"Blind" is the first single by American nu-metal band Korn. It appears on their self-titled debut album.
The first version of this song had been recorded on band's demo entitled Neidermeyer's Mind, released in 1993. There is slight difference between these versions, the primal version had a more heavy-metal feeling, and the version that appeared on band's debut LP featured hip-hop stylized bridge.
The song was used as the ending theme for the U.S. release of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, and it was also used in the 2000 film Charlie's Angels, directed by McG, a director who has directed several Korn videos.
[edit] Origin
It is one of the songs Jonathan Davis has written with his former band-mate from Sexart, guitarist Ryan Shuck, and the fact that Korn has used this song on his album without crediting him almost led to case in court. The end of the song also features an uncredited Cypress Hill riff[citation needed].
