In my opinion, Fieldy is a sorry excuse for a bassist - oops! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to use the word "bassist" in the same sentence with Fieldy. "Chainsaw artist" is more like it!

Punk's not good? Listen to the maxell murder bass solo.

I'm not in to punk.....but You said exactly what I was thinkin! Matt Freeman's solo on maxwell murder is something to at least bat an eye at. He's a PUNK, BASSIST, and DRIVES the whole band. So hats off

I think Fieldy is a pretty cool player. I still can't play his slap part on "Got the Time". I agree that he can be predictable, but I think he has some phat grooves particulary on the first and last albums. I think his fingerstyle reggae and funk lines are under-appreciated (although Bootsy Collins nor the dude from Sublime he isn't) I like his synth lines also. For me he just isn't boring, there's not as much musicianship in Korn (maybe except the drummer) as turning pretty things and funky dance grooves and making them dark and heavy. I don't think Fieldy wants to all that much. He just wants to play and make money. Although if Korn had a straight playing drummer Fieldy might be in trouble. He is a hip-hopper so maybe his solo album will show more of his talents.

Bearing in mind that he has no talent of course.

He is good to those who thinks he is good.... if you don't like what he has to offer, then don't listen

Fieldy is cool jonothan davies is cool the way he sings is cool like in twist and im not a 14 year old im actually 32 and i can play all his lines but they r cool

I think the only reason fieldy is given the credit he gets is because his band is seen on mtv.
Personally I think he blows his idea of slap is about as skillful as a 2 year olds. oh yeah and he still hasent learned the meaning of intracritcy.

True, fieldy doesn't have the most complicated style of bass. It is a bit diffrent that what most people play so he get's a bit more attention and it sounds cool to the casual observer. He's not incredibly talented but the press he gets his cause his band is popular. I don't really lose all that much sleep over the fact that the backstreet boys are making millions of dollars and that they are crap.

Same situation as fieldy. His method of playing appeals to the masses and it works for the music. He plays rap/metal. The bass only has to be about 4-notes anyway. I like korn and I think he fits into the band's sound quit well so leave the guy alone.

I guess that's my two cents

J

i agree with you totally hes nothing great i think its cause he plays his bass vertical on their videos stupid really but hey thats korn for you DAN

Ah yeah, but so did Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones.

good point on wyman i have no response to this so you have outsmarted me this time lol bye DAN
