I'd like to say that I really loved this version of the song and I think Amy does a beautiful job singing on it.

[Clayton]

I've downloaded the song and It's great...
I do wish that Amy got to sing her own verse, but whatever... I like her vocalizing :p

[TwistedShadow]

i think it sounded horrid. Amy didn't sound at her best, and the lead singer of Korn can't sing worth anything (at least not that night). It doesn't sound like a Evanescency song (because it's Korn song:p ) but Amy should stick to her roots.

[Only Skin]

I don't care much for it either. I've never been a Korn fan at all. Amy's contribution wasn't bad or anything, but the song as a whole isn't great.

[Rockin]

I guess that it goes without saying that your level of appreciation for this song is going to be effected by whether you like Korn or not. Just because you happen to be a fan of Ev and Amy doesn't mean that you have to like everything she is involved with.

Like I said in my post further up, I'm a big Korn fan anyway and I love their usual stuff. This song is an old favourite of mine so add that to the guest vocals of the lovely Amy Lee and you can't go wrong, as far as I'm concerned.

Now if Amy ever does a duet with the Arctic Monkeys or The Streets I may have more of a problem liking it! Not even she can stop either of those bands from sucking. ;)

[caligirl]

its kind of funny because freak on a leash is one of the few korn songs that i like, yet even with amy in the new one, i haven't jumped on it. i like it, but haven't listened to it 100 times.

[Katya]

Actually, that's not the case with everyone. I personally don't like Korn at ALL. But this version of FOAL is just amazing to me, and it's not just because of Amy. I love the piano, the drums, the cellos, the acoustic guitars...I really love the whole song; I think the way they re-tooled it for this Unplugged session was brilliant.

I think it's much more dependent on the style of music that you like, but that's just me. I've seen some people in this thread who are Korn fans who aren't so keen on this song, and I've seen some that are...I've seen a lot of us here fall over ourselves (myself included) and some who aren't into it. So it really just depends on your own personal tastes.

I actually originally put something along those lines in my previous post. A paragraph saying that whilst there are some that will be letting their dislike of Korn get in their way of liking this song there will also be others on the flipside of the coin who will be letting their love of Amy's vocals override their disike of the band or the song. I deleted it because I didn't like how I'd worded it and was too lazy to rewrite it.

But yeah, my typing laziness notwithstanding, I do agree with what you said. :)

Exactly. It's not just simply about the voices and who it is singing. We all know that half the reason most of us listened to this song is because of Amy. If it had been any other female singer I can almost guarantee you it wouldn't be as popular as it is. Anyway back on topic, it's not only about the voices, it's about the instruments, the intricacy of it and the complexity. Breaking down a Korn song is no easy task, but they pulled it off, and did a very good job with it. I highly enjoyed not only the vocals, but the background music and the piano and the melodys. Amazing.

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Does anyone have the video for this in .WMA format?

[Katya]

Does anyone have the video for this in .WMA format?

I think you mean .wmv. .wma is audio only (WMA = Windows Media Audio. WMV = Windows Media Video).

And I think there's a .wmv video floating around somewhere, but I'm not sure.

Oops, sorry, I'm technically retarded...*bangs head on desk*....okay, now that I understand...

[Cirafly24]

You know, something just occurred to me. I think one of the reasons I love Amy's vocals so much in this song is the fact that she used some vibrato. She sings almost everything else straight, with no vibrato at all. It was refreshing to hear her using it a bit, it adds depth and maturity to her voice, I think.

[bdp226]

an acoustic korn song just sounds weird to me. johnathan davis' voice doesnt go well with amy's.

[Centrey]

That song wasnt complete without the

"Boom na da mmm da ema"

Amy did a great job, but i think korn should stick to the plugs

[dreamchaser_83]

Uh, I said computer WINDOW. As in, a player window or an internet window (like the others have said). I have a 17" flatscreen monitor :p

Dude. Trying to view ANYTHING on a monitor that size would only work for like...elves. Or something. :p At least for my ****ty eyes anyway.

imagine a 2 inch monitor....ha ha i knew what you meant by 2 inch window, i was just being a smartass (or dumbass...however you see it). i think a 2 incher would be suitable for a dollhouse or something along those lines.

i played this song for 3 of my friends, who love korn but are not fans of evanescence. they loved it and said amy did amazing in it...and coming from non ev fans, thats a big compliment! :)

[Hollee]

Jordana I'd rather go with dumbass :)

[Katya]

Ahahaha yeah I didn't catch that. I honestly thought you meant it. And I totally lied...I mixed up the sizes of my television and my flatscreen. I have a 14" flatscreen. Not 17". Haha my bad.

I seem to remember someone saying in here that a lot of the Korn fans on Kornspace like this, which I do think is awesome and a real compliment. :) The styles of Korn and Ev are very different, so it's nice to see fans of both bands appreciating the other artist.

[Hollee]

So I checked my cell phone provider to see if they had this song up yet...and yeah they do...but its the one with Corey Taylor WTF!!!!

I'm mad.

Airplay Update:
Active Rock Stations:
KISW-Seattle
WKQZ-Saginaw
KXXR-Minneapolis
WTKX-Pensacola
KZBD-Spokane
KHTB-Salt Lake City

Alternative Stations:
KXTE-Las Vegas (Already among the top 30 played with 16 spins, the most for any station at this point.)
KCXX-Riverside
KROQ-Los Angeles
WKQX-Chicago
KWOD-Sacramento

California's alt stations love Korn.

[CaptainNapalm]

I just saw the vid for "Freak..." on YouTube. I'm sorry, but I could barely listen to the whole thing, it was painful. Jonathan Davis sucks! Amy sounded awesome, as always. I really liked the vocals she did in the middle, with that middle-eastern kinda sound. Very sexy. I just think that Korn should really stick to the anger music, because the sensitive thing... ain't happening.

[Cfw828]

Airplay update: Not too shabby so far.

Between yesterday and today, Freak on a Leash is already top 10 most played on KXTE-FM Las Vegas, which does have a streaming station. It's the second most played new song just behind Chevelle's new single from their latest album.

It seems like this song has gotten more of a push out the gate than Lithium ever did.

Alternative Markets just added: St. Louis, Springfield, West Palm Beach, Boise, Burlington (Vermont), Knoxville and Springfield (Missouri).

It's almost Top 50 on the Active Rock format and it's rising very quickly. At least on this particular format, they're actually getting more play than Chevelle's new single (I talk about Chevelle simply because Chevelle is one of the bigger rock bands on either of these two formats and because new songs normally = huge airplay)

Currently #2 Taking Off just behind Bullet For My Valentine's All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me) and currently ahead of Daughtry's It's Not Over.

Active Rock Markets just added: Monmouth Ocean (New Jersey), Spokane, Detroit, Appleton, Nashville, Wichita

From the looks of things, this could be at the very least a modest hit as far as rock is concerned.

Those who like this song enough, should take advantage of the positive reaction to this song and request it at their local rock stations...and as I've mentioned before, if you don't have one...find a streaming station that rocks.

[Fabricio]

mtvla played the video like 15 times yesterday

[Evanescence Sith Lord]

I Love It Good:)

[Evanescent]

The more I see this performance the more I like it. I'm really impressed when songs from one style are transformed into another so well (in my opinion, anyway).

i'm kinda confused, is this the performance where amy's dress got caught on a nail and a guy in the audience yelled, "don't cry to me!"

[IMustBDreaming]

Yep this is the performance. Her dress got caught on a nail from Jon's chair.

[lubbockfan]

i'm kinda confused, is this the performance where amy's dress got caught on a nail and a guy in the audience yelled, "don't cry to me!"

Yes it is. Hopefully when they show the entire performance on MTV and when they release it to DVD, they'll include that part of it.

*Oops, IMustBDreaming beat me to it.*

[cantwashitallaway]

i thought it was really artistic and well done :) Definitely adds a lot to the song.

[gabriel1802]

I dont know if this is already posted:

Freak on a leash featuring Amy Lee to hit the radio and debuts on TRL

According to fmqb.com Freak on a Leash will be officialy in airplay on February 5.

The video debuted at #12 on MTV's Total Request Live and it's currently played between 30 and 35 times a week on MTV.

[Hollee]

Dude it's already somewhat on TRL's countdown.

DUDE WE PWN!

[Aloi]

Wow.
Anybody else notice that during the second
"A cheap ____ for me to lay,"
Right after the guy with the mask..
Amy sounds like she's, like, pleasuring herself or something.
lmao
Sorry, but I always noticed it :s
A Cheap AAAAAAAAAAAAaaoooooooooooooooh For Me To Lay
ahaha

I tried to download it but after it finished it said it needed to know where it came from. Anyways, it won't play. Did I do something wrong?

[Hollee]

It's a DivX file, you'll need the DivX codec and player for it to work.

[Minerva]

I heard this song on the radio today, of all places. Has anyone else heard it on the radio? Or is my radio station just random... :D

[Before-The-Dawn]

I saw this on MTV yesterday and i thought Amy sound really good better than the guy singer

[Lauren1]

It's a DivX file, you'll need the DivX codec and player for it to work.

ahhhh, okay. I just downloaded the stuff and now it's working. Thanks, I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure that out:)

[kornrocks]

Wow. All i can say is that this song is amazing. "Freak on a Leash" not only acoustic but featuring Amy Lee???? INCREDIBLE. It has pushed the band into a whole new dimension of music and it just shows how talented all of these people are. I suggest you check it out immediately if you have not yet heard it.

[Cfw828]

I heard this song on the radio today, of all places. Has anyone else heard it on the radio? Or is my radio station just random... :D

Nope. It's actually started to get quite a bit of airplay on a lot of stations (especially in the US) in the early going.

The song is a top 5 song in the first few days of playing the song on KXTE (34 times in the past week).

Not to mention the video's getting a HUUUUGE push from MTV because...it's MTV Unplugged! Leave it up to MTV to promote themselves...like they always do :p

[%%Laura%%]

Jonathan Davis talking about why they chose Amy to do a song with them:

Launch Radio Networks reports: KORN's acoustic performance of "Freak On A Leash", with Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE on vocals, is making its way onto the airwaves now as the band prepares for the arrival of its "MTV Unplugged" broadcast and CD. Singer Jonathan Davis told Launch how the idea of collaborating with Lee came about. "I thought it would be really cool," he said. "She has an amazing voice, and when we were thinking of artists we wanted to have on with us, guests, we wanted to do something that was really left field and we didn't want to do the typical thing. So having her come on — we knew she was a fan, we met her before and she said she was a huge KORN fan when she was growing up — so we decided to have her come on and sing with us."

[squid]

that's a great song that has no business being done acoustically...

[LoveZombie]

I heard it today.
They played about a minute of it then stopped cause they didn't know if they were allowed to play music taken for myspace

E-CARD!

[darkraven2022]

I heard it on the radio the other day and it was the first time I had heard it. I just kinda sat there listening to it and going "that sounds like Amy...maybe this is that Korn song." Turns out, it was!! lol

[StargazingShadows]

i liked it alot. :D

i never used to like Korn all that much...except for their 'Coming Undone' song, but thats a different story. :p

[Cfw828]

The song is currently the 2nd fastest rising song on either Alternative or Active Rock.

If this consistency continues for a few more weeks, we could be seeing a big rock radio hit.

Currently #54 on Alternative and #38 on Active Rock (where it's already passed Lithium within a week and a half of airplay).

KXTE in Las Vegas (Alternative) has played the song 43 times in the past week, by far more than ANY other station. Currently the #5 most played song on the station.

KISW in Seattle (Active Rock) currently has the song as the #3 most played song on the station behind Saliva's Ladies and Gentlemen (currently #2 on the entire format) and Pearl Jam's Love Reign O'er Me (and you know Seattle <3's its Pearl Jam).

[Katya]

Wow. That's awesome. Notice how it isn't being played in this neck of the woods, though :p

I can't tell you how much I <3 this song. Hahahaha I'm such a loser.

[caligirl]

FOAL actually looks like it could be bad news for Lithium.

[Cfw828]

FOAL actually looks like it could be bad news for Lithium.

That actually happens a lot more than one would think.

Double releases, even when they're not necessarily exactly the same artist, can throw one song off to the side.

Probably the best example as far as I remember was My Generation and Rollin' from Limp Bizkit. Rollin' became a big hit while My Generation was rather forgotten.

[Grendz]

thanks for the links. I really like that, the whole thing sounds great - even if it is a bit weird to hear a band like Korn playing acoustically.

[Scratchy]

Oh, how I love this song! It sounds so cool and different! I've been listening to it last couple of days, good stuff!

[Cfw828]

The song's about ready to pass Lithium on Alternative.

Freak on a Leash is #39 currently, while Lithium is just about done. I believe its peak was around #38 while FOAL is still picking up steam.

Active Rock FOAL = #29.

It's not Well Enough Alone, but it's gotten quite a bit of radio support. If you're preference is rock stations, request FOAL because Lithium's a done deal there. If your preference is pop or adult hits stations, request Lithium there.

BTW, Canadians...CHTZ in St. Catherine's is now playing FOAL.

[Chromillusion]

Haven't heard this yet...but the DJ on my local rock station was totally bashing it. He says "A band like Korn has no business doing an unplugged song...especially with Amy Lee."

I have to admit I was slightly hurt...

BIG sad face about "Lithium". Grr, I thought it would do so well on rock stations. I don't understand; why don't people like it? I think "CMWYS" is more pop than "Lithium". Everyone sucks. :sulk: Do you think there's the slightest possibility that if it gets real big in pop that it could make a comeback in rock? Or is that just extremely wishful thinking?

But it's good that "FOAL" is doing ok.

I doubt it. But you never know. :(

It seems to me when Hinder's "Lips Of An Angel" started getting airplay on pop radio that it got a lot more airplay on the rock station. As a matter of fact, it got too much airplay. I've heard it so many times, it's making my butt hurt.

...It makes your butt hurt? O_O

[AaronAARON]

Anyone know when It'll be on the itunes thing?

[Vampire1516]

I just heard this version today for the first time and I loved it. It's kinda haunting but I love that in a song.

[Cfw828]

Airplay update...

The song is starting to slow down considerably as far as alternative stations are concerned...it's slowing down in terms of spin increases on Active Rock too, but at least on that format, it's rising in positions.

Active Rock currently has the song at #27.

Alternative has the song at #40. It's still rising...but it seems like it's not going to if more stations don't add it.

But I'm surprised that it's gotten as far as it has already based on the opinions of some of these dj's.

[Hollee]

It shot up like that *snaps fingers* that was crazy. I wonder what's making it slow down so much now. I was def suprised it jumped that much in its first week.

[Cfw828]

It shot up like that *snaps fingers* that was crazy. I wonder what's making it slow down so much now. I was def suprised it jumped that much in its first week.

Well...

#1. It's Korn.
#2. Some of the bigger songs tend to do that. Depending on how long they do that after the week it goes for adds, they can eventually wind up in the top 10/top 5 and possibly #1.

Korn shouldn't have much of a problem selling as far as that album is concerned based on the push that MTV gave it right out the gate.

[Leteka]

yesterday on mtv 2 it was #4 on the rock countdown

[A*Morbid*Hope]

On my MSN Messenger thingy it had a thing for the song, and had a pic of Amy for it! lol

[FFXSoul91]

On my MSN Messenger thingy it had a thing for the song, and had a pic of Amy for it! lol


Lol. Same here. The description just said "Freak On A Leash (live)" by Korn, but yet it had a picture of just Amy. Haha. I found it sort of funny.

[ghetto fab]

^lol I love it.

[~*AutumnRain*~]

the song rocks! i just heard it...it's so haunting....so magificent...i love it! i saw the regular vid yesterday and today i saw unplugged version...IT ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!! LOL =)

That was pretty cool. I really want to see it now.

[ghetto fab]

haha I thought we were watching it for the Amy Lee-age.

But yeah, the rest is... nice... :shy:

[Katya]

I really liked the commentary on that. :) Way cool. And the other songs sounded really neat; I think I will try to tune in on March 2nd to see the whole thing.

They focused a lot on Amy, I noticed. Like half the trailer was her talking + FOAL. Haha.

[keziya]

I cannot wait to buy this especially after seeing that trailer!

[Hollee]

Heck. Friggin. Yes. I want that.

Yeah I noticed that. Kind of reminded me of "The Making Of 'Broken'" video on Disclaimer II. They interviewed Amy more on that than they did Shaun even though it was his group's song on his band's album.

[Rika]

Here's another trailer. There's no Amy in it but I thought I'd post it anyway 'cause it's just too cool. Japanese drums FTW.

http://www.vidiots.tv/korn/korntrailer.mov

[evelien]

I already heard the live song, you can download it..:D I think it's great, Amy's voice is so perfect, she can do a duet with everyone! what about Britney Spears next time! lol

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Okay, the YouTube thingy it gets to the part where Amy's Like "Korn is an inspiraton by my band--" and then it just stops and does the whole 'repeat' or whatever...help?

[Worm Baby]

Here's another trailer. There's no Amy in it but I thought I'd post it anyway 'cause it's just too cool. Japanese drums FTW.

http://www.vidiots.tv/korn/korntrailer.mov

Jesus christ, this is the coolest thing ever. Saws? That's so kick ass. They really went all out for this thing, and it sounds like it's really going to pay off. They could have easily just done some acoustic guitars, a little percussion, and called it a day, but they turned this into something so creative and just freaking amazing. :blink: I really can't wait.

Amy appears in the trailer to mtv korn unlugged.

check it out below!

[Firefly]

The single is available on iTunes starting today.

[caligirl]

^thanks i've been looking for it on there.

[d[-_-]b]

is the single only being release in the states???
or will it be release world wide???

[Jaded_Whisper]

I saw the video on Elite 8 on MTV last night. Amy looks like she was going to fall off her chair with how much she was moving.

[Cfw828]

is the single only being release in the states???
or will it be release world wide???

Likely, you'll see the video everywhere and perhaps hear the song on radio everywhere...but as far as getting a commercial release (In other words, getting released to stores), I doubt it.

[Phoenix.]

Man I love that song, I downloaded both the song and the video. I love em.

[Cfw828]

Airplay update:

The song's surpassed Lithium as far as rock is concerned on all major rock formats.

It's not a huge hit, but it's significant with it about to move into the top 30 of alternative and the top 20 of active and mainstream rock stations.

For the record:
Alternative stations are like Top 40 stations for rock. Most important format for Evanescence.
Active stations tend to be heavier in general than alternative with very few exceptions.
Mainstream stations are more geared towards classic rock.

[ghetto fab]

The song's also doing pretty well on iTunes. #42 overall and #8 on rock.

If it was up to me I would've had Amy's wailing/chanting be the preview for the song. :shy:

[RJMas95]

For the record:

I don't get it... my (Boston's) Alt station (107.1 WFNX) NEVER plays Evanescence... and I mean never. Why? On the other hard, Rock101 (101.1) plays CMWYS a ton and its still one of the stations most requested.

I was just watching MTV's Next and for the credit roll, they had a little snippet of Freak on a Leash playing because it is a part of MTV's Big Ten.

[Dan]

errr, how come on benmoody.com it says this in the news section:

AMY LEE ON MTV UNPLUGGED: KORN
Check out Amy Lee as she joins The Cure to record a special episode of MTV Unplugged: Korn, where she will be performing the song "Freak on a Leash." The show will air online Friday, February 23rd and on television Friday, March 2nd. Click here to read more info.



I guess it's just another wind-dumb mistake. lol

HAHA. You know Ben's gunna TiVo that ****.

[caligirl]

that seems like more than a mistake:bwahaha:

Remember what he did when they didnt have his name on the platnim record? This could be interesting

[Sick Forever]

Remember what he did when they didnt have his name on the platnim record? This could be interesting

I`m sorry about this because I know it will offend people, but Ben needs to get over it. There. More to the topic, is the visual working for anyone else? All I get is the audios.

[Cfw828]

Korn will be on Jay Leno March 1st.

[Hollee]

Korn will be on Jay Leno March 1st.

Oooooo...will it be with Amy or no?

[Cfw828]

Oooooo...will it be with Amy or no?

I do not honestly know...but it looks like the schedule is open for her to do so.

Artists normally perform singles off of albums when they do play on the late night shows. So keep an eye and ear out if that does happen.

[Hollee]

sweetness. I just heard FOAL with Amy on Music Choice Rock.

[Cfw828]

In case you didn't realize it, you can watch the show on MTV.com right now.

[IMustBDreaming]

I just watched the show a little while ago and it was totally amazing. I am so blown away! I <3 Korn. And the song they did with the Cure, Make Me Bad/In Between Days was just frieken amazing as hell. :yes: Loved it all! Can't wait for the dvd to come out so I can see the other songs they did that didn't make it onto the show.

[Chiara]

Wow! I've heard Korn singing Freak on a leash with Amy.This song,thanks to Amy's voice,is more beautiful than before! Amy and Jonathan voices are good together! I love this duet!

[Katya]

I watched this last night, and holy crap it was amazing...and I don't even LIKE Korn! Haha. They had so many cool instruments, and the songs sounded fantastic :)

I really think that I might be buying the album when it comes out. Really. They did a fantastic job with it.

[lubbockfan]

I watched this last night, and holy crap it was amazing...and I don't even LIKE Korn! Haha. They had so many cool instruments, and the songs sounded fantastic :)

I really think that I might be buying the album when it comes out. Really. They did a fantastic job with it.

I'm glad someone liked it. It seems the local DJ's here don't. They criticized all the use of all the different instruments, the absence of the distorted guitars, and Amy singing on the song.

Now with this and Lithium, they're really starting to piss me off. :mad:

[DhammaSeeker]

They criticized ... the absence of the distorted guitars ....
'Unplugged' anyone? :rolleyes:

[lubbockfan]

'Unplugged' anyone? :rolleyes:

I didn't say that our DJ's here in Lubbock are brain surgeons.

[paper_flowers_forever]

I love that song so much, it sounds great with Amy.

[Revelations]

errr, how come on benmoody.com it says this in the news section:

AMY LEE ON MTV UNPLUGGED: KORN
Check out Amy Lee as she joins The Cure to record a special episode of MTV Unplugged: Korn, where she will be performing the song "Freak on a Leash." The show will air online Friday, February 23rd and on television Friday, March 2nd. Click here to read more info.



I guess it's just another wind-dumb mistake. lol
It's not a mistake, it's promotion.

[Cfw828]

Just a reminder that Korn will be on The Tonight Show on tomorrow's show (March 1st @ 11:35 PM).

While I'm not sure Amy's going to be there, it's still definitely worth keeping an eye out for.

And while I'm at it...Clint Lowery, formerly of Sevendust & currently of Dark New Day is replacing one of Korn's guitarists for this show so be on the lookout for that too.

He's replacing Rob Patterson who toured with Korn. He played Head's guitar parts. Clint is gonna be the "other" guitarist on tour for them now. I miss Head. He's a Jesus freak now. :(

I hope Amy goes there, this would be great.
If she goes it would be awesome if somebody rip it for the people who can´t watch this show, because it doesn´t pass on their tv (people like me for example :D )

[Cfw828]

Good news for the song as far as Active Rock is concerned.

Currently it is #18 on that format and it looks like it's headed to the top 15. So it's a pretty sizeable hit on that format.

It's top 30 on alternative which isn't bad at all considering that's the toughest format to break on.

[Jaded_Whisper]

Woke up this morning and turned on the tv to see if school was closed and the channel was on MTV and the video was on.

I used to think the DJ's were pretty cool until this pass month. First, they wouldn't even consider playing Lithium. and now, they're doing the same thing with FOAL.

Just a few minutes ago, the DJ reluctantly by his own admission, said he was going to play a couple of tracks from KoRn's Unplugged album. So I perked up hoping to hear FOAL. Instead, he played KoRn's cover of "Creep" and "Got The Life." Then after playing them, he mentions their MTV Unplugged will be on Friday and then advises Lubbock listeners NOT TO WATCH!!!! I guess there goes any chance of the FVT ever showing up in Lubbock.

I'm tired of their bull**** now. And I'm going to let them know they've lost a listener. Can anyone suggest a good active rock station that still plays Evanescence and streams on line?

Just out of curiosity I was checking these radio stations above to see if they were playing EV songs on the list and the Arkansas one had just played Lithium and the Hawaii one just played Sweet Sacrifce. I was pretty pumped to see that lol

[caligirl]

heard em on KROQ the other day:)

[gothicprince]

This song is a hit between the Cuban rock music fan.

[SunriseDream]

Never cared about Korn that much, but this sounds really good. The Korn singer sounds like he can't sing at all when Amy is singing with him. But still this makes it to my mp3-player.

Though I just really loathe the line "a cheap **** for me to lay"

[Tiffany]

I've heard FOAL a couple of times on The Edge. I've heard it on there more than Lithium....But I'm sure they'll be playing them both over and over as it gets closer to them being here. They always do :)

[CrackedOutLithium]

they show the video all the time lately on mtv/mtv hits/mtv2.

anyways,i was on trls site voting today and i couldnt find FOAL on the list so I voted for lithium did they take it off already?

[bjgrem]

Wal-Mart over by my house screwed up. It's not supposed to come out until tuesday on CD and I bought it today. :D

[SapphireDust]

her hair looks sooooooooo weird as in in a bad way!!!!!!!

[Cfw828]

Freak on a Leash was #3 on Sirius Octane's Top 20 countdown the week of February 25th.

[Chiidatbe]

Wal-Mart over by my house screwed up. It's not supposed to come out until tuesday on CD and I bought it today. :D

That's mean! It's supposed to be out here today and I've going to have to go out of the area to get it cos none of the stupid music stores here have it :p

[Cradleofdeath]

hi guys.. Today is the fist time that korn's unplugged is in latin america tv.. I'm so excited for it. And amy looks beautiful.. Thanks for that pretty song amy.. I know is a song of korn but with your voice it sounds. Wow.. Thanks amy.. I luv u..

[Cfw828]

I was just listening to Squizz and the DJ said something to the effect of...If you do not like the acoustic version of Korn's Freak on a Leash with Amy Lee of Evanescence...please stop listening...now, thank you. And then they played it. Kinda silly...don't know if they don't like Ev or if they just don't really like the way FOAL was done...:-/

[AaronAARON]

When is this video going to be available on itunes to download as a video?

[Star121]

You can already get it from itunes.

[FutileGrief]

Cool, they premiered (sp?) the unplugged yesterday in latin america, there was just a liiitle more footage from the interview with amy (and robert *drools all over the place*), and an intoduction for latin american fans by Jonathan ^_^

[AaronAARON]

You can already get it from itunes.

So my Wal Mart doesn't have it. I'M MAD!

And then they played it. Kinda silly...don't know if they don't like Ev or if they just don't really like the way FOAL was done...:-/

Or maybe they'd gotten a lot of complaints from listeners and just wanted to give those complainers a fair warning -- "We're gonna play it now, you have three seconds to change the station."

I liked this song (-ish) when it was just Korn, but taking out some of its metal-ness, adding the tribal-sounding drums, toning Jonathan Davis down a bit, and bringing Amy in just made it unbearably flucking awesome.

[lubbockfan]

So my Wal Mart doesn't have it. I'M MAD!

We got it at K-mart. As a matter of fact we are almost sold out.

[hummer12]

really amazing track ,i can't stop hearing this track its awesome

[Cfw828]

The album debuted at #9 on the Billboard chart on the strength of Korn & the lead single.

[Hollee]

We don't have a KMart.

[JBJBLITHIUM]

this may have been asked before but the version on tv is that what is on the cd like with the audience clapping on it or did they do another recording that is on the cd where they dont bleep the f word. cuz i can only find the live one. anyone have the one on the cd if it isn't the same

[Julieann]

All the other Unplugged albums I've heard consist of the tracks recorded in front of the live audience. And, not to get technical, but...the "f" word wasn't bleeped--they just didn't sing it. :)

[myzterons]

Actually that's mesed up!
Why will Alanis say **** in her mtv unplugged but Korn dare not?
I really do have an issue with that, it takes a lot of anger away from the song.

[JBJBLITHIUM]

but...the "f" word wasn't bleeped--they just didn't sing it. :)

yes i'm aware it wasn't bleeped. i just said that for some reason. so you dont' think there is anothe recorded version for the cd?

[Hollee]

I just got the Unplugged today and I'm listening to it as we speak. And no it isn't any different from the one we saw on TV. The talking, clapping and everything else is still on there. I'm kinda mad they cut out the 'don't cry to me' part. They just kinda blended FOAL into Falling Away From Me. But WOW this is awesome and it was sooo worth the 15 bux.

[Sick Forever]

A guy I know said that Amy sang Freak on a Leash totally by herself on Comedy Central. Is this true?
