Every fan of Korn or Jonathan Davis is well aware that he was molested in his youth. Some say by his father though, according to Wikipedia, Jonathan said it was not his father, but a woman whom he would not identify. Either way, the damage was done.
In Korn's early days, Jon wore a lot of black and white Adidas suits with stripes running up the sleeves. If he looked at his arm when bent he would see horizontal stripes. He wore other colours (he would often be spotted in green, or black and red), however black and white was, and still is, his main theme.
Is it just me, or does his smile match that of his creepy tattoo?
Touch-ups and additions turned the tattoo into a sleeve of disturbing imagery
Strange symbol on his wrist-band
Ozzy Osbourne and Jon Davis strike mirrored poses
More black and white Adidas stripes, posing much like his famous mic stand
I'm not certain if this was fan-made or an actual promo. Either way, this speaks volumes
Red star/pentegram on hat, "Somebody Told Me" behind him, words carrying on his black and white theme
He's missing the whole one eye Jay-Z thing, but other than that...
With a zoned-out looking girl (I forget who), red Guess triangles behind, "Wonderland" written as Wonder Land, and once again carrying out his black and white theme with a JD shirt.
He's playing his hand to the bone in a dead forest at night. Wtf?
This one is most troubling. A crucifix to the right of the background, twin columns on the throne, looks like a checkerboard floor (but I think it's just "rubble" from the "destruction"), a serpent coiling around Jon and the infant held in a threatening grip, his hand on the head of the boy (his son?) who is bleeding from the mouth. Reminiscent of the "As above so below" pose of Baphomet. The middle window seems to act as an all-seeing eye, and the lightening is representing, I assume, a power transfer of some kind.
Some things never change
The pattern around him and on his shirt are pretty trippy. What is that a picture of, anyway? A white rabbit?
What's with the HIV?
Even in the pictures where he's smiling he looks unhappy, which is expressed through most of his music. Head's comment continues to ring through my mind:
"...'This is the rock'n'roll life!' But inside, I thought they took it too far. It was a little too crude for me."
What was too crude for him? What was taking it too far?
