Korn "Freak On a Leash"

Korn rides a peculiar line between being quite mainstream while still being fun and weird.

The band's third album was an overnight commercial success, ushering in the age of nu metal, a blend of rap and metal., which would include bands like Limp Bizkit and Slipknot.

"Freak On a Leash" would see extremely high rotation on MTV, which helped fashion the pseudo-genre by elevating bands that otherwise languished on college radio.

The video got art direction from Todd McFarlane, who was best known for drawing comic series like Spider-Man, Spawn, and Incredible Hulk. It also won a Grammy.
