Korn Drummer Replacement Revealed

Terry Bozzio is replacing Korn drummer David Silveria during his temporary hiatus from the band, as reported by Martini Republic.

Bozzio, 57, who is long considered one of the greatest drummers in rock history, will be replacing David Silveria for at least one studio album and tour.

Silveria is taking time out from the band supposedly to maintain his restaurants -- Tuna Town and Silvera's Steakhouse & Lounge -- plus spend quality time with the family.

Bozzio has recorded with numerous musicians on hundreds of albums across the musical spectrum, including Robbie Robertson, Gary Wright, Don Dokken, Paul Hyde, Herbie Hancock, Frank and Dweezil Zappa, Richard Marx, Jeff Beck, Duran Duran, Explorer's Club, Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others.

Thanks to KSN for the information.

Never heard of him. Might see Korn this year if they do the festival circuit.

[AMPtweaker1]

jesus! that is a strange one!. terry wont fit whatsoever with Korn

[RHCP603]

That's whats really cool about drummers, than can play with any band without having to totally change thier styles. Although, i do agree that he doesnt really fit.

Good GOD.

Korn had better not be covering any Zappa... D:

[jamstation]

OMG!!!!!
Terry bozzio!!!!?!?!!?!??!?!
Korn!!?!?!?
wtf!?!?!
this is HUGE!!!

[Covin]

Wow, maybe Korn will be taking a very different direction. It's hard to imagine that experienced a drummer just goofing around...

[metal@hart11]

buddies almost 60. thats pretty crazy. he does have a sick drum set too. korns career is finished but this guy might give them one last chance

[garfunkleskater]

That guys set is the biggest ****ing thing i've ever seen. (Drools) I wishhhhh

= )shot they should write more songs like good god

[Travis Tricky]

I threw up.

No offense to Korn fans, I used to be a huge one, but just, no. Bozzio is acclaimed, he is incredible, the work he did with F. Zappa is unmatched (especially the work on the documentary "Baby Snakes"), just can't imagine him lowering to the level of Korn given his great technical abilities.

And before anyone flames my opinion here, I used to listen to a lot of Korn and I play drums so I can effectively compare the drumming of both Silveria and Bozzio, Bozzio FTW.

[EMT911]

He has to have short-man syndrome to wanna have a drum set that big. I hope he's good though. I'm kinda sad; it seems Korn is falling apart before our very eyes. First Head leaves, then some song-writing team comes into the game, now David's leaving?

[hatebreed219]

Never heard of Terry Bozzio? Nigga you crazy.

[GeekStinkBreath]

They don't deserve such a talented drummer.

[aliceinnirvana]

Ah man, I actually liked David, he was my favourite from Korn.
But this guy seems to be the real deal, I like it.

[punk_mike_88]

Now how the hell did he go from Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan to Korn? Well I hope Korns drummer comes back soon so Terry can get back to playing real music.

[MetalHead73]

I love Korn like no other, but really don't see what Silveira brings to the band, there is no unique drums in any Korn song, bass and guitar make up Korn's Music, maybe Bozzio can make the drums a factor in Korn.

BOZZIO FTW.

his set may seem overkill but he does use all of it. i always thought he was more of a jazz fusion drummer but im sure he can play anything. korn must be paying him well.

[EMT911]

Wow, I guess it's hard to mess up when you have like 16 crash cymbals in front of your face. Still, it's like those dudes who drive those lifted trucks on the freeway; it all comes down to either being short or having a small package.

[aocrkid]

speaking of legendary drummers..
where's atkins these days?

looks like something danny carey picked up from

[Pingpunked14]

i was into korn alot about half a year ago and kinda still am...they havent had a good album sinse the one b4 Twisted Transister...hopefully this drummer will bring a new light to korn that will get me back into them

[fluffylump2]

korn is really falling apart.

[lordpaco18]

i'm kinda losing my interest, hope new album is good...

[that_1_dude24]

Hmm...
Maybe he will make the next album more intresting.

[guitar-goddess]

Hancock... Dweezil... haha im sorry i have to laugh. But this guy is freakin amazing!

[punkMETALskater]

he is a great drummer,but jus b/c he has the biggest doesnt make him the best drummer ever,thats like saying the biggest guitar makes you the best player,i have seen jazz drummers on a 4 piece set rock better than some people with a 12 piece or higher,but this guy is a good drummer nonetheless..

i cannot understand why people would go to a thread entitled "Korn Drummer Replacement Revealed" just to bash on korn and its members. its clear from the title that its a damn korn thread, and it seems you people can only get joy by pissing off a bunch of fans from the safety of their living rooms. get a ****ing life.

i dont see how they chose this guy. though i've never heard of him, he has quite an impressive resume. i just hope he keeps the same relative style of david. his drumming is a big part of why i love korn. its so unique.

by the way, does anyone know where David has these restaurants? maybe i could pop in and say hi.... lol. right....

[Iron Skull]

hahaha, I was right.

[Artisan_Bassist]

Dude i looked at Terry's set....how do you even use all of that??

[British Josh]

terry bozzio?????!?!?! WTF???! WITH KORN@?!???@ wtf is this world seriously coming to. when the one of the best drummers in rock history is drumming for a half ass nu metal group?

[KoRn's_child]

This is exciting news but I will always still look forward for the return of David.

[sambargun]

I'm no Korn fan but have listened to some of their songs. They're okay but are nowhere close to say Pantera or Ministry. They are one of the few good bands among that crappy timewasters called 'nu-metallers' who cant even play a decent guitar solo. Personnaly i feel Linkin Park, Deftones and Slipknot suck. Anyway Terry Bozzio is a legend just because he has played with two guitarists i idolise a lot, Jeff Beck(anyone listened to the Guitar Shop album? thats both of them playing) and Frank Zappa. This is just and old veteran's way to pass some time. Anyway it'll be fun to listen to the finished studio product.

hmm, this doesnt make much sense to me, unless Korn is going in a different direction for this album. Bozzio just doesnt seem to really fit in with thier style IMO. might be interesting tho...

[punk_metal]

Korn suck nowadays.. Every album after issues has been absolute crap.. a few songs on untouchables were okay, but otherwise imo they are finished
I miss there old sound
and i miss the bouncy bass feeling

[stevie-ray]

f***! i dont understand most of the theories here.
you used to like a band, but then the released albums you hate so you hate the whole band entirely? WTF!

elvis is finished with releasing albums but he will always kick ass!

[tommythecat00]

that drum kit is the stupidest ****ing thing i've seen.

50 bucks says he has a tiny cock

[Instrumetal]

Wow...maybe this will be a plus for Korn...

Now they will have at least one musician in their band :p:

[espliam]

how the hell did a band like korn manage to get a drummer like him

[AvrilFanUK]

Same way they got David Silveria, I don't like Korn but Silveria is one of the best drummers in the world. Listen to Ball Tongue, that guy rips.

[EMXplode]

david and terry both play the same style, terry was a huge influence on david

[guitar_amateur]

anyone listened to(or watched)terry play the black page?thats what that youtube link up there is if you don't wanna follow it
the black page was a drum piece written by frank zappa as a challenge to terry
anyone wanna guess why it's called the black page?

[guitar_amateur]

here's hoping terry can put a little change into korn, their newer music isn't as good as their older songs like freak on a leash

[kornflipsk8er]

i can't believe it.I never expected someone as amasing as Bozzio to fill in for David.This is quite fantastic.
