Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis started his journey into rock and metal after hearing "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin at a very young age. According to Davis in an interview with Lipps Service, he also has the original stereo system he first heard Led Zeppelin on, which he keeps around for inspiration. Davis adds that his dad listened to a lot of different music growing up, and that MTV was an equally giant influence on him a little later in life.
"The first time I remember any kind of rock thing, that I remember that sparked me was when I heard 'Whole Lotta Love' from Led Zeppelin. I put that record on and that kind of like, 'wow.' That grabbed me somehow, and that sent me down that like 'oh, I want to check [this out].' I was very, very young."
"I actually have that console still to this day that I heard that first Led Zeppelin record on. I keep it and when I want to be inspired, that's like an object that totally inspired me from my childhood that i still… I have it in the studio. Sometimes I go sit and just stare, touch it just get some inspiration because it was like… it's like a good luck charm for me."
