KORN Touring Guitarist CLINT LOWERY Comments On Slovakian Arrest

July 11, 2007

KORN touring guitarist Clint Lowery was arrested on Thursday (July 5) at the Hodokvas Festival in Piestany, Slovakia after a "wild, drunken night" at the event, which ended with the guitarist trashing his room. Lowery was released the following afternoon from police custody after apologizing and paying for the damages.

Commented Lowery: "I'll just say that I was in the wrong place to pull anything out of the norm. I've heard a lot of different things about what happen. I'll just say that it was the end of the tour and I was being a lil' rowdy and loud in my hotel. I guess the redneck came out a bit. It was a great tour but long and I pulled some Rock 101 stuff. Not proud of it at all. Cops were called and they took me away. It was scary enough to where it's safe to say I won't be doing that EVER again. I truly regret it. But was what it was. There's been a lot of crazy things added on to it but that's basically what happened. The KORN camp is very laid back and had nothing to do with my actions. I guess it was the 4th of July and I was representing. No, seriously, I'm lucky it wasn't worse and I'm thankful I'm back home safe. I love all of you and just know that will not be repeated and it was a very dumb thing to do. I can't beat myself up over it' I'm human and I just have to pick myself up and keep on going. The KORN tour was amazing, though. I enjoyed it very much and the people over there were great."

Lowery is the second replacement for original KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, who left the band two years ago to devote his life to Christianity.

Lowery made his debut with KORN on March 1, 2007 when the band made its first appearance ever on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".

Lowery's band DARK NEW DAY released its debut album, "Twelve Year Silence", in June of 2005. The disc featured the single "Brother".
