    Congrats for this interview and for bringing up the B-Sides release! Not that many technical guitar interviews with Korn lately which is a shame since there's massive studio sound design innovation in the guitar department on many of their albums.

      Thanks! Yeah man, the Korn guys literally revolutionised the heavy guitar sound and they keep on pushing the limits. As an all-time Korn fan I really appreciate that (amongst many other things). Cheers //Kris

    This album is fucking sick. It's up there in the top three for me, along with Life Is Peachy and Follow The Leader.
    Thank you Munky.

    In My Personal Opinion, I have to say that out of a Million and one interviews featuring any musicians that have been successful with their work, this really helps me Appreciate "Korn", and Munky as a Creative Musician. I'm not a Hardcore Korn Fan, but I have always listened to their music for the songs I've liked that they've performed. After all the Crazy Shi+ they've been through as a Band and as individuals. I give a Huge Thankyou for this interview and the pure wholesome conversation you've shared with us all. GREAT WORK AND I'M A HAPPY AND PROUD SUB. TO YOUR CHANNEL.

    I think 9 songs is enough for an album. Sometimes it's better to have a short good album, that an album that becomes boring as it goes too long.

      @@sugarsore That's a strong word... He's in a band with tell guys who are Christian and all I've ever heard from a long time ago was that he was fine with it, "so long as they didn't push it on him." I'm thinking that he's come to some terms as he's getting older and loss has put things in perspective.
      To be honest, it's done more good for that band than you'd think. One would likely be in prison and the other would probably not be here.
