What's going on today?
We gotta break away!
We got a problem and
I think it's going to make us go down.

They think we're all the same
And always we're to blame
For shit I think is lame
It's time to stop the game
I think it's time to pay for everything you made me say.

What's going on today?
Why must it be this way?
We're going nowhere and
We're still knocking the need to bow down

They think we're all the same
And always we're to blame
For shit I think is lame
It's time to stop the game
I think it's time to pay for everything you made me say...

Music Monopoly? One corporation owns the 5 major video channels in the U.S. Is that okay?

Last year, the big 5 record labels sold about $25 billion of music. 90% of releases on a major label do not make a profit.
Britney Spears' last video cost $1,000,000. This Korn video cost $150,000. You have now seen $48,000 worth of video.

The music 'industry' releases 100 songs per week.
Only 4 songs are added to the average radio 'playlist' each week. Hit songs on Top 40 are often repeated over 100 times per week. Is that all you want to hear?

Two radio conglomerates control 42% of listeners.
90% of all singles get to the 'hook' within 20 seconds. 98 % of all #1 singles are less than 3 minutes and 30 seconds long. Does this seem like a formula to you?

Yes. The crew is saying the pure truth, damn straight. Just take a look around. Everything, I repeat everything is just and only for MONEY. All the tvs are racing to get more and more watchers, and throw all the crap on them to fill their head with stupidness. I don't watch TV at all, besides cartoons and channels like national geograpic or so. These are the only ones that are still the same. How sad, even music is for money.
You get the TV on - what is there? Reality shows, talk shows, talent shows, and all the other kind of shows. Or anything which can catch the eye and mind of the crowd. Anything what can make stupid people even more stupider. Click the music channel - Just the same clips, with no idea, or creativity. ( Respect to the exception, as Hungarians say.) Just turn on the radio - only the 'famous' songs, just played repeatedly, over and over again

Hey you stupid tv stations, and you commercial channels, who feed the people with all the crap. Hey you music channels and radios, who don't care about what is the fashion and famous thing... so, you want to eat, to feed? You all want a single? NOW YOU GOT ONE. RIGHT TO YOUR FACES.

I have been thinking a lot about this whole thing a lot. And I guess these things, in a way, are not bad. See, the famous people have to live from something, too. And the workers of TVs, channels, radios so do have too. That society needs boring and stupid stuff. See, what would happen if there were no boring music? Then the GOOD music would be overplayed, and we would get bored of the GOOD music. Can you get it? Now, the people who wants to be famous, rich and loved - they sing, they release CDs, the people buy the CDs - the star is happy, because she/he reached what she or he wanted, the record labels are happy, they have hell a lot of money, the radios and music channels are happy, because there is something to play... so, at the end everyone's happy. Or almost everyone.
See, I don't want to change the world, and break this balance. I don't want to ban or delete any kind of music which I think it sucks. I don't want to tear up or burn down the local CD shop (which I actually love, because of the fantastic atmosphere and lovely attendants). You don't have to wathc the TV, and listen to the radio, if you don't want to. That's democracy. But the fact is that there are not one of music channels which plays clips older than half a year. That's why you can't see great videos of the not-too-far past, like Freak On A Leash if KoRn is mentioned, which is one of the best videos I've ever seen, apart from that I'm a fan or not. And, the only one thing where I am able to watch the video of one of the greatest songs ever, Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana, is a thing of '90's videos on MTV. I just ask WHY? As far as I know, there are no rock radio stations at all at Hungary, and that's true of every other kind of music. Seriously, is this a real choice?

And not KoRn is the first one who is realizing this. It's getting to be realized everywhere. Maybe mostly at the field of rap... like, I can remember, Eminem didn't made a video for his latest own single 'Business' just for all that. Just to mention an example.
Shhh... listen, there's something in the air. The chilly, cold wind of change. There's the smell of a revolution in the air. Can you feel it?

The point of this picture have been said above. I haven't seen the video yet. This is how I imagine it. Well, not exactly, but it's about it. I have worked for a whole day on this... no I think more than a day. At first I want to say that this is the weak, crappy copy of the original. Though it doesn't seem to be a big work even not in the 'real life' this crappy scanner killed all the little details what I have worked for long hours for. Hm... the only things I am proud of are the band members - I had a hard work with them, and they came out good...maybe except for Munky, please forgive me; but I have no really good pictures of him (all I could rely on was the 'Scrapbook' inside of Take A Look In The Mirror)... and I'm pretty proud of the background for a reason, because I can't draw buildings, even not almost-perspectivicals like that. There was a pic of the Scrapbook which helped a lot with it. The other people... hm.. some characters, some real people, and some random ones... *shrugs*

Well... I hope that was all I wanted to say. An annoyingly long description and a lot of meaning (which is NOT coming from me... it's coming from real life) attached to a poor, weak, crappy drawing. Years later, one day I should do this with paint, in canvas or so. Just to live up to the meaning of it.

What the hell are you waiting for?! JOIN US. If you dare.

Pencils, hell a lot of pencils. Finished 12th of April, 2004. Enjoy.

If you haven't read this description you have seen NOTHING.

Ps. I think you should full view this and look at this drawing for a minute...otherwise you won't understand and it will be a big mess for your eye.
