Munky
Biographies: James Shaffer


Real name : James Shaffer
DOB : 06/06/70
Lives(d) : Rosedale, California
His career started from an accident, in which, the top of his finger was cut off by a biking incident. He was sneaking out to a party one evening and the chain slipped off his bike. To stop any adverse noise, James quickly slapped his hand on the chain, his finger was caught, and the top was cut off.

During the High-School years, James became friends with a guy, who went by the name of Brian Welch. Who wasn't only a friend but also, a fellow guitarist. It seemed enviable that James and Brian were destined to be in a band together and L.A.P.D proved that. With James originally joining the band full-time and Brian joining the fold later for touring duties. L.A.P.D also sported two other Korn members, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (Bass) and David Silveria (Drums). Eventually, L.A.P.D became Creep, and then from Creep to Korn.

Munky sees a different persona of himself the second he steps on stage. This reflects in the clothes he wears in the live set. Munky sports old overalls, which are "Kinda, trashy, dirty...". He continues "Really what it is, it's like that person I don't like in me, all the things I hate about myself, that's who I am up there".

His nickname stems from his feet. In which, when they are spread out, they look like monkey hands.

Fieldy
Biographies: Reginald Arvizu


Real name : Reginald Arvizu
DOB : November 2, 1969
Lives(d):Bakersfield, California
Fieldy was already acquainted with the guitar from a very early age. His father used to play in a band with Rick Davis, Jonathan's father. So Fieldy and Jonathan were quite familiar with each other. Fieldy also used to bully Jonathan, "I'd run him down with my three-wheeler," Fieldy adds.

Fieldy's worst job included being employed as a door to door Plant Salesman. "I did good the first day, I was like 'Yeah! I got this down'. I went to my Mom's house and everybody we knew, and sold to them. The next day, I didn't sell shit. It sucked. I got fired".

Fieldy currently resides in Belmont Shores, California. A Californian suburb which is located 60 miles west of LA.

Fieldy is also the mastermind behind each and every piece of Korn merchandise "All the merchandise you see, that's all me". He states. "I think everybody could do it. I think everybody's just lazy. So I end up being the one that does it all. I come up with a bunch of designs, show them to the band. They either approve or disapprove".

May 1998, Fieldy married his girlfriend, Shela. They have three daughters, Serena, who was born on September 30 1997 and in December 98' Shela gave birth to Olivia.

Fieldy's namesake stems from his cheeks! "When I was younger, I had these fucking chipmunk cheeks, right... so they called me 'Gopher', and then it became 'Garf'. Then they started callin' me 'Garfield'. Then it became 'Fieldy'."

Biographies: Jonathan Davis


Real name : Jonathan Davis
DOB : 01/18/71
Lives(d) : Bakersfield, California
Jonathan grew up in Bakersfield, California. A suburb of California, which is located 120 miles from Los Angeles. "There isn't much to do in Bakersfield apart from do drugs, fuck and have a kid." States Jonathan. When Jonathan attended Highland High School he was alienated from his peers because of his artistic leanings. Due to this, Jonathan had the words "HIV" tattooed on his upper-right arm. Basically it's a "Fuck you to everybody" who called him a fagot. He also sports two more tattoos, the Korn logo, which is located on Jonathan's lower torso (lower back). And a tattoo of a Crazed Bishop, which Jonathan describes as "Showing how crazy and fucked up religion is."

At the age of sixteen Jonathan became a coroners assistant for the Coroners Department in Kern County. Jonathan then went on to graduate from the San Francisco School of Mortuary Science. Jonathan was also a manager of a Pizza Hut restaurant. "That was fun! I got everybody high on speed. I was rockin', cos I was a manager," says Jonathan. "The worst fucking job I ever did was as a janitor at a county building, in the cafeteria. That was horrible. I had to mop all the fucking floors, clean all the grease outta shit and wash dishes. I hated it." He describes.

Jonathan currently resides in Belmont Shores, California. "I can see Jonathan's house from my backyard," Fieldy chimes.

It was during a local club show in Bakersfield that James and Brian, spotted Jonathan singing for Sex Art. They approached Jonathan to ask him to join the band. "I didn't want to do it, I went to a psychic, she told me I was stupid if I didn't do it." Jonathan admits.

On October 18, 1995, Renee gave birth to Nathan Houseman Davis. He had been expecting a baby girl. "My astrologer told me it was going to be a girl. My little girl has been coming to me in my dreams, and it's breaking my fucking heart."

In November of 1990, Jonathan married his long-time girlfriend, Renee. "Man! I gave her a wedding she will never forget," he enthuses. "I was fully in all armor and wearing a Kings Crown; she's a fairy. There were all kinds of little fairies and sprites jumping in the trees and shit, it was crazy," he describes.

Renee and Jon divorced in 1999, in 2002 he got married to Devon Davis. Davis being her orignal last name as well.

Head
Biographies: Brian "Head" Welch


Real name : Brian Welch
DOB : 06/19/70
Lives(d) : Torrance, California
During his school years, Brian befriended a young man called James Schaffer. With Brian being a budding guitarist, he and James would have a friendly competition with each other. Brian and James would go back and forth over each other's homes to jam.

Brian left home at the age of 17 and became employed in two jobs. During the day, Brian would deliver furniture, and at night, he would deliver pizzas. He also used to work in the L.A Recording Workshop, and would learn sound engineering, but he found it boring and left.

As time rolled by, Brian joined Ragtime, a band which were formed before L.A.P.D. Ragtime also played host to such luminaries as Fieldy and ex-L.A.P.D front-man, Richard Moral. Ragtime would later split. Fieldy and Richard Moral would later form L.A.P.D with James Schaffer joining them on guitar. Brian would often hang out with L.A.P.D. "He'd hang around and drink all our beer," James states. L.A.P.D were shortly to go on tour and the band decided that they needed a second guitarist. Enter Brian Welch. Brian and James have been playing together for more than two-thirds of their lives.

Brian currently resides in Redondo Beach, California. Where he lives with his wife, Rebecca Welch and his daughter, Jennea Marie Welch, who was born on July 6, 1998.

Brian's nickname stems from the size of his cranium. "I got a big head," He says "Go get me any hat, and it won't fit." He adds.
