Q: Who does what on Earache in My Eye?
A: David plays the bass, Jon plays the drums, Munky and Head switch guitar parts, Fieldy and Cheech handle the vocals. Top of Page
Q: How did the band come up with the name, Korn?
A: While at a party, two homosexuals were felching. The skin of a kernal of corn got wedged in one of their teeth. (That happens because the outer coating of a kernal can't be digested and will be whole in the crap.) Jon would say, "Corn!" to anyone who knew the story to gross them out. He took a black crayon and wrote Korn with his left hand, to imitate a way a child would write corn. Top of Page
Q: What does Jonathan's tattoo, HIV, mean?
A: It's a sort of an "agreement" to the faget term dubbed to him by his peers. Jonathan also states that in the moment of lust, he looks at that tattoo, admitting it has probably saved his life because you don't know who has AIDS. Top of Page
Q: What is the "static" at the end of Issues for?
A: It was actually a hidden track, I Am Going Crazy, but it was covered up. You can listen to IAGC by recording it and playing it backwards. Top of Page
Q: What are the 48 seconds of silence on the first 13 tracks for on Follow the Leader for?
There are a few theories on this...
*In memory of Justin. He was a dying boy they met through the Make a Wish Foundation. He also has his own song on the album too.
*Justin may have died 48 weeks before the release of the album. Top of Page
Q: How do you make the backwards "R" on the computer?
First of all, understand that this only works on websites, and message boards, and some other things. You have to type the and sign(&) followed by the number sign(#) then, 1071. Type all this with no spaces. The final result is the glorious Я. Top of Page
Q:Does Jonathan really have HIV (aids)?
A: No. The reason for the HIV tattoo is that Jonathan was called "fag" in high school all the time. By having this tattoo, he was defying what they said. Top of Page
Q:Where is the band from?
A: They are from the somewhat small town of Bakersfield, California. All five of the members agree that Bakersfield or "B-Field" is the scum of the Earth. Of course, this town keeps experiencing more and more tourism thanks to the greatest publicity they could ever hope for. Top of Page
Q:Why is Brian called "Head?"
A: He says himself that he has a big head. "Get me any hat and it won't fit." The guys called him that and it's sort of stuck since then. Top of Page
Q:Who is that shadow on the Self-Titled album and what is he/she holding?
A: For some reason, the band has never cleared up exactly who it is, but it has been confirmed that he is holding a horseshoe. Top of Page
Q:How did the band come up with the title "Issues?"
A: There is a rumor about this topic saying that Fieldy was flipping through Jonathan's lyric book and said to him, "Man, you got issues." Top of Page
Q:Is the song "Daddy" about Jonathan being raped by his dad?
A: No. On this, Jonathan said, "People think Daddy was written because my dad fucked me up the ass, but that's not what the song's about. It wasn't about my dad or my mom. When I was a kid I was being abused by someone else and I went to my parents and told them about it. They thought I was lying and joking around, so they never did shit about it. They didn't believe it was happening to their son." Top of Page
Q:What high school did Korn attend?
A: I'm not sure about Munky, David, and Head, but Jonathan and Fieldy went to Highland High School. That's the same one that Beavis and Butthead go to. Top of Page
Q:Is Jonathan Scottish?
A: Yes. Jonathan does have some Scottish blood in him. Top of Page
What nationality is Fieldy?
A: Fieldy is half Italian and half Mexican. Top of Page
Who is Caco?
A: Caco is Head and Munky's guitar technician. He also arranging the guitar effects on Follow the Leader. Top of Page
