Amazing drummer but not so bright. He had the world by the balls and walked away. Then years later after failure with other bands, he wants to come back? When the band says no he talks shit about them. I missed him from korn for sure but his choice
@@bluewaterdiggers5970 Yeah its kinda annoying, granted SYOTOS was programmed drums and the band seemed to start to take the direction of "Here is what Jonathan wants to do" , and Jonathan just works with the producer directly while the band then fill in especially on Untitled and TPOT. Fieldy and Ray kinda are like backup characters almost
I dont think David cares either way...probably bc his legacy speaks for itself. The dude is and will always be a drum god to me. But then his rockstar holier than thou attitude is what led to his downfall.....for example, looking back in disdain and scoffing at what were his humble beginnings in LAPD, that shows he doesn't have an ounce of self respect or maturity one should have as an accomplished musician, which he is...but lacks any sense of intrspection in order to stay consistent their careers. .instead they refuse to accept things as they are with regards to their past, and continue to live in self denial. Everything happens for a reason. It was actually pretty stellar musiucianship for how young he was. I guess hes just not in the right frame of mind to talk about that...perhaps feeling insecure due to some kinda inferiority complex he now has with all the comparisons being made to Korn in past tense. But thats not right..I dont even think he has any genuine interest left in music at this point, as you can make out from the shitty cookie cutter bands he's been playing with. Its exactly due to this type of mentality, he doesnt seem to be too grateful for all the exposure he had to music and the people he got to work with......ultimately losing all his original influences after letting fame get to his head....and now doesn't even have half the ability he once possessed. Its always pride before the fall.
He didn't necessarily just "walk away" it was WAY more complexing than a lot of fans truly understand. It had ZERO to do with his modeling career or his restaurant business. They were all lost in life around 2006-2007 after Brian left, even Munky reached his lowest point and became a MASSIVE alcoholic...2006-2007 was a low point for the band as a whole. Munky lost his father too which put him in an extremely dark place. Also, David had issues with the songwriters they worked with on SYOTOS and his drum parts seemed to be replaced by electronic drums...and when they went on tour they had back up drummers on stage which I wouldn't imagine David was totally cool with.
@@bluewaterdiggers5970 Brian walked away from it all too but was welcomed back. Brian also stirred up a LOT of drama because Jonathan Davis is anti organized religion. Fieldy is also a HUGE douchebag too and has struggled with massive alcohol issues. It's no mystery why David and Fieldy never liked each other because they are both capable of being huge d!ckheads.
David is a legend man those first three albums set the path for many to come and his beats were such a huge part of that band they would have not been Korn with out him.
David was made for KoRn, his drumming is straight up groove and never overplayed. Ray's a professional drummer who's playing doesn't sit well with KoRn and changes the entire sound of what the band is. Ray's drumming is very overplayed and over technical, but very professional. Breaking In A Sequence is the best new band that I've heard in a long time, I'm glad that I discovered them and get to hear David's grooves again.
bruh didnt he abuse steroids as well or is that a rumor? not that its anyone's business LOL everyone shooting down the poor dude for reasons that they know nothing about...
@@mahathiadapa4687 yeaaa probably bro. But fuck, I miss David so damn much. Ray is a fire drummer but he has zero of that OG Korn groove. I fucking hope to god someday they can all come together with Dave again. Who knows.
@@sloedwn7509 David can’t play like he used to. He’s way too beefed up and stiff now and It would actually be sort of detrimental if he came back to Korn. Listen to his more recent work. He can’t play well anymoe

@@ProductofNZ do your research please. you think that's the reason? he talked about the reason in this very video too. the band went in a strange place where producers wrote for them and told them what to do. they basically toned down silverias style of playing. i can totally understand why he left
@@wm1573 I'm not making that stuff up. The other Korn dudes have been quoted as saying so. Why did David ask to come back into the band a year before Head rejoined if he hated their new music? He said himself that he hasn't listened to anything they made after he left. Why did he sue Korn for royalties and then try and steal streaming revenue after he signed a contract to relinquish his rights to the music?? (Which Korn sued him for) it's all reported dude.
I think he might miss korn, that’s a small, maybe… I think what he misses.. is having his signature style of drumming in the music… Which I kind of got the idea that he just was tired of how they started making music in 2006 on his last album with them.. I believe he just got tired of not making genuine music the way he wanted it to be… which was the reason he left. I’m pretty sure he misses the paycheck which I would too.. but I understand his reason for leaving. I played drums in bands I Didn’t like making music with.. for many reasons.. I didn’t like being pushed around to play a certain way, I didn’t like how I couldn’t write my own parts a certain way, so me not interested in playing with those particular groups.. so it’s completely understandable why he didn’t want to be there and I’m sure he didn’t give a shit about even leaving the paycheck because you’re honestly not gonna stay in something you don’t like doing it’s just not gonna work.. this is just my opinion
David being a jazz drummer instead of a metal style drummer was as big of a part of koRn's signature sound as anyone. The band haven't been able to capture that sound without him
Very well said. He brought a different element to the band, and helped separate them from the generic other bands around them. They haven’t sounded quite as tight without him, though Ray does a fine job.
Agreed. I noticed when head returned, korn's music definitely took a step back in the right direction, but its still missing something. That something being David. Their music now just really seems to have this feeling of being forced or something. Its like its generic. I have a hard time finding anything that really stands out. But if I fire up some of korns pre-2004 music, its like every song has its own appeal and character and originality.
I humbly admit that I don't understand much about drumming (the technical terminology of certain playing styles and stuff like that) but recently I always go back to Swallow from Life Is Peachy because what David did at the end (not the "punk ass sissy I'm a freak" part, way before that) was just pure awesomeness. He sped up the patterns of the drumming in a way that completely complimented the song. Somebody Someone, Beg For Me, Did My Time, Embrace, Freak On A Leash, Twist, Good God, Faget (a song that even David admits has given him "trouble" replicating the pattern during live performances because he overdid his creativity for that song or something like that, I don't want to put word in the man's mouth... it would be disrespectful. The man's music saved my life in many ways.), his whole performance in Issues... I mean pun intended Good God the man is good!!! Wish him all the best, his new band members well too and the fellas from Korn too!
Awh…🥺 dude thank you for making this awesome podcast for David.. I know I’m late. Lol but I loved hearing David’s genuine heart about korn and it’s awesome hearing he doesn’t have anything against the band members.. I know that there was even a podcast with David.. David is a legend and an iconic drummer! Of our century! and I think David should just be out there more with the community.. we all love David every fucking fan here loves David❤️ this was an awesome podcast. Thank you so much for doing this.
Always will love David from bottom of my HEART..when I was 17 listening to them im 42 now..i went to all Kat fest with them throughout the 90s and remember the sick and twisted tour with staind before that...metal would not be what it is without his influence..along with R.A.M..limp brisket ,seven dust ,all them ..but yeah Ray is the man now....he js a Beast ...but your a legend david much love and respect
@@walpurgisnacht9234 Never heard it yet. I was a dedicated fan to the new releases up until that 2011 album when it was basically techno..Path of Totality I liked even that album that's just where I stopped I have all the albums before that and the 2016 one
That's why I like your interviews because you have the balls to ask the real questions that the fans want to hear even if musicians get annoyed. Thanks for asking these type of questions!
I'm a Kornfan since many many Years. I love David when he was a part of this Band he was a amazing Drummer. But after all this time i'm scared how he looks very broken and drawn. I love Korn and I love Ray. He's also a badass Drummer. I wish David all the best for his Future and his new Band 🙏 And every band changes their style and tries out new things musically. No reason to shoot Korn like that in the comments. Nobody knows what really happened back then, everyone said something different. I don't care anymore and I don't have to get David ready for what?
I love David, but hes clearly been hitting the steroids. He has a deeper voice, swollen face, and he's huge. I hope he can find his health and get off of them. One of my favorite drummers of all time though.
You totally have it wrong man, Infact check out the Talk Toomey interview he did. I even made a comment the opposite yours saying how freaking gracious he was with all the Koran stories! I will say he does look “off” these days... check it out!
@@etotigasad9996 well seeing as good is really by your own standardss but since you need to be such a little prick about it ill oblige you Love and meth Rotting in vein A different world Punishment time Literally the entire the nothing album
Thanks for posting this interview. Love hearing from David and BIAS. Still hoping for the original korn reunion one day. Until then, I'll enjoy the present moment
David is still fucking bad ass… nothing broke him.. nothing changed. He still “ getting at it” like he would say.. this is just a new journey of his life, and this band just happens to have an iconic player in it.. and David will always be the talk with this band. But what is most important is that this is the band he’s in now and this is the project they got going on and that’s what is important..
To be fair ,korn may have gotten a better drummer,but originality will always prevail for me,that's why david will always be my favourite out of the two
@@ccshinaberry basically David is an artist. And he was very original and pushed metal to new heights. That means more than being just technically good at an instrument.
The people that don't care for Ray Luzier being Korn's drummer, probably aren't musicians themselves and only want David back for the nostalgic factor. He was sort of toxic for the band. He had his place and made his mark with the earlier music, but Ray is an all-around more talented drummer and really cool guy. He's brought a freshness to the band, which they needed. It's sad to see a guy who was in such a well known band, bump down to making music with such subpar garage/bar bands, though.
100% Agree with this. Not to put David down, because in his prime he was literally untouchable when it comes to groovy heavy nu metal drumming, BUT he lost that swagger along the years and if he ever would come back it would not suddenly sound the same. The band's sound has moved on and David isn't up to the task anymore.
I can't explain how much every Korn fan yearns for David to get back in the set. Yes it's nostalgic but he hit those taps with a pain we all felt. Now it's like yeah... the music of Korn is good, but man...David was the heartbeat that really added an aggressive release.I will always wish for a reunion but guess what... money and politics and licensing deals for multinationals and fucking hungry bigots thirsting for money will never agree to bring him back. If they did. THAT WOULD BE THE HARDEST KORN ALBUM EVER.
Ray just overplays everything every song every fill Ray never written a single drum line who someone knows him for writing it. Rays a great touring, fill in drummer and thats about it. Cant mention a single memorable composition of his
These are good questions. I wish I could know more about what happened with David and Korn. For years I never knew really what happened with him. I still don't really know it seems.
Thanks a lot, bro. Please share. BTW David and JD talked about the split in other interviews. Basically David asked for some time off after the touring cycle for SYOTOS. The band was ok with that, they did the Unplugged show and then when they started to write the next álbum David simply didnt answer Korn's phone calls ANYMORE. They had to move on. A few months go in a podcast with ExMan David said there was miscomunication within bothsides and he had some back problems back then (2006 I suppose)
To me, KoRn in their prime and irrefutably the best albums in whatever order you put em are any and only any of the ones from 94-03. KoRn, Follow The Leader, Life Is Peachy, Take a Look in the mirror, Issues, and Untouchables for me personally.
You can tell he really let go... He simply quit taking care of himself. He's the youngest one of Korn and looks the oldest... He got money go get fixed up..or take a shower dude..
i hate these excuses. just because youre in your 40's doesn't mean you automatically will look so rough. there are millions of 40-60 year old people who are in better shape than some people in their 20s
Great quetions, specially the one that what would happen if he cross paths with Korn at a festival, his answer brought a big smile on my face! and you made a great move when you asked him if he have listened to Korn's newest albums, mentioning that he gave the same answer as Max Cavalera did when you asked him the same question. All around a great interview, love the vibes the band has and hopefully they come to Peru/Southamerica soon. Have a great one Rock Talks keep up this great work!
Thanks a lot! I wanted to ask so many questions about Korn but I had to choose only a couple and I think those were the most important ones. Im glad you agree. Please feel free to check out all my other interviews in this channel and in my facebook page (sección Fotos). I already did more than 60 rock/metal interviews. Cheers!
Who cares what he looks like.......he put together one of the best drumming albums with Korn and after he left the sound of Korn sucks except a few jems. Thank you Dave for being one of the most influential drummers and all the bad ass music you've made. Wish you the best!
Well Head had to leave Korn or else he would’ve died from drug abuse, plus David blamed the band for his addictions, so I don’t think he would’ve looked younger being with Korn doing all that meth
Yeah cuz they have pro fitness gurus everyday. I'm just happy he has friends. I love korn. Always will, but I miss the original lineup like I miss living in the 90'$
Having been in a band the feeling is like being with a gf and once a member leaves or even you leave it’s bad blood. You don’t wanna see them you don’t wanna hear them you just put it in your rear view mirror and it’s almost as if that person or band didn’t exist in your world anymore
right around the time he left korn, is when all their music became trash for a good while, jonathans voice didnt sound the same. they've definitelly gotten better since then. what a shame they couldnt work it out
It just feels like he did alot when he was in korn now it feels like he has to start all over again but you know what they say start from the bottom to get to the top then again musicians are always switching band members and trying something new
But he was in a top band, and now with the bands he plays for, they're bascically bar bands... Idk if I was in his position, I could back to that level of playing again with unknowns.
The missing ingredient for Korn to sound the way they used to that Raw Power David and Fildy the rhythm session it’s untouchable tight laid-back raw so powerful but yet invigorating and soothing,we shall see if in the near future it remains to be seen
Last time I heard from David, he was an alcoholic with a grudge against Korn. Sounds like he's bitter he left. That sucks because he brought a lot to Korn. They don't need him, but he really helped create their sound.
True. He really shut the door for good himself by acting like a fool unfortunately. At first the door was still open for him when he left, but the rest of the guys could not keep guessing and secured Ray instead.
Gracias por hacerle la pregunta que todos queríamos hacerle respecto a Korn 😊 y al fin escucho a alguien más que no sea yo, diciendo que "See You On The Other Side" apesta 😂 100% de acuerdo! También buenísima la pregunta del sonido de su batería en ese álbum, siempre he querido saber que pasó ahí.. gracias hermano!
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios, Dani! Que bueno que hayas disfrutado la entrevista. Me hubiera gustado preguntarle muchas más cosas sobre Korn, pero no quería incomodar tanto. Por eso solo escogí esas preguntas. Por favor no olvides compartir la entrevista y sobretodo suscribirte!
My view changed on Korn as people for not letting the original drummer back in.. The new dude from 2007 is alright but the first 6 or 7 albums of Korn will always be the best. David was apart of the most classic era of Korn and that will forever be their prime and best work.
Remember that at first David did not want back when the door was still open for him. Then when they locked in with Ray, he then suddenly crawled out of a cave and started spewing shit against the other guys when they wouldn't immediately let him in. He himself is in fault for burning the bridgers and closing that door, but he seems to be more in peace now.
@@northtimo666 He didn't want to cone back until they let Head back in when not too long before that Head and David had met up and Head told him he would never rejoin. Time will make people want to come back or change their minds. David was with the group for the first 7 albums he has all those memories to sit on.
I always found it amazing how David's image clashed so much with the rest of the guys in Korn back in the day. 4/5th's of Korn were these grungy, homeless looking dudes with dreads and then David was literally a male model. He was the youngest in the band so maybe that naturally made him an outcast. Sometimes as a fan you just gotta sit and wonder how Korn would've ended up today if all the original members stayed together. What could've been if Head didn't get so messed up on drugs and David didn't mess up his wrist in that accident that greatly effected his drumming.
@@misschicka2831 That's not what happened at all, you're filling in a lot of blanks with your own imagination. David himself has said his wrist injury affected him and made him adjust his style as to not aggravate it. He is not the same drummer he was back in Korn's earlier days before the injury, not even close. He's still decent but not like what he was, he very much simplified his style. He was not fired from Korn either, he left after he became distant from the rest of the members of the band as he was healing from a back injury. The fire was lost and he decided not to go back to Korn once he healed. He is also on record saying this. David wasn't the one leaving that really affected Korn's sound, it was Head leaving that really destroyed them and their unique sound. They weren't Korn without him, they sounded like a side-project. The moment he reentered the fold, the classic, signature Korn sound immediately came back. It was like magic. Whereas if David were to return, it wouldn't be so drastic because Ray is no slouch and is a more technically gifted drummer than David especially now. If you think the stuff David's doing in BIAS is anything remotely as good as the stuff he did in the early Korn days than you don't know anything about drumming.
@@losferwords100 Alot of words and alot of bullshit. Korns sound did not come back with head , it was a step in the right direction but without David. Korn is just another generic sounding numetal band.
@@losferwords100 he didn't tone his drumming down. he HAD to tone it down because the producers told him to tone it down. korn stopped writing music as a band.
I didn't believe David about not listening and not having hard feelings the first time I saw it, but now watching the full interview and seeing that part a second time, I totally believe him.
"I don't hold any grudges or whatever, but if a song comes on I instantly turn it off"...yeah man, no grudges at all. If he would be a grown up man he would have no problem with that and be able to reconnect with the guys. David didn't age mentally after joining KoRn...sad.
@@brad_genx_sk8er yeah maybe, but it's hard to believe for me because if I would have been through so much stuff with these guys I would definitely would want to know what they are up to.
@@brad_genx_sk8er He should NOT join Korn lol. His drumming is horrible now days, dude. Ray blows David out of the water. David had his place in earlier Korn albums, but he was sort of toxic.
I believe all the members of Korn have been sober for sometime, and these guys are at leaste drinking, I wonder if it factors into his split from Korn.
@ROCK TALKS I know it can be hard to pick questions. But, I was hoping you would have asked David if he saw the Krazy Love Documentary and especially how he felt about Brian returning to Korn. And also about Brian getting sober.
trying to wrap my head around not being interested in even listening to at least 1 whole song since leaving a band, especially one as relevant and influential as KoRn. i'd personally want to hear what my brothers were up to without me, as well as what ideas the person who replaced me brought to the table...ESPECIALLY if there really was no bad blood or grudges as he's saying here...
@@cvblaylock that's what a fan boy and a pseudo fan would say, everyone knows Ray is technically good, Korn being better with him is a different story. cheers
Para responder tu pregunta de cuál fue el cambio que hicieron de LAPD para llegar a Korn ,fue que entró head.. el hizo la mayoría del sonido de Korn. Por eso nunca lo remplazaron.
David still sounds like hes in his twenties by talking but just looks rough. I remember pictures where his head was the smallest after or before the filming of the Make Me Bad video. I do love how Dave did joke about covering Mariah Carey XD
It's wild how important he is to music and no one ever gives him the props he deserves

hahahahahahaha
David looks like a shop teacher going through a rough divorce and living in a van down by the river.
Living off government cheese
I'm crying!!!😂😂😂😂 Shameful, but, yes I laughed until I cried reading this plus the other two before mines. The imagery, oooh the imagery.
@_NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST_ And that means what? 🤔
@_NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST_ Thing is, if you look up you’ll see the joke going right over your head.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I humbly admit that I don't understand much about drumming (the technical terminology of certain playing styles and stuff like that) but recently I always go back to Swallow from Life Is Peachy because what David did at the end (not the "punk ass sissy I'm a freak" part, way before that) was just pure awesomeness. He sped up the patterns of the drumming in a way that completely complimented the song. Somebody Someone, Beg For Me, Did My Time, Embrace, Freak On A Leash, Twist, Good God, Faget (a song that even David admits has given him "trouble" replicating the pattern during live performances because he overdid his creativity for that song or something like that, I don't want to put word in the man's mouth... it would be disrespectful. The man's music saved my life in many ways.), his whole performance in Issues... I mean pun intended Good God the man is good!!! Wish him all the best, his new band members well too and the fellas from Korn too!
Ass Itch is another gold nugget from David and early Korn
Awh…🥺 dude thank you for making this awesome podcast for David.. I know I’m late. Lol but I loved hearing David’s genuine heart about korn and it’s awesome hearing he doesn’t have anything against the band members.. I know that there was even a podcast with David.. David is a legend and an iconic drummer! Of our century! and I think David should just be out there more with the community.. we all love David every fucking fan here loves David❤️ this was an awesome podcast. Thank you so much for doing this.
You are so kind! Thank YOU! Im glad you enjoyed this one.
Always will love David from bottom of my HEART..when I was 17 listening to them im 42 now..i went to all Kat fest with them throughout the 90s and remember the sick and twisted tour with staind before that...metal would not be what it is without his influence..along with R.A.M..limp brisket ,seven dust ,all them ..but yeah Ray is the man now....he js a Beast ...but your a legend david much love and respect
Legendary drummer for sure! Thanks for watching, please suscribe!
Korns last 3 albums since head has been back are fucking heavy and amazing. I love you david but you are allowed to smile.
I just listened to the one from 2016 I had for years haven't listened to it since and it's stale as fuck. I still bump the first 6 albums heavy though
@@themadrapper101 their newest one from 2019 is good, and they made a cover of would? like 2 months ago and it is heavy and very good
The latest album The Nothing was fantastic. You are on crack.
@@walpurgisnacht9234 the nothing was awesome
@@walpurgisnacht9234 Never heard it yet. I was a dedicated fan to the new releases up until that 2011 album when it was basically techno..Path of Totality I liked even that album that's just where I stopped I have all the albums before that and the 2016 one
Korn ain't korn without David's funky groove beats period!!
His signature drumming style is missed for sure!
That's why I like your interviews because you have the balls to ask the real questions that the fans want to hear even if musicians get annoyed. Thanks for asking these type of questions!
Thanks a lot man!! Yeah that's my thing, I'm glad you noticed. Please make sure to watch all my interviews, this one with David is over a year old.
Always gonna love David's drumming 🤘🏽
David in Korn cannot be replaced period.
Anything beyond his drumming personally for me isn't Korn.
Facts
I'm a Kornfan since many many Years. I love David when he was a part of this Band he was a amazing Drummer. But after all this time i'm scared how he looks very broken and drawn. I love Korn and I love Ray. He's also a badass Drummer. I wish David all the best for his Future and his new Band 🙏 And every band changes their style and tries out new things musically. No reason to shoot Korn like that in the comments. Nobody knows what really happened back then, everyone said something different. I don't care anymore and I don't have to get David ready for what?
Hello How are you?
I love David, but hes clearly been hitting the steroids. He has a deeper voice, swollen face, and he's huge. I hope he can find his health and get off of them. One of my favorite drummers of all time though.
Miss you David, wish you the best of luck in your future.
Thanks for the good vibes!
It's nice that he didn't refuse to answer the questions about Korn but it's pretty obvious to see that he's uneasy answering them
Yeah. That's why I didn't ask more questions about Korn.
But he and Arnel Pineda didn't use a brain cell in talking about other bands. Trash talking... karma.
You totally have it wrong man, Infact check out the Talk Toomey interview he did. I even made a comment the opposite yours saying how freaking gracious he was with all the Koran stories! I will say he does look “off” these days... check it out!
I think dave regrets leaving korn seeing how well they did without him
Good? Name one song that is good after 2006?

David is so right about See You On The Other Side. But David's drumming on the first two Korn albums is insanely good.
SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS AN AMAZING ALBUM I LISTEN TO IT EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Amen to that. A lot of people say they don't like it but it is my #1 favorite Korn album. It's creepy, funky, atmospheric, and heavy at the same time.
Its a shit album
I love all of Korn's music, and I like Ray Luzier, but David was a G.O.A.T.
G.O.A.T.? What is that?
@@rocktalks5706 greatest of all time.
"Was" .. he would never be able to compare to ray anymore...
@@user-gu3ie 🤷♂️we disagree . Just curious do you prefer Korn music with Ray more than their early work?
Thanks for posting this interview. Love hearing from David and BIAS. Still hoping for the original korn reunion one day. Until then, I'll enjoy the present moment
You are welcome, sir. I agree, it is All about enjoying the present. Thanks for watching! Make sure to suscribe. Cheers!
We would get a reunion if Korn gets in the R-n-R Hall of fame, which should be a foregone conclusion.
David Silveria groove it's essential to the classic sound of korn and gave heavy music a new life and new young fans.
I totally agree!
David is still fucking bad ass… nothing broke him.. nothing changed. He still “ getting at it” like he would say.. this is just a new journey of his life, and this band just happens to have an iconic player in it.. and David will always be the talk with this band. But what is most important is that this is the band he’s in now and this is the project they got going on and that’s what is important..
Great interview! I’ll keep an eye on this band and David. See you on the other side was the last physical Korn release I bought. It rocks. 🤘
Thanks a lot brother! Please suscribe and hit the bell. More videos in the way!!!
jesus what happened to this guy. he used to be in shape and a good looking guy. he looks awful. he looks like bill murray in kingpin
Looooool
Bill Murray wasn't this heavy. David should cut down on the beers
Damn you right facts he doesn’t look nothing like in the 90s early 2000s
Steroids, my friend.
Steve Muzak so now even musicians are on steroids ....lmao
Ride on David. All the best brother with the new band
Man... this dude hasn't aged well lol almost didn't recognize him
I think they just had band practice right before the interview. Maybe thats why he looked like hang over lol
@@rocktalks5706 lol maybe so but either way he just needs to hit the gym
awesome interview fan of Bias looking forward to 2021!
Thanks man! I have more interviews in the way. Please suscribe!
I wonder how David feels now. Korn have become complete legends while he looks like a suspect on law and order SVU
😂😂😂
Lmao 😂
all of the songs that made them legends had david in them
@@Dacheerio 3 years ago I might have cared
To be fair ,korn may have gotten a better drummer,but originality will always prevail for me,that's why david will always be my favourite out of the two
That is a very valid point, sir.
@@rocktalks5706 thats like saying a game with a bunch of bugs is better than a polished game with fewer games, because it's original and not better
@@ccshinaberry basically David is an artist. And he was very original and pushed metal to new heights. That means more than being just technically good at an instrument.
The people that don't care for Ray Luzier being Korn's drummer, probably aren't musicians themselves and only want David back for the nostalgic factor. He was sort of toxic for the band. He had his place and made his mark with the earlier music, but Ray is an all-around more talented drummer and really cool guy. He's brought a freshness to the band, which they needed.
It's sad to see a guy who was in such a well known band, bump down to making music with such subpar garage/bar bands, though.
Better technically but the groove is more important to me which David used to have, because nowadays he sound very flat!
Agree. Thanks for watching. Please share, suscribe and make sure to watch more interviews in my channel!
100% Agree with this. Not to put David down, because in his prime he was literally untouchable when it comes to groovy heavy nu metal drumming, BUT he lost that swagger along the years and if he ever would come back it would not suddenly sound the same. The band's sound has moved on and David isn't up to the task anymore.
I can't explain how much every Korn fan yearns for David to get back in the set. Yes it's nostalgic but he hit those taps with a pain we all felt. Now it's like yeah... the music of Korn is good, but man...David was the heartbeat that really added an aggressive release.I will always wish for a reunion but guess what... money and politics and licensing deals for multinationals and fucking hungry bigots thirsting for money will never agree to bring him back.
If they did. THAT WOULD BE THE HARDEST KORN ALBUM EVER.
Ray just overplays everything every song every fill
Ray never written a single drum line who someone knows him for writing it.
Rays a great touring, fill in drummer and thats about it.
Cant mention a single memorable composition of his
These are good questions. I wish I could know more about what happened with David and Korn. For years I never knew really what happened with him. I still don't really know it seems.
Thanks a lot, bro. Please share. BTW David and JD talked about the split in other interviews. Basically David asked for some time off after the touring cycle for SYOTOS. The band was ok with that, they did the Unplugged show and then when they started to write the next álbum David simply didnt answer Korn's phone calls ANYMORE. They had to move on. A few months go in a podcast with ExMan David said there was miscomunication within bothsides and he had some back problems back then (2006 I suppose)
Not the whole story
@@boneappletea3858 please tell me what you Know
@@rocktalks5706 th-cam.com/video/oFBD6hTz6-c/w-d-xo.html
@@boneappletea3858 oh yeah, I remember that. Good point.
To me, KoRn in their prime and irrefutably the best albums in whatever order you put em are any and only any of the ones from 94-03. KoRn, Follow The Leader, Life Is Peachy, Take a Look in the mirror, Issues, and Untouchables for me personally.
Korn's golden era for sure!
Guys it's lockdown and he's in his late 40s now. Why do you expect him to look 25?
He's looked like a roided up freak for years now
It’s not just age though.
You can tell he really let go... He simply quit taking care of himself. He's the youngest one of Korn and looks the oldest... He got money go get fixed up..or take a shower dude..
i hate these excuses. just because youre in your 40's doesn't mean you automatically will look so rough. there are millions of 40-60 year old people who are in better shape than some people in their 20s
Dave's a legend. So sad he looks like THE SITUATION from Jersey Shore now.
Lol...very true. Where’s Snookie?
😂
Great quetions, specially the one that what would happen if he cross paths with Korn at a festival, his answer brought a big smile on my face! and you made a great move when you asked him if he have listened to Korn's newest albums, mentioning that he gave the same answer as Max Cavalera did when you asked him the same question.
All around a great interview, love the vibes the band has and hopefully they come to Peru/Southamerica soon.
Have a great one Rock Talks keep up this great work!
Thanks a lot! I wanted to ask so many questions about Korn but I had to choose only a couple and I think those were the most important ones. Im glad you agree. Please feel free to check out all my other interviews in this channel and in my facebook page (sección Fotos). I already did more than 60 rock/metal interviews. Cheers!

Thanks for the props! Please share and suscribe!
David looks like my uncle!!! Legend though.
Who cares what he looks like.......he put together one of the best drumming albums with Korn and after he left the sound of Korn sucks except a few jems. Thank you Dave for being one of the most influential drummers and all the bad ass music you've made. Wish you the best!
David is really getting up to his best again
great interview, thank you!
Thanks for watching. Please suscribe and hit the bell button. More interviews in the way!
He doesn't look all too well. Good that he is still motivated and creating/making music.
Without David they just weren't really the true Korn anymore. His rhythm and groove were just too essential to the sound and feel.
Man, Dave has seen better days. Like night and day. Staying in Korn would have kept him young. The other guys still have their form.
Well Head had to leave Korn or else he would’ve died from drug abuse, plus David blamed the band for his addictions, so I don’t think he would’ve looked younger being with Korn doing all that meth
Yeah cuz they have pro fitness gurus everyday. I'm just happy he has friends. I love korn. Always will, but I miss the original lineup like I miss living in the 90'$
I think this guy ate David Silveria.
Didn’t know Chum Lee played in the band.
Dude is great at interviewing 👍
Thank you so much bro. Please feel free to watch all my interviews and share the ones you like the most.
Having been in a band the feeling is like being with a gf and once a member leaves or even you leave it’s bad blood. You don’t wanna see them you don’t wanna hear them you just put it in your rear view mirror and it’s almost as if that person or band didn’t exist in your world anymore
David: no offense to korn identity hold any grudges
Also David : i won't listen to that crap
It's a marriage. Would you want to see your wife with another man?
They should just drop a 12 song album right now and leave the rest for an EP or second album imo.
They released an EP with 6 songs like 10 days ago.
right around the time he left korn, is when all their music became trash for a good while, jonathans voice didnt sound the same. they've definitelly gotten better since then. what a shame they couldnt work it out
It just feels like he did alot when he was in korn now it feels like he has to start all over again but you know what they say start from the bottom to get to the top then again musicians are always switching band members and trying something new
But he was in a top band, and now with the bands he plays for, they're bascically bar bands... Idk if I was in his position, I could back to that level of playing again with unknowns.
The missing ingredient for Korn to sound the way they used to that Raw Power David and Fildy the rhythm session it’s untouchable tight laid-back raw so powerful but yet invigorating and soothing,we shall see if in the near future it remains to be seen
Last time I heard from David, he was an alcoholic with a grudge against Korn. Sounds like he's bitter he left. That sucks because he brought a lot to Korn. They don't need him, but he really helped create their sound.
True. He really shut the door for good himself by acting like a fool unfortunately. At first the door was still open for him when he left, but the rest of the guys could not keep guessing and secured Ray instead.
Gracias por hacerle la pregunta que todos queríamos hacerle respecto a Korn 😊 y al fin escucho a alguien más que no sea yo, diciendo que "See You On The Other Side" apesta 😂 100% de acuerdo! También buenísima la pregunta del sonido de su batería en ese álbum, siempre he querido saber que pasó ahí.. gracias hermano!
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios, Dani! Que bueno que hayas disfrutado la entrevista. Me hubiera gustado preguntarle muchas más cosas sobre Korn, pero no quería incomodar tanto. Por eso solo escogí esas preguntas. Por favor no olvides compartir la entrevista y sobretodo suscribirte!
Amigo ssbes como se llama la camcion en el inicio del video
@@valler524 Hola bro, se llama Hesitation de Breaking In A Sequence
My view changed on Korn as people for not letting the original drummer back in.. The new dude from 2007 is alright but the first 6 or 7 albums of Korn will always be the best. David was apart of the most classic era of Korn and that will forever be their prime and best work.
Thanks for watching. Please share, suscribe and make sure to watch more interviews in my channel!
Ray is alright? He’s light years ahead of Dave. They become a better band.
Remember that at first David did not want back when the door was still open for him. Then when they locked in with Ray, he then suddenly crawled out of a cave and started spewing shit against the other guys when they wouldn't immediately let him in. He himself is in fault for burning the bridgers and closing that door, but he seems to be more in peace now.
@@northtimo666 He didn't want to cone back until they let Head back in when not too long before that Head and David had met up and Head told him he would never rejoin. Time will make people want to come back or change their minds. David was with the group for the first 7 albums he has all those memories to sit on.
@@cvblaylockray doesn’t have a single composition anyone knows him for .
I always found it amazing how David's image clashed so much with the rest of the guys in Korn back in the day. 4/5th's of Korn were these grungy, homeless looking dudes with dreads and then David was literally a male model. He was the youngest in the band so maybe that naturally made him an outcast. Sometimes as a fan you just gotta sit and wonder how Korn would've ended up today if all the original members stayed together. What could've been if Head didn't get so messed up on drugs and David didn't mess up his wrist in that accident that greatly effected his drumming.
YESSS
@@misschicka2831 That's not what happened at all, you're filling in a lot of blanks with your own imagination. David himself has said his wrist injury affected him and made him adjust his style as to not aggravate it. He is not the same drummer he was back in Korn's earlier days before the injury, not even close. He's still decent but not like what he was, he very much simplified his style. He was not fired from Korn either, he left after he became distant from the rest of the members of the band as he was healing from a back injury. The fire was lost and he decided not to go back to Korn once he healed. He is also on record saying this.
David wasn't the one leaving that really affected Korn's sound, it was Head leaving that really destroyed them and their unique sound. They weren't Korn without him, they sounded like a side-project. The moment he reentered the fold, the classic, signature Korn sound immediately came back. It was like magic. Whereas if David were to return, it wouldn't be so drastic because Ray is no slouch and is a more technically gifted drummer than David especially now. If you think the stuff David's doing in BIAS is anything remotely as good as the stuff he did in the early Korn days than you don't know anything about drumming.
@@losferwords100 Alot of words and alot of bullshit. Korns sound did not come back with head , it was a step in the right direction but without David. Korn is just another generic sounding numetal band.
@@losferwords100 he didn't tone his drumming down. he HAD to tone it down because the producers told him to tone it down. korn stopped writing music as a band.
I didn't believe David about not listening and not having hard feelings the first time I saw it, but now watching the full interview and seeing that part a second time, I totally believe him.

I miss David in Korn. My favorite player in Korn.
Wonder if he still hangs out with Tommy Lee?
Yeah, sometimes I miss his groove in the band too.
David David I feel your pain sir
"I don't hold any grudges or whatever, but if a song comes on I instantly turn it off"...yeah man, no grudges at all. If he would be a grown up man he would have no problem with that and be able to reconnect with the guys. David didn't age mentally after joining KoRn...sad.
Maybe he turns it off because it's just not good? He should rejoin KoRn though.
@@brad_genx_sk8er yeah maybe, but it's hard to believe for me because if I would have been through so much stuff with these guys I would definitely would want to know what they are up to.
@@brad_genx_sk8er He should NOT join Korn lol. His drumming is horrible now days, dude. Ray blows David out of the water. David had his place in earlier Korn albums, but he was sort of toxic.

Much love to Dave!!
Very unique drummer. Ray is great too but I miss David’s funkiness
AMEN to that.
I think the production of See You On The Other Side create the tension between Jonathan and David or make it more worse.
Good point there, sir.
Do you know why?
Hes looks rough!!!
When they get invited into the R’R HOF they’re gonna have to face each other, bc he’s the drummer of Korn’s major albums!
That's a possibility!
When did Chum-Lee join the band? Is David's interview or.....🤔

Breaking in a Sequence is currently sounding quite generic. I really hope they find their own sound and structure soon...
I believe all the members of Korn have been sober for sometime, and these guys are at leaste drinking, I wonder if it factors into his split from Korn.
@ROCK TALKS I know it can be hard to pick questions. But, I was hoping you would have asked David if he saw the Krazy Love Documentary and especially how he felt about Brian returning to Korn. And also about Brian getting sober.
That is a valid question. Maybe next time! Thanks for watching and commenting. Please suscribe and hit the bell! More videos in the way!
I have read that he was bitter when they let Head back in but did not let him at the same time.
He turned into John C Reilly off step brothers

trying to wrap my head around not being interested in even listening to at least 1 whole song since leaving a band, especially one as relevant and influential as KoRn. i'd personally want to hear what my brothers were up to without me, as well as what ideas the person who replaced me brought to the table...ESPECIALLY if there really was no bad blood or grudges as he's saying here...

Korn became a way better band without David. Ray brought technically sound drums with pocket infused. David will never be in Korn again.
