History Trivia / Korn

* PromotedFanboy: [[Music/{{Slipknot}} Corey Taylor]] stated in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ZCtkIhw2A interview]] that he was "blown away" by Korn in 1995 after seeing the music video for "Clown" on Creator/{{MTV}} and then seeing them live as an opening act for Music/{{Megadeth}}. Over twenty years later, Taylor would be guest feature in their song "A Different World".

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A CoverAlbum, entitled ''Korn Kovers'', was in development in the late 2000s, but David Silveria's departure and other obstacles led to it getting shelved in 2010. While promoting ''The Serenity of Suffering'', the band stated that they're planning to revisit the project [[AnyDayNow sometime soon]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: They were planning to release a CoverAlbum called ''Korn Kovers'' in the late 2000s but after David Silveria's departure along with other stuff, it was scrapped in 2010 as confirmed by Jonathan Davis. However, in an August 2016 interview with ''Billboard'' while promoting ''The Serenity of Suffering'', the band said that they will eventually finish the album, so only time will tell if said album gets released or not.

* HitlessHitAlbum: Korn has sold over 40 million albums worldwide, yet they barely scored a Top-40 hit in 2002 with [[ChartDisplacement a song that isn't close to being their signature]].

* OneHitWonder: Technically, "Did My Time" was their only top 40 hit on the Hot 100, but they are one of the most well known rock bands of the past 15 years. Not to mention, "Did My Time" is certainly not their most famous song--that would probably be "Freak on a Leash."

* CreatorBreakdown
* EnforcedMethodActing: Reportedly, producer Ross Robinson went to great lengths to get Korn to "remember who they were" when recording their 9th album. This included measures ranging from aggressively taunting/berating the new drummer to make him play more passionately to bringing Jonathan Davis's wife and son into the studio and making them sit across from him while he recorded vocals. Even Davis's therapist got on Ross's case about this, but ultimately all involved seem to have been pleased with the results.
