While reading up on Weezer’s Undone song I learned that Rivers Cuomo thought it to be an almost a complete rip-off of Metallica’s Welcome Home (Sanitarium).

I don’t hear it myself but listening to that song now sure does take me back to another era. Late 80s, crimped hair, jean jackets, time standing still, brain saying rage.

One thing that really set Metallica apart to me from other metal bands is that many of the guitar solos and asides were more like additional vocal melodies than simply shredding frets. See Battery about 2:55 in.

In related news: Tye Trujillo, son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, is playing bass for Korn on their South American dates. 😎

Peeps, here’s your get-it-underway jam to power through the rest of your Thursday work day.

Lyrics only video because the original is dumb. Still one of my top 5 fave bands from the 90s.

Coming Undone by Korn

Keep holding on
When my brain’s tickin’ like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come Again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird
You don’t affect me

That’s right
Deliverance of my heart
Please strike
Be deliberate

Wait
I’m coming undone
Irate
I’m coming undone
Too late
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I’m starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate

Choke choke again
I thought my demons were my friends
Getting me in the end
They’re out to get me
Since I was young
I’ve tasted sorrow on my tongue
And this sweet sugar gun
Does not protect me

That’s right
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike
Make it quick now

Wait
I’m coming undone
Irate
I’m coming undone
Too late
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I’m starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate

I’m trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like I’m not getting better
Not getting better

Still one of my all time favorites jams.
