Korn and Deftones To Team Up For Resurrected Family Values Tour
Band Photo: Korn (?)
KORN and DEFTONES will be teaming up for the resurrected Family Values tour late summer/early fall, according to official MySpace bulletins posted by both bands earlier today.
The Family Values Tour was created by KORN in 1998 with the intention of making it an annual trek. KORN headlined the first tour, then passed the headlining spot to LIMP BIZKIT in 1999. The tour took the year off in 2000 due to heavy competition.
Since the tour started, many bands have featured on the bill, such as INCUBUS, ORGY, LIMP BIZKIT, ICE CUBE, RAMMSTEIN, PRIMUS, STAIND, METHOD MAN & REDMAN, THE CRYSTAL METHOD, FILTER, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, LINKIN PARK, STATIC-X, and DEADSY.
Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer recently hinted that the tour may return when he spoke to Launch Radio Networks.
"We're trying to put together something similar to, like, a Family Values kind of a thing," he said. "We don't know if we're gonna call it that or not, but we wanna put together something sort of a festival feel, where there's four bands on the main stage and then there's four or five bands on a side stage. We want to make our own Kornfest type of thing."

Agreed with post 4
Deftones and Korn came out of the same scene together but have never had one thing in common other than anger being a common theme in some of their songs....Apples and oranges really....Deftones are the better band even if Korn reached a broader audience.
I like the tour. If you dont like it dont go. Its for Korn, Deftones and Stone sour fans. Go enjoy your music and your favorite tour. Putting down a band thats done nothing to you is just sad. Korn are awsome in my opinon and the truth is they dont care about anyone else but their fans and not alot of bands can say that now and days.
So says Lord Agony.....
i'm truly impressed with this tour, it a fantastical tour consisting of two great bands. but, oh my, never would i thought that this place is full of uneducated people. but i'm not surprised to know that all of you are of the lower class. me i'm a handsome young man, with money, cars, beautiful women, and a mansion.
i also spell better than all of you. but to those who catch up with an admirable person such as i i give them credits. deathbringer, i shall hold you hold in my highest regards for the creation of this site whom i recently discover. it a good site. it also better than the former site whom i participate in. but i see that the only problem here is that your site is contaminated with all this disgusting comments from all of this vermins. but i understand your rules, so i beg your pardon, sire.
i'm in love with classical acts such as the beatles. not really "death metal". i don't despise it. it just so insane and dirty for a person of a high status like me.
i on behalf, of all this uneducated people, really consider the fact that some bands here should not belong here, because they are full of you know what. i don't curse because i don't have a dirty filthy mouth like all this ignorants ugh. i beg your pardon again. you will find me as the best member of this site from here on. and it will be an honor as will let you know all the of the worst vermins i could find such as the disrespectful sevenchurches so that you can keep your site clean.
and to the majority of you fellow metalheads, please, get some education, learn to write, go to school, so that our world will be a better place, and not be full of horse manural like all of you.
well ta-ta
sincerely,
the great poet of masterpieces
sevenchurches, its spelled H-E-R-M-A-P-H-R-O-D-I-T-E
WhyLordWhy, my thoughts exactly...Hey Agony! where can I get some?!
the great poet, don't tell me who you are, I already know...
Korn sold out, I don't care...Unless they get back to when they were good/original, I cease to care
All bullsh** asside The Def Tones are enough to get me to show up.As for KoRn .... Well I hear they can still put on a great show at the very least.I don't know why so many people are getting bent out of shape over KoRn.So they sold out.It's not like this was the first sighn of the comeing apocalypse.Get over it.
Red devil, get some better grammar, so I can better understand your attempts to act like you know anything...And if you ever read anything past message boards, you'd know that Azazel was part of the Grigori, a bunch of renegade angels fallen from God's grace that taught man to make weapons, and makeup, and had sex with the mortal women, the impregnated women gave birth to Demigod types called the Nephilim...Ever listen to Behemoth (Kickass Black/Death Metal)? They do songs about them...
Azazel_Begotten comes from a lyric in Behemoth's "Reign ov Shemsu-hor"
"Azazel begotten not ov human race/honour the divine visions ov victorious sun/Open wide your glimmering eyes/Bathe in divinity ov loneliness/empowered in self-creation shine inward!/Shemyaza the profoundest one/Spread thy wings, the desolate one/Thy disease untamed within the sinister self!"
rising end, great point...
Don't let him rattle you Azazel.At the end of the day his decision is his decisision(I know ... Like I should talk).If he's not feeling KoRn Then he's not feeling KoRn.I'm not feelling them either but argueing the point with anyones a waste of time.I just got into it with a girl I used to work with over the validity of this band and to make a long story short.I called them POP KoRn and she copped an attitude.This would not have matterd if she were a guy.But let me assure she's not a guy and I was interested.I have not seen or herd from her since that particular bar closed.Moral of the story.Some thing's just arent worth the time and energy of a debate or argument.
to all of u retards...first off korn is the greatest band ever! u all need to find out what musik is all about. maybe if some of you knew how to play then you might understand. i am a great musician. i pick up my guitar and can play along with just about anything. but korn is really hard especially when you use a seven string and go all over the place and throw out all kinds of effects. maybe it's time that everyone just shut the f**k up. grow a brain peeps, please. just look at the musik scene today, full of hip-hop crap that anyone could do. everyone sux! thank you!
I almost agreed with you till you saide HIP HOP.It may not be your kind of music.But like METAL THERE'S MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF HIP HOP ! And KoRn tend's to borrow alot of what they do from HIP HOP.Why do you think J.D. hang's out with LIL JON,P.DIDDY (WHO IS IN FACT TALENTLESS FOR THE MOST PART & IS THE ONE TRUE MEDIA WHORE OF HIP HOP AKA ANTI CHRIST EQUIVALENT) and BUSTAH RHYMES.Alot of HIP HOP group's like the ROOTS are actually band's that write and compose thier own original music & they are not the only ones.So clearly you did not know what you are talking about.Hell JOHN has been quoted as saying HIP HOP is the only real music out right now.I don't agree obviously but the point is HIP HOP & OLD SCHOOL FUNK(Parliament , Cameo even Rick James and Prince)are huge influences on what KoRn does as a band.What you saide was alot like saying A7X is original.
As an american citizen it's my right to disagree that's # 1 #2 as stated and very well known buy myself and anyone else that has been listening to KoRn from the beginning.They are heavily enfluenced by HIP HOP.You ignorant teenaged male bimbo.Why do you think they got DALLAS AUSTIN to produce the last album.He's a HIP HOP PRODUCER YOU MORON.He's worked with NELLY J.Z. etc.Before you talk sh** you might want to make sure you know what your talking about d***LESS.Now on that note shut the f*** up and go back to your circle jerk.It amazes me how many song's that J.D. rap's on or should I say attempted to rap on(It's not that easy and he is not good.Although better than Fred Durst)& you high school level moron's don't see the connection to this day.Hell the twisted transister video had nothing but RAPPERS IN IT ! WAKE UP YOU IGNORANT DIPsh**'S !!!!!!.In closeing It's good to support your band .It's bad to support a band and not know what your listening too.Now if you still don't get it(and you probably don't get a lot of thing's)EAT A d*** !!!!!
Korn is obviously influenced by HIP HOP...When Lil Jon, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, and David Banner are in your video...And when Your frontman is wearing a GRILL in the other video, at that point...(Fill in the blank)...I rest my case...
kiro, I feel ya...
BLACKDOG, when you get a chance, get some songs by Dir en Grey, apart from the fact its in Japanese, you'll love it...
Nothing more than an excuse to learn the language.I've got entirely too much manga that does not have an Engish sound track to keep ignoreing the fact that I may need to learn to speak Japanese.I can count to ten though.Although my accent is probably horrible.
lol. he must be a bad guitarist if he thinks korn stuff is hard to play!
this is korn tabular: D|--0-0--0-0------0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-----0-0---0-0--|
compared to a Behemoth tabular: |----------------------------------------------------------|

I'll second the bid on Dir en grey. Check out some tracks from Kisou, Vulgar, or their Withering To Death albums. You don't need to know Japanese to really feel the music. Lyrics and vocals aside, their music is awesome. I'll be going to the tour just for them alone.
If KoRn and Deftones enlisted bands such as The Acacia Strain, Remembering Never, Moria, Redfall, Scars of Tomorrow, Terror, Bury Your Dead, The Red Chord, Madball, On Broken Wings, Between the Buried and Me, Scarlet, Catherine, Hoods, First Blood, etc, to play on that FN stage, it would be the sickest thing to happen . Just think, HARDCORE / METAL CORE, plus the bonus.... deadly pits. HOLIE sh** nuff said, my nuts hurts
Wow...found myself doing a doubletake when I saw Lord Agony post in something positive about Korn...I think I actually twitched...That being said, welcome back Lord Agony....
Can't say I'm crazy about most of Korns output from 1998 forward...especially the "Otherside" stuff, but I would love to hear them play "Clown" "Ball Tongue" and "Blind" again....I was a mere 14 years old when I heard Korn for the first time and between them and Pantera I was sucked back into metal during the alternative and grunge era...
I would catch the show just to maybe recapture a glimpse of my past and enjoy the f*** out the Deftones....
First of all I think that Korn should be exluded from the bill, seriously...I want to more people to know about Dir En Grey because they are a sick a$$ band and definitely need more credit. If anything Korn should open for Dir En Grey. More people should listen to Jrock because what can I say? It's good and it's different and you dont need to understand crap to enjoy their music
good day
The only reason I'm really going is to see Dir en Grey, FINALLY they are playing smaller cities!
And Flyleaf is an awesome newer band too.
I'm going to the virginia beach concert also, stupid non-existant to bands WV.
I'm going by myself though...im going to end up getting killed by moshers and no one will know for days. whoo!
It been a while, Deathbringer. I know things went to far with KORN AKA KRAP articles. I plan to work this baloney sh** out with you. You have to at least bring me back in the site and maybe we it a better relationship. Deathbringer please take notice of this comment!
What i'm simply trying to say is a comeback, But it's your choice...i simply insist with respect! Till we meet again.
SO SAYS......LORD AGONY
y r all u haters hatin? all these bands coming together isnt for n e of u. its 4 music itself n true music fans.. how the f*** u think we got all this crazy music 2day?i dont think n e one looks at the picture within the picture. yeah we r all fans but when it comes down to it u cant have a negative outlook on progression. and thats what this tour is about.all different kinds of music comin together.what the fukk is wrong with that.bcuz its not pleasing 2 u individually.fukk that. to all u deftones fans sayin sh** bout korn n vise versa. did u know ?they were actually each others support back in the day when they played in each others hometowns, with EACH OTHER.and all this happend when none of u fukks were there so know ur sh!t b4 u start thinkin u know.true music fans
hmmm well why i can't argue the number of followers you have i CAN argue that the collective intellegence of this autistic "group" may actually rival that of the processed dinner i left on your moms chest a few hours ago.
this has become nothing but annoying and i call upon you deathbringer to put an end to this pointless a$$hole...i will send a thank you card and gift basket of your choice.
Red Devil, YOU SUCK! Slayer owns you
Agony's back? Whoa...Yo Agony, I never thought I'd say this, but WELCOME BACK...Oh yeah, hey guys, UPDATE ON ME...So yeah, reasons why I haven't posted my usual daily views...
I'm not even supposed to be online right now, because I was already grounded from the computer...
I was giving [my friend] Andrew back his butterfly knife yesterday, and while I was in class, some idiot goes "Hey whats that in your pocket? Scissors?" and asks it in front of [my english teacher] Mr. Tobey who was a former cop...So Tobey checks me, and takes the butterfly away, and I was BEGGING for it back, cuz it wasn't mine, but he said no, and later in 6th Pd, I was sent to [Principal] Dalton's office, and Officer Tipton padded me down and now I'm on ten day suspension with a recommendation for expulsion. But I'm gonna take my classes in the SOS (Support on Suspension) program at the Community Center. I'm definitely expelled for the rest of this year, if not expelled for good, from either South Lakes High or any school in Fairfax County [Virginia]. I have an expulsion hearing some time next week, and Because bringing the knife to school is also against the LAW, I have a hearing in court as well...I'm told to expect a full on interrogation by an officer where he will pull a Michael Crowe on me (If you don't know who Michael Crowe is, google the name, and you should read of his interrogation by police. He was a preteen interrogated for the murder of his sister, and they interrogated him to a point where he confessed to the murder he never commited. Then they found the real murderer, and he had a case against the police) to try to confuse me and test my reactions to him, so I must constantly keep calm and cool no matter what he says to me (even if its personal grounds where most kids could blow up and lose their cool)...Plus alot of things from even Middle school will come up, and I have to be fully honest...(Oh dear, the skeletons I have in my closet)...Well...My charge is concealed weapon with a blade over 3 inches (felony)...A knife that I wasn't even going to use for combat purposes...So now I'm grounded (I sneak on the computer to talk to you)...Wish me luck? Alot of you here, i'm glad to have had the time to talk to, and open up to...
I have not been caught doing most of the things I've done, the only thing they'll recall is my run-in with police for the last two felonies, and Stuff that I've been caught in school about...I know I messed up, now I'm just gonna do what I gotta do...And Believe me, I'll say nothing BUT the truth. Most of the violence and vandalism, I haven't been caught with...Most of my fights with people were beyond police, and most of the people I fought/harmed was either in defense, or because THEY harmed someone I cared for. You know I'm protective of my loved ones, and I'll do anything in my power to protect them, or avenge them. I will do nothing unprovoked, and without just cause. The knife thing, I just wasn't thinking, my fault, bu teverything else, not only unnoticed by the system, but it would be justified, even if I was caught doing THAT....But yeah, I will do what I must to maintain whatever I need to maintain...Now its just me waiting impatiently for the hearing with the County SChools Administration...
Can't wait to see the Deftones once again, they put on a killer show at taste of chaos and showed those fa**ot emo/hardcore bands whats up. Anyways, Korn will be interesting to see, i used to be a big fan, but follow the leader was the the last korn album i even somwhat liked. I mean come one, isnt little john in that transister video? whats the deal?
oh really lord agony's back. then how come he hasn't post ever seen. maybe it just an imposter. by the way the korn's thread will be a lot more peaceful with lord agony's out of the picture. hope this is korn first and last sellout.
