HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! KORN GUITARIST OUT!!!

 Wednesday, January 16th, 2008 at 3:47pm by

munky.jpgHOLY SHIT. Munky has just left Korn mid-tour due to “personal and family reasons.” That’s right: Korn’s current European jaunt will now feature a whopping two original members.

I mean, I suppose that Munky might return to the band, the same way that it seems the door is perpetually open for David Silvera to return someday – but really, who the fuck are we kidding? Silvera’s been away for well over a year and missed an entire album (two if you count the incredibly misguided Unplugged), and I wouldn’t be surprised if Munky is done for good, too – especially in light of the fact that he’s rumored to be recording a solo album.

I guess the real question now is, will the band be able to maintain any of its fan base with just its singer and bassist present? I mean, none of these dudes are exactly top-notch musicians, and their replacements are all generally better players than they are. At the same time, Davis doesn’t have the mystique of an Axl Rose or the reputation for being a creative mastermind like Dave Mustaine or Erik Rutan or Tim Roth, so I can’t see people caring now that the band is a borderline solo-act (sorry if I’m downplaying Fieldy’s contributions – assuming he makes a contribution).

The good news for Korn fans is that the faster this act falls apart, the sooner the inevitable overblown Motley Crue-style reunion tour will take place.

    @TTPP – That is SUCH a better headline, I’m crying b/c I didn’t think of it. Shit.

  • Niggy Tardust

    KORN SUCKS. Always have, always will. On that note, ANY band that misspells their name on purpose sucks in my book. Just TRY and think of one that doesn’t.

      Megadeth, Led Zeppelin, and I’m sure there are many more that don’t suck.

      But, for the record, Korn sucks nuts.

    FUCK YES!

  • sKrow

    Dave Mustaine a creative mastermind? hahaha, all he did was speed up traditional heavy metal a little bit, and if anyone actually buys his pseudo-threatening vocals they must have assburger’s syndrome…..Jonathan Davis has always had more charisma than a loser like Mustaine.

  • http://www.metalsucks.net Axl Rosenberg

    @ Niggy Tardust: The Beatles and Led Zeppelin both come to mind…

  • dave

    umm… megadeth

  • Niggy Tardust

    Damn you Axl!

  • Sammy

    “Hi, we are Axl and Vince and we despise Korn. We think they are one of the suckiest of the sucky nu-metal bands from the early 00s. Oh, here’s some more Korn news.”

    (p.s. this Sammy is not a Korn fan.)

  • Sammy

    …and by “this Sammy” I do of course mean the original Sammy.

  • miguel_g

    Their 1st album is pretty good (for me, at least) but that’s all.It seems that some of the band members realized that they’re no longer relevant for the mainstream media like they were in the late 90′s and the first years of this decade , so they are leaving the sinking ship.

    I’d think that the bulk of the fanbase for Korn wouldn’t be able to name more than a couple of members at best, let alone identify a situation where all the orginal members aren’t there. Munky’s oh-so-identifiable guitar sound won’t be missed as the next album plays in the background during a good old fashioned frathouse gang-rape.

  • NuMallCore Pwns Yo Mama

    I’ll be honest and say that I loved their first two albums. To me, it sounded like they took the slow heavy grooves that bands like Sepultura had and focused on that sound. After that, they went commercial, and I’ve lost all interest.

  • Cunts McFisty

    LOLZ LOLZ LOLZ! I tuned out from Ko(backwards ‘r’)n after follow the leader. That mash up with everbody’s favorite (Fred Durst) killed it. Plus the fact that everyone in that band sucks. Sure Fieldy created a “new” sound, but the simplistic nu-metal crap doesnt warrant a genre title. Dave Mustaine?!?! A MASTER-MIND?!?!?! Get your head out of your ass…

  • http://www.metalsucks.net Axl Rosenberg

    I’m more than a little confused by those of you who choose to dispute my assertion that Dave Mustaine is the “mastermind” behind Megadeth. As far as I can tell, your argument is based entirely on the premise that a “mastermind” is literally a “master mind,” or a genius.

    Unfortunately, I was using the word “mastermind” in, y’know, the traditional, ACTUAL dictionary definition of the word: “a person who originates or is primarily responsible for the execution of a particular idea, project, or the like.” In other words, Dave Mustaine is the boss of the Megadeth.

    Now, does anyone actually dispute that Dave Mustaine is the man in charge within the band Megadeth?

  • Get a life

    Axle sucks korn sucks megadeath brings suck to a new level they are all the same except megadeath is the other 2 with a little more suck. Get lives cut your hair move out of your moms basement you will never have bands metal is for people who get made fun of. I give more credit to backstreet boy fans. you are all little bitches

    • Lina

      U tell us all to get lives but ur bitch ass is on the same website running ur mouth so I think you should get a life! Korn rocks, fuck u bitch boy! XOXOXO!

  • I had your mum

    Your all a bunch of twats. So what if the band members aren’t the same anymore. Megadeth aren’t, they’ve been through a few people themselves. Before you slag off other people’s taste, take a look at the shit your probably listening to, because there isn’t many bands out there that have the original line up anymore. Munky left because his father was ill in America. I’ll laugh at you when your father is ill. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

    KORN SUCKS
    ESPECIALLY JOHNATHAN DAVIS!!

  • http://hhh korn

    u guys are fucking retarded korn is the best fucking band ever so fuck all of you fucktarted dousche bags

  • DemonicLemming

    Korn sucks. They do have good beats occasionally, but hearing Jonathan Davies whine, constantly through every song, ruins what little the band does have going for it. Plus, all their shit sounds the fucking same.

    Shit, I didn’t even know they were still an actual group making music. Relevance and Korn are about as far apart as Boy George and a hot female.

  • jonathan

    you people are stupid, apparently you do not know about good music and missed the whole point because your IQ’s are to damn small.
    thanks for being stupid!

  • Balboa

    Too bad Jonathan Davis doesn’t whine. More imbeciles talking about a band they’ve never even listened to and that they know absolutely nothing about whatsoever. The same old cliche’ lies, exaggerations, and generalizations.

    One guy even implied their music appeals to “frat guys.” Nuff said.

  • http://yourgayinternet bob

    old korn is the shit. it used to sound so wierd that it kicked ass. now they just suck. no anger anymore.

  • Kyle

    Lol.. The funny thing is that your too much of a dumbshit to know that he didnt quit xD. His dad died. Korn rules and always will… Love them or hate them they changed rock and will be in the hall of fame

    • Lina

      I love the way u explained to all these stupid fucks about Munky’s father baby….U rock Kyle!

  • Kyle

    and if you hate korn so much i would supose you wouldnt pay attnetion to them and you would fuck off…lol

  • Lina

    Munky baby I luv you & dont listen to all these stuped fucks, im sorry to hear about ur dad and welcome back to the band. I was at Edgefest in Little rock on aug,15th and u rocked like u always have!Love ya!

  • pd

    korns good in my opinion. heavy split chorded breakdowns n shit. chEAAA! but they certainly are NOT the best. when a band is discussed i like how ppl say they SUCK or they are GODS. Either or never just Okay. and mustaine rules after the Metallica thing. having to drop every recognised riff metallica gained thru dave had to have been tough. mechanix wasnt to good lol in MY opinion.

  • axl is a douche

    replacement better than themselves. lack of musical identity. who are you kiddin. and this was gossip. metal gossip. maybe you do like pop culture more than you want to admit.
