Korn - Freak on a Leash

Music Appreciation

American nu metal band Korn's Freak on a Leash was released on May 25, 1999.

Canadian cartoonist Todd McFarlane directed the music video. And if you are my age, you probably recognize the name Todd McFarlane from his comic book series Spawn.

The music video, which received a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video, blends both animations and live performances.

The music video starts in a comic-world with a security guard chasing a group of kids who trespass through a secured area to play hopscotch on an edge. As the security guard trips, his gun is released from his hand, and a bullet is fired towards a girl playing hopscotch. The bullet travels past her and through a wall into a real-world. The bullet becomes somewhat magical as it damages several things and at one point hovers around the band members (Jonathan Davis, Munky Shaffer, Head Welch, Fieldy Arvizu, and David Silveria) before returning to the comic-world where the little girl grabs the bullet and hands it to the security guard.
