"Just watching Xzibit holding my bass straight up and down and jumping around, he's really into character. "He's got the Dickies and the chain on, it's hilarious," Fieldy said of Xzibit. Such a good job, in fact, that it takes a few seconds before realizing, 'Hey, that's Lil Jon singing, not Jonathan Davis.' 'And that's Snoop Dogg in the dreads and bodysuit, not Munky.' 'And that's Xzibit wearing Fieldy's signature headband and David Banner banging on David Silveria's drums.' " "It's basically a video with hip-hop stars playing us," Davis said. In a recent MTV.com interview, KORN frontman Jonathan Davis spoke at length about the video shoot.
Check out photos from the video shoot, which took place on October 5 at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California, at Wire Image. But if we put those lower doubts/obsessions/fears between us and our TRANSISTOR, well, it stays twisted until "FINALLY YOU GET IT".According to, MTV2 will air a "Making the Video" program focusing on KORN's video for "Twisted Transistor" on Tuesday, November 8 at 9:00 p.m.
~Sometimes it's the darkest/lowest bits in life by which we come to know the more liberating perspectives, or higher Truths. Is a reference/clue to the layered perfection the lyrics themselves. "JUST LET ME BE BETWEEN YOU AND ME DON'T FIT" "SAYS WHO? SAYS WHO? ANESTHETIZE THIS BITCH" is the person, the twisted transistor also responding (with their shadow aspect that doubts and gets distracted by lower perceptions) "HEY YOU HEY YOU, THIS WON'T HURT A BIT",or "HANG ON YOU, TWISTED TRANSISTOR" is the MUSIC speaking to the person/listener. The 'Twisted Transistor' is the PERSON being sung to (the listener), who in some parts responds: we, the listener are the transistor, every moment capable of choosing the less or more liberating perspective.īut whatever we choose, there is a 'higher' message that is so powerful it comes directly through the music (MUSIC DO MUSIC DO), so even if you "HOLD IT BETWEEN YOUR LEGS" and "TURN IT UP, TURN IT UP", the higher message about liberation from the stifling aspects of this world are "REACHING INSIDE YOU FOREVER PREACHING"įor one brief example: "HANG ON YOU, TWISTED TRANSISTOR" is part of a dialog, as is "FUCK YOU TOO" a response from the person/the twisted transistor. This line is referring to how we choose to utilize ourselves, our capabilities as living Transistors, in either lowly/base ways (like gratuitous empty sex), or higher/liberating ways (realizing the dynamics of how the world works). "HOLD IT BETWEEN YOUR LEGS, TURN IT UP, TURN IT UP" There is a higher TRUTH in all things, perfectly entwined in even the most 'base' or primal aspects of this world, like MUSIC. that literal radio is just a jumping-off point for the fantabulous layers of the song, which to me sing about: Yes, in the FIRST stanza, 'twisted transistor' refers to a radio. In short, I enjoy this song as a layered sort of perfection in the various ways it's possible to interpret parts or as a whole.īut for starters it's clear to me that 'twisted transistor' is primarily the person/listener, not a radio She cries out to be anesthetized, degrading herself at the same time. But despite all of this loneliness, the narrator and the music makes her realize you have to fight back or, "the world will eat you if you let it." But for right now, turn to music to ease your suffering and it won't hurt anymore. It moves her emotionally, "reaching and inside you forever preaching." She shares in the anger of the music.the world has fucked her over, and she can say "Fuck you too." She can scream now in her silent, private, and personal rage, comforted by the fact that the music understands her pain. the image of this girl with a radio between her legs gives us her sense of desperation, intimately letting the music "in." She's at her breaking point, finally understanding what everyone gets eventually - the world sucks.
When no one understands you, you have your music, your "radio/transistor" to turn to. The narrator is commenting on how dark, twisted music is alleviating the pain and loneliness that this girl and everyone in the world feels. And there is a dialogue between the girl and the narrator there isn't just one person speaking here. It's not about dildo's, although an allusion is made between them. Transistor is what they used to call a radio back in the 60s.
