RANT! has posted an article about Jonathan Davis's mic stand, check it out:
Giger and Davis: artists of like mind - Rant!: "Jonathan Davis’s mic stand is no mere object; it is an animated entity charged with iconic status, colossal presence and a magnanimous mania that is ravenously and indefatigably absorbed by fans. On tour, Korn is preceded by Davis’s mic, which never fails to incite delirious hysteria. The mic has come to be a tangible representation of Korn, and more specifically an embodiment of the charismatic singer for whom it was designed; a singer who Doug Small called “the eye of the storm around which the music of Korn rages.”
In 2001, Davis, a fan of HR Giger’s work, was only too pleased when the Swiss artist accepted a commission to come up with a design for a mic stand for the Korn frontman. Davis’s only stipulation was “a functional piece of art,” and the otherworldly, biomechanical, oversexualized female creature that Giger produced couldn’t have been more apt. When Davis performs, he and the mic merge into one – Giger’s creation so perfectly, beautifully and agonisingly exaggerates and amplifies Davis’s tormented soul. The vile, sordid eroticism inherent in Giger’s work proved to be the perfect premise on which to bring Jonathan Davis, the heart of Korn, to life."
