KORN: You know what, there is one song called It’s Me Again, while there are tons, that has to be one of my favorites, it’s crazy. STEAM: Okay, let’s get off the dubstep train and focus on you…the guitarist, what is your favorite riff, so far, from being with Korn? KORN: Twelfth Planet was my favorite but I was not involved with most of the producers that was more on Jon’s end. Out of all of the producers you worked with, especially now that Skrillex has become a very house hold name, who was your favorite producer to work with? STEAM: I’m just listing off the names here: Skrillex, Excision, Twelfth Planet. Some of them were in to it, some of them weren’t. We just wanted to see who we could collaborate with. KORN: Jon came into the studio one day and rattled off a bunch of names of up and coming DJ’s and producers, so we called them up to see if some of them wanted to come down and play. STEAM: You have a lot of heavy hitter producers on that album, how long was Jon into the dubstep scene before he approached the rest of the band with it?
That being said we’re still Korn you know? For Jon it brought new life into his music, something that is hard to do after 20 years in the business. KORN: I think that we still do what we do, but I think that it has definitely brought some new life into what we do as well. STEAM: Your latest album was heavily influenced by Dubstep, has Jon’s recent path in to the dubstep arena affected Korn at all or your songwriting process in general? STEAM: So I guess you guys won’t do that again, is that what I’m hearing? There were a lot of returns actually, because of it. A lot of people got tricked so bad that they took back their cd’s saying “no there’s nothing on this CD”. KORN: We just wanted to mess with people (laughing).
STEAM: On the album Follow the Leader do you regret starting the album on track 13? Interviewed by: James Webster & Derek Signore
