Korn is by far one of the best well known hard rock bands of the 90s to present day. Jonathan Davis has stated that “The kids out there want something they can relate to, something that’s real; most of that whiny stuff isn’t real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death.” This style is what makes Korn’s musicality so unique.

The band members from Korn originated in Bakersfield, California and started their journey as a hard rock band in 1993. Three of the main members were from another band called L.A.P.D and the names of these guys were James “Munky” Shaffer who was the bands rhythm guitarist, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu the band's bass guitarist, Brian “Head” Welch who was the lead guitarist and backing vocals and Jonathan Davis who was the lead vocalist and played bagpipes. Ray Luzier became the band’s permanent drummer in 2007 after the original drummer David Silveria left the band to pursue his solo career.

The Beatles: One Of The Most Iconic Bands In History

The Beatles (also known as The Fabulous Four) formed in Liverpool, England in 1960. The band members consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. In my opinion, the Beatles are hands down the most amazing and iconic band in history.

The Beatles were highly regarded in the 1960s. They were a mixture of skiffle (blues, jazz, folk, and American folk) and in a skiffle competition that’s where John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met. Paul McCartney impressed John Lennon with his acoustic guitar skills. Lennon asked McCartney to become a part of his band which was then known as ‘the Quarrymen’.

Paul McCartney asked John Lennon if his long-time friend George Harrison (another guitarist) could be a part of their band. Lennon at first said “no” because Harrison was only fourteen years old at the time. Harrison like McCartney had impressive guitar skills that he showed off to Lennon. After that, Lennon said that Harrison could join the band as well. These three formed the band the Quarrymen which also included Stuart Sutcliffe (vocalist) and Peter Best (drummer). They played gigs at Best’s mother’s club called the Casbah Club regularly.
