  The conception of Korn began in
the early 90s in Southern California - a
combination of 2 bands: Sexart and LAPD. Korn
consists of Jonathan Davis on vocals, Brian
"Head" Welch on guitar, James
"Munky" Shaffer on guitar, Reginald
"Fieldy" Arvizu on bass, and David
Silveria on drums.
 Korn released their debut, Korn. The LP got off to a
slow start, but relentless touring with the
likes of Megadeth, Marilyn
Manson, and 311,
gradually expanded the band's fan base.
Korn became the first music
artist to appear live on the internet to
promote their new LP.

Is Peachy in October with the
track "A.D.I.D.A.S."

as part of the Lollapalooza package tour (but

band homophobic or the reflection of a
sexually confused lead singer? Spin
magazine reported that lead singer, Jonathan
Davis, use to wear makeup and go to gay bars
(as detailed in their song,
"Faget"): "Everyone thought I
was gay my whole life... so I have to joke
about it just to del with it."

Korn the Best Hard-Rock/Metal Band of the
Year.
