I think ppl think that his dad raped him is a common mistake mainly cause of the title. I don't know the whole story or meaning behind the song but I don't wanna know, I wanna keep that mystery aspect behind an already powerful song.
@masjt nobody knows who really did it some say his dad,a neighbor,family friend, and his step mom the only people who really know is jon and the pice of shit who did this to him
@MrJonnyboy221 Jonathan and his FATHER HAVE A GREAT RELEATIONSHIP! Daddy is a reference to "Taking control over someone" he wasn't trying to say his DAD Raped him!!!!!
@gummoboy333 first of all if you are going to comment about my comment you should read it right i never said that jon's dad raped him i said people say that
@MrJonnyboy221 John and Rick (Rick is John's dad) both said it wasn't Rick, It was a close family friend or a family member, that much is true but I think he named that song "daddy" because the person (the piece of shit rapist) was "like" a father to John and then did the worst thing imaginable to John, and also not too many people know this but in an old interview John and Rick said they wouldn't say who it was but they both said it was a woman.
@MrJonnyboy221 He has said himself what happened. It was his neighbor. He told his parents and they didnt believe him, they thought he was joking around and lying trying to get attention. What happens beyond that knowledge no-one knows ... we dont know .. if his dad beat him or anything we just know .. that he tried to get help from his parents about the matter and they wouldnt.
i hate that people talk shit about jon because of what happened 2 him and that he wrote this song especially for that reason. fuckin assholes, go piss somebody else off
you obviously don't know jonathan then because he doesn't fake it. he was sexually abused (by his neighbor not by his dad) for years and this song is called daddy because whenever he would try to tell his parents about what was going on they wouldn't believe him and so he had to live with this horrible secret for years and this song is getting all of that pain out. they don't perform daddy except for these early times because he can't take reliving that pain over and over again.
@akemoguy Oh comeon do you really think they were trying to make money? everyone has a friend who has been in a situation like jon this is something that happens way too often, pedophiles everywhere you can see it on the NEWS everynight! korns tackling issues that no band really ever has, respect it or go watch othere videos!
@gummoboy333 yeah, i actually do think its about money, a new dubstep album with skrillex, mmmhmm, or him insulting his old fans by saying there stuck in 1994, mhmmmmm, oh yes making music to rave too is tackling issues no band has ever dealt with never in the history of music, omg korn is fuckin god.
@akemoguy yeah well the insulting the fans was going a bit too far( But have you ever read some of the comments people leave on sites like Blabbermouth about korn?) its so juvenile its crazy...so I can respect his choice to slam the fans who are just stuck on the first few albums and basically have been calling korn posers and worthless since 1996!I think when JD said that he just meant those fans...and also im not really into the whole dubstep thing either...but they took a chance!
I bought Korn's debut when I was about 10 or 11... One of the first records I bought with my own money. I loved every single song on that album, and when this song came in at the end, I was fucking speechless. I've listened to some pretty disturbing music in my time since, [Pornogrind, Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, etc.] But this song still gives me the fucking chills. Anyone who can't see the pure art and emotion in this song is a fucking asshole.
@MrsNaranja Yea. On the album version he breaks down and cries... for real. And theyve only played this song live a handful of time, and each time Jon cant handle it and loses is crying. Its too emotional of a song for him.
@chumsyalibumsy09 Thank you for your anserw but i was asking more about what was happened on the end of this video,because of bad quaility of this move i can't see anything ; It looks like John is sitting on the floor and crying and people started to whistle and screaming.
People seem to b confused as to what happened to Jd when he was a child. No man, not his dad, or any man, raped him. He ws molested as a child, by a woman who was a friend of the family. When Jd tried to tell his family, no one listened. Jd has gone on the record many times saying that his dad never touched him. His dad now knows who it was, but he and Jd are refusing to say who. If anyone thinks I am wrong, look it up. Read Jd's biography.
@kittydance8 I hate rumors about celebs. That's why I try not to believe things I hear, unless I hear it come straight from the celeb's mouth, or I know for sure I'm reading a legit interview, ya know? What happened to Jon is fucked the hell up. I can't even listen to this song without getting teary eyed. I haven't heard it in ten years.
but i have this cd that my father had for a long time that has the intro to the song daddy, then it turns to shoots and ladders... does anyone know the date and place of this??
Since this was in 1993, it was the demo version from Neidermeyer's Mind. It's not the official song. After JD recorded the actual song, it was too emotional for him to perform live.
Funny, all claim to be the one and only performance of this song as lead by lore, but there is 3 of these recorded in 93. Some seem the same, but who knows. I wish this was put up with DVD quality. I'd love to have it. GREATEST. BAND. EVER. Change music more than Nirvana ever did.
@DEATHMETALLLFREAK crying does not determine your sexuality nor does it make you an emo (emo on todays terms of what emo is). If you think Korn is a disgrace to metal why are you on a video of theirs? Fucking stupid ass troll. Get a better life. I hate Korn now because IMO they suck, but their first 4 albums were great.
@DEATHMETALLLFREAK He got raped you inconsiderate prick. He was a child and got raped by a family friend. Learn the fucking facts before you go running your mouth.
I got the first album around 96 and it was definitly the sickest shit I've ever heard before but this song..man raped my mind I've never heard something like this before and you'll never find anything like that again.Korn 4ever
poor jon. i cried the first time i listened to this song. but if he ddnt go through all the b.s that he went through, then there woold be no real jonathan davis. no KoRn. nothing to learn from. thank you jon for beein who you are, and having the heart that you do. iv learned so many life lessons from you. i wooldnt be alive today if it wast for you. so thank you for beein you.
@ToOlOGT22 cause when you dont know about sex or are to young to have sex you dont have sex, and you wait till you are ready! I kinda understand what your saying cause from a guys perspective its different, but if a guy trys to get with a 10 yr old girl they get the dicks cut off, go figure lol!
@Delorean997 His father didn't do it... He was molested by a family friend, that was a woman... I am not sure how the songs lyrics pertain to that... but he has publicly said, on multiple occasions, that he was sexually assaulted as a child, but it was not his father and it was a woman.
@TheDolfan2010 Because he told his father and he didn't believe him. Basically, it was a metaphor because by not believing his son, he allowed the abuse to continue, so it was like he was raping Jon himself.
@Delorean997 Jon wasn't raped by his dad. Daddy is a reference to "Taking control over someone" "Being there Daddy" Jon and his father have a GREAT relationship, always have!
This is definitely the first and only time they played this live because it makes JD relive his childhood which was obvious traumatic. As for the lyrics being different, being the first time playing it live, in the moment singing and not remembering lyrics 100% is just because the song is so new to them live. It happens with other live songs they played when first introduced that arent singles
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'll never understand why he openly says things like "why does daddy touch me there?" when he sort of is emmbarassing his dad because he said in a interview his dad never molested him it was a family friend. ...............they should of added this song into the original My gift to you.
It means "daddy" like in the phrase "I'll be your daddy", meaning a person dominating someone, sorry if that was poorly worded, I'm not very good at explaining stuff like that.
uhm no, they played this song alot and stopped after their first album was released. they mustve played at least 20 or 30 shows before they were signed. shitty that theres only 2 shows from 1993 on youtube and only one featuring daddy.
in this video they dished it out like it was nothing they mustve played it alot
jon is my hero! i heard from somewhere or someone that in the album version of this song when he's like screaming and crying, he's actually crying cause the thoughts of the fucked up shit still effects him
@Rockgod7321 yea on the album that is really him breaking down, you can buy the "duece" dvd that has the first DVD also, "who then now" you actually see it, it's really heartbreaking, I started crying while watching.
@Maggotsicforlife do you kno why he wrote thiss song dude??? he wrote the song Daddy becuz his parentz alwayz thought ov 'em as a liar and a worthless nothin' and then one day when he was home alone his nabor mulested 'em and he told his parentz about it but they never believed 'em and they never did believe 'em about that so that's the reason why he wrote thiss song
good post - you should see john davies perform 'kill you' in the studio ( off their second album ). It's a trainwreck much like this performance. The guy ends up in floods of tears
No, they played it at all their shows before they had a record that was sold in stores. Because Jonathan was a trainwreck up after singing "Daddy", they never sang the studio version live.
yeahh this is a demo version before they release the first album, fuckkk this is so fuckin old and rare, thx 2 the dude that upload this video, really i havent see this before
for those who dont kno y this song is very rarely played is because this is based on the singers real life and he breaks in tears normally when he sings this
It's sad man.

It's very true. In Fieldy's book, he said they only performed it once because it was to emotionally staining for Jonathan. like I said down there.

@yopyopkid
Yeah, but in the Who Then Now? dvd, they show a clip from their 3. show. You can see Jonathan lying on the floor, crying.
If they played the song on their 3. show, then why wouldn't they do it on their first two shows?
KoRn4eveR2 2 years ago
Well because they thought they would try it out and see if Jon could make it through the song without crying his ass off like he did on the album.

@Rockgod7321 yea on the album that is really him breaking down, you can buy the "duece" dvd that has the first DVD also, "who then now" you actually see it, it's really heartbreaking, I started crying while watching.

@Maggotsicforlife do you kno why he wrote thiss song dude??? he wrote the song Daddy becuz his parentz alwayz thought ov 'em as a liar and a worthless nothin' and then one day when he was home alone his nabor mulested 'em and he told his parentz about it but they never believed 'em and they never did believe 'em about that so that's the reason why he wrote thiss song

good post - you should see john davies perform 'kill you' in the studio ( off their second album ). It's a trainwreck much like this performance. The guy ends up in floods of tears

wow this was the only time they played this live
TheCOLDband 2 years ago 3
No, they played it at all their shows before they had a record that was sold in stores. Because Jonathan was a trainwreck up after singing "Daddy", they never sang the studio version live.

i dont know about that, but if thats true then that kinda ruins the whole thing for me.
Rockgod7321 2 years ago
@RampinUp46 he actually said that he had only done it once, he couldn't make it through the song. Kinda don't blame him! I couldn't do it either.
