Dewey Decimal Number: 782.421660922 EAN: 9780312253967 ISBN: 0312253966 Label: St. Martin's Griffin Manufacturer: St. Martin's Griffin Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 186 Publication Date: May 05, 2000 Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin Sales Rank: 1163374 Studio: St. Martin's Griffin Editorial Review: In the past eight-years, the face of popular culture has changed radically and with it, the music that will define the decade. Gone are the pop saturated songs of the 70's and 80's. Today's sound is a fusion of grunge, hip-hop, metal, hardcore and funk. Disparate sounds that together create something thoroughly modern and unlike anything we've heard before. No band embodies this musical melting pot more than Korn. With their frantic, no-holds-barred image and sound, Korn has jumped musical boundaries to be both Billboard chart toppers and a band with a loyal, obsessive following. --Their debut album, 'Korn' went platinum and has sold millions --'Life is Peachy' debuted at number three on the Billboard charts --Korn's latest album, 'Follow the Leader' has sold over two million copies and remained on the Billboard charts for over twenty-eight weeks. Elina Furman's in-depth look at the band's meager beginings to their breakthrough success with 'Follow the Leader,' their current multi-platinum album is a fan's ultimate guide. Related Items:
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not that badIt is a accurate but really long time KoRn fans would know most of the information in it, it may help maybe give more details to it but really all the book did was make what i knew from "unofficial sources" official and legit for my research paper on Jon Davis as a writer. If you are a parent who maybe curious about there child's favorite band that screams FAGET! real loud it's a good read. KoRn fans who care about little momentos like that I guess it's worth spending the ten dollars on the book because if KoRn is a band who you've supported from start and beyond it's kind of like a cool little item to show your dedication to the band. Hopefully after the next KoRn album a catch up version of this book will be written. Rating:  - Nothing the Average KoRn Fan Doesn't KnowKoRn's been my favorite band for some time now and I try to read up on everything about them. Leah Furman's sketch of KoRn's career is everything it should be and it isn't bad, but provides very little insight or even opinion. The average KoRn fan has heard all of this from articles, interviews, and other KoRn fans. I was hoping for a more personal look into the band's lives, espeically Jon's, but instead I got just an overview I've heard a million times previously. But I guess Leah's rendition is about as personal and as insightful as it gets considering if the band or one of it's members decided to do an autobiography which I see being a very high possibilty someday. It's not like she was there very every moment. Everything she wrote about in this book she had read somewhere and that makes this biography very unadventurous to the average big time KoRn fan who has probably read from all the same sources as the author. This is more of a book I'd give my Dad to read when I'm finally fed up with him asking "What's with this KoRn business?" I also think the biography was written in a bad time. There's is much more to the story of KoRn that has already been written and will be written. Alot of this book was badly researched. Not anything dealing with KoRn, but when this book described the KoRn song "No Place To Hide" being nominated for the Grammy's it names the other nominees. And it refers to Tool's masterpeice "Aenima" as "Aenema" more than once as one of the nominees. Later in the book it also refers to Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" as "Bamwitdaba." These writting errors are just irritating and are throughout this book. I guess it's not an overall bad read, but it's not overly exciting or informative. Rating:  - Are You Ready?!?!?!The book KoRn Life in the Pit by Leah Furman is a good book for anyone that is courious about the band. It's a good bio for the band , but not for the guys in the band.It does tell a little bit about the boring up brining in Bakersfeild for the guy. Mostly the frontman Jon Davis's home front. The book does a good job of details of the very beging of the bands that fromed KoRn like SexArt and Creep and up the band second album Life is Peachy. When the book reaches the time of the third album Follow the Leader. The book is a little old and only goes up to the first recordings of the guys fourth album also know as Issues. Rating: - KORN IS THE BESTHEY FANS OF KORN KORN IS THE BEST THEY RULE THE MUSIC WORLD IF U R NOT A FAN OF KORN YOU SHOULD BE CAUSE TAKE IT FROM ME I KNOW GOOD MUSIC WHEN I HEAR IT GO OUT AND BUY ALL THERE CD,S YOU WON"T REGRET IT I PROMISE YOU.
