Korn, ‘Oildale (Leave Me Alone)’ – Behind-the-Scenes Video

When Korn added ‘Remember Who You Are’ as the subtitle to their ‘Korn III’ album, the iconic band was making a statement that they’ve never forgot where they came from. Case in point: crafting the song and video for ‘Oildale (Leave Me Alone)’ around the area, shadowed by oil rigs, they all grew up in.

“Moving back to Bakersfield, [Calif.] has really made me think about a lot of things. The conditions in Oildale and the BP disaster hit way closer to home now,” frontman Johnathan Davis told Noisecreep about the video — which used the locals of the town conveying a true documentation of where the band started — and what drove them to be where they are now.
