When doctor asked "when did you get good?(at music)" and munky said "haha, still working on it", man how humble someone could be😁😍
Munky is one of my biggest inspirations and I am currently over 6 months sober from alcohol. my last time drinking was actually at a Korn show... it was an appropriate closing to a turbulent chapter in my life. seeing Munky’s transformation the past decade (and the band in general) has given me hope I can restructure my life, settle down and still be a crazy musician.
the brain scans were fascinating and the conversation was therapeutic
thank you Dr. Amen & James 🙏
I think korn might be responsible for peoples drinking addictions but it’s good too see what munkys doin now
@@geraldhoffman2606 no, they're not responsible
It'll be one year in April since I quit
awesome!! i'm still rocking right now @@claymack1109
Munky is definitely one of my biggest inspirations. I’ve been trying to get over some bad habits myself and seeing him be open about being sober reminds me that healing will take time and determination.
Thank you, Munky, for being so brave and open about your experiences and sobriety. You will always be appreciated and loved by me and every fan out there! ❤
Munky has the coolest dreads ever.
Yeah
He's had them since the late 80s. He's the real deal. Love Munky
I like this dude, you don’t hear enough from him. Very very descent human. Not what I expected.
Wow, this was surprisingly deep in a good way.
I’m happy for Munky and grateful that he is sharing his story with us.
I don’t get why all doctors don’t see a scan of the brain before they medicate people. Why isn’t this the common protocol. This video is so informative; like a master class for free. Thank you Dr Amen!🤗
Private insurances will work wonders
Scans should be mandatory. It’s like we’ve gotten to heal with the other band members but munky has been said to be the sweetest most kind individual as long as he’s sober. I’m so thankful I saw this. He is an inspiration on and off the stage.
Dreads are Definitely next level.
I was adopted and feel the same way…identity issues, abandonment, etc.
Your mother wanted you to have a better life than she could give you!!!
James is the most humble dude.
Thank you Munky for being so honest and revealing such deep personal emotions. I have so much respect for you, and wish you only a healthy, happy life. You have such a beautiful, loving wife and 3 amazing children with Evis. You have so much to live for. You’ve got this!
Man he really comes across as a grounded and decent person. Congrats on getting the family you deserve.
Munky is a genius, total music legend
I grew up listening to Korn and going to their concerts. As someone in the very early days of sobriety myself, it's so inspiring to see someone like Munky come so far and leave behind what was damaging to his life.
Awww he has been thru alot, he is a great guy. And I'm glad he was able to get sober and live his life for his family. Proud of you man 🥰 I'm proud of all you guys!
Munky your musical ability that you have shared is insane. Im not suicidal but youve saved my life, if that mean anything to you! Ive been abused all my life. I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty... Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely love, admire and respect Munky so much! I'm a recovering alcoholic. I'm 5 1/2yrs sober. And I can relate to so much of what he thinks and how he feels.
Stay strong Munk. Legendary band with some of the worst drug/alcohol addiction in music history and they all went to war with it and have gotten better and survived. The Korn story is like no other with the amount of trials and tribulations and an absolute inspiration to those who suffer with addiction
I love watching these Munky episodes! My favorite Korn member.
I took my 12 year old daughter to see them in London last Sunday!
Thanks for helping create a metal head... Road trips are gonna be great now.
I just realized I’ve never heard James speak. I’ve listened to JD talk a million times and if you haven’t I highly recommend his recent interviews, but James is so much different than I perceived him for 30 years.
I’m so proud of you for getting sober. A lot of good people have been lost from drugs and alcohol. Stay strong I know you can do it. God be with you all
I love this guy and Head since my elementary days!
Talk about being the person that needed to see this.
When i listen to you talk about yourself,i cant make it through the interview. 😢 Thank you for speaking!!!
Here in Bako! LOVE YOU MUNKY 💗
Much Love, Many Blessings, You're Powerful and I'm so happy to see you shining your Beautiful Light ✨️
Love you too Doc! I've been following you for well over a decade on TV, books and now TH-cam 🙏🏼
He put is mom’s needs, even if only perceived, above his own. Good man!
Whoa... Came to watch as a fan of Doc & Neuro-nerd only to discover this man's personal journey has a lot of similarities to mine... Adopted as a baby, guilt in wanting to find my biological family, parents died, experience of abuse, trauma, undiagnosed adhd + addictions... Wow. Recovery is both beautiful & possible guys. Stay blessed and take charge of those thoughts 🙏💓
you are strong and loved. keep going friend
so nice to see munky in the spotlight with this. super relatable with his story on addiction and feelings of abandonment from adoption. what a great dude.
an amazing human and an inspiration for us all
love and prayers❤❤❤
Love you Munk! You’re my inspiration
brave man. thanks munky for sharingQ as much as we love korn we also understand the human side specially your older fans! we grow with you ! and to all of you that are fighting , you got it ! love for all
this guy is way humble for someone his calibre, Munky was a guitar god even before Korn, check out his LAPD stuff not only a phenomenal shredder but a killer songwriter
I love this so much! I grew up with James in Rosedale - I remember watching him start, just the beginning of addiction and drifting that direction. Then watch him rise in fame but fall apart internally. Seeing him in this video makes me smile and celebrate
ive spent months steranded in alaska in the woods and bears this happed to me once. i was stranded at sea for 700 days. i ate nothing but bacon, eggs, steak, shrimp, corn, cheese, butter, hambugarm, chckein,cheese, butter, corn
Thanks for opening up like this Munky 🙏
Huge inspiration 🙏
Munk you are amazing I'm proud to call you brother!!
Great talk. I like how he approaches thoughts.
Munky and head are bad ass together when they play guitar I love that heavy ass 7 string sound hopefully there around for a good bit longer and please come to Baltimore it's been 24 freakin years I've saw korn in va/dc but the ride there sucks
You will be alright James. Love and Prayers
I love His music,
Thank You . God Bless you both 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have learned something from this video
I gave this guy guitar lessons. I talked to him about his drinking, I thought he was gonna die. He called me every name In the book. Now he's repeating everything I said to him. I dunno If I should be mad or not lol .
Thank you for sharing!
Dude rules 🤘🏼
I love Munky Korn rock it's so good to hear him talk about something like this 🤘🤘
Congrats Munky. Stay strong brother.
James Munky RULES...
Thank you Munky for sharing.
Truly genuine dude. Love it.
This is very inspirational, I enjoyed this very much. I don't know how I got here but this comes at a time where I need to settle down and focus on health and my family. Thank you Korn and Munkey for this good and needed boost of motivation. 🤘
Thank you for sharing
Aww it’s really tough to lay it all out like that. To be vulnerable. I hope he finds God. He’ll even heal more. God talks about self-control and discipline as well. The gravity is your demons that keep pulling you in. Until your delivered!
Im here for u munky i love u 😫
Great story Respect.
What a great video.
KoRn forever
Nice interview
I would of been where he was at 40. Sober. If this bs never spawned from the demons on earth. Happy for Munky. ❤️🩹
When was this filmed?
Munky 🐒 get well soon!
Is this the 1st time he talked about sex abuse?
This guy was adopted 😮
Yeah I didn't know either. I've been a fan since 1994.
Yeah he was
Yup I found out maybe a year or two ago. I also had a hunch he was Latino. I remember him saying he was Mexican when he was joking around one in a video but it all makes sense now
@@raulfigueroa588 Yeah he was confirmed to be Mexican and Native (Indigenous)
Yes, he was adopted, and he also cut off the tip of one of his fingers (Much like Tony Iommi) when he was sneaking out of his house to go to a keg party, he got his finger stuck in the chain on his 3 wheeler that he was going to drive to the keg party haha. They had keg parties out in fields in the middle of nowhere out in Oildale, which is only about 3 miles away from his parents home in Bakersfield.
Just do what Brian is doing that way your free either way... and Evan then you'll be free walking with god
Ohh yeah it’s that easy. Gtfo
Absolutely unnecessary.
Would be awesome if James Munky becomes a Christian like Brian Head
He barely ages.
Your sobriety is the and strongest, this so call doc wanted you to fall so he can say he's helped you, your wife and your family have already done it. Don't let your pass hurt your family you are a part of history around the world.
Ok but the question is
Is your life any better without alcohol?
I have 46 years, no friends,no wife, no girlfriend, no kids.... Family 5 or 6 peopke o know,i hate my job, i hate the olace i live, i hate the house i live, i live alone fir 20 years.
I have only one good thing, financialy i am ok, i would say above average but the rest is a big hollow.
I drink 1 or 2 times per week heavily and i forget about my shit life.I dont drink five days.
His mom should had pressed charges against the abuser if she knew about it
munky better on druygs icl
Ok Bunny going
