Korn frontman Jonathan Davis told ExploreMusic that Dave Mustaine hurt his feelings when Korn toured with Megadeth in 1995.
“Dave Mustaine was really mean and just had attitude,” said Davis. “It was scary being on there. I was drinking at the time and I got him drinking again, which I shouldn’t have done, but that was Dave Mustaine and I was this young, little kid, and I’m like, ‘That’s Dave Mustaine and he wants to drink. I’ll give him a drink.’ I respected him and everything, but I kind of got my feelings hurt, because he was mean at times.”
“I don’t have any ill will towards the guy now, ‘cause you know how it is — now you’re older and you’re wiser — but at the time it was really scary,”
“And plus, we were pissed off at getting all these metal tours. We went from Danzig — which was cool, ‘cause it was kind of different — and then we went with Ozzy [Osbourne] and with Megadeth… At the time no one knew where to put us, so we were doing tours with KMFDM to Megadeth, fuckin’ Pennywise… [They] didn’t know what to do with us. At that time we weren’t a metal band, and we still to this day have [yet to] fit into any kind of scene; no one scene calls us their home.”
Korn recently uploaded a preview of their new track last week on Soundcloud.
