Korn's Jonathan Davis HATES Nu Metal

Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis hates the term nu-metal and prefers to think of Korn as a heavy funk band.

"Yeah, that nu-metal thing. It was funny how they came up with that ****, because when we first came out, no one knew what the **** to do with us. I’d like to find that f***ing writer that coined that term, nu-metal.

When we came out, we toured with everyone from No Doubt, Pennywise, Cadillac Trance, Sick of It All, KMFDM, it was all over the place. So finally someone came up with “nu-metal” and everyone copped our s***. I didn’t understand it, like I never thought of us to be metal to begin with.

Yeah, we’re heavy and downtuned, but metal, to me, is like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, that’s metal man. I always thought of us as a funk band, that funky groovy... Then Limp Bizkit came up and we found them and took them on tour and blew them up, and all the other bands came and we had a scene which was really good and solidified with the Family Values Tour." - Davis, Rank Your Records...
