Drummer TERRY BOZZIO Says Working With KORN Is 'Really Exciting'

January 20, 2007

Legendary rock drummer Terry Bozzio, who recently joined KORN on a temporary basis to fill in for original drummer David Silveria on their next album and tour, told Ultimate-Guitar.com how he hooked up with the band and what they have planned for 2007.

"I worked with Jonathan [Davis, KORN frontman] on the 'Queen of the Damned' soundtrack, and we hit it off," Bozzio, 56, said. "His drummer, David, feels like he needs to take a break for a while. He's been at it ten years, so he's gonna kick back and I'm going to play with KORN, which is really exciting and lots of fun.

"We've been working for two-and-a-half weeks now. I just finished the last two days, pretty much eight hours a day, overdubbing on some stuff they did with the Matrix [producers] and we had written about six to eight tunes together. We'll re-record those and we're start working in February with Atticus Ross producing. So right up until the record is supposed to come out in March. I'll be busy doing that until then. And then we'll tour Europe first in the beginning of the summer and then The Family Values Tour of the States in late summer."

The release date of KORN's "MTV Unplugged" CD has been pushed back to March 6 from the previously announced February 20. The performance, which was recorded December 9, 2006 at MTV's Times Square (New York City) studios, includes guest appearances from Robert Smith of THE CURE on a cover of the CURE classic "In Between Days", and Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE lending vocals to "Freak on a Leash". The album version of the performance will also include KORN's cover of "Creep" by RADIOHEAD. Additionally, a video of the track "Freak on a Leash", featuring Amy Lee, can be seen on MTV, MTV2, and mtvU beginning next week. Tune in online at MTV.com to see the full "Unplugged" performance beginning February 10 and on-air beginning February 17.

KORN leads the list of bands appearing on the "Family Values Tour 2006" CD and DVD, which arrived in stores late last month.
