Oh shit Korn & Skrillex together on a song?! This song is amazing it has this aggressive prodigy smack my "chick" up techno-rock sound to it, and I loved Korn when i was in middle school.

Heheh GYF likes a lot of music :> But I mean Skrillex is definitely one of my favorite Djs (probably because I used to like From First to Last :kii:) and the "STFU, Get Up" part slays me ![:w00t:](//storage.proboards.com/1258812/images/0uStgtCbKlTtuGiusKmo.gif)

Didn't even know it was supposed to be released tomorrow. Interested to hear how the full-length turns out.

I doubt the whole album is going to be dubstep.

I imagine most of the album will be dubstep-oriented, but it doesn't necessarily infer every track on the album will be influenced by that sub-genre solely. Skrillex has recorded material that is decidedly not in the "dubstep" sub-genre but has resonated just as strongly to fans. "With You, Friends (Long Drive)" is a perfect example, which actually sounds incredibly sentimental. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

Also Korn has never been known to completely be overwhelmed by a new direction. For example, See You On The Other Side was heavily influenced by industrial, but not every song on there is obviously in that vein. I imagine Korn will take whatever they can from the genre but apply it to their typical core.

Wow. I'm probably going to have to buy the album. It would be awesome to see Korn break through again and have some real success.

Not entirely sure why this is out peaking "Oildale" & "Let the Guilt Go."

Because it's a lot better and a lot more currently relevant. Dubstep his HUGE. Skrillex is MASSIVE, potentially more popular than Korn at least with today's youth. Skrillex is on his way to being the defining artist of electronic music of this decade, and I think he has a legitimate shot at becoming an establishment on the level of Korn or Slipknot or maybe even Trent Reznor. Korn gets this and active rock radio is starting to get this. Skrillex isn't there yet, but he is one of the artists to watch in all of music right now. So I don't get how this song's success is remotely surprising especially in comparison to "Oildale" and "Let The Guilt Go" which sounded dated, derivative, and forgettable.
"Get Up" is also currently #2 at active rock RateTheMusic so apparently it's even more popular than radio realizes it is.

I would agree that "Oildale" & "Let the Guilt Go" were dated, and didn't really grab your attention. Is "Get Up!" better, though? No. Sure, it's fresh and original (I guess), but the lyrical content and cheesiness of it, doesn't make it feel real or genuine to me. I guess I'm getting at what the guys said on the first page. "Shut the fuck up, get up!" - is that what Korn are resorting to these days? I think you may be overestimating Skrillex a bit here, too. The only reason I had heard of him before this single was because he did the whiny-assed vocals for From First to Last. My bet is that this is just another phase for him. He may be doing something else in a year or two. I certainly would never put him in the same breath as Trent Reznor. I don't like Dubstep, though, so I'm obviously not going to agree with you.

He may be doing something else in a year or two. I certainly would never put him in the same breath as Trent Reznor. I don't like Dubstep, though, so I'm obviously not going to agree with you. I'm not talking about quality here. I'm just saying, Skrillex is already more famous than From First To Last ever was, so much so that it's going to be an afterthought at his career's end. And I'm talking about potential growth in success. Chad Kroeger is as famous as Trent Reznor so why can't Skrillex be too? I happen to like Skrillex so I'm fine with him gaining the popularity he has. I also like the popularity of dubstep because it's returning music with a heavy wall-of-sound aesthetic to the mainstream. And if it wipes out Indie and Cock rock in its wake, I'd be totally down with that. Just to give you an idea of how big he is, in about a year's time, he ALREADY has more facebook likes than Hinder, Puddle Of Mudd, Saving Abel, Theory Of A Deadman, and Sick Puppies; and he's just barely behind bands like Seether, Shinedown, and The Black Keys. And considering Skrillex came into existence as a project for him in June 2010, that's FUCKING INSANE! So no, I don't overestimate...you underestimate.

Well, From First to Last were a fairly unassuming post-hardcore band, so overtaking them fame-wise wasn't exactly an amazing achievement. Oh, I was talking about quality with the Trent Reznor reference. I can't ever see Skrillex being a critics darling in the same vein as Reznor. I don't know if I can take an emo doing dubstep seriously. Seems like too much of a career change, musically, to be taken sincerely. Also, a lot of those Facebook likes were probably from little emo girls. I can't see The Black Keys & Shinedown pulling in that same crowd. That doesn't relate to sales in any way shape or form, any way.

That doesn't relate to sales in any way shape or form, any way. Again, you're overrating the impact of From First To Last. They're so irrelevant and forgotten at this point that I doubt they account for more than 50,000 of the nearly 900,000 likes. Second, sure Shinedown and Black Keys would dominate Skrillex in sales right now. But the fact that he's already this big via word of mouth in the course of 365 days, in an era where concerts and social media mean a lot more than record sales....the point wasn't to say he's as big as these bands, the point was...holy shit, he got this close this fast. And you're wondering why he offers such a big boost to Korn...like it or not, dubstep is trending huge and is way more relevant than ANYTHING active rock has going on right now. To deny that is just ignorant.

Also, Shinedown's top 5 videos on youtube add up to having fewer views than Skrillex's single most viewed video...and Shinedown has been around since the beginning of youtube. And Shinedown is among the biggest bands active rock has going for it right now. And no, this has nothing to do with From First To Last. It has to do with Skrillex being the biggest artist in the biggest new genre. You will realize this sooner or later so you can disagree with me now, but in a year or two, it's going to hit you how monumental he has become when he's even bigger then than he is now.

Dubstep may be relevant, but that doesn't mean it's good. Dance-pop is relevant, too... I think you've sort of misunderstood me to a degree here. I'm not saying this genre won't be big, I'm saying I'm not a fan.

I'm not saying this genre won't be big, I'm saying I'm not a fan. You're completely missing HIS point. He is trying to explain to you that your ignorant comment about him being a "whiny emo kid that people only know about because of From First To Last" is completely misguided and wrong, considering he's at least 50x more massive than From First to Last ever was. Don't pretend you weren't arguing that point when your posts CLEARLY show you arguing it. His point is that, regardless of the genre overall, and regardless of whether you like it or not, Skrillex has gotten AS BIG as some of the biggest names in Active Rock. And those bands took years, some decades to get there. Skrillex has been around for a year.
