Influence on other artists
Creating an "inventive fusion of death metal, hip hop, goth and electronica" (described as such by a Kerrang! interviewer), over the years Korn has influenced a number of artists, including:
Limp Bizkit - Vocalist Fred Durst has cited lead singer Jonathan Davis as a major inspiration.
Evanescence - Vocalist Amy Lee cited Untouchables as one of her all-time favorite albums.[44] Evanescence played a cover of "Thoughtless" during their live performances through 2004. The cover is featured on Evanescence's 2004 live CD/DVD Anywhere But Home. Lee joined Korn and sang duet with Jonathan Davis in an unplugged rendition of "Freak on a Leash", which is featured on MTV Unplugged: Korn.
Slipknot - Guitarists Mick Thomson and Jim Root play down-tuned guitars directly influenced by Munky and Head. Slipknot members have stated that their debut album, Slipknot, was directly influenced by Korn. Joey Jordison stated that he created the Slipknot logo based on Korn's.[45].
Staind - Frontman Aaron Lewis cited the band's eponymous album and Jonathan Davis' emotional attitude as one of his biggest influences.[46]
