The chances of former Korn drummer David Silveria returning to the Californian nu-metal band are now even slimmer. Silveria has slammed the band’s bassist Reginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu via comments on his very own Facebook page.
Loudwire are reporting that the spat started when a fan wrote a post on Silveria’s Facebook page, asking about Fieldy’s 2010 autobiography Got The Life. The post reads:
Reading Fieldys book, he mentions you, saying how he threw down his bass and called you out to fight him and after that you two never got along, what the hell happened? Did you put him in a armbar? Lol
Silveria’s response (which you can read in full down below) was lined with threats. He says that Fieldy never tried to fight him because he is a “coward with a big mouth”, and a “wimp”. He even states that he would like to crush Fieldy “like a bitch”. Silveria also encouraged fans to spread his comments so that Fieldy might see them.
Silveria also alleges that after he left the band in 2006, Fieldy and the band’s frontman Jonathan Davis would “gang up” on guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer in order to control him. He also states that Munky has quit the band three times since Silveria’s own departure.
Korn released their eleventh studio album, The Paradigm Shift, in October this year. In his Facebook rant (below), Silveria also posits that, “The original Korn sound is gone.”
David Silveria’s Facebook comments:
Ha ha!! Fieldy NEVER threw down his bass and tried to fight me. He is a coward with a big mouth and he knows I would beat his ass like the little wimp that he is. I would love for him to talk shit to my face now. I would love to crush him like a bitch.
Feel free to share my other comment anywhere that fieldy may see it.
Sorry guys. Fieldy has acted like a tough guy for so long it’s nice to tell the truth. Not only is he NOT a tough guy but he’s a cowardly little bitch. He never tried to fight me cuz he knows I would squash him like a bug. He acted like a tough guy on tour to our staff cuz he knew he could get away with it because our crew got paid well and didn’t want to lose their jobs. He used that to walk around acting like he though he was a tough gangsta. Our entire crew laughed at him behind his back because they all knew he is a pussy. I would love to see him out somewhere with no security to protect the runt. He wouldn’t say anything because he’s totally scared of me.
Munky just puts up with them. A lot of people don’t know this but after I left the band Jon and fieldy would gang up on Munky trying to control him and Munky QUIT the band 3 times since I’ve been gone. When I was in the band I stood up to their control freak nonsense and Munky became their target after I left. It’s all nonsense because there is no reason for them to be asshole drama control freaks when they could have been cool like Munky and I and just embraced the blessing of being able to play music for a living. Fieldy and Jon had drama almost daily. I never wanted anything to do with their stupid nonsense. I just wanted to enjoy being a rock star and rock the world drama free!!
If all of these post get put on Blabbermouth so be it. It’s all true and the band members know.
The original Korn sound is gone. It’s the JD show now and it just no good.
Before I left the band he became a Christian but he just really became a judgmental self righteous idiot. Seriously.
