On KORN's upcoming "Prepare For Hell Tour" with SLIPKNOT and KING 810:
Davis: "I think we're gonna probably do a little bit heavier setlist and just prepare fans for a big ol' party. It's gonna be the exact opposite of what SLIPKNOT brings, which is just really heavy, heavy, heavy, fast metal. We do more of a party-type vibe. I think it's gonna be a good show, 'cause nobody wants to see that twice, you know what I mean? It'll be something for everyone. Something different."
On the musical direction of KORN's next album:
Davis: "We never can tell until we get in a room together. It goes all over the place. When the band gets together and writes… 'Cause we write together as a band, and I write on my own, Head [guitarist Brian Welch] writes stuff on his own. So it just depends. Once we get into a room and go through all that stuff, that's when we know what direction we're gonna go… I'm always [writing and recording music]. [Laughs] I've got a music problem; I'm addicted to music, so I've got a ton of stuff. But we've gotta get all the guys together, 'cause we all live in different places, so when everybody gets in one spot, we start writing actually as a band. We record where we grew up, in Bakersfield. We've got Buck Owens' old studio, which a lot of huge records were recorded out of there, so we really like it there. It's a got a good vibe there."
On how KORN plans to celebrate — both personally and as a band — the 20th anniversary of the release of its debut album:
Davis: "Personally, I don't know how I'm gonna celebate. But as a release, I know we're gonna start doing, on festivals, we're gonna play the first album in its entirety. We're gonna start doing that. We're even gonna play [the song] 'Daddy' [which Jonathan wrote about his painful experience of being molested as a child and not being believed]. And I said I would never do it, but I'm gonna do it anyway. So we're gonna do the complete album in its entirety and then tag on some songs at the end of the show. So it should be pretty cool. But it's gonna be very stripped down. I think we will recapture what we were doing at that time, when we were coming up. It was our first album, we didn't have any production, it was just one backdrop. So I think it'll be kind of like that down-and-dirty, cool, old-school vibe, and we'll do the first record… [We'll start doing that later] this year. Once the 20th anniversary hits [on October 11], we'll start doing it."
