Korn Vocalist Creates Boy Band

2007-11-27 by Aakon_Keetreh | 27 Comments
Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis is eager to guide the next boy band. It's not a boy band in the classic sense, but a real band of boys who are learning to play instruments -- his sons Nathan, Pirate and Zeppelin. Davis's main gig is the vocalist for Korn, but he's currently going out on tour solo.

"I'm not pushing 'em though. I don't want him to be a rock star. I don't want him to do it unless he really wants to do it and take it up as his career. I want it to be part of his life. I want him to at least know how to play an instrument and just to have that satisfaction. Nathan was just with me, but he had to leave because he had to go to school today. He lives in Massachusetts now. He's really involved in music. He's been playing bass a lot. He's figuring out what he wants to play. Pirate's two-and-a-half and Zep's six months. Me and Pirate... Pirate's my little... He's going to be a drummer, and he's going to be playing at three like I did, because he's constantly, 'Wake up, wake up! Daddy play drums. Let's go baby,' because I had him out in the studio. So I'd throw on songs I'd been working on and he plays drums to them. He's actually hitting some of the hits, and I'm like, 'whoa!'"

We asked him if like several known musicians (notably Van Halen) if he'd ever do musical projects with his kids.

"F--k, yes! I've got three boys I'm hoping for a f--kin' three piece and I'll produce the s--t. I'll be papa getting them going. Yeah, it should be great. Fieldy just had a little boy, Israel, and so it could be we have a four piece and then we need another baby boy from Munky because he said he won't let his baby girl in our band. 'Hell, no,' I'm like, 'OK. I understand. I understand bro.'"

Jonathan Davis got to fly home for Thanksgiving with the family before jetting out again for a solo show Friday night (November 23) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He has dates scheduled through December 11 in Las Vegas.

I don't know what to say when I read shit like this!
"F--k, yes! I've got three boys I'm hoping for a f--kin' three piece and I'll produce the s--t. I'll be papa getting them going.

Better watch out. They sound like they are on a role to creating another St. Anger or Ashley Simpson album!

IMO the best thing to do is to just let them be in their own bands...and have their dad stay FAR away from it. If my dad was JD and my name was Pirate I'd give him a huge WTF when I figured how much of a fucking idiot he was.

If this guy named his children Pirate and Zeppelin he deserves to be dragged into the forest and shot.

The fact that a three year old kid named Pirate can play some drum sections of KoRn's music says something.
