Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, DevilDriver’s Dez Fafara, Skindred’s Benji Webbe, Corey Taylor from Slipknot, Trivium’s Matt Heafy and, er, Jesse Hasek from 10 Years.

Those who dared step into Davis’ oo-ragga-aggaing shoes were *deep breath*: M.

Scaling the top of the US Billboard 200 upon its release and having since shifted over 14 million copies worldwide, Follow The Leader was evidence that Korn were most definitely, ahem, here to stay.įollowing Davis’ hospitalisation due to contracting ITP, a rare bleeding disorder, Korn played Download Festival 2006 alongside a cast of stars. The heartfelt Justin, a tribute to a late fan, proved that Korn still had heart even when they were recording high on drugs with people having sex all around them. Lead singles Got The Life and Freak On A Leash still refuse to age, while the immortal chorus of Dead Bodies Everywhere remains one of the most eagerly awaited moments through any Korn set. While everyone’s got their favourites, Follow The Leader took Korn’s loose, funky metal hybrid and shoved it down the mainstream’s throat. Still not as mental as Ministry’s Al Jourgensen telling Jones he was going to star in Glee, though. Around the same time, Davis joined broadcasting maniac Alex Jones to spout conspiracy theories about Obama. Silveria has since been a bit frosty towards Korn, calling Fieldy a “cowardly little bitch”, criticising the band’s post- Follow The Leader output and, most bizarrely, posting on his Facebook: “Korn fans need to flood the Korn site telling them Korn isn’t Korn without the original five!!!” Sure, Silveria’s groove is a vital component in those early Korn records… but they seem to be doing just fine without him.Įminem and Korn never joined forces at the peak of their respective powers, but they did tag along with Ice Cube and donate portions of their videos to Anonymous’ Omnipotent short in 2014. Seeing as Silveria had bigger fish to fry (geddit?), the band recruited Brooks Wackerman and Terry Bozzio for the Untitled album, roping in then-Slipknot sticksman Joey Jordison to fulfil live duties before Ray Luzier became Korn’s permanent drummer in 2009. Korn’s original drummer served behind the stool until 2006, when he left the band and started running steak and sushi restaurants instead.

Guitarist Brian ‘Head’ Welch trumps Fieldy though, having unleashed Save Me From Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, And Lived To Tell My Story two years after his 2005 Korn exit Stronger: Forty Days Of Metal And Spirituality came in 2010 and, following his 2013 reinstatement, Head published With My Eyes Wide Open: Miracles And Mistakes On My Way Back To Korn this year alongside author Carol Travor. Yeah, Fieldy crucified atop bass guitars on the front-cover is ridiculous, but the way he talks about his wife Dana is the sweetest thing since blue Smarties.

Bassist Reginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu scribbled alongside New York Times bestselling author Laura Morton for his 2009 confessional, Got The Life: My Journey Of Addiction, Faith, Recovery And Korn. The industrial-flecked hip-hop hit “Got the Life” and electro-goth mood pieces “Make Me Bad” and “Freak on a Leash” presaged a snappy 2004 cover of Cameo’s ’80s funk hit “Word Up!” and 2010s collaborations with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and EDM stars Skrillex and Kill the Noise.Everybody and their dog does an autobiography at some point (even Doug The Pug’s got his own book), so it makes sense that the sordid stories of Korn would be blotted upon page. By the end of the ’90s, Korn were at the forefront of the burgeoning nu-metal movement, although they were already making moves to ensure career longevity.

Early songs such as “A.D.I.D.A.S.” embodied the band’s unique approach: confessional and often dark lyrics paired with shuddering bass, abrasive guitars, and Davis’ half-rapped, half-sung vocals. After that group split, the pair linked up with guitarist Brian “Head” Welch and vocalist Jonathan Davis to form Korn in 1993. that featured guitarist Munky and bassist Fieldy. Korn’s roots were in a late-’80s/early-’90s metal band called L.A.P.D. The nursery-rhyme-quoting 1995 single “Shoots and Ladders” starts with ominous bagpipes, and their 1998 breakthrough album, Follow the Leader, led to stardom on MTV’s pop-leaning TRL as well as a slot on the Family Values Tour with Limp Bizkit and Ice Cube. Although Korn are rightfully considered nu-metal godfathers, the Bakersfield, CA, band have always resisted genre pigeonholing.
