Korn and More Talk The '80s In Honor of "Take Me Home Tonight" - ARTISTdirect News: Has it really been 30 years since the '80s ushered in a decade of excess, big hair, good music and even better movies? Yes, yes it has. There '80s were king and when we chatted with Korn during their respective video and print interviews, we had to poll them on what they loved and revered about the long gone '80s. It's like stepping into a time machine, that's for sure.
Jonathan Davis: It was all music! That was the most intense musical time of my life. That's when I was going through junior high and high school. It seemed like there was such an amazing scene and so many different styles of music going on at that time. It was really an incredible era for music. We've talked about The Cure. Back then, you had the New Wave thing and the New Romantics-style movement. You had the '80s hair glam movement. You had the rock movement. You had bands like Nine Inch Nails, Front 242, and Skinny Puppy going on. There were so many different fucking things going on. It was amazing. You could be a fan of all that.
James "Munky" Shaffer: I think my favorite '80s memory would be driving my mom's car to rehearsal with David and Reggie in David's garage. He had a little studio setup for his drums. We'd meet over at his house, and I remember having the feeling that three of us had some chemistry there. It was cool. It was like 1986 and 1987. We were rehearsing in David's garage, and I was driving my mom's 1977 Ford Granada over there. I had a guitar case with Steve Vai's picture on the inside of it [Laughs]. When I opened up my guitar case, I'd be like, "Yeah, give me the power, bro! Give me the mojo!"
