KORN Bassist Says He Spoke With Singer About Memoir

March 25, 2009

According to The Pulse of Radio, KORN bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu's new memoir, "Got The Life: My Journey Of Addiction, Faith, Recovery And Korn", contains lots of details about the band's wildest days, as well as letters of apology that Arvizu wrote to its past and present members. The Pulse of Radio asked Arvizu if either singer Jonathan Davis and guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, who are both still in the group, had read the book and offered their thoughts. "I gave one to both of them and I haven't got a comment from Munky, but Jon said he read the book," he said. "He's all, 'I read the book, it's really good, I like it.' And I was like, 'Cool, thanks.' And then he said, 'I read that letter you wrote me.' He's all, 'It made me cry.' And I was like, 'All right, man, I love you.' He's like, 'I love you too.' You know, we're brothers, it's all good. We're just in different places in our life. But I don't really care. I love him right where he's at."

Arvizu says he wrote the letters to apologize for his bad behavior in the past, which he says almost destroyed the band. He also wrote to ex-members Brian "Head" Welch and David Silveria.

"Got the Life" details Arvizu's struggles with drug and alcohol addiction during KORN's early years and how he became a born-again Christian to help get his life together and get sober.

Arvizu is the second member of KORN to become born again after Welch, although he didn't quit the band like Welch did in 2005.

Davis said that many of the lyrics on the new KORN album, which the band will begin recording later this year, will tackle organized religion.
