I like Korn but the fact that he owns Bundy’s car and Gacy’s clown suit gives me the creeps.

I’ve always based what I like on the music. Not their hobbies, they way they dress, or their opinions.
Too many MTV fans base their decision on appearance, in my opinion.

I love the dixie chicks they are incredible musicans and song writers, and it is nuts for the people in country music to have treated them that way, but they had the last laugh.

Hey, at least I now know what my fear is technically called – I am scared of clowns.
I base my like on musical talent too not looks but if a really talented musician came out and said he/she is all for having sex with children then I wouldn’t listen or support anymore.
Hmmm, favorites – my tastes vary too wide and too much. I like everything from Christian rock to gospel to jazz to classic to alternative. I’m not a big fan of country – I do like some old classic blue grass banjo picking though but since my brother cut a country music CD (in Australia)- I have to at least listen to his music (he sounds a lot like Johnny Cash).
Right now, I like the band Muse, White Stripes, Evanescensce (sp?)and the Chili Peppers have always been favorites. I also like Audio Adrenaline.
Concerts: Stanley Jordan (jazz musician) at Tipitina’s – absolutely amazing. Eric Johnson (rock guitar) at HOB – great. I’ve seen LeRoux, Chicago, Styx, Moody Blues (great), Elton John, Billy Squier, Billy Idol, B-52’s (wonderful); Emerson, Lake, and Palmer; Black Flag (great), Dead Kennedy’s, Ramones, Butthole Surfers – twice in one weekend, TSOL (unbelievable), Ellis Marsailes, Charmaine Neville, the Neville brothers, and many other New Orleans musicians – especially jazz- that you can catch any night of the week there or you use to be able to catch them.
I can’t list 10 favorites and my list of likes is long including Jefferson Airplane, Styx but not Dennis solo, Led Zepplin, Hendrix, Norah Jones, No Doubt, Missing Persons, Zappa, Reggae music, etc.

False Evidence Appearing Real – my husband has the clown thing too – there are none in the house. Genesis, Gabriel, Neil Young , Pink Floyd (1000’s of songs – check out the list on line – incredible) P.O.D. (christian rock band) , Barlow Girls (mirror, another christian group), Jewel (real deep spirited) and various native drumming /nature music, anyone know this one -Keepin the black man on the run, ENYA – Favorite all time radio station AIR 1 – 89.5 and KCRW – 88.1 – some real kickin stuff especially on the weekends while playing the Wii – for all its worth – my favs

Biography of Korn, by Jason Ankeny & Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, CA-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP, the members of LAPD in 1993 crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn.
After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow-up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, MI, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order). Their annual Family Values tour also started in 1998, featuring a lineup that consisted of Korn collaborators such as Limp Bizkit and Ice Cube and likeminded artists such as Rammstein. The tour was an enormous success, so much so that it continued on with Korn overseeing the lineup for years after.
Issues followed in 1999, and in typical Korn fashion they debuted their new single in an episode of South Park. The band toured behind the album into the next year, but their efforts were cut short by an injury that took out drummer David Silveria. They hired former Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin to help them finish the remaining shows, and took a short rest before joining a summer tour with Metallica, Kid Rock, Powerman 5000, and System of a Down. (Silveria later returned amid rumors of leaving the band for a fashion career, but these stemmed from some modeling work he had done before his injury.) In the meantime, Fieldy released a gangsta rap album and Davis scored the film Queen of the Damned, but at the end of 2001 the band reunited as a unit and entered the studio. A few shows with Static-X helped iron the wrinkles out of the new material, and by the next summer they had Untouchables ready for release. Korn did a run of Ozzfest dates in support, and the album was another smash hit. The self-produced Take a Look in the Mirror arrived in 2003. Billed by the band as a reconsideration of their sound, the album was accompanied by a tour of smaller venues called “Back to Basics.”
In 2005, Welch left the band, evidently due to his newfound Christian faith. But Korn continued, playing shows that summer as a quartet and signing an expansive recording and development deal with Virgin. The following December they released See You on the Other Side, a number three hit that featured a batch of songs co-written with hitmaking production team the Matrix. Live & Rare, an aptly titled disc of live recordings and rarities, was released in May 2006 with the live acoustic recording MTV Unplugged following in March 2007.

socanative: I did see the Norah Jones interview – I really enjoyed it.
David – I know and like 1-8; don’t know 9-10. I like the U2 early stuff then I got quite tired of them. I find Muse very interesting with very diverse styles – their new song reminds me of Prince.

Thrice’s album, Vheissu, came out a little while ago, and it’s very ethereal. Very “oooh-aahhh” kinda thing. I really like it. Songs like “Atlantic,” “Stand and Feel Your Worth,” and especially “Red Sky.”
Thrice’s latest effort is due out soon, and will be a four-disc album, with one disc for each of the natural elements. It’s supposed to be a very progressive, experimental project, and I’m looking forward to it.
