Korn frontman writing opera

2007-06-17 by samthebassman | 24 Comments
KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has revealed to AOL's PopEater music blog that he has begun writing an opera entitled "Oblivion" with Richard Gibbs and Clive Barker.

Davis says the "dark opera" will be "way different" from KORN's style and is about the end of the world. He has just started writing the music for it, but he will not be starring in it.

I felt the need to laugh at this, but then I realized this could turn out pretty cool, I enjoy opera stuff.

O man, I'm betting good money this will suck. Just because one is in a famous rock band doesn't one should or could ever write an opera. Leave it to the pros.

He didn't do too bad composing on the Queen Of The Damned soundtrack.

Hmm, not too sure what to think of this one.

These guys can write something other than a two-chord song?

I'm expecting it to be bad.

Hopefully it's better than Korn. Which isn't too hard to do.

Well if it is "different from Korn" then good is different from bad. Eh? Eh?

This guy can't write good music for a genre he and his band invented. Why would he want to venture into a genre that he knows nothing about. I hate Korn for just not giving up.

So, he's gonna write an opera made from locrian and minor scales/chords and call it a different thing from KoRn... Sounds like metal made with Violins and horns. This is going to be a funny thing to hear and the interviews will be hysterical.
But he will probably not even do anything with the actual making and creation of the music, just guiding what he invisions for the music and it will sound just like he makes all KoRn stuff sound, he should just release the last killing album of KoRn and retire.

He should seriously think about taking a really long break.
I'm actually hoping he sticks w/ this for a while so I can expect a decent Korn album afterwards (of course, w/ the extra year or two of writing some of the old great bands are needing). I don't think you should be concerned w/ what it sounds like; If it isn't good, opera fans won't like it and nu-metal fans won't either. So there goes the publicity. Let's hope it stays at that.

I don't see why he should waste his time looking into something he knows two things about: Jack and shit.

This should not happen for any reason.
And the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack was awful.
