Korn - Symonds Street


When their co-founder found God and quit, Korn took a new direction. Ahead of Monday's New Zealand show, front man Jonathan Davis talks to Steve Tauschke. Guitarist Brian "Head" Welch quit American metal giants Korn to give himself to God last year, leaving a gaping hole in the ranks and singer Jonathan Davis dumbfounded.
Davis was stunned that his friend and right hand man would suddenly turn his back on the group they founded together more than a decade ago.
"I just felt shock," says the frontman. "We got no phone call - nothing! Just a f---ing email and that was it! I mean it was just ridiculous. It said, 'I think this band is bad, I'm going to be with God, you're negative and polluting the world, la la la.' "
