David Silveria se disculpa con los fans de Korn

David Silveria es el baterista original de Korn, y en 2006 dejó a la banda para dedicarse a otros proyectos, siendo acusado por Jonathan Davis de haber perdido su pasión por la música, lo cual deja ver otras cosas, toda vez que ha seguido tocando y tiene otra banda llamada Infinika.

Asimismo, Silveria se disculpa con todos los fans de Korn por no unirse a la celebración de los 20 años del albúm…

No one is more excited about the duo/super group, INFINIKA more than RockRevolt!  We caught up with front man, Riz Story and drummer, David Silveria to talk about the debut album, Echoes and Traces anticipated for September 1st.

I’m very curious to know how you each got into in music – not necessarily the journey, but what triggered the interest enough to make this your lifestyle?

Riz Story: For…

Former KORN Drummer's #INFINIKA: New Music Available For Streaming  INFINIKA is:

Riz Story (ANYONE): Lead Vocals, Guitars Rob Patterson (KORN, FILTER): Guitar Miles Martin (ANYONE): Bass David Silveria (KORN): Drums

Silveria surfaced recently to answer fan questions on his Facebook page, during which he gave the current version of the group a little bit of a slam while emphasizing how important he was to the group's original sound and even how they came together. Asked if he had heard the new KORN single, "Never Never", Silveria replied, "For all the fans asking the answer is no I have not heard a new KORN song. All I can say is I'm sure it's not funky and groovy like the original KORN. I don't even need to hear it to know that."

Silveria added, "I am a funky groove drummer and Ray [Luzier, current KORN drummer) is a heavy metal drummer. That's why KORN will never sound as unique as we used to . . . KORN lost their groove."

Silveria claimed he wasn't "talking crap" about his former group, but then went on to say, "Until they have the real 'funky drummer' it's just not gonna groove the way it could. I've made it clear that I would come back and restore the groove."

Silveria was the second member of KORN's original lineup to depart, leaving in late 2006. Guitarist Brian "Head" Welch exited the group in 2005. But while Welch continued as a solo artist until rejoining KORN this year, Silveria retired to Huntington Beach, California and opened a restaurant.

Singer Jonathan Davis told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that he believed Silveria lost his passion for music. "David was there to write beats but he wasn't really there," he said. "He really didn't like playing drums. The first two albums, I think, he really enjoyed playing drums and then after that he just lost his love for playing drums. It happens. Okay, good for him, he wanted to move on and do something else."

In other comments at his Facebook page, Silveria took credit for bringing Davis and Welch into the band, as well as getting them their management, saying, "None of them want to admit it was me . . . There are a lot of things I did for the band that they don't like to admit I did."

Silveria in February pleaded guilty to a charge of allegedly driving under the influence. In exchange, prosecutors dropped the hit-and-run charge in connection with the March 2012 incident in which the 40-year-old musician — who played with KORN for 13 years — rear-ended another car on his way to breakfast in Huntington Beach, California.

Tuesday.  I'm over this week already.  Blasting The Electric Age by Overkill (www.wreckingcrew.com) in the car today.

-Watched that video of Devin Townsend (www.hevydevy.com) playing "Back Where We Began" again.  Seriously stoked for Epicloud.

-Listening to Act III: Life and Death by The Dear Hunter (www.thedearhunter.com) while dealing with stupid people this morning.

-Listening to a new Dying Fetus (www.myspace.com/dyingfetus) song called "Subjected to a Beating".  It sounds pretty good, though the snare sound gets a little annoying at times.  I still don't know if I'll ever hear a better drum record than Destroy the Opposition.  Kevin Talley ftw.

-Watched a video of The Electric Hearts (www.theelectrichearts.com) performing their new song "Tired" on Lightning 100 last week.  Love this song, check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdMY-04gDh0

-Listened to "Heavy" by Andrew Combs (www.andrewcombs.net).  Great song.

-Watched a video for the new single "Beautiful World" by Infinika (www.infinika.com).  Song sucks.  Video sucks.  Miki Black is hot.  That is all to report.

-I usually don't talk about submissions I review on here, but when I come across something really good I don't think they'd mind if I give them a little shout-out.  Listened to a few songs by Jeremiah Cosner (www.jeremiahcosner.com).  Really great songs, cool vibe, good voice.  Sort of an alternative rock feel, but modern.  Check it out. 

-Checked out a band called Halo Stereo (www.halostereo.com).  Hard-ish rock, melodic.  Sounds like rock radio would eat this stuff up.  Cool melodies and strong songwriting.

-Just watched the new video for "Cry Thunder" by DragonForce (www.dragonforce.com).  Those guys are great musicians.  I saw them play in Sweden one time and was expecting them to suck based on reviews I had heard, but they were actually pretty good and a lot of fun.  I doubt I'll be picking up their new album (I can only handle so much at a time, it's absolutely ridiculous), but their new singer is good.

Wednesday.  Still jamming Kaleidoscope (www.vitekmusic.com) in the car.

-Checked out a promotion clip for David Silvera's new band, Infinika (www.infinika.com).  David is a really good drummer, but this band is not very good.  The guitar player is smoking hot, but doesn't look like she can really play guitar.  The singer is like what would result if Perry Ferrell mated with a cheetah.  Yuck.  Oh well.
