KORN Kicking Off Full U.S. Tour Later This Month

According to The Pulse of Radio, KORN has announced the details of a full U.S. spring tour that will begin later this month, after previously confirming a mid-May appearance at Columbus, Ohio's Rock On The Range festival. The band's first trek in a year kicks off on April 25 in Tucson, Arizona, and will visit 23 cities before winding down on May 31 in Des Moines, Iowa. The road trip will encompass festivals, amphitheaters, and even a few shows in smaller venues like clubs.
Although singer Jonathan Davis says he's itching to get back on tour, he told The Pulse of Radio he's enjoyed his time off as well. "It's been nice," he said. "I got to hang out with the family, just kick back with my sons and my wife and just be a dad. I took a couple of months off, didn't do anything, and then the last six months I've been working on my solo record, getting that going, and that's coming along great. It's gonna be amazing when it's done."
KORN will begin work on its first new album since 2007 later in the year. The disc will be the band's first with touring drummer Ray Luzier as a full-time member.
Davis also expects to record his debut solo effort sometime this year as well.
KORN bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu published a memoir titled "Got The Life: My Journey Of Addiction, Faith, Recovery and Korn" last month.

Well, if you like a band who plays one note, to the same beat, over and over again ad nauseum then I guess this is good news.
I saw them in Florida a few years back - a buddy dragged me and paid for my ticket.
They were absolutely horrific - music sucks donkey dicks and Davis can't sing worth a shit. (pretty mic stand though)
Maybe they should get onstage with Godsmack - both bands could play the one note they know and possibly deliver a tune.

Hey KilingWthASmile. KoRn are still 3 original members. =) Fieldy didnt quit? =)
But I'm still as sad as any KoRn fan for the lack of original members. Wish they all could reunite it a 2 or 3 years or so. That would kick ass !! =D
Happy easter everybody!

is producing the new album (for those who dont know, he produced the 1st 2 albums which people seem to "miss"). In an interview he said what theyre doing so far is really heavy and back to their roots and that it should have been the "3rd korn album" you could read more about it on www.kornspace.com . I cant wait! All time fav band

I fucking hate their music, but it takes balls to play in South Dakota right now. Their weather makes Chicago's look like Rio De Janiero.

I enjoy all types of metal, including the first Korn release. But how has this band managed to last and still remain relevant.
Ray Luzier is about the best thing this band has right now.
Seriously, even fans, they aren't THAT good - lyrically or musically. They aren't no Sabbath or Priest or Maiden by a long shot.

Haha that's what I said. At least come to Lincoln where there will be more people and it won't be a 2.5 hour drive from Omaha.
