"Freak on a Leash"is a song by the Americannu metalbandKorn,featured on the group's 1998 studio album,Follow the Leader.AfterFollow the Leader's release, the song was released as a single on February 25, 1999, and since then, it has been re-released over ten times. The song uses dissonance, distortion, various guitar effects, and a heavy, aggressive style.[7]
The "Freak on a Leash" music video was released on February 5, 1999. Directed byTodd McFarlaneinLos Angeles,California,the video explores both animations and live performances mixed together. As a result, the band released a music video that won six awards and was retired fromTotal Request Live.The single peaked at number six on theAlternative Songschart, 10 on theMainstream Rock Songschart, and 24 on theUK Singles Chart.
Origins
[edit]Following the release ofFollow the Leader,Korn promoted the studio album by headlining theFamily Values Tourin 1998. The tour ran from September 22 until October 31. "Freak on a Leash" was the first song played on their first tour date. The original composition had a "noisy guitar break in the middle," but, after the group found out that radio stations are not fond of "noisy guitar breaks," they voted 4–1 to remove the break, withJonathan Davisbeing the lone holdout. The band described the break as "theBiohazardpart. "[8]
GuitaristBrian "Head" Welchsaid that the song "was about Jonathan Davis being a freak on a leash—sort of a kinkydominatrixthing. "[9]Leah Furman said that the song "revolved around the mixed blessings of fame";[10]Davis confirmed in a track-by-track breakdown that the song "rails out against the music industry. It's about how I feel like I'm a fuckin' prostitute".[11]
"Freak on a Leash" was written in 1997 and recorded in May 1998 at NRG Recording Studios inNorth Hollywood, California.[12][13]It was released as their second single, on May 25, 1999, and is considered to be one of their most successful singles.[citation needed]Since its first release in the United Kingdom, it has been released over ten times. It was released in the United Kingdom three times,[14][15][16]twice in Mexico and Australia,[17][18]once in Germany,[19]once in France,[20]once in the United States,[21]and once in Switzerland.[22]
Composition
[edit]"Freak on a Leash" is four minutes and 15 seconds long.[23]The song uses dissonance,distortion,and various effects to bring the song "to life."[24]David Lloyd from theUniversity of Albertasaid that the song was an example of a "nonsense-utterance"technique used by lead vocalist Jonathan Davis. Lloyd also noted that the song contained" fragments of English-language words, "and said that they" can be perceived in the midst of Davis' gibberish ". Lloyd went on to say that" Davis is giving voice to his inner basic feelings which are trying to resist being shaped or conditioned by utterances of others. "[25] It expresses moods such as anger, drama, and sarcasm.[26]
An acoustic rendition of the song was recorded with Jonathan Davis singing a duet withAmy LeeofEvanescence,atMTVstudios inTimes Square,New York Cityfor Korn'sacoustic seton December 9, 2006.[27]
Music video

A music video for "Freak on a Leash" was released on February 5, 1999, and debuted onTotal Request Live.[28]It was directed by Todd McFarlane who was assisted byJonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.The music video contains a mixture of animation and live performance footage.[29]Although it was expected to be released in January 1999, it was pushed back to February 1999. The video starts with an animated segment directed by McFarlane, where the children (including a cameo appearance of Korn as some of the children) playing hopscotch on a cliff the artist drew for theFollow the Leadercover are interrupted by a policeman. An accidentally-fired bullet from the policeman's gun breaks out of the animated world into the real world and wreaks much property damage while narrowly avoiding hitting people. The bullet then enters a Korn poster exactly at the break in the middle of the song and flies around the band members before Jonathan Davis shouts "Let’s go!", signaling the end of the break, to send the bullet back the way it came until it returns to the animated world. Once back in the animated world, the girl in red (also from the album cover) catches the bullet and gives it to the policeman. The policeman stares at his hands bewildered as the camera then focuses on the loose "No Trespassing" sign; which then leads up to the follow-up video for "Falling Away from Me"featured on the band's then next albumIssues.The directory work was described as combining "special effects and clever camera moves in the live action portion of the video."[28]
The video won awards forBest EditingandBest Rock Videoat the1999 MTV Video Music Awards,[30][31][32]and later received theGrammy Award for Best Short Form Music Videoin 2000. It became the ninth video that was retired fromTotal Request Liveon May 11, 1999.[33]The music video was also featured onDeuce.[34]
As of March 20, 2024 the song has over 309 million views onYouTube.
