Threads about him generally don't last long as he is a popular target for some...
If anyone bashes Fieldy, please use the "report post" link and it will be taken care of...
If anyone is planning on bashing Fieldy in this thread, please don't |

|  | - that dog won't hunt, Monsignor. Moderator | | | | | I think he fits the first few Korn records really well. I like a bunch of those tracks. I'd like to hear him branch out with his material. I disliked his solo cd, and I have a feeling Korn is cooked at this point, so who knows what will happen with his sound.
I get tired of the cutting on Fieldy, it's been done. |

Other than that, i saw Korn live at a festival, and they were the best of all bands (which werer rhcp and metallica among others) |

| | Banned | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Santa Rosa, CA | | | i appreciate his unique tone and playing style.
He gives Korn their most unique asset, and without him they would not have become as big as they did.
Before becoming a bassist, i always wondered what that was, and just thought it gave them a unique power to their sound, now i realize it's a bass. I appreciate the fact he can get that tone... I'm boggled as to how he dials in all those highs without it getting harsh (probably just top of the line gear).
I'm a fan of mids, i have more mids than bass by a long shot, so i don't emulate his tone, but i can appreciate it.
Also, I agree, they are awesome live. I got the chance to see them, and they were the best band there (vs. Ozzy, Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, etc. (Ozzfest)). |

I've played with a couple of guitarists (with some playing and living years under their belts) that dig Korn. They dug Fieldy's style and tone... they said the busier he is the more supportive he becomes. Can't say I agree... but I get where they are coming from. |

All his playing is nearly pitch devoid, and works more as a strange drum effect. It's definitely a different approach to bridging the gap between drums and guitars.

I don't mind Korn's music, but ol' JD on the vocals whines too much.

I don't have much to add to thread, but I thought this quote was hilarious.
And Fieldy? Well, I've never payed much attention to his playing, as I don't really like Korn.
