Korn's "Y'all Want A Single" Video


Recommended Posts

Midway through Korn's new "Y'all Want a Single" video, the words "The record company wanted us to change this video ? we didn't" flash on the screen. It's not a joke.

"They locked us out of our own editing booth," singer Jonathan Davis said at Thursday's announcement of the Projekt Revolution Tour in Hollywood. "It's been crazy, the [uproar caused by]this video. That's what we like to do, though. We got to go up there and put our ass on the line for artists."

"Y'all Want a Single," the second release from Korn's recent Take a Look in the Mirror, is an angst-fueled, expletive-riddled protest against the record industry. The video is even harsher.

"It's gonna cause a big stir in the music business, period, because it's basically a video about us destroying a record store, and all this different verbiage comes up talking about how really corrupt the music industry is," Davis said. "We're just asking for it with this video, and it's pretty amazing. We're really excited about it."

Epic Records, Korn's label, did not immediately respond to a request for comment

IMO, it stinks. KoRn is mad about their last record's sales when bands that are arguably better than them have yet to earn the TOTAL sales for all of their record that "Untouchables" got. Now that they're not the main focus of their record company's attention, either, they're mad. Cry me a river... I bought the album, but only because it's good. Not because they need money.

Apollo -- that's "Right Now"'s video.

Hmm ya know, Korn is past it's prime, it's been past it's prime with Issues, well Issues it was kinda in it's prime but slowly loosing it. Now with this new CD it's almost totally lost it, yes their angry but they've been angry for years.

As for that song how cute! They are making a single out of an "anti-single" song with the F word in it every 5 seconds almost literally, why I can't wait to hear it! "Yall want a single, say ---- that"x1million, it'll be great!

Korn?You can digest Korn its what you poop out and get washed away somewhere. Maybe it's time they went away.

I love the new Korn stuff. It's him just being ****ed about things again and letting it out. Props to Johnathan for using his music to vent his feelings instead of writing generic lyrics that flood the one hit wonder rock bands today.

You only get to do things like that when you kick ass. Love the son;);)
i love the new korn stuff so much better then untouchables,

Ditto.

The new CD is more of a move back to the OLD Korn - Korn album and I love it. After Korn - Korn they just got worse with this release I actually bought the cd. The rest I just d/l'd listened to and deleted after 5 minutes they were trash. Only 2 albums I own from them Korn - Korn and This one Take a look in the mirror. Grabbin the vid now will be nice to see it.

Erm: they didn't plan on making it a single. The record company did. There's no way they could stop them from it.

thx for the link.

this is a good video. they make some very valid points. i love "do you download music" "steal this video" and all that.

they seem really ****ed of at the industry. f the industry.

Yeah, f all the big corporations. Who needs big corporations? F them... We're all so opressed. KoRn speaks for the opressed world!

...Sorry, but I don't agree at all. These statements have BEEN made numerous times by bands years ago. KoRn just decided on doing it now because the record company isn't pumping their publicity and giving 'em money for videos.

horrible song. its funny how korn talks about "does this sound like a formula to you" in the video yet they have stuck with the same formula themselves as far as making music and its just about done...

however with that being said, damn good video. i have to respect them just for the fact they made the video and what they are saying within it. nothing but props for that aspect. again i could go on about how they know its trendy to attack the music business right now, so they themselves are using what is trendy to showcase what is a horrible song, etc. etc., but ill leave it as thinking they are sincere and by saying props to them for the video and its overall message...

korn was always one of the best bands EVER. and i truly mean it. they were the ones inventing and reinventing music, band that started a lot of things, a band that stands up for their fans.

if you didnt know, yall want a single was voted to be the next single by fans.

they just amaze me.

as for the music, the only album i didnt like was untouchables. every other was just to unique to compare with the other one.

I never really cared with the industry did to monopolize music and make profitable singles because I haven't listened to that sort of garbage for years. However, I'm becoming increasingly concerned lately because many of these tactics are beginning to spill over into the type of music that I do listen to. The "single" off of Dimmu Borgir's latest effort, Death Cult Armageddon, titled "Progenies of The Great Apocalypse" had a rather good video made for it that made it onto airwaves here in the US, namely on Fuse's "Uranium" and MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball" programs. This would normally make me happy, but the song is shortened from 5 1/2 minutes to just under 3 1/2 as the Korn video states is the "average" length of single tracks. I feel that Black Metal, Progressive Metal, and other sorts of great music are ready to make it big, but the question is is that what's really good for the genre? I couldn't bear to see some of my more favorite artists such as Opeth, Darkest Hour, Dream Theater, Iced Earth, In Flames, etc. each go down this path. For those reasons, I hope that real metal and progressive music always remains true to its fanbase and as more of a "novelty" for those not welcome.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each.

    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
