Freak on a Leash” is a song written and recorded by American rock band Korn, the song is the second single from their third studio album, Follow the Leader. It was released as the album’s second single in January 1999. The song is also featured in the game Guitar Hero World Tour.
“That’s my song against the music industry. Like me feeling like I’m a fuckin’ pimp, a prostitute. Like I’m paraded around. I’m this freak paraded around but I got corporate America fuckin’ making all the money while it’s taking a part of me. It’s like they stole something from me, they stole my innocence and I’m not calm anymore. I worry constantly.” – Jonathan Davis
The song is the second and final charting single from Follow the Leader. It reached number 6 on Billboard’s Hot Modern Rock Tracks and number 10 on Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, although failed to chart on the Hot 100, the music industry’s standard singles chart for popular music. However, it peaked at number 6 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles for the issue date of June 19, 1999, a position equivalent to number 106 on the Hot 100. It was also immensely popular in Australia where the single was certified Gold for shipments in excess of 35,000 units. The music video followed the previous success of “Got the Life”, debuting at number 8 on MTV’s Total Request Live program on February 9, 1999, and peaking at number 1 on its thirteenth day, February 25.

I saw Korn 7 times. The first time, they opened up for Marilyn Manson and Danzig(headliner). I didn't have a clue who Korn or Marilyn Manson were. Awesome concert. M.M. and Korn are two of my favorites now. "\m/
