Well, what do you know?! Munky, the guitar player of Korn just left band’s current European tour (that the band started on January 13) and the band itself, due to personal and family reasons, as he says! So, European fans hoping they will get to see Munky playing his mad riffs this year, well, it won’t happen!
“We fully support Munky’s need to be home right now and because we want to come through for all of our European fans, the tour will go on. It’s what Munky wants us to do, too. We promise to give it our all every night!” (Jonathan Davis)
In addition to Davis and Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, KORN’s current touring lineup includes guitarist Shane Gibson and ex-ARMY OF ANYONE drummer Ray Luzier.
Interesting that on Korn website there is nothing about it for the moment.
Later edit: I observe that now the news appeared on Korn’s website also.
So, if only the lead singer and the bass player remained from the original band and the lead singer has solo ambitions, how long until Korn disbands?!
Also MetalSucks and MetalUnderground wrote about it.

I hope it too, since I don’t want any good band to disband, I know how it feels like and in their case money are involved too so it is not easy to lose it.

The great thing about guitar playing is that there are so many different styles of playing. In fact new ways are being invented all the time. With each new style of playing, there is a door opened for interpretation by millions of guitarists all over the world. What does this all really mean though?? I’ll tell you what it means. It means anybody anywhere can
learn how to find a way to express themselves uniquely with a guitar! I mean, when you really think about it, the guitar is the only instrument that can boast such versatility!!!!

This is true especially when you learn to play by your own rules, by yourself. At that moment you can only discover your way, your own style. Various inspiration sources all over the world can only help you define your unique style.
