  • John Wagner from Rancho Cucamonga, CaThis comment specifically goes out to Jonathan Davis but the whole band because without any one of you the music that you produced wouldn't be what it was and wouldn't have spoken how it spoke to me! The song "Daddy" and that intro about his mom... And I write this with tears, but that intro and that song had so much freaking heart it was unbelievable and Mr Davis sir you are a superhero in my estimation! I got to let you know! You are a super freaking hero dude! You took a real freaking bad situation the worst one on this planet and you produced a masterpiece all about it and it had to have been real hard to do... hard for the whole band I would imagine. I'd like to get to meet you someday and talk to you. All y'all. You guys are great! If anyone knows how I can shoot an email to the band please respond and let me know thank you very much and I hope you guys have a blessed day!
  • Marcos Guzman from Yuba City Ca I can so relate to this song from my boys Korn so sad but true the s--t that happens when you use too much Meth so thankful for being introduced to this band that’s helped me out so much in life KORN FOR LIFE.
  • Robert from Lethbridge, Abhey the ladies can understand it too Wilfred, if they have a larger clit, and or a pecker as well they could have their own style of a helmet in the bush.
  • Brooke from Des Moines, IaIs the ending Bails-a-Bub? (...Satan language.)
  • Aiden from Hendersen, NvSure, I know what the title means but what the hell is that sound John is making?
  • Harley from Auckland, New ZealandThe Christian convert is Brian "Head" Welch, one of their Guitarists.
  • Matt from Boston, MaI used to take a LOT of speed. When I was having my problem i would listen to this song over and over again. Teen agnst. The most messed up band members help with the most messed up. It's an intense and emotional song without the normal BS Korn theatrics.
    Anyhow, Korn needs to cheer up a little. They should be more like whatshisface, the Christian convert. Good for him.
  • Wilfred from Melbourne, AustraliaThe title is just so dam funny once you understand what the song is about... guys, you'll understand this better than the ladies... absolutely priceless!
  • Nick from Paramus, NjA drum machine was used on this song, and in many parts of their later songs.
  • Joseph from Manteca, CaLa Caco was their guitar tech I think
  • Jeff from Bakersfield, CaIve met La Caco, and he is a nice guy, so the comment is right on.
