[edit] Korn Group

Now that Korn's page has been locked ('til June of 2008), how about we start a Korn Wikiproject or task force? It's relieving now that the stuff is less likely to get edited or removed by a anonymous user. Tjohnsond (talk) 15:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

There was a Wikiproject specifically for Korn, but because not enough members joined, the project failed and was redirected to the main task force, Wikiproject:Metal. Talk to User:Thundermaster about it, though. Dark Executioner (talk) 23:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Does anyone know how to put video clips as sources?

...Because on Kornspace.com a few days ago, a video was posted. It was Fieldy, talking about making a new solo album (jazz fusion), an inspirational book and Korn making a new album in 2008 that's more of a return to their roots. However, I don't know how to put the link that'll take you directly there. If anyone can help me out... please do. Dark Executioner (talk) 15:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Disregard, I figured it out. :) Dark Executioner (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can someone..

Make the redirect link to Korn: Live in Montreux 2004 work? Much thanks would be apreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kornography (talkcontribs) 01:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

You have to use the same capitalization. I fixed it for you. Also, don't forget to sign your posts. = ∫tc 5th Eye 02:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Genre

I updated the "Genre" info to be changed from "Industrial Metal" to "Industrial Rock". I think their later stuff does not have any metal influences or enough of a metal influence to be considered "Industrial Metal", but more of "Industrial Rock" sound....I know, probably not that much of a difference, but think of it as comparing NIN (who are Industrial Rock) to Fear Factory or Dagoba (Industrial Metal). AnthonyG (talk) 19:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Too bad individual opinion is not appreciated here on Wikipedia, especially when it comes to something as touchy as genres. Besides, industrial metal was sourced. It's best to not mess with sourced stuff. Remember that this is an encyclopedia next time you edit, man. Dark Executioner (talk) 22:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Has it never occured to call them "nu metal" as thats what they are...--Issueskid (talk) 15:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

lol. Dark Executioner just mentioned genres being a touchy subject, and you're already mouthing off about Korn being nu metal (according to whom?) This is why I just leave it as "rock" and nothing else. Rock covers everything, including metal and its subgenres. Lovetoadmire (talk) 16:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Korn are nu metal according to almost everyone except themselves and the reason for that is that they disregard the term altogether. They don't think that nu metal doesn't apply to them, just that it is meaningless and that they prefer not to be categorised. Many bands are like this. This does not mean that wikipedia should say that these bands do not have a genre or anything like that.

Also, they have only been industrial metal since See You on the Other Side so this should be included in the infobox. It would not be anything for this sort of thing to be in infoboxes in any case: check out Napalm Death and Carcass. Munci (talk) 03:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Well rock is what I'm going with, not what some critic or magazine says. Lovetoadmire (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's not what wikipedia goes with. Sorry for shifting your comment but it was too ambiguous the way it was. Munci (talk) 04:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
