KoRn Frontman: Band Is Sounding Better Then Ever
Band Photo: Korn (?)
KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has posted the following message on his ButtSexCrips.com web site:
"Well, today was the last day of rehearsal. We leave in four days to start the Euro tour. We sound better than ever and we are very excited to get out and play again. We have got 18 songs mixed and ready [for the new album], so two more to go. The shit is BANGIN'! Terry [Date, mixer] and I will probably be up all Thursday night fixing all the mixes so it will be totally done on Friday.
"On Wednesday, me and Munky [guitar] have a photo shoot for the inside artwork, and Fieldy [bass] and David [drums] are doin' theirs on Thursday. Shit is starting to happen fast, so get ready 'cause HERE WE COME BIATCHES."
KORN are currently mixing their new album with producer Terry Date (DEFTONES, PANTERA, SOULFLY) for a tentative September release. Matrix (AVRIL LAVIGNE, THE MOONEY SUZUKI) and Atticus Ross (BAD RELIGION, PINK) were responsible for most of the production duties on the follow-up to 2003's "Take a Look in the Mirror", with only one track from the band's sessions with Dallas Austin slated to appear on the effort. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Liar", "Politix", "Last Legal Drug", "Le Petit Mort", "It's Me Again", "Coming Undone", "I've Seen It All" and "Souvenir of Sadness".
KORN's last release, "Greatest Hits, Vol. 1" (Immortal/Epic), featuring highlights from the first 10 years of the band's recording career, has sold 936,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
As previously reported, KORN are close to inking a new record deal with EMI/Virgin, according to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS. The proposed deal is said to be for two albums and a one-third interest in the band's publishing, merchandising and ticket sales as part of a new contractual model, a la Robbie Williams. The fine points are being hammered out by attorney Gary Stiffelman and manager Jeff Kwatinetz on the band's side of the table, and by EMI North America head David Munns in tandem with Virgin topper Matt Serletic.

God damn!! I wish he would just shut the f*** up and do his thing.....he used to be my fav. singer cause of the sick a$$ lyrics he had, but now it's just "I hate you, u hate me, f*** u" bullsh** like he has to recycle his lyrics on every album. And he knows god damn well that they don't sound "better than ever" without Head in the band............

Let these envious scumbags talk all they want...KoRn still rules...They're the best band out there...these people have to come under KoRn news and spew their bullsh** because no one reads about the sh** music they like. They're upset that the music they like is irrelevant and that noone cares about their bullsh** bands anymore, so it makes them feel worthless to, which they are. Here's some advice KoRn fans, ignore these jealous b****es. Say what you're gonna f***in say about band the best metal band ever and just ignore the crybaby haters out there. Either ignore them or say something that'll make them cry and whine like the b****es they are - something like - Dimebag Darrell is sucking the devil's dikk in hell as you read this. Dime deserved to die and hopefully he suffered until his last breath. How many maggots do you think are crawling in his rotting corpse? Thousands probably. Later scumbags.

To post 16: your are a corrodid piece of sh** for saying that about Dimebag. Korns the one who is losing fans cause they are startin to SUCK. They haven't made a good album since Life is Peachy. Korn hasn't been considered a metal band for a long time. While in Dimebags case Pantera will remain one of the best metal bands FOREVER. Korn I hope can pull it together on this next album and put all the bullsh** aside and make something that is at least decent.Otherwise they are gonna start to disband soon.

I've had tha chance to see korn live recently and they are really better then in the past few years, you guys that are saying sh** about korn have already listen to any of the new songs? I did and they are cool, better than the last ones. Korn still rules, just wait for the next album to see

Any haters need to shut the f*** up. Korn is old, and will probably realize it before to long, but to say they have no talent just because head wussed out and went to church is total bullsh**!!! I , for one, am TOTALLy looking forward to this new album, and if it's a hit, I;m so gonna rub un all your musty faces.
Peace.

Ok, all you people cutting down korn need to chill. If you don't like them, keep your mouth shut and move on. Do you have nothing better to do with your time? I don't like all the bands like greenday, but do you see me going to their web sites and posting disrespectful sh** about them? Korn is a really good, different band. I respect Head for doing what is right for jim, though it was a great loss to korn. I'm still looking forward to the new album, oh, and Tool does not suck!

I have never been someone to offend the music of other people, it's complete opinion. However when a couple of you complete losers who have nothing better to do than go on a Korn page and bash them start talking Sh!t, then I get mad...So please tell me what you listen to, and I guarantee I can come up with a thousand more reasons why they suck then you can of Korn. You so called metal lovers who are bashing Korn probably haven't even taken the time to pick up an album. You morons think your so cool and so dark until you listen to something that truely does scare the hell out of people, then it just becomes 'gay'. Now even though I am a fan of Marilyn Manson, he does not compare to Korn. But the band is awsome. And I guarantee all you f***ers would say the same thing, Marilyn Manson is 'gay'. I'll bet your a bunch of hardcore sh** stains. Guess what, hardcore sucks. But I'll save that for when you answer the question. The talent of every Korn member is amazing, and your just upset because your bands arent. It is a shame that Head left, especially for a reason like this. Korn fans, pay no attention. I've got a feeling this next album is going to be like the new age 'Issues'. And like every other album, even though TALITM was a little out there it was still incredibly good, it will rock. So come on you morons answer the question. What do you listen to that's just so much better then the band that currently holds enough fans to start a war on the f***ing world. ANSWER!

But the thing is Jon Davis is the George Michael of metal (and I use that word loosely)
and Korn's music blows and how can I miss them when they play their shiitty songs
all the time along with the other nu-metal fagtard garbage all the fukkin time on
the alternative rock stations everyfukkinwhere. I listen to real metal and I really don't have to defend myself. Like I said before and I will say it again.
What is the name of this site? Korn is not and never will be. Talk to ya douchebags later.

i think korn is the # 1 band in the country and i think all u fags are just p***ed off b/c their better than all the sh**ty bands u guys listen too....o and i no yall will prolly come up with a lame a$$ remark about this so to save time ill just say fuk all u fa**ots who dis korn mmmk by by now

I don't know why kids come on here and talk sh** in a fan website, its pretty much retarded, if you don't like korn, then keep it to yourself. Korn is a great band, they pretty much brought a new age of metal, bands like slipknot, mushroomhead, static x, mudvayne and more wouldn't of probably exist if it wasn't for nu metal. So lay off the bullsh** talking, damn 12 year olds.

Pfft nu metal is like all these other f***in EMO brand sh**, horrible.. just horrible.. korn is a good band and they have tallent, ill give them that, but really in all honesty, korn isnt what it used to be.. and without head its just not going to be the same.. and i like TALITM.. it was issues that i thought was horrible.. and i mean HORRIBLE...

Thats more than what you can say faggit. Have you ever done anything besides b**** about your pointless concided life, nope didn't think so! I can believe that they sound good, but better than ever, not really. Thier self-titled disc is still the pimp sh**. The only that can compare is Untouchables, but remaking that is impossable. Perhaps I'm wrong[ sure hope so ]and KoRn is back to tearing sh** apart. Losing Brain was a eye openner and a good thing. All he did for the past two releases was b****. Maybe Kmadd and Brain should go on a blind date, already have two things in common, b****ing and being fags. A good start for homos.

Kmadd I'm really starting to get board with your 1st grade comments. Maybe get something other than ''KoRn sucks"' and "Jon is gay" and I'll concider kicking your a$$ like the step child you are. But your father already seems to kick a$$ around, with his d***. Just a thought, or should I say...............a fact. Hmmmmmm.

Dude I'm far from a wigga. they did f*** up Another Brick in the Wall when compared to Pink Floyd standards. When listening to it as the KoRn version, it's a pimp song. You don't listen to remakes looking for the orginal trates. That's why it's a f***ing remake. It was remade, get the picture re-done, not the same just same concept.

Broken, when I first got here, I almost had everyone to let go on the KoRn bashing, but Kmadd. He's still on the subject, f***en douchbag. New album is gonna kick your asses harder than anything before. I got a boot-leg copy of the new sh** they've been playen in Europe. f***en sick sh**.

Dude you got some f***en issues to deal with. Maybe you should get some professinal help before talking with other let alone contacting with others. Korn have given most metal bands a run for thier money rather thier rap, metal, nu-metal, whatever! 14-15 years later, 7 and half records, millions of albums. Let's face it, Korn kids, Korntards, are here to stay.
