Korn’s latest album ‘The Path of Totality’ saw the band going in a new musical direction, embracing dubstep and utilizing several different producers including Skrillex. We caught up with drummer Ray Luzier backstage before their set at the Carolina Rebellion Festival. That was the show that featured the surprise return of Brian ‘Head’ Welch for one song, the first time he performed with the band since 2005.

We talked about the latest CD and the album of the year award at the Revolver Golden Gods. And since Luzier used to play with David Lee Roth, Van Halen’s newest release was discussed along with the future of the supergroup Army of Anyone and other topics.

What inspired the musical direction you took on ‘The Path of Totality’?

Korn has always had an element of hip-hop, reggae, funk. It’s an extreme direction, but to me it’s a Korn record at the end of the day. Jon [Davis], for the last several years, has been into dubstep music. He turned us onto Skrillex first, and said he was going to write some words on top of one of these songs. I didn’t know if it was going to be a solo project or what it was going to be. He said, “No, I want this to be the new Korn record.” That’s basically what happened. We thought maybe we would just make a five song EP. That was the plan, but it spread like wildfire. It was cool.

How did your part of the recording process work?

Jon would meet with most of the producers first, but a lot of the time the drums were the last things laid down. It’s usually the opposite. The drums are normally the first thing laid down and everything else goes on top of it. On our last record ‘Korn III’ we took time off the road and did it organically in a room, old school. We just sat in a room and wrote a song and recorded it 45 minutes later. On this album, Jon would do a vocal in Seoul, Korea. I would do a drum track in Honolulu, Hawaii.

It was a really different process for me, because I’m all about the song. If it calls for a lot of wacky fills or beats I’m all for it. But these songs are so heavy and powerful. The samples that dubstep people use are so massive, I found myself doing extra stuff, and it would ruin the beat and ruin the song. So I ended up playing really simplistic on this record. And live I wanted to make sure I played everything organically, meaning I played every note. We play our set in thirds. The second set is all dubstep, so I switch out my acoustic snare with an electric snare. We had Viggy, Tommy Lee’s guy, program everything. He did it so when I hit the snare, it’s the verse, and it will change automatically to the chorus snare. So that’s how we do it. I play every note live.

How did the actual fan reaction to the direction of the new album compare to what your expectations were of their reaction?

You’re always going to piss somebody off. You can’t make everyone happy. On the last record we went old school and brought Ross Robinson back (who produced Korn’s first two albums), and some people said, “Come on, it’s the same old thing!” For this one we went extreme. A lot of fans came up to us at the beginning of the tour and said they were still trying to digest it. Now they have seen it a couple of times, and most of them tell us they love it. I’m also getting emails from 16-year-old Skrillex fans who had never heard of Korn, but bought the record because he (Skrillex) was on it. So we’re turning new fans onto it.

You’ve even made the Billboard dance charts with this one.

It’s crazy. We’re still No. 5 in Europe. We won album of the year from Revolver. It’s kind of nuts to go off into left field like that. You don’t know what fans are going to say. Korn fans are so die-hard.

You were in Los Angeles to accept the Revolver Golden God award for best album…

Yes. Me and Fieldy showed up to accept it, but he was with his daughters and ended up leaving early. So I had to accept it by myself. I’ve been in the band for five years, but haven’t been in the band for 19 years like some of the guys. There were a couple of Ray fans there, but most of them were probably looking behind me, wondering where the guy with the dreads was. (laughs) It was an honor. We were nominated for a Grammy for ‘Korn III,’ and then the album of the year for ‘The Path of Totality.’ It doesn’t suck being in this band right now, that’s for sure.

Is there any place you still want to get to and play live?

It’s funny you ask that, because we just added India in August, and I’ve always wanted to go to India. That will be cool. I think it’s the first time there for Korn, too. With my previous bands I never got to go to nearly as many places as Korn has. My first tour was South Africa, Dubai, crazy places I never thought I would end up.

When you have some extra time on the road, do you make an effort to see the local sights?

I do, I like to get out. Sometimes I’m a hermit in my hotel room. This band travels nicely, which is good. We stay in nice hotels. All the years when I was with David Lee Roth we ventured out so much and saw a lot of places in the United States and Europe. I love the culture of Europe and venture out. But stateside I’m sometimes a hermit.

What do you think of Van Halen’s comeback album ‘A Different Kind 0f Truth’?

I didn’t like it at first, but now I love it. You look forward to that next record coming out from your favorite bands. It’s been a while since I’ve had the feeling of a new Van Halen record in my hand. But it’s funny to me, because when I was in (David Lee Roth’s) band he showed me four or five songs from the new record. ‘She’s The Woman,’ ‘Tattoo’ and all those songs I heard 10 years ago. It was a trip when I heard ‘Tattoo’ on the radio, because I remember hearing it at Dave’s house. I had a grin on my face when I heard these songs now.

You recorded an album in 2006 with Army of Anyone (which also included Richard Patrick from Filter, and Robert and Dean DeLeo from Stone Temple Pilots). There have been conflicting reports whether there will be another album. What can you tell us about that band?

It’s possible. We are all really good friends. We have a bunch of tunes in the works. I think if the time ever arose where we all could make our schedules fit, it would work out.

Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys just passed away. Did you ever cross paths with him?

I met the Beastie Boys when I was with David Lee Roth. They are huge Van Halen fans. They came out to New York City one time for a show and I had the pleasure of meeting him. He was a real sweetheart of a guy. It’s such a shame.  He was only 47.

Disturbed may be on hiatus for an unspecified period of time, but vocalist David Draiman is set to return with an industrial rock project, for which he has just unveiled a whole slew of details via Twitter.

It’s amazing that Draiman can even find time to work on a new project with the feverish amount of interaction the vocalist engages in on his Twitter page. The Disturbed frontman, whose communication with fans used to be solely through his rhythmic vocal assault and trademark grunts, is now using the social networking site to get his voice out to the public, 140 characters at a time.

On any given day you can find Draiman’s lengthy thoughts on everything from his favorite albums to the complexities of the Trayvon Martin case. The singer is also pretty good about responding to Tweets from fans, a few of his recent answers have filled in the blanks on the status of his previously announced project with former Filter axeman Geno Lenardo. Draiman has described the project as being in the vain of Nine Inch Nails and Ministry.

During a recent series of Tweets, it was revealed that a lot of work has been going into the project and they are “almost ready to record” a full album. Draiman also made mention of a book he has in the works and hopes both projects will surface “around the same time.” Tracking for the new project is set to begin May 31 and to the question of when Disturbed will be recording again, the vocalist has a much less specific, saying “not anytime soon.”

Are you currently signed to any kind of label or management?

Right now we are independent. Doing everything ourselves. We are currently looking for management. A lot of things are happening and we are in need of help.  And of course… An offer from a label would be something that we would all take in consideration.

Yeah, this week the W stands for “why”.  

Tom Cruise stars in the new movie Rock Of Ages (probably an entirely seperate WTF Wednesday post right there.) and actually went in to the studio to re-record some of the songs his character has to sing.

Granted the movie looks pretty sucky as it is, but I thought I’d at least give the soundtrack a shot.  After all; it’s made up of some of rocks biggest hits right?

Here’s Tom doing Def Leppard.  (I think I sprained something in my ear on this, check it out ……. ) 

Now for the question!  (One I’m pretty sure I already know the answer to…)

Ahem … To everyone in the El Paso/Las Cruces area; what do you think of Toms version of “Pour Some Sugar On Me”?? 

You can comment below or on the KLAQ facebook page.

Between now and Memorial Day Weekend I’m going to devote some of these posts to Balloonfest memories here at KLAQ.com and on the balloonfest facebook page!

We’ve had a lot of fun at Wet N Wild over the years and there are a billion stories.

Some weird. (Like the year the balloon I was in came down on La Tunas’ grounds.  Not actually in the prison, but on their land.  Close enough that we got a visit .. and some help! … from a few heavily armed guards.)

Some funny. (The funny stories are the best and there are sooo many to tell.  From dropping cell phones out of balloons during call ins to “fishing for ducks” … that was an acccident mind you. Totally unintentional …  to trying to escort drunk rock stars around the park with them getting mobbed, on stage late and/or beaten up!  The list goes on and on.

Some strange. (Ok, in a way they are ALL strange!)

There may even be video of a few of these!  Keep checking in here at KLAQ.com and on the KLAQ facebook page to read some of the best ones over the next couple of weeks from me and the other guys.

Balloonfest 2012 … it’s coming up quick and it’s going to RAAWWWK!!

Destiny Monique, the model/actress/former Marine with the coolest name ever, has just wiped the floor with Amber Nicole, Challis Taylor and her other smokin’ hot competitors to become our newest Babe of the Week.

Monique’s biggest threat came in the form of the sexy radio host Erika Othen, whose incredible modeling and singing abilities wowed the voters. But in the end, it was Monique’s dedicated Twitter and Facebook followers that lifted her up to the top.

Of course, she’s used to competing under pressure. (She was in the Marines, remember?) We’re guessing it was the perfect combination of looking fierce and being able to shatter a man’s nuts that made her the fan favorite.

Each week’s winner will then face off to become Babe of the Month, and those winners will then duke it out for – you guessed it – the Babe of the Year title. Only those lucky ladies will be inducted into GuySpeed’s Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for the hottest of babes.

KLAQ

Let’s get a little closer look at what we’re seeing here.

KLAQ

This package, that I wouldn’t identify conclusively until I opened it, had the following words printed on it.

TWO SHOULD KNOW

Human Health and Sexuality

An Initiative of the Paso del Norte Health Foundation.

What? Condoms? Clean needles? OH MY GOD!!! Are these Sanitary Napkins??

None of the above. These were packages of microwaveable popcorn.

Safe Sex Microwaveable popcorn.

KLAQ

Now,  I’m all in favor of healthy sexual practices.   I’m also in favor of popcorn.  I just have trouble seeing how the two go together.

More than anything, I just wonder how the meeting went when they decided on this particular way of communicating their message….

“Well, we’ve got a few thousand more dollars in grant money. We need to find SOMETHING to spend it on.”

“Hmmm.  We should do something to get the word out that healthy human sexuality is a thing we’re into.”

“Yeah, but how do we get that message to young people? What is something sexually active people are really, really into?”

“Duh! POPCORN!!”

“BINGO! Let’s print up 20,000, pronto, and make sure they get into every radio station break room within a 100 mile radius. Those places are STD cesspools.”

And, in case you’re wondering, I DID open up a package of  Safe Sex Popcorn and, NO, there weren’t any condoms, IUD’s or Morning After pills inside.

Just popcorn.  That I’m not going to eat!

Columbia Pictures

Here’s something cool for all my fellow comic geeks.  Columbia Pictures has released a 4 minute preview for “The Amazing Spiderman.”

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
