Korn Touring Guitarist Comments On Arrest

KORN touring guitarist Clint Lowery was arrested on Thursday (July 5) at the Hodokvas Festival in Piestany, Slovakia after a "wild, drunken night" at the event, which ended with the guitarist trashing his room. Lowery was released the following afternoon from police custody after apologizing and paying for the damages.

Commeted Lowery: "I'll just say that I was in the wrong place to pull anything out of the norm. I've heard a lot of different things about what happen. I'll just say that it was the end of the tour and I was being a lil' rowdy and loud in my hotel. I guess the redneck came out a bit. It was a great tour but long and I pulled some Rock 101 stuff. Not proud of it at all. Cops were called and they took me away. It was scary enough to where it's safe to say I won't be doing that EVER again. I truly regret it. But was what it was. There's been a lot of crazy things added on to it but that's basically what happened. The KORN camp is very laid back and had nothing to do with my actions. I guess it was the 4th of July and I was representing. No, seriously, I'm lucky it wasn't worse and I'm thankful I'm back home safe. I love all of you and just know that will not be repeated and it was a very dumb thing to do. I can't beat myself up over it' I'm human and I just have to pick myself up and keep on going. The KORN tour was amazing, though. I enjoyed it very much and the people over there were great."

Lowery is the second replacement for original KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, who left the band two years ago to devote his life to Christianity.

Lowery made his debut with KORN on March 1, 2007 when the band made its first appearance ever on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".

Lowery's band DARK NEW DAY released its debut album, "Twelve Year Silence", in June of 2005. The disc featured the single "Brother".

Gene Simmons Gives Simmonsisms

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons recently shared his top 10 Simmons-isms with Spinner.com. The top five nuggets follow:

5. On how Americans don't know how good they have it:

"When people come as an immigrant — [as I did] myself — we're shocked at how pampered and spoiled everybody is, which is really to say you live in the land of milk and honey and you don't realize that the rest of the world isn't a nice place."

4. On why rappers are more rock & roll than rock & rollers:

"So if the white boys ... all want to look like Kurt Cobain, then the public goes to rap stars, who sing about getting laid all the time. None of them sing about getting married, 'cause the male of the species doesn't want to."

3. On his disdain for anti-war protesters:

"What we did to our veterans of Vietnam was just the lowest form, and America should be ashamed of itself — and every crackhead who tried to burn the flag, I wish I could get them in my sights in front of a baseball bat."

2. On why it doesn't make sense for Jews to be pacifists:

"You can take a humanistic point of view: You don't have the right to take a human life. That's fine, but then you can't complain when your whole family is wiped out at Auschwitz. And my family almost was. And for Jews, especially in America, to be pacifists is astonishing.

1. On his own greatness:

"While all the rock stars, the few that are remaining, they're in bands, I'm the only brand, baby. No matter how big Mick Jagger or U2 is, there are no ROLLING STONES or U2 comic books or Visa cards."
