InfluencesA few years before establishing Korn, James “Munky” Shaffer; Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu; and David Silveria (who were three members of the funk rock band L.A.P.D.), alongside friend Brian “Head” Welch, all had the common influences of Red Hot Chili Peppers and especially the Faith No More album The Real Thing.WEB, March 12, 2021,www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-01-19-ca-26487-story.html, January 19, 1996, Turning a Big Korner : Bright Year Seen for H.B.-Based Band as Album Sales Boom, Mike, Boehm, Mike Boehm, Los Angeles Times, January 19, 1996, Likewise, Davis was greatly inspired by the adventurousness of The Real Thing upon its 1989 release: “It showed everybody you could do heavy music and not be ‘metal’.

In this way, they discovered Patton’s avant-garde metal band Mr. Bungle, whose 1991 self-titled album had a long-standing impact on Korn’s experimentation, dissonance, and eccentric stylings.WEB,www.theskinny.co.uk/music/opinion/under-the-influence-korns-james-munky-shaffer, Under the Influence: Korn’s James “Munky” Shaffer, The Skinny (magazine), The Skinny, Kerr, Dave, January 6, 2015, April 10, 2018, live,www.theskinny.co.uk/music/opinion/under-the-influence-korns-james-munky-shaffer," title="web.archive.org/web/20150624014512www.theskinny.co.uk/music/opinion/under-the-influence-korns-james-munky-shaffer,">web.archive.org/web/20150624014512www.theskinny.co.uk/music/opinion/under-the-influence-korns-james-munky-shaffer, June 24, 2015, A notable example of Bungle’s influence has been what Korn dubbed the “Mr. Bungle chord” (a flat fifth chord or “tritone“), which became a band trademark throughout their discography.MAGAZINE, June 1997, Kornography, Nick, Bowcott, Guitar World, Besides the projects of Patton, Korn had a wide range of influences that included groove-oriented metal acts such as Sepultura, Prong, and Biohazard, in addition to the dynamics and live performances of Rage Against the Machine and its frontman Zack de la Rocha. Head later explained that they tried to mix the weird elements of Bungle with catchy choruses and melodies, alongside the songwriting and grooves from those metal bands.
