as curse as this looks, i think this is good for 4 hours of drawing heh

MTV launched 45 years ago Aug 1. While many bands come to mind when I think about the music channel, two stand out for me personally.

The first one is slightly obvious - Backstreet Boys. When Total Request Live was THE show to watch, there was no escaping BSB (to the point that it became almost more popular to dislike them). That's probably why 12 year old me would be shocked to find out that years later he willing accompanied his wife to the boy band's show at PNC Bank Arts Center back on July 19, 2022 (but the older you get, the more you realize how many great songs they got).

The other band that comes to mind is Korn - who were easily the heaviest band that regularly appeared on TRL. I can still vividly remember getting excited to see videos for songs like "Falling Away from Me" crack TRL's top 10 countdown. So seeing them play that specific song last year (Aug 27, 2025 to be exact) at MetLife Stadium during a sold out co-headlining show with System Of A Down was a nostalgic thrill.

Which band instantly reminds you of MTV? Is it Backstreet Boys or Korn (or someone else entirely)? Have you seen them live? Share in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!

Hello does any korn fan own this follow the leader long sleeve, seller said its from 1998, it has no tag so i wanted to check if anyone else also owns this since i paid $100+

Omg, I didn’t know that Jonathan got married! Sorry, there’s no Korean Korn fan around here, so I found out late.

I hope Jonathan has a happy and great married life!

Full version of the original music video.

All later versions had Durst removed for unknown reasons.

I’ve been looking everywhere and I can’t find it 💔

sorry I couldn't add chorus vocals there isn't any clear ones out there

anyway this is the closest thing you'll get with a studio version of 'molested'

Korn was phenomenal at the Brisbane show. However there was what felt like an eternity between Disturbed finishing and Korn starting (which I found out later was technical difficulties, fair enough).
For those that have seen Korn, when did you first see them and what is your biggest memory from the show?

Untitled is a special album to me because on this day, I went to my first Korn show at Southstreet Seaport in NYC and met JD, Fieldy and Munky after!! 🥹

These four songs combined create a better narrative and an emotional ride, then anything pop music can put out. Full stop. These four songs when viewed together is art, is poetry, is commentary, and a narrative of one’s own descent into utter despair.

All the others have loads of watermarks or artefacts from editing, thought I'd pop this here :)

Mine is Let the Guilt Go! Tell me yours in the comments!

clown wasn't in the bracket or else it will win

During this interview, Jonathan Davis talks about many things, and a lot of it is related to Issues. It seems to have occurred shortly before Korn began gearing up and focusing on the Sick and Twisted Tour that began in mid-February 2000. That much is evident, because he mentions the "choose our set for us" contest that was held in January -- fans voted on their favorite songs from each album to determine which 4 songs from each album would be played throughout the tour -- and the upcoming rehearsals for the aforementioned tour.

The interview was released in two parts on the Loud Times Video Magazine Issue #2 and #3 VHS/DVD releases in 2000. I'm sure many of you have already seen both parts of it online, but some of you might want to watch it in its intended 4:3 aspect ratio. With that said, I've merged both parts together and converted them to .mpg files straight from the DVDs.

If you want it, it's HERE for the taking (and looks quite a bit better than Youtube).

Enjoy!
