"Blind" is a song by American nu metal band Korn for their self-titled debut album. It was released as the album's first single in August 1994.

Music and structure

"Blind" had been written while Jonathan Davis was in Sexart before he left the band to join Korn.[4]

Korn's contribution came once they re-recorded the song for their debut album LP 1994. Even though the song was completed by Sexart, Korn added an extended song intro (which is a faster interpolation of the drum intro to Too Many Puppies by Primus), utilizing drum cymbals, and added a small Bass-Line. Their addition acted as an intro that led into the original intro composed by Sexart. Also, Korn applied a small musical change away from Sexart's version, which landed under the vocal chorus "I'm so blind" lyric, a change that did not occur until the Korn LP was recorded. SexArt's original music piece was present on Korn's demo Neidermayer's Mind[5] 1993. Korn also tailored the song ending, being the bass coda at the end of the song quotes Cypress Hill's song "Lick a Shot". The ending, technically, had nothing to do with the actual song itself. Jonathan Davis and his music group Korn utilized this song on the album without crediting the original songwriters Dennis Shinn, and or Ryan Shuck. However, both Dennis Shinn and Ryan Shuck were later credited on the Greatest Hits Vol.1 compilation album.

Release and reception

The song was released as a promotional single in the United States, Canada and Australia, and as a limited edition 10" vinyl single in the United Kingdom. It charted on the Canadian alternative chart, the RPM Alternative 30, in November 1995, peaking at number 15.[10]

"Blind" is widely considered to be one of the band's best songs. In 2019, Loudwire ranked the song number three on their list of the 50 greatest Korn songs,[11] and in 2021, Kerrang ranked the song number one on their list of the 20 greatest Korn songs.[12] In March 2023, Rolling Stone ranked "Blind" at number 67 on their "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time" list.[13]

Live performance

"Blind" is a signature song of Korn as well as a fan favorite song. It's usually performed as their concert opener or show closer.

After departing from Korn in 2005, guitarist Brian "Head" Welch had also covered the song live

Davis invited Brian "Head" Welch to join Korn on stage and perform the song in Carolina Rebellion in Rockingham, North Carolina, This was Welch's first performance with Korn since his departure.[15] Since then, Welch had rejoined Korn.

Recently, at shows such as the Download Festival, the song has opened the show as a new mix, with a much shorter intro.

Korn played their first 20th Anniversary concert in March 2015, marking the first time several songs off their debut 1994 self-titled "Korn" LP had been performed live in years, including "Daddy," "Predictable" and "Shoots and Ladders."[16]

Music video

The music video was directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol, who was a friend of the band's discoverer Paul Pontius, and financed the production out of his own pocket.[17] Korn is seen performing in front of an energetic crowd in a small stage room. A large "Korn" flag can be seen on the back of the stage. There are also clips of the band hanging out. The video was released in January 1995.

Demo version

The first version of this song had been recorded on the band's demo tape entitled Neidermeyer's Mind, released in 1993. There is a slight difference between these versions, as the primal version had a more heavy-metal atmosphere, and the version that appeared on band's debut album featured a hip-hop stylized bridge.
