| 1. "The concept behind Issues came together at the start of the first Family Values tour in 1998. That's when I decided that I had to stop drinking and doing a lot of other stuff. The album captures all the feelings I went through during the 'hell tour'. I've never held back with lyrics. I think people can see that, so on this album I just lay it all out there to help me get it out of my system. It's my way of venting, I guess." | |||||||||||||||||
| 2. "Issues is a concept-like album. Usually on concept albums artists try to become someone else and they tell a story. This album is just a story of what I went through during the time Follow The Leader came out. That's when I started battling my anxiety problems and all the sudden fame and attention towards the band and how we dealt with it. There are songs about how we just got really stressed out and it's one long story of the battles I went through- both mentally and physically. It was tough dealing with the success of the band. I'm more proud of this album than anything else we've ever done." | |||||||||||||||||
| 3. "We always listen to the fans. They really know what they want-- and a lot of the time they know what's best for us. They're the ones telling us what to play on this tour, and we're listening to them. We have it all set up on our internet site so that they can tell us exactly which songs they want to hear... and those are the ones we'll play." | |||||||||||||||||
| 4. "I think one of my goals was always to have KoRn become one of those bands that helped define an era. When you think about a band like Metallica, or Led Zeppelin, you have a certain mental image not only of the way they look and the way they sound, you almost get a feeling about the era in which they emerged. That's what I want for us. I want people to hear the name 'KoRn' and have all thoughts and images run through their brains." | |||||||||||||||||
| 5. "One time I watched somebody snorting coke out of a girl's asshole! He blew it in, then he f*cking sucked it out with a straw. It was propably wet, but he still tasted it" (Comment from the mag: "Blergh!") |
