It reminded me of me and the boys, just friends trying to make the music they love. I didn’t understand what it was they were trying to do and then as I listened to it more and saw the videos they were putting out where you’d see the band on tour and behind the scenes. “I remember hearing Korn's Daddy on their debut album for the first time and I didn’t get it at all. ![]() It was something instilled in me from a very early age and I dedicated my life to it until 2002, 2003 when people started properly sniffing around the band and then we got an EP out and the rest is history.” It’s ‘orrible, in the best possible way.Īs soon as I got into music and into heavy metal, the journey of discovery let me know that’s what I wanted to do – I wanted to be on-stage, screaming my head off and playing guitar. ![]() Like, ‘what the fuck is this band?’ Everything else I listened to was more polished and traditional, so having something like Scissors really changed how I felt about metal. Slipknot’s debut album is a great example it’s very raw, visceral and intense and as soon as I heard it, it was like a punch in the face. “I really love that whole mid-90s, early 2000s era of metal where the production is not polished and not pretty. They actually took the shine off Korn for me at the time – how could anyone follow that?” It was party vibes, but heavy metal – not like the bands you’d get at the time at all. The show was phenomenal, I was finally able to go to shows on my own with my mates and we had no idea who they were, but two or three songs in they played Counterfeit and it was like ‘this is so fucking cool’. It was less serious but just as heavy and intense. It’s almost punk rock with how dirty it is, but they were also very different there’s a lot of groove and they had Fred Durst, who did a lot more rapping on it. There’s something about that when bands aren’t trying to sound clean or popular, they’re just doing what they do and that whole Ross Robinson era of nu metal bands just captured my imagination. ![]() At that point they were new and not as commercial or poppy as they’d later be so that album is a lot more like Roots in terms of being dirty and heavy. “I discovered Limp Bizkit around the time Three Dollar Bill Y’all came out, they were supporting Korn at the Newport Centre.
