KoRn Studio Update II

More stuff from Jonathan. That 80s stuff was a joke as someone pointed out to me since I was stupid enough to take it seriously, hehe...
Hello!

We're back in the studio working on our next album. We are working with Brendan O'Brien as producer this time. He's done Rage, Pearl Jam, STP, and a whole shitload of other phat bands.

Things are going well. It's been about two weeks since we started and we've already written eight songs! They are so fuckin' heavy! It reminds me of the first album... more groove oriented.

Keep checking this space daily, 'cause we'll be online daily to let you know what's going on, straight outta LA!

Peace,
Jonathan

KoRn Studio Update

Here's an update from Jonathan. I'd have to say I'm real dissappointed at the direction KoRn is heading.
** JON'S STUDIO UPDATE #2 **
Whas up piiiiimppps and piiiiimpppettes!

So we're still just working on the songs, and we've realized that they remind us of other bands, so we are naming the songs after old 80's bands. Um, I started on vocals today...just trippin' on some melody ideas. I'm also setting a studio up in my house so I can work when it hits me. Stay tuned, 'cause I'm gonna put a 24-7 live webcam in there, and you never know what I might be up to!

Thanks for checkin in again, and woowoowoowooooowoowoowoo!

Peace,
Jonathan

Korn Track Used In Puma Commercials

Korn may have embraced the old childhood adage of "All Day I Dream About Sex" ("A.D.I.D.A.S.") on 1996's Life Is Peachy, but it's athletic shoe and clothing manufacturer Puma that is set to reap the benefits of the neo-metal act's soaring popularity.

Korn's current single, "Freak on a Leash," will be featured in the company's first-ever branding campaign (meaning the advertisements highlight Puma as a company rather than a specific product), according to Amber Fredman, Puma's entertainment marketing director.

"We think Korn is a perfect fit between our campaign and the hardcore consumer market," says Fredman. The first three spots featuring Korn will debut during the Super Bowl XXXIII pre-game show on Fox on Sunday (Jan. 31).

The endorsement should come as no surprise to Korn fans, considering the band has been seen outfitted in Puma athletic wear nearly everywhere they go since the release of their most recent album, Follow the Leader, including onstage and in their publicity shots.
1/30/99

Davis on Limp Bizkit

New Video

As Korn prepares to wind down its post-Family Values tour with a concert at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium on Friday, the band is getting ready to film its long-awaited second video.

Korn will be shooting the clip for its next single, "Freak on a Leash," on December 13 and 14 in Los Angeles with "Spawn" creator Todd McFarlane, along with the directorial team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

Plans currently call for the video to be a mixture of animation and live performance footage, a move which harkens back to McFarlane's lastvideo credit, as he helmed the fully-animated video for Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution." The renowned comic-book artist also created the cover art for Korn's current album, "Follow the Leader."

The directing duo of Dayton and Faris have won more than their fair share of Video Music Awards for their work, which includes videos for the Smashing Pumpkins, Scott Weiland and Neil Finn.

Korn's video for "Freak on a Leash" is expected to start airing on MTV in late January. - mtvnews.com

Korn Cancel New York Show Due To Lead Singer's Exhaustion

Doctor's orders cancelled a scheduled Korn concert at RPI Fieldhouse in Troy, N.Y. on Wednesday (Nov. 4), due to exhaustion on the part of lead singer Jonathan Davis, according to Peter Katsis of The Firm, the band's Los Angeles-based management company.

"Jonathan has reached a point of exhaustion and it was suggested by a doctor that he sit out a few days," says Katsis. "The doctor basically said that if we are planning on finishing the last three weeks of the tour, we"d better give him a rest."

Korn had an already scheduled day off Thursday (Nov. 5) and, according to Katsis, Friday's show at the Mullins Center in Amherst, Mass., will go on as scheduled. The band apologized to fans in Troy and will reschedule the show at a date to be determined.

The final date of the band's current tour is scheduled for Nov. 21 in Nashville. Korn set out on the Family Values tour, which just finished up on Halloween, on Sept. 22 (allstar, Aug. 13).

New Album Promotions

Korn is hitting the "Kampaign Trail" for a concept retail promotional tour that threatens to wreak havoc wherever they go. The jaunt -- in support of the band's forthcoming Follow the Leader (Aug.18, Immortal/ Epic) -- will hit record stores in 15 cities.

"It's an election year and Korn has always been about taking their music to the streets, to the kids," explains The Firm's Jeff Kwatinetz, Korn's manager, of the concept. "It's not all about mainstream avenues, not to say that MTV or radio don't factor in, but it's mostly about street- level campaigns. So we're going on the Kampaign -- with a K -- trail with Korn and their 'Family Values' platform. We'll be doing Kampaign stops to see the kids. It's going to be a circus."

When asked if it would be similar to Marilyn Manson's live performance of "Antichrist Superstar," in which Manson speaks as if from a political podium, Kwatinetz answers, "There will be elements of a mock political press conference; we just don't want to do the same ol' kind of promotional tour. At the same time we don't want to discount that either, so we'll have stuff for kids to sign, while wreaking havoc."

In other Korn news, the band's official Web site, http://www.korn.com, will be back in action on Aug. 1. The revamped site will now include a news section for the latest Korn happenings, and will house the group's Korn-TV After-School Specials.

Tid-Bits

Here are some small pieces of news.

Concert Date

Here is a concert date for KoRn in Japan: 08/02/98 Tokyo JPN Fuji Rock Festival

New Single

Fans who are eagerly awaiting a taste of the new Korn album won't have to wait as long as they had originally thought. The first single from the band's upcoming "Follow The Leader" album, a track called "Got The Life," will arrive at radio stations across the country next week instead of the early August date originally slated.

Spokespeople for the band say that the song's release date has been moved from August 4 to July 28 because some stations have been airing a bootleg version of the track.

Fans hoping to actually get their hands on the new Korn will have to wait until August 18 when "Follow The Leader" arrives in stores.
7/28/98

Album Cover

Here is what Jonathan Davis had to say about the cover of their new CD, Follow the Leader. I found this at Rocktropolis. You can check out a crappy version of the cover here.

"He turned down every other band but us," enthuses Korn's lead singer Jonathan Davis about Spawn comic book artist Todd McFarlane creating the album artwork for Korn's forthcoming Follow the Leader, due Aug. 18 on Immortal/Epic.

Davis explains the art (pictured above): "It's a million kids going down a cliff, Hobbit-looking children. They're playing hopscotch, and on the last square they jump off a cliff and Earth's below. It's in coppers and black." Along with McFarlane, the artwork was also created by Greg Capullo, with coloring by Brian Haberlin and the cover design by Brent Ashe. Ashe works for Todd McFarlane Productions, while Capullo and Haberlin have worked for McFarlane as independent contractors.

Korn's manager Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm explains the artwork concept further: "On the first album, the cover had a girl by the swing, and the second was a kid looking in a mirror. This one is not the same girl, because it's animated, but it's that girl kind of jumping off this cliff, and it shows hordes of kids following."

Korn and McFarlane joined forces before, when Korn and the Dust Brothers contributed the track "Kick the P.A." to the Spawn soundtrack last year, and a Spawn comic book mentioned Korn in an issue.

Family Values Addition

Rammstein has been added to the Family Values lineup. I guess Rob Zombie was dropped for some reason. Here is the complete lineup for now: 7/23/98

More New Album Newz

Korn has a few special musical and visual treats in store for fans beyond their new album, Follow the Leader, which is due Aug. 18 on Immortal/ Epic.

First, the album itself will feature a multimedia component, which includes the never- before- released- commercially video for "A.D.I.D.A.S." and album artwork by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, for which lithographs of the artwork signed by Korn and McFarlane will be given away via radio and retail promotions. Korn will appear with McFarlane at a comic book convention in San Diego Aug. 14-16 as well.

But there are also a few added bonuses. With the purchase of Follow the Leader at various national music retail chains, an added- value CD will be given for free. Some of those added- value pieces are a 14-song sampler that will include an outtake from the Follow the Leader sessions titled "Don't Forget That," along with tracks by Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Powerman 5000, and others.

Another bonus CD will be the remix EP of the album track, "All in the Family," which features Korn singer Jonathan Davis and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst trading vocals. The four remixes are by DJ Clark Kent, Level X, and Scarecrow Adams, and it was serviced as a promotional CD for clubs in early June. The other bonus CD is the "Good Life" single from Korn's 1996 platinum album Life Is Peachy by German act Rammstein.

The retail chains the added value CDs will be available at and specifics have not been determined yet.

Family Values announced

Here is the word from Rocktropolis for the up-coming Family Values tour.

Korn's long-awaited Family Values tour is finally upon us. The five-to eight- week tour will kick off Sept. 23 with Korn, Ice Cube, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, and Orgy and hit indoor arenas (12,000-18,000 seaters) for under $30 a ticket. Exact tour dates and venues are expected in the next week or so.

Korn bassist Fieldy explains the tour's genesis: "Shows like Lollapalooza have too big of a variety of music, rather than all the same vibe. So, we decided to put our own tour together with the same vibe."

When asked if the hard rock Family Values tour will compete with the metal-minded OzzFest, Fieldy says, "OzzFest is more metal and you see people 25- 40- years- old. You come to Family Values and you're looking at 10- 25- years- old."

The tour is put together by Korn, Jeff Kwatinetz and Michael Green of Korn's management company The Firm, and John Scher of Metropolitan Entertainment and is booked by the William Morris Agency.

Kwatinetz says the tour, which has been talked about since last summer, will "be heavy on production." The stage will revolve so there's little down time in between bands, but, Kwatinetz says that that down time will include some surprises. "The concept of the tour is really to get production and excitement back into rock and roll," he says. "Korn and Limp Bizkit and Zombie are all really theatrical type bands. We're giving a lot of value for the money."

Meanwhile, "Got The Life" has been selected as the first single from the band's forthcoming album, Follow The Leader. It hits radio the first week of August. The album's out Aug. 18 on Immortal/Epic.
