Veteran drummer
Ray Luzier (
KORN,
ARMY OF ANYONE,
DAVID LEE ROTH) will be the featured guest on
Indie 103.1 FM's specialty metal program
"Chaos with Full Metal Jackie" this Sunday (May 4) at 10:00 p.m. PST (1:00 a.m. EST Monday morning).
To listen to the show live via the Internet, go to
this location. The program also airs on
KNAC.COM Monday nights between 7 and 9 p.m. PST (and again on Sunday mornings between 7 and 9 a.m.).
Video footage of
Ray Luzier's audition that landed him the job as the current touring drummer for
KORN can be viewed below.
In a February 2008 interview with the French magazine
RecMag,
KORN bassist
Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu stated about
Luzier: "[He is] my favorite drummer I've ever played with."
Prior to
Luzier joining
KORN's touring lineup in November 2007, the band had been utilizing the services of drummer
Joey Jordison from
SLIPKNOT. Famed drummer
Terry Bozzio worked on much of
KORN's most recent, untitled record, but the group chose not to work with him on the road.
KORN guitarist
James "Munky" Shaffer told the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "There were certain demands that he made. We weren't ready to meet those demands...He was a great guy and a phenomenal drummer. But the demands that he made were offensive. He wanted to be a member of the band, and that included ownership. We were like, 'What? You want to have 25 percent of everything?' We can't just sign away the rights to music on a whim."
