Appetite for Distortion - David Silveria talks Appetite for Destruction | Ep. 128

[Gambit83 1,297]

We discuss drummer David Silveria's new band BI·AS while reflecting on the old. From the direct impact Guns N' Roses had on Korn (specifically Slash/Izzy on AFD), the recording process, communication breakdowns with hopes to mend fences, David Silveria gives us a very honest and candid conversation. (David calls in at 18:09)

Special co-host is our original co-host...Scotto is back for the first time since Ep. 39! We learn about his Korn Bar Mitzvah party and he wonders if DJ Asbha buys social media followers.

Not planned like that, sometimes these interview opps just come up and I don't like waiting a week to post

Oh I know. Wasn't insulting you or anything. I'm happy you have so much content to share!

As a big Korn fan, I'm excited to hear his thoughts on AFD and how it impacted/influenced Korn.

Very nice interview @Gambit83.  There was a period from 1994-1997 that Korn was pretty much my favorite band.  The self-titled album changed my world at the time and then Life is Peachy was just as incredible.  I only saw Korn one time and that was on the Life is Peachy tour when they hit NJ and I remember having an amazing time.  I still look for that show on YouTube and its never surfaced.  I still remember when I bought Follow the Leader the day it came out and I was so disappointed.  It just didn't have that angry dark edge that the first two albums had and I slowly shifted away from them after that.  I occasionally revisit those first 2 albums and they still connect with the angry 15 year old in me.  

Just an FYI there are a few of us members who try to avoid setlist discussions so that when we see the artist we are learning/hearing the set for the first time.  Although I've seen Duff already in NYC, there are a few members I know who are seeing him later this summer so next time could you offer up a 'spoiler alert' or something like that when you have a setlist discussion regarding Duff, Slash, GNR (if they ever play new songs), etc.?  Not a critique, just a request.  Thanks!

My bad. I remember Scotto once getting mad at me because I posted the NITLT setlist, saying it was a spoiler. I never thought of it that way before. Duly noted

All good, I know its hard especially because 99% of fans read the setlists as soon as they're posted, but there is definitely a sliver of us who try to avoid it.

Did he have some sort of physical issues? Like shoulder problems or something? I thought I remember something about that impacting his tenure with Korn.

His back, yeah.
