Korn Drummer On "Temporary Hiatus"

Band Photo: Korn (?)

Korn taped a performance over the weekend for MTV's "Unplugged" series without drummer David Silveria, who's stepping away from the group for awhile.

"I just need a break for right now," Silveria said in a press release.

According to the group's publicist, Silveria's bandmates Jonathan Davis, Fieldy and Munky will continue to record a new Korn album that's tentatively set to hit stores in June. The group also plans to head up another edition of the Family Values Tour next summer sans Silveria, though the drummer's absence is described in a statement as a "temporary hiatus."

Meanwhile, Korn's "Unplugged" special is expected to air early next year on MTV, but a specific date hasn't been announced. Joining Korn for the "Unplugged" session were special guests The Cure and Evanescence's Amy Lee.

MTV.com has an excellent article with more info on the album and a blow-by-blow account of the unplugged session.

Davis writes the drum parts, Silveria plays them live and in studio, while adding and tweaking parts.

Untouchables had to wait until Silveria recovered from a freak performance accident with his wrist, some kind of nerve damage tied to an extra rib if I remember correctly.

Either way this band is disintegrating, have been since after FTL really. They've had tremendous impact but they need to pack in before the damage their legacy further (Word Up, Y'all Wanna Single all of the most recent album plumb the depths of raw sewage sh**tiness.)

Okay everyone, stop fighting over who should be on a damn forum...

First off, Korn are a bunch of sellouts now...They were somewhat cool when they started out, but they're nothing but a joke to real Metal...

I used to be a fan, and I'm telling it like it is...When you decide to listen to actual Metal bands, you die-hard Korn fans out there will understand exactly why Metalheads on here diss them, you'll realize there are musicians that dwarf Korn in skill and style. And the real Metal bands go beyond the taste and ears of mallcore goth kids buying overpriced baggy pants that fall apart within barely half a year. To Nu Metal fans, I tell you this, when you listen to better Metal like Behemoth, Nile, even Nevermore, you'll see how crappy Korn is...

How Ironic, the song is called "Y'all Want a Single", the song is all about 'fvck the mainstream music industry', yet they are one of the most mainstream bands ever. The chorus goes 'Y'all wanna single say fvck that', but at the same time, the song itself became a single. They're quite the contradiction and hypocrisy nowadays, it not even a laughing matter

at least you gotta respect korn for weaving funk metal and hip hop with other influences into what we now call nu metal.

sometimes i find that it is really sad that nu metal went the same way as grunge, only more so because it didnt die because of one musician's death, but because it died when it lost its spirit and meaning.

of course you can say system of a down kept it alive, but system of a down is not even nu metal, they're prog metal.

Spoken like a true Korn fan. Always making the assumption that an album's quality is a direct reflection of it's sales, ESPECIALLY in the United States.

I'm sorry you have your head up your ass, but if a song like "Twist" is your idea of meaning or message, you're probably the one jerks it to hobbit movies.

Korn lost their direction and anger....
The errie minimalism, the screams that really came from the gut, that stuff can be faked but I felt it was authentic.

Theres a reason "Good God" is titled as it is, those were my exact words in reaction to Davis' tantrum in the last minute of the song...I Didn't even know the title. Good stuff.

Listen to how differnt Follow the Leader is from the first two....Or for that matter Otherside is vs any other release.

FTL was generally less engaging in terms of craftsmanship and overtly catchy...Just more common...yawn inducing.

The masses were tuning into Korn without the FTL selloutship but Follow was sooo accessible and the hype behind Korn was so massive that they had to break through.

In my eyes this implosion can only be a good thing...except for fans who still like Korns current direction....The lyrics, never great in my opinion have long since flat lined.

i feel korn should go back to their roots, to what makes them UNIQUE, by infusing heavy metal with hip hop.

than could they truly be considered good.

of course maybe they lost the power to be angry at the establisment, the will to stick to "the man".

I agree with antihippy, maybe if they went back to their roots instead of selling out so bad, maybe they'd still have some of our respect...

Wow, that's almost depressing. That someone can listen to Korn and think, "well, music can only get worse from here".

And yes, post 90 is right about who sold out the worst. Gene Simmons masterbates with that red, white, and blue d*** known as capitalism every day of his life. As for Kiss' music, it's just not my thing, ya know? I'd actually prefer some of Korn's earlier stuff to Kiss.

I'd rather listen to Kiss's poppy material (IE:dynasty,unmasked) to Korn.
I don't know I was into Korn, Slipknot, and SOAD a couple years ago until i found about bands like Iced Earth, Maiden, and more. These Nu-Metal bands just dropped from my list. Can't listen to them anymore.
