      That's true. In fact, most of Korn's sound is how he's approaching the bass. They all mimic what he's playing to a degree.

      Haha, he's not that bad really.
      I never realized how advanced this bass line really is.
      He's just the next logical step in the Claypool-Flea-Gould ladder/circle:
      Les Claypool - Slaps/pops a whole symphony's worth of notes every beat, using all six strings. (often uses two-handed tapping)
      Flea - Slaps/pops really fast on two strings, usually octave jumps with some hammer-ons/pull-offs. (uses a 4-string)
      Billy Gould - Plays the same type of stuff as Flea, but much slower, simpler and often using a pick.
      Fieldy - Does most of his slapping on one string, rarely (if ever) pops. Tunes down his five-string. Actually plays some pretty fast stuff. Occasionally uses two-handed tapping.

    People arguing about whether he is good or not just miss the point. He helped Korn have THEIR sound. That bass tone and style is so important to their music. Its not about being a good or bad player, its about contributing to the song.

      without his sound korn would have maybe skipped on a lot of the success say had end of the 90s. There are samples where they had versions play live without that kind of bass and it was just not the same.

      Yeah it doesn't really matter if he is a great bass guitar player, which I think he is and one of the more innovative ones at that, but he contributed to an iconic sound. Same shit they used to give Munky and Head. Those riffs changed the game in Metal. Same thing with Fieldys bass.

    Anyone that's trashing and putting Fieldy down needs to take a step back and look in the mirror, the man is one fifth of one of the most legendary heavy bands that have ever graced us with their ear candy. Fieldy is a criminally underrated bassist that doesn't sit around and bitch about it, he just does his thing and gives it his all, what the hell have most of you accomplished that comes even close to the legacy he's gonna leave behind?
