We all started somewhere, especially rock stars. The bands and artists we think of as chart-topping jet-setters often spent their teenage years cutting their fingers as they sent out homemade CDs in the mail. Case in point, a new video has surfaced of a backyard party in 1993 featuring a cool new track by a then-unknown band…named Korn.

As you’ll see in the video below, Korn are performing their rare track “Layla” at what appears to be a backyard party in California back in 1993. What’s most notable about the video, however, is what’s lacking in it: facial hair. The members of Korn all look like fresh-faced babies, especially Fieldy and Jonathan Davis. It just goes to show how much these dudes have cemented themselves in our minds as grizzled hairballs.

Check out Korn in ’93 below:
