[@joshuadeshaies7266]

Man I hope Fieldy is doing ok. Everyone in this band has so much chemistry. Love this band!! Rock on!!¡

Except for Ray

[@prodbysower]

[@johncenax]

@@lllWicked he actually does in the new korn but not so much in the old korn

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Korn inspired me to start playing guitar when I was a young kid. I love them

[@Billy_bSLAYER]

Me too!!

Same

same... them and nirvana

[@shredhead4604]

Same except Sevendust a little more only for achieving similar heavy but on 6 strings dropped instead 🤘👍

[@franklyput]

I feel like Munky is the most level headed dude in the band

[@klaustrouza]

By far

[@jeffjackson5483]

He is the nicest person. He knows me, both grew up in Rosedale. Hope all is well James

[@campar1043]

He’s also known for his temper/anger, in Korns early days he admits he was angry and people didn’t want to be around him

Kage finally became a full song! lol been waiting years for it to become something. cant wait to hear Lost In The Granduer

[@FathomMane]

I literally cannot wait for this album release

[@lyricalundertkrrr6228]

I heard it already. It's such a good song!

[@wilson9d71]

Same!!

[@crucifire9224]

What youd think

[@Cobhc2024]

@@crucifire9224 i honestly wasn't sure how i felt it about it at first lol its a bit of an odd one for me for some reason, but its definitely grown on me last few days since it was released! Actually really like it. That opening Kage riff really gets stuck in your head lol

[@emesar5233]

Munky is So Humble & appreciative of each member and their talents. Such a Good Guy! Thank you Korn!

[@joes.2788]

He reminds me of Kirk Hammet.

[@rachelreid4951]

k he literally just said one of the best records in their catalogue was Untouchables. Thank YOU.

[@rachelreid4951]

I rest my case.

[@jehanariyaratnam2874]

Head didn’t like it though

[@Darkhalo314]

I liked a few songs on that album, but it just didn't excite me quite like Issues and Follow The Leader did

[@GucciButNotGuilty]

One of the best sounding, sonically

[@kepherw]

Great interview! Munky sounds like a really nice person. It would be very nice if they would tell us about each of the songs on Requiem..

[@nickinthebeer]

Uee anche tu qua

[@kepherw]

@@nickinthebeer Dove sono i Korn, sono io… 😜😁

[@suisicaedere]

It would be great if each band's member tell some information like Munky did!

[@adamturner1563]

Very happy with how it's all sounding. One of the best live bands ever. Different level Band

[@wilson9d71]

Great interview, lovely guy too!! Korn maturing so well growing into a new sound

[@prodbysower]

I love the they're still with the flag of the ''New Metal'' because every album its totally different and they always still keep doing new things

[@lesliefarlow5734]

I fucking love KoRn & can't wait for Requiem & new tour.On top of there band kicking ass I've got to meet them & there awesome people. One of the times I seen them when they were touring for the K3 Remember Who You Are album Jonathan came & hung out with the crowd while we were standing in line

[@MisterAaft]

Great interview with Munky!!! 🤘🏽

[@deejayross802]

Awesome interview! Thank you so much for this. Korn is the best! :)

[@lorenachilote5480]

he looks like jaclk sparrows hahha munky argentina we love you the brother of the boss of this count

[@tc-lr7tn]

Thank You! Korn, Trivium and few others keeping it real in this crazy decade. Keep inspiring and motivating true talent and love for instrumental work!

[@andrejpanic3328]

One of the hardest working Band

[@pato10111]

Not crazy on the album so far but I’ve heard Hopeless and Forgotten and its a really cool song and a fresh sound for them. Korn are at their best when they experiment and try something new.

[@pato10111]

Love the album. One of their best.

[@shuruff904]

Munky's face when he realizes The Untouchables was 20 years ago...👀

[@americanturkeyburger4997]

The best decision korn ever made was to buy there own studio years ago like they did. Music geniuses

[@therapturedmichelle]

KORN, PLEASE DO A REQUIEM TOUR WITH MAINLY REQUIEM SONGS!!! PLEASEEEEE IT'S THE BEST ALBUM OF YOURS

[@Eyehook777]

Been one of Korn's biggest fans ever since the very first week their debut album came out. This only happened once in my life: I saw the CD artwork and HAD TO bring it to the listening area at Blockbuster Music (yeah, you used to be able to preview CDs before you bought them way back in the middle ages). The cover looked so creepy with the shadow looming over the girl on the swing... And of course, this was long before all the bands copied Korn, the into guitars then that lowwww 808 kick drum > Arrrreyouuuu readyyyyyy!!!?? Been hooked ever since! Back then you'd never - NEVVVVERRRR - hear a metal band sing about molestation and abuse, being called a f*ggot, etc.. (and, of course, once all these other bands had Korn open the doors for introspective and deep lyrics like that, soon they were all doing their own cliche' variations of the "pains" they endured growing up.) I don't even have the words to describe just how much Korn has meant to me since that very first week through today and from what I've heard so far, this new album is both raw as f*CK yet polished and sonically beautiful! Munky and Head are the best team and yet so humble and without pretentiousness, they probably don't even realize how magical their mixture is. (Without Fieldy, I can't help but feel sadness even though I know he was a part of the recording, I wish someone would reach out to someone else to just get together to hang out and talk. I think if Fieldy felt how much they wanted him back, it would give him the strength and determination he probably really needs right now. ... But, of course, only they can remedy their family and know what needs to be done. Just me wishing and hoping. Damn, I'm babbling a lot here. One last thing: Has anyone else noticed the subtle differences in Jonathan's voice? It's not just melodies but he's also doing some very cool expressions on certain syllables and harmonies. Almost like having another accent or something. I'm really feeling it and I love knowing he's continually growing and always reaching for different things to do vocally. And what can I say about Ray Luzier!? Anyone who can't hear the incredible level he's propelled that "Korn sound" to just isn't listening! Yes, yes - we all love David's drumming on those 1st albums. But Korn has evolved into something very much bigger and the difference, to me, is this: Ray could emulate and play like David if and when needed but David couldn't possibly do the things Ray is doing on the drums, c'mon! (Not putting him down. Just saying for whatever reason.. whether it's skill, injury, experience, personality, musical diversity and direction, etc.. It's like Rush had a great 1st drummer on their debut album wIth John Rutsey but then they got Neil Peart and it forever changed their sound. One day I hope to meet my favorite band and let them know how much they mean to me. Love these guys!

[@dorissalamandra6002]

Loved meeting you in Cincinnati
