Got the Life
Korn's syncopated funk-metal anthem — a staccato, palm-muted low-A groove that's as much percussion as riff. Munky and Head played modified Ibanez Universe 7-strings (not the K7, which arrived in 2001) in A-standard (A-D-G-C-F-A-D) into Mesa/Boogie Rectifiers, mids scooped to near zero so every muted hit reads as a thud rather than a chord. From Follow the Leader (1998), tracked at NRG Recording and mixed by Brendan O'Brien.
