LIFE IS PEACHY

Chi

Tour and road footage showing band exhaustion and the down sides of the road.

Lost

The stalker video.
Scenes of Jonathan trying to do things, i.e. walking down the street with a girl, etc.
Basic everyday stuff that keeps getting interuppted by an annoying teenage fan-boy that runs up to Jonathan at inappropriate moments asking for autographsas well as doing and asking things fans shouldn't.
Jonathan is constantly pissed, but not til the near end of the song does the fan-boy start to get pissed, too.
During the "pain in which I feel" lines we see the fan in his Korn-ed out room constructing a crude Jonathan voodoo doll.
Next he is back to the stalking, always a few feet behind Jonathan.
Jonathan does not notice the fan-boy as he sneaks around behind Jonathan.
He follows Jonathan and his hot woman date to the theatre.
They enter, Jonathan and date sit towards the front, fan-boy a few rows behind.
During the last line the fan-boy pokes the voodoo doll in the back and Jonathan jerks forward as his date looks at him oddly.
Fan-boy snickers to himself.

Swallow

The guys play in an old nasty sewer tunnel.

Camera shows each individual person playing/singing one at a time.

Back to Top

Porno Creep

Camera follows closely on Jonathan exiting his car and entering his house.
During song he walks around the house as if searching for something.
Before the song ends he opens a door to a room full of porn, some plays on tv.
He shuts the door and exits the house as the song ends.

Back to Top

Good God

During the opening "123 beat" we see 3 iron stakes being driven into the ground with the beat.
Camera quickly zooms back to reveal a dark and eerie circus tent which is old and tattered.
It appears to be highlighted by green light.
Sign over opening says "Circus" in that Barnum and Baley writing.
During the opening riffs the camera flashes from scene to scene of 1920s type patrons entering the circus and taking seats.
We also see the band as circus attractions, or "freaks", in cages backstage in the dark, peering through the curtains.
As Jonathan sings the virst verse we see him sitting in his cage chained; straw lines the bottom.
Before the bridge a ring leader stands on a small stage in front of a curtain announcing(with no sound) the first "freak".
As the bridge begins the curtain is opened to reveal Jonathan in his cage on-stage with a wooden sign on the cage that reads "Wolfman".
He looks panicked yet oddly calm as the patrons stare at him in delight and horror during the chorus.
Scene occasionally shows the rest of the band backstage like before shaking their heads in sympathy.
As the chorus ends a tear streams down Jon's face.
Next we see yet another stage; same story as before.
Curtain opens to reveal Munky in his cage, he scampers around in fright.
He is furrier and has a tail, his sign reads "The Munky Boy".
During the bridge Head and Fieldy are revealed.
Head is "Elephant Man", David is "Frogboy" and Fieldy is a "Hunchback".
Patrons laugh and throw popcorn at the camera.
We notice Jon is looking very angry and he appears to be staring at the Ringleader.
Patrons, and Ringleader, stare horrified as Jon begins to transform.
Also, the scene glances back and forth to the other cages as the band now has instruments.
Just as the bridge gets heavy Jonathan breaks out of his cage, now a full fledged Werewolf, and begins terrorizing the circus tent as people flee.
As the song is about to end the Ringleader lays on the ground outside the tent trembeling as the Jon wolf slowly approaches him.
Jon is rabid looking and angry.
At the last line of the song he leaps at the camera, scene switches quickly to show the screaming face of the Ringleader, back to Jon wolf as he is leaping towards the off camera Ringleader.
Camera zooms into a part of the wolf making the screen go black and the video ends.

Back to Top

Mr. Rogers

Jonathan sits in a basement apartment that's only illuminated by a glowing TV screen that he sits on the ground in front of.
He seems zombified.
During the whispering intro the camera quickly switches from a left side view of Jon to a frontal view to a right side view, along with the rhythm.
He stares wide eyed at the TV screen lighting his face as he sings.
During the thumping beats in the first verse the scene quickly shows scenes of Jon smashing the TV from different angles with a baseball bat along with the rhythm.
Mr. Rogers plays on the TV the entire time.
During the chorus the band plays in front of a huge towering wall of TVs all playing Mr. Rogers.
Repeat the above for the next verse and chorus.
After the "snaps" we see Jon standing in front of the camera singing to it as images of Mr. Rogers episodes spin around his head mid-pace.
During the "I hate you!"s, we see the full scene of Jon smashing the TV.
Back to the TV wall for chorus, before the song begins to end all the TVs begin to "snow".
As the song ends we see Jonathan standing in front of the now smashes and sparking, yet still illuminating the room, TV.
He is panting and holding the baseball bat.
The camera slowly zooms away to a fade.

The end.

Back to Top

Wicked

Camera close up on pavement.
Pan up to a scene of a block party in the ghetto.
Jon walks towards the camera and yells "wicked!" into it.
Camera follows Jon and Chino as they walk down the block through the whole song and sing.
They interact and typical block party things ensue.
As the song ends the camera zooms backwards at mid-pace and fades to black.

Back to Top

Lowrider

Band rides mid-pace down the street in a brown lowrider driven by Head.
Fans and chicks walk along the sidewalks as they drive.
Fans scream(no sound) and wave, etc.
Chicks wear bikinis, or are scantily clad, and just look hot.
Head uses the car's hydrolics through the song wich bounce the rest of the band out of the car and onto the street each time.
As song ends we see a rear view of the car riding towards the Hollywood sign as the sun sets and the band jog behind after Head.
Scene closes into black showing only the Hollywood sign for a brief moment, then fades to total black.

Back to Top

Ass Itch

Jonathan sits at a small hotel table with an overhead lamp next to an open window.
A pen and empty paper pad sit on the table.
As he sings he keeps looking out the window.
As he does the scene flashes to the sun setting in fast motion.
Scene cuts to a view from outside the hotel window looking in as Jon moves around the hotel in a "writer's block fashion" in fast motion.
Scene cuts to fast motion view of the sun rising.
During chorus Jon sits at the table, it is night, but the overhead lamp is on.
He sings the chorus staring at the blank paper pad as the camera swings around the table mid-pace.
Repeat the above, only now Jonathan is trashing the hotel room.
During the "just set me free" part we see Jonathan in the chorus scene which stays the same through the chorus.
As the song reaches the last two lines we see the scenes of the sun setting and rising and Jon trashing the htoel room in super-fast motion.
As the song ends Jon sits back down at the table, it is night, and begins to write.

Back to Top

Kill You

Camera warps into a scene of a dark bedroom.
Jonathan lays in bed singing.
In between the vocals the scene cuts to a dusty wooden room where Korn puppets play.
After second verse the scene shows the Korn puppets playing and the Jonathan puppet singing through the chorus.
During the bridge Jonathan tosses in bed singing as a hazy view of the puppet Jonathan singing the same thing overlays.
As the bridge ends Jonathan lays still and teary in bed as he sings the part before the chorus.
Puppet Jonathan sings chorus as puppet band plays.
After chorus scene cuts to Jonathan in bed finishing the song.
As song ends the scene warps out.

EXT: A suburban street, night.
We open with a shot of the band set up in the middle of the street with the moon behind them.
Intercut with shots of kids(fans) asleep in their beds, to follow the rhythm of the drums.

CUT TO: Back to the band.
Jon begins to sing, as he does he looks around at the different houses as if he's singing to the kids inside asleep.
Intercut with shots of kids starting to wake up, sleepy-eyed, looking out the window from their beds to see where the music is coming from, but it is difficult to make out as the moon blinds them.
One kid gets up and walks over to the window.
As Jonathan sings "if it wasn't...for you" he looks into the camera pointing at the viewer.
As the bell ends the song, the kid looks through the curtains in his/her room...

CUT TO: The street again.
We now see the still set up equipment with the moon behind it, but the band has mysteriously vanished.
Jonathan's mic hangs by the wire from the stand, swinging.

Beg For Me

INT: As the song fades in we focus on a close-up of David's drum as he plays.
Scene intercuts with other shots of the band which will go in rhythm with the opening guitar.
As the song begins to really rock we cut to a full screen shot of the band rocking out in a black room.

As Jon sings we see little transparent ghosts flying around the room periodically ala Haunted Mansion.
They fly around in between the band and all around.
During the chorus a ghost may fly towards Jonathan as he screams the chorus at the ghost making the ghost change course, Jonathan may punch a ghost that flys towards him as well.
During the bridge we focus on Jonathan as the ghosts fly in and out of him.
As he sings "everyone just let me be!" the ghosts scatter and take flight around the room again.
At the end of the song, with every guitar strum in between Jon's last lines we see the ghosts start to faze out and then vanish.

It's Gonna Go Away

INT: A padded asylum room.
Jonathan sits in the room acting as if he's freaking out, almost like a junkie going through withdrawls.
He is wrestling with his mind as it sings back to him "it's gonna go away".
Intercut with shots of Jonathan walking around the room dazed, sitting on the floor rocking back and forth, laying on the floor crying, jumping around, etc.
General psycho things.
As the song ends we fade back away from Jon, as he sings "go away!", through the small opening in the asylum room door.

Wake Up

INT: A hospital room containg Head, Munky, Fieldy and David laying in hospital beds with all the wires connected to them.
Jonathan sits in the corner worried.
His band mates lay catatonic in a mysterious coma.
We hear the heart monitors beep for a few seconds before the song begins.
Before Jonathan sings his first line he gets up and paces nervously around the room, then he walks over to Head's bed and screams "wake the f**k up!" at him, he does this with all the band mates.

CUT TO: Jonathan sitting in the corner.
He looks around at his bandmates sadly as he sings the first verse.
Shots of the band yelling and fighting(no audio) overlap Jon singing, as the camera zooms slowly towards him stopping on a close up just before the pre chorus.
As Jon screams the pre chorus again he stands up yelling into up towards the ceiling with his arms in the air.

CUT TO: The tour bus.
Jonathan sits at a table by the window as he sings the chorus, he watches his band mates yelling at eachother and storming off the bus.
He has a disappointed look.

CUT TO: The hospital room.
Jonathan sits next to Fieldy's bed as he sings the second verse.
As he sings "no more...", we cut to another shot of him screaming "fighting!", then back to the bed again.
Again, Jonathan screams the pre chorus while stomping half angry half scared around the room.

CUT TO: Shots of the whole band fighting and aruging with eachother(no audio) as the chorus plays.
Before the chorus ends all the band mates, except Jonathan who is trying to calm the others, storm off in opposite directions.

CUT TO: Various shots of the band mates.
As the instrumental break plays we go from shot to shot of each band mate, except Jonathan.
After each guitar part we cut to another band mate.
On the first guitar we see Fieldy walking away, he turns around with a look as if he's about to scream in fear then we freeze frame and the colors turn dark yellow and the shot flashes a bit, repeat for the others.

CUT TO: Back to the hospital room.
Jonathan paces around the room, checks on each band mate, sits in the corner, etc.
He sings the chorus and we focus on a shot of him crying just as the song is about to end.

CUT TO: Overhead shot of the hospital room, fade out.

Am I Going Crazy

We open on a totally black screen as the camera spins around.
Jonathan walks on screen as the camera remains spinning, he seems to walk to follow the camera.
He is singing into the camera with a creepy look.
As he sings "and dazed", he walks off screen, then he reappears on-screen again as if he is a clone of himself and sings the next lines.
Repeat the above.
After he sings "what would it cost to escape?", we spin around to a still shot of Jonathan standing in the black room singing the "nothing is right, I'm so scared" lines and we slowly fade into a close up.
The end.

No Way

EXT: Area 51, night.
Open on a wide angle side shot of the fenced in area, there are helicopters with search lights flying around.
Switch to front wide angle shot of the fenced in area, then cut to inside the fenced in area.
We see that there are drums, bass with amps, guitar with amps and a mic stand set up in the middle of the huge ashpalt area, but there is no band yet.

CUT TO: Close up of the mic from a side shot, Jon's hand appears on screen.
He grabs the mic and the music begins.

CUT TO: Wide angle front view of the band now head banging and rocking out to the music as the helicopters fly around behind them.
Various shots of jon singing, band playing, etc.
Occasionly a spotlight from the helicopter passes over them.
During the chorus the helicopters fly right over the band causing the wind to make their hair fly back and such.
As Jon sings the next verse he looks up to the night sky as if searching for something.
Shots of the rest of the band looking upwards intercut.
Repeat chorus shot.

CUT TO: Sky over Area 51, night.
We suddenly see lights appear in the sky and begin to descend towards Area 51, it is a UFO.
We show a wide angel back view shot of the UFO flying towards the area where the band is playing.
It begins to hover over the band and slowly lower as the bridge is sung.
Suddenly a blue tractor beam emits from the UFO and showers the band with light.

CUT TO: The band.
Jonathan stares up at the UFO as he sings "I can't wait to give them these feelings I'm hating".
The band begins to dissolve and finally evaporate completely as Jon finishes "ripping at me!".

CUT TO: Inside the UFO.
We now see the band playing inside a large, smooth, round, metal room.
A tinted window cuts through the middle of the walls.
We intercut the shots of the band playing with shots from behind the glass of the shillouettes of the aliens throwing devil-horns in the air.
As the last chorus begins to end the band notices a small door in the wall slide open.
A bright white light emits from behind the door, and we see the shillouettes of some aliens behind the door.
As the song warps out, the bright white light floods the screen.

CUT TO: Overhead shot of the fenced in area with the helicopters flying around.

CUT TO: Inside the fenced in area.
We see where the band was once playing.
The mic stand still sits, as does some drum sticks and a couple effects pedals, but nothing else.

CUT TO: Underview shot of the UFO hovering over the spot as the song warps out, then quickly zooms off back into the sky as the song ends.

Let's Get This Party Started

The vampire video.

EXT: Rainy graveyard, night.
As the shot opens we see Jonathan in his long black coat walking slowly through the small, dark, rainy graveyard.
He is in slow motion, but his singing matches the song perfectly.
The video showcases Jonathan's lonley struggle of being a vampire.

During the chorus we see Jonathan going pyscho and savagely thrashing people, very gorey and bloody.

Repeat, etc, etc.

UNTOUCHABLES

Here To Stay

A Peter Pan themed video.

EXT: The sky, day.
Fluffy clouds block the camera.
The camera slowly moves through them, the clouds begin to part.
A large pirate ship is seen floating through the sky.
Music begins and the camera quickly zooms to the deck of the ship.
Fieldy, David, Munky and Head are dressed in pirate garb.
Fieldy is wearing a red bandana, a big gold earring, a baggy blue and white striped shirt, baggy, black, tattered pants that come to his knees, held up with rope, and sandals.
David is wearing a red bandana as well, a white shirt with a few holes, and red pants that resemble Fieldy's, he is also wearing a gold earring.
Head is wearing a brown vest over a dirty white shirt, an eyepatch, gold earring, black pants like Fieldy's and David's, and sandals.
Munky is wearing a patched, dirty, grey jacket, a three-cornered hat, and the same pants as the others.
David is up in the crow's nest, Fieldy is swabbing the deck, Munky is at the wheel and Head is silently playing a squeeze-box.
As the beginning music plays they sway bakc and forth in rhythm to the song.

CUT TO/INT: The Captain's room.
It is dimly lit by candles and an oil lamp.
Jonathan is the Captain Hook of the video, wearing a scarlet red cloak with lace cuffs and neck, pants to match, a white frilled cravat, knee socks, black shoes with gold buckles, gold earrings, the Captain Hook black wig, and the trademark hook.
A scarlet red three-cornered hat is sitting on a wig-head on a small wooden desk with a mirror.
Jonathan is sitting in front of the desk, looking at a map of Neverland.
He eyes it devilshly.
He begins to sing as he glances around the locations on the map.
He looks up into the mirror as the "bash it into a mirror" line is sung, then after the "bleed, bleed" line he stands up, shatters the mirror with his hook, grabs his hat and walks off screen.

CUT TO/EXT: Ship deck.
The door to Jon's room opens as the "this pain is elevating" line is sung, he puts on his hat and walks up some steps off to the side and follows them up to the wheel where he takes over.

CUT TO: Jon and the band are in the middle of the deck now for the chorus.
Jon is huddled over a small table on the deck looking at the map again, the band now has their instruments and are playing them behind Jon.
Jon looks into the camera as he sings the "this shit's gone way too far" line.
He stands up and throws his hat down on the table as he sings the "I'm not a whore" line, then looks at his hook as it gleams in the sun as he sings the "you've taken everything..." lines.

CUT TO: Jon stands at the end of the ship looking out over the sky as he sings.
Fieldy walks up to him and Jon grabs him by the shirt with his hook as he sings "take back what's mine" in his face, then tosses him out of the way and returns to the wheel.
He drags his hook through the air in front of the camera as he sings "guiding the blade down the line".
The camera zooms in steadily as he sings "bleed, bleed" and slashes at the camera with his hook and the scene "rips".

CUT TO: Jon stands over the table and the map once again, as the band goes on swabbing.
David stands at the end of the boat looking over then silently signals Jonathan over.
Jonathan runs up the steps to David and is quickly followed by the rest of the band.
David points to something o/c.
A quick scene of Neverland from the air is shown, and then cuts back to the band.
Jon looks at his hook again for the "I'm not a whore" line, puts on his hat and signals the band to land the ship.

CUT TO: Neverland, night.
The ship is seen slowly descending down towards Neverland.
Scene cuts to the ship anchored as Jonathan stands around singing the "I'm here to stay(bring it down)" lines, as the band is seen scattering around carrying gun powder kegs and explosives.
When Jonathan screams "bring it down!" he throws his arms in the air and the band begins detonating.
After each "bring it down!" we see an explosion of great magnitude.
After the last big explosion...

CUT TO: Neverland in flaming ruins.
The band plays their instruments behind the singing Jon, with his Alien mic stand, as Neverland is flaming behind them, illuminating the band eerily.

CUT TO: The band begins to climb back onto the ship as Jon looks down at a singed Peter Pan hat laying at his feet.
He smiles evily and picks it up as the song starts to end.
As the song ends the scene cuts to the ship sailing away in the night sky.
Fade to black.
The end.

Make Believe

EXT: Concert hall, night.
Marquee reads "Korn-Farewell Show".

CUT TO/INT: Empty concert hall.
Jon's alien mic stand sits alone on the empty stage.
Jonathan walks on screen from back stage and stands alone, looking at the empty seats of the just rocked hall.
Scene cuts to "Jon's eye view" of the seats as audience cheering is heard.
Song starts.
Jonathan, still alone, begins to sing to the empty room.
In between lines are somewhat "flash-back" scenes.
Shots from over the years.
Shows, signings, hanging out, etc.
When it comes to the "your life..." lines we once again see Jonathan singing alone on stage, shot from a frontal view of the whole stage.
The scene of the last Korn show that has recently taken place begins to dissolve onto the screen.
The lights begin to dim, stage lights come on, the band slowly appears, as does the audience.
The last choruses are played this way.
At the last "the shit seems to follow!" line, the scene reverts back to Jonathan singing alone on stage.
Song ends.
Jon looks around, sad but proud, the proceeds to walk off stage.
The end.

Blame (V.1)

INT/EXT: A semi sheltered, futuristic dump; night.

Scene opens on a very dark but neon lit night overlooking a strange futuristic dump with bleachers on each side, sort of like the circus in A.I..
There is lots of neon and fire, it is hot, sweaty, barabaric, and the crowd is going wild.
At the middle of the strange dump stadium is a large hill that slopes down to meet a large, grafitti covered wall.
The seats are filled with messy, disheveled people as the dump stadium itself is run and operated by large, dirty barbarians.
As the song opens we see a large, neon rimmed round cage of sorts, like a giant ball made of rusted metal being rolled violently down the hill into the wall with a smash as the fire in the stadium errupts to match the impact.
Inside the rolling cage is a puny, frightened, greasy person.

Zoom up to the top of the hill, behind the "launching area", backstage where all the victims of this horrible futuristic game run by these barbarians are held.
They are all suspended by their wrists and ankles from chains connected to the ceiling and floor, as the victims dangle in mid-air awaiting their fate.
Head, Munky, Jonathan, Fieldy and David are all hanging there as well, struggling to break free.
Focus on Jonathan as he sings the first verse.
As he sings the "tear me from your heart!" lines he begins swinging around on the chains and pulling at them, as David is taken out of his chains by a large, fat, bearded guy with a mohawk and carried kicking through the exit.
During the next verse we intercut Jonathan singing with shots of the other guys squirming in their chains.
Then repeat the above for the "tear me from your heart!" lines.

During the chorus David is seen being forced into the large, rolling cage and locked in, intercut with scenes of Jonathan singing and such. He is rolled down the hill as the audience cheers and the fires errupt, scenes from inside the cage show David screaming, as the chorus ends he slams into the wall.

Cut back to the holding area for the bridge as Jonathan sings while he watches Munky get removed from his chains and carried to the rolling cage, placed in and rolled down into the wall.
Ditto for Head.
We focus on Head rolling down the hill, where from the inside we see that he notices as large chunk of debris in the rolling cage's path that he is about to hit.
He runs right into it as he is propelled up into the air as the last line of the bridge is being sustained, we focus on the rolling cage flying through the air towards the wall in slow motion.
We resume normal speed just as the rolling cage hits the wall.

As the next two repeats of the chorus are played we see Fieldy getting dragged away, forced into the rolling cage and rolled into the wall.
You can feel the intensity of the crowd and the harshness of the environment as the song nears an end.
At the last repeat of the chorus, Jonathan is finally forced into his rolling cage and rolled violently down the hill towards the wall.
Intercut with inside the rolling cage shots of Jonathan singing, song ends right as he slams into the wall as the fires errupt and the crowd cheers loudly.

The end.

Blame (V.2)

INT: A large greyish room, like a practice room.
We open on a close up of a shrunken man in a glass jar which sits on a small table off to the right.
He looks around in the jar; panicked.
The band jams away.
Jon looks over at the jar as he sings "so I think you are a fool".
As he sings "tear me from your heart!", the jar on the table vibrates and rattles, slowly moving across the table slightly.
After the second "tearing me apart!", the jar vibrates off the edge of the table.
We focus on a shot of the jar tumbling off the table in slow-mo.
It hits the ground and begins to roll in Head's direction as the chorus plays.
The jar rolls around between everyone's feet before hitting Head's foot and coming to a stop just as the bass solo plays.
Head picks up the jar and places it on top of his amps, which are stacked quite high.
As the bridge is sung, we intercut shots of the band with shots of the man in the jar pounding on the glass and the jar slowly inching towards the edge of the amps.
He finally pushes it over the brink as we hear "and you're to blame!", the jar falls in slow-mo as "blame!" sustaines, before finally hitting the ground and shattering the jar.
The man gets up and begins to run around in between the band, dodging feet and jumping over wires.
First, Fieldy sees him and tries to stomp him, but he quickly darts out of the way.
David looks over his drum kit as he watches the tiny man running.
The man runs towards Munky, but as he realizes Munky has spotted him, he runs in the opposite direction towards Jon.
Jon bends down and picks up the tiny man by his shirt.
As the song ends, we focus on Jon holding up the tiny man as he dangles in the air.
Jonathan shakes his finger at him as the song ends.
The end.

*Note: This treatment was inspired by a short story written by Riki called Mark Slept.

Hollow Life

EXT: A "rustic" old house, dusk.
It is raining heavily, lightning strikes occasionally.
Zoom in to a second floor window where we see Jonathan sitting and looking out at the rain.

CUT TO/INT: The room where Jonathan is sitting.
It appears to be a child's room, perhaps Jonathan's child hood home?
Jonathan sits on a trunk by the window as he looks out, rain trickling down the window.
The whole video is very dark and gloomy.
The room, though in full color, seems dimmed in the rainy evening light, and faded.
Jonathan wears a black long sleeve shirt, black pants and black shoes.
He leans his head against the window looking quite melancholly.
He begins to sing.
Just before the chorus, Jonathan uses his finger to draw a small un-happy face in the dew on the window.
Zoom in quickly on the face.

FADE/EXT: In a large field just in front of the house.
Jonathan and the band are now playing in the heavy rain.
Jonathan is now looking quite angry as he sings, there is no mic.
As the last line of "hollow life" echos out, we zoom in on a rain drop and follow it as it seems to fall towards the singing Jonathan below, but it quickly fades.

FADE/INT: The rain drop now splashes on the window sill just outside the window of Jonathan's room, where he is still sitting and looking out at the rain.
As the line "the ground below me calls" is sung, Jonathan looks out the window at what appears to be a boy standing in the rain looking up at him.
Jonathan puts his hand against the window, and the boy outside raises his hand up to match Jonathan's.
As the "falling all this time" line passes, the boy suddenly disappears.

CUT TO/EXT: Back to the field for the second part of the chorus and the bridge.
The scene is intercut with scenes of Jonathan walking in slow pace through the house.
As he walks he occasionally sees the boy and his family doing things throughout the house and then disappearing.
The idea being that since Jonathan is in his childhood home that he is seeing images of his childhood in the house, and then suddenly disappearing.
The boy is Jonathan.

CUT TO/INT: Jonathan now reaches the living room as he sings the "we fall in space" lines.
He looks around, and notices a grandfather clock in the corner.
He looks all around the living room and then turns to the camera with an angry look as the "we fall down" line finishes.
Suddenly, Jonathan begins to trash the living room during the chorus.
Knocking over the clock, smashing the TV, throwing furniture cushions, etc.

CUT OT/EXT: The field again for the bridge.
As Jonathan sings the "why we look to the sky" line he looks up at the black, rainy sky.
The Jon's-eye-view shot shows a streak of lightning.
As the "we fall in space" line at the end of the song comes up, Jonathan stops singing and looks up in the rain towards the window he was recently at.
In the window stands the boy staring at Jonathan.
Cut back to Jonathan with a peaceful look on his face.
The end.

Thoughtless

The zoot suit mob video.

INT: A dark office lit only by a small desk lamp.
It's a large oak desk, big leather chair, the works.
From the darkness behind the desk are two zoot suit clad legs resting up on the desk.
A hand throwing darts at a picture of "the enemy" on the office door is also seen.
Jonathan begins to sing the first verse as he chucks darts at the picture.
As the darts run out, the door burst open and Fieldy, Head, Munky and David all decked out in zoot suits enter the office carrying a very nervous, sweaty guy by his arms.
It is "the enemy".
As the verse before the chorus is heard, the figure in the darkness sits up into the light, it is Jonathan.
He reaches over the desk and grabs "the enemy" by his jacket and sings in his face, he throws him back into the grasp of the band as the chorus comes up.
Jon begins to follow the band out of the office as they drag the guy out.

CUT TO/EXT: Outside the office building, night.
It is damp outside, and the guys drag the squirming enemy towards two "gangster" cars in great condition.
Jonathan follows close behind.
Scene is shot as if the camera is perched on top of a building to the right of the office, overlooking the parking lot.
They throw "the enemy" in the back of Jon's car, Jon gets in the back with him.
Fieldy and Munky get in the front, Head and David take the other car.
The cars drive away.

CUT TO/INT: Jon's car.
Jonathan sits next to "the enemy" in the back, Jon is calm but "the enemy" fidgits with fear.
Jonathan wears a trenchcoat over his zoot suit, gloves and is carrying a cane.
"The Enemy" wears duct tape around his hand and around his mouth.
Jonathan sits in the back watching "the enemy" squirm, while singing the 3rd verse to him.
Fieldy is at the wheel, Munky rides shotgun.
Munky is constantly looking over his shoulder in the back seat to snarl at "the enemy", Fieldy snarls in the rearview mirror.
Scene occasionally cuts to Head and David in the car behind them.

CUT TO/EXT: Pier, night.
Jon and the band stand at the Pier with "the enemy".
Jonathan signals the band to "close the deal" as the verse before the chorus plays.
As the chorus plays scenes flash of "the enemy" getting his feet cemented and a burlap sack placed over his head.
After the chorus ends, the band dumps "the enemy" over the Pier into the river with a splash just as the bridge plays.

CUT TO: Underwater.
As the bridge hits, "the enemy" falls into the river, and begins to sink in slow motion.
The scene is shot from and under view.

CUT TO/EXT: Back to the Pier.
As the post bridge part plays, three of "the enemy" cars come speeding into view and open firing on Jon and the band with tommy guns.
Jon and the band get back into their cars and the car shoot out to end all car shoot outs takes place through the whole end of the song.
Cars flying around turns, bullets everywhere, etc.
As the song is about to end, "the enemy" cars fail at a dangerous turn and go flying over the railing into the river below with a huge splash as the song ends.
The end.

One More Time

A black screen is all that is seen as the music begins.
A couple puzzle pieces stratigically fall from off screen, fit together, and then go flying back.
It does this a few times, then a bunch of pieces fly at the screen and form an almost complete picture of Jonathan's face.
There are alot of pieces missing, but you know it's him.
As he sings, the puzzle pieces are constantly shifting to follow his movments.
For the pre-chorus the whole screen is full of puzzle pieces, creating the complete Jonathan head.
As the chorus hits, the camera swings down to reveal Jon and the band playing all together against a black background.
Occasionally puzzle pieces come together on the background and fly away.
Occasional close ups on the band members shows parts of them replaced with random moving puzzle pieces.
After the chorus, the camera swings back up to the puzzle Jon face.
For the bridge, later on, the camera swings down to reveal Jon standing by himself singing to the camera, as he sings the last line of the bridge he spreads his arms out as millions of puzzle pieces fall from above and bury him.
Then we cut back to the chorus, filmed the way it was before.
As Jonathan sings the repeated "one more time"s, the camera swings back up to the puzzle Jon face as he sings.
The pieces come together as he sings a part, then fly away, and come back for the next part.
The all fly away at the end of the song and we focus on the black screen for a second.
Then pieces come back to take up the whole screen as they spell out "Korn-One More Time".
The end.

Alone I Break

Open on an angelic white screen.
As the music begins, the white fades into a close up of Jonathan's eyes.
Pan back slowly to reveal Jonathan in full form, he is wearing a long black trench coat and fingerless gloves.
He stands in the middle of a city street; the city around him is broken and chaotic.
The video is almost entirely in semi slow-mo.
He begins to walk down the street; old abandoned buildings are covered with graffiti, as are discarded cars.
There are turned over shopping carts, chunks of rubble and brick scatter the street, some things lay in the road on fire.
People run past Jonathan in panic as he looks around, occasionally someone bumps into Jonathan shoulders.
Jonathan looks down an alley where Munky sits as a homeless man, he looks sad.
Head and Fieldy ride past Jonathan in a lowrider, he looks at them as they point at him laughing.
David runs towards Jonathan bumping into his shoulder leaving a blood smear on his coat.
As David bumps into Jonathan, a shot from the ground shows a few feathers fall out of the bottom of Jonathan's trench coat into a puddle at his feet.
As the bridge is sung, Jonathan stops and looks around at the distraught city.
He begins to remove the trench coat; shots from behind Jonathan show some white objects poking out as he removes the coat.
When the coat is completely off we now see that the strange white objects are in fact large angel wings.
The panicky people running through the streets slowly begin to stop running as they stand and stare in Jonathan's direction.
Jonathan holds his arms out in a crucifix pose and spreads his wings; a close up of his eyes again now shows a tear run down his cheek.
A blinding white light begins to surround Jonathan, various shots of the once frightened people as they look on in awe and joy.
The light seems to spread more and more from Jonathan, at this time Jonathan's purpose is revealed.
He is an Angel of Death, not a dark type of Grim Reaper, but an angel who is saddened by his duties.
He has been sent to take the people with him to Heaven, and it makes him sad to take them from everything, even though he knows this is what is meant to be.
The white light finally engulfs the screen, Jonathan, people and all, fading into the same white as in the beginning of the video, as the song ends.

Embrace

INT: A dark, square room with just enough soft, blue-ish lighting to illuminate the band members.
The camera shoots from an overhead downward angle, like a close-up security camera.
We see whoever starts the intro standing in the room first, playing the intro while looking into the camera(most likely Munky).
The scenes will cut back and forth to the other band mates "rocking out" as the song starts.
When it comes to the first verse, Jonathan will be singing into the camera.
The scene will freeze-frame for a second after each line.
During the "lies, hurt, pain, hate" lines we first see Jon singing it into the camera with the same freeze effect.
For the second line it cuts back and forth to the rest of the band with the freeze.
For the third line the scene shows Jon taking freeze-frame right-left swings at the camera.
The "really can't f**k with me" lines are filmed in fast motion with no freeze.
For the chorus there is no freeze-frame.
We now see each band member doing there own thing.
Singing, playing, drumming, etc.
This will basically carry on through the whole video.
At the end of the song we see the whole band playing together in the room.
Once the song hits it's last note, Jon knocks down the camera.
As the camera lays on it's side we see the feet of the band walking away.
The end.

Beat It Upright

EXT: Hollywood/nighttime.
Some "hos" stand on a street corner looking for business.
A long white limo with neon trimmed license plates that read "Pimp" on the front and "Daddy" on the back and gold rimmed tires pulls up next to them as the intro starts, they enter.
Inside is all black velvet with leather seats, it is crawling with strippers, hookers, bitches, hos, etc.
Jonathan is dressed up as a twisted Super Fly.
Green and magenta fur coat with pinstripe suit to match.
Green fur hat with magenta band and a peacock feather.
Big white sunglasses with diamonds in them and a black, twisted pimp cane with a gold skull on top.
Jon acts all cool and smooth occasionally running his hands over the ass of a passing ho.
Jonathan smacks a girl's ass as he sings the first "ass up high" line.
Eventually the limo pulls up to a swank hotel and Jon the pimp and the hos exit and proceed to enter the hotel.

CUT TO/INT: a hotel room with Jon done up in bondage gear hanging from a suspension harness singing to the camera with a somewhat worried look while a ho in a bikini beats his ass during the "I'm ready for a good flogging" part of song.
As the song changes to the "we're going on a ride" lines, we see Jon and the ho wrestling around and chasing eachother around the room in fast motion(alot like the scene in Clockwork Orange).

CUT TO: Jonathan stands in the hotel bathroom doorway for the third verse of the song.
He is wearing chaps with a single gun holster over his crotch, tighty whities and a leopard skin cowboy hat.
A can of whipcream rests in the gun holster.
The scene is shot as a "ho's view" shot, menaing the camera is shooting from between her spread legs, which we see on the sides of the screen. Jon is singing to the camera attempting to act "sexy".

CUT TO: Full view of the room.
Jon and the ho are once again wrestling and chasing in fast motion for the "ass up high" line again, but now whipcream is being sprayed everywhere.
There is some dry humping.
The scene reverts back to normal speed as Jon lays on the bed staring up at the ceiling(overhead shot) covered in whipcream as he sings the last "beat it up right" line.

CUT TO/INT: A shot of the elevator, doors open and Jon exits, he is back in his pimp gear.
The camera follows close as he exits through the lobby and gets back in the limo as the song fades out.
Limo drives away.
The end.

Wake Up Hate

The whole video is entirely black.
As the opening music begins to fade in we notice band member shaped neon lights start flickering onto camera.
The entire background and everything in the video is black, except for the band.
The band are all just neon outlines of themselves playing.
Jumping around, rocking, etc.
No mouth, eyes, nose or any features can be seen, only their body outline.
Each member is a different color of neon.
Jonathan is red, Head is green, Munky is blue, Fieldy is orange and David is yellow.
As the song ends the neon quickly fades out to black.

I'm Hiding

EXT: Earth, day.
Open with shot of the sun over the city as the music begins, quickly begin to zoom up towards the sun.
Zooming faster and faster until we leave Earth and reach space.

CUT TO/EXT: Surface of the sun in space.
The sun is hot and fiery, but the flames move slowly across the surface.
Smack in the middle of the sun is the band.
During the mellow part of the intro music we focus on a satellite that is orbiting around the sun, it alternates as a camera, which is filming the band.
Occasionally we see shots from the satellite's view.

We cut to Jonathan singing, he is sweating and out of breath.
Intercut with shots of the rest of the guys hot and sweating with looks of heat exhaustion on their faces.
As the harder part of the music between verses is played the fire of the sun flares up, but resumes as the tempo does.

In between the mellow parts of the music, members of the band wipe sweat away.

Repeat for second verse.

As the chorus begins we focus on Head's shoe, he starts to walk away as strings of melted shoe rubber stretch out as he moves his foot.

Sun fire is blazing as the chorus is played; the camera satellite often swivels out of the way of huge flames.

Cut to side view of the band on the sun for the second half of the song.
The starry sky is seen in the background.
A shooting star flies by as Jonathan sings "soon, I'll fade away".

Cut to Jonathan singing the pre-chorus while looking at Earth.

Sun fire blazes and explodes as the chorus is played again.

Intercut shot of Fieldy playing as the camera satellite zooms in for a closer shot of him; he hits a hard note, which sends the satellite zooming back.
Shot of Munky playing, focus on his guitar strings as they begin to turn red and burn his hand.
He stops playing for a sec to shake his hand is pain.
Shot of David's cymbals turning red as well, as he hits them his sticks catch on fire.
As the song is about to end, we follow a drop on Jonathan's sweat as it falls and hits his mic stand, where it evaporates and steams.

As the music winds down we show a reverse shot of the Earth-to-the-sun scene from the opening.

The end.

No One's There (v. 1)

The Medieval Times video.

EXT: Jousting tournament/medieval period, day.
As the music fades in we open with an out of focus shot of a knight on his horse carrying a joust, riding toward the camera.
As he gets closer he becomes more in focus.

CUT TO: Wide view of the joust.
As the music crashes the knight shatters a lance as he rams into the opposite knight.

CUT TO: Wide view, slow zoom.
We slowly begin to zoom in on King Jonathan(and his queen Deven), in between shots of the cheering crowd and the joust.
Jonathan sits watching the tournament with a bored look on his face, a look of almost utter depression.
Queen Deven looks quite snooty.
Focus solely on Jonathan as he sings the pre-chorus.

CUT TO: Parade in old English town, day.
Jonathan and the queen ride on horses down the street as a huge crowd is formed on either side, cheering.
Squires walk in front carrying flags and banners.
Head, Munky, Fieldy and David are the royal band following close by as well.
Jonathan looks out over the crowd with his depressed look as he sings the chorus.

CUT TO: The kingdom, day.
Jonathan and the queen walk down a long corridor of a huge, stone castle.
There are stained glass windows and banners hanging on the walls.
Jonathan sings the second verse.
As the second verse nears end, Jon and the queen turn towards an open window and walk out onto a large balcony overlooking the huge crowd.

CUT TO: Balcony, day.
Jonathan looks around the crowd as he sings the pre chorus, then he and the queen bow as the crowd goes wild.
They wave and pretend to smile as the chorus plays.

CUT TO: King Jon's bedroom, night.
King Jon's room has a huge four-poster bed with two windows on either side, a chest in the corner and a desk by the large wooden door.
Jonathan lays in bed in his long white button down nightshirt, tossing and turning with angst as he sings the bridge.
Intercut with shots of the queen in another bedroom.
The bedroom of an assassin.
She is in bed with the assassin, naked, but the blankets cover anything x-rated.
There is rough sex happening, obviously.
These shots flash back and forth between Jon's ranting during the bridge.
As the bridge nears end we see a wide view of the queen sitting on the bed, covered up.
The assassin stands in front of her, she hands him a bag of florins with an evil smirk.

CUT TO: The banquet hall, the next day.
We start from the very end of the hall.
People are laughing and eating and drinking on either side.
At the far end we see the head table where King Jon and the queen sit.
In the middle of the floor is the entertainment: jesters and a fire breather.
In the corner by the head table is the band(Head, Munky, etc.)
We start on a slow motion zoom towards the head table.
As we get closer to the fire breather, we hear the cymbal crash in the song, and we burst of flame shoots in front of the camera.
Jonathan sits still depressed as ever, bored with his life as royalty.
The queen looks as snooty and mean as usual.
We reach the head table just as the chorus begins again.
Jonathan looks around the banquet hall as he sings.
He looks over at the queen as he sings "all these greedy people".
As he looks away, we see the queen nod at the assassin mixed in with the people.
As the chorus is repeated again Jonathan stands up with his goblet to make a toast as he sings.
As the last line of the chorus is sung, the assassin jumps in frame behind the king with a knife and strikes, killing Jon.
The people freak, the queen acts concerned.

CUT TO: Overhead shot of King Jon lying dead at the head table as the people gather around him.
The assassin has fled.
We zoom away as we finally see a serene look on Jon's face.

The end.

B-Sides/Rarities

Sleepy Hollow

This is a Deadsy song, but it features Jonathan on guest vocals.

EXT: A foggy, London-esque graveyard.
The band is set up near some big, gloomy trees.
There are headstones all around.
An old fashioned mic hangs from the trees, swining slowly in the breeze.
Jonathan appears from behind the fog, and slowly walks towards the mic.
He grabs the mic and begins to sing.
He is dressed in long, black clothing.
There are stars shining brightly above.
Towards the end of the song, Elijah steps out from behind a tree(or a large headstone) and begins to sing along with Jon.
Jon looks into the camera as he sings "evil in my mind".
Everyone stands still in their place as the mic continues swaying in the breeze.
The end.

Love on the Cocks

INT: A very Hef-esque room, dimly lit.
Jonathan sits in a burgandy velvet chair, with a robe to match, in front of a roaring fireplace.
There is a small table next to him where an empty brandy glass sits.
As he sings "pour me a drink, bitch", Deven walks on-screen in a slutty french maid costume and pours said drink.
CUT TO: The bookshelf.
Jon stands in front of the bookshelf behind the chair and idly flips through a book(probably Gone With The Wind) as he sings the second verse.
He closes it and puts it back on the shelf.
CUT TO/INT: A large, white room full of pink velvet pillows.
Jonathan stands with his back against the wall of the white room in a long black coat and gloves, he has his hands out in front of him resting on a black cane.
In the middle of the room are the pink velvet pillows.
Deven and numerous other women of porn clamor around eachother and roll around with big dildos in slow motion as the chorus plays.
CUT TO/EXT: A gloomy, overcast park.
Jonathan walks alone, still in the black coat/gloves/cane combo, through the grey skyed park.
Leaves fall from the trees, and it is mildly windy as he sings the 3rd verse.
He looks up as the sun peaks through the clouds momentarily as he sings "may be blue skies above", then the clouds swallow it up again.
CUT TO: The same park, only darker and windier.
Jonathan stands, arms spread, in the middle of the park as the wind rages all around and lightning strikes for the chorus, intercut with shots of the white room again.
CUT TO/INT: Back to the Hef room.
As Jon sings "pour me a drink, bitch" again, Deven walks on-screen in the same costume only now she wears a ball gag and studded wrist bands.
Jon picks up the brandy glass and sings the last line before chugging it down.
The end.

Back to Top

I don't know why I'm so fucking cold, I don't know why it hurts me. All I wanna do is get with you, and make the pain go away. Why do I have a conscience? All it does is fuck with me. Why do I have this torment? All I wanna do is fuck it away. I tell my lies and I despise every second I'm with you! So I run away and you still stay, so what the fuck is with you?!?
