Ex-Korn drummer David Silveria and his former bandmates have not had the best relationship after parting ways.
After leaving the group in 2006, Silveria reemerged 2013 to take a shot at his successor, saying current Korn drummer Ray Luzier "lacks groove" and that bassist Fieldy is "a cowardly little bitch." Korn and Silveria traded lawsuits with each other in both 2015 and 2019. Silveria has since said he apologized to his former bandmates, and has tried to intimate that he would love to be back in the band. But not so much that he actually listens to their current output.
So how does guitarist Brian "Head" Welch feel about Silveria? In a recent interview with No Fuckin’ Regrets With Robb Flynn, Welch said he misses Silveria and that he wishes him the best.
"I miss that guy. I haven’t seen him in forever. I know there’s been some negative things said in the press, whatever, back and forth. But I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. I see ’em online and they look like amazing people."
Silveria is currently working with a new band called Breaking In A Sequence. Previously, Silveria has said he has matured and hopes to rekindle his friendship with the band:
I have apologized to all members of korn. I was immature,hurt and mad that after head they wouldn’t let me back in. Specifically because the year before head came back I personally talked to head and tried to get him to along with me talk to the guys about both of us going back to korn.
At that time head said “David, you and I are good friends. But don’t call me if you are only going to try to get me to go back to korn. I will never go back.” Then less than a year later he goes back to korn. On our phone call he said very negative things about korn which I won’t repeat.
The things I said were wrong and mean. I haven’t said anything negative about korn in years now. I have the upmost respect for the guys and an appreciation for every one of those guys. The end”
