Got the Life

From Korn's legendary bassist comes a no-holds-barred look at the extreme highs and lows of a major heavy metal band. From infancy, Fieldy watched his dad's band perform. After high school, with a bass guitar and little else, he left his small California town for L.A. Before long, he and four other musicians gelled into a band with a completely new sound. Korn exploded to the top of the charts and fronted the nu metal phenomenon. Fieldy was thrust into the fast-paced, hard-rocking spotlight. Korn toured incessantly, creating intense live shows fueled by wild offstage antics. Fieldy became a rock star, and he acted like one, notorious for his hard-partying, womanizing, bad-boy ways. After alienating friends and family, nearly destroying himself and the band, it took the death of his father to straighten him out. Fieldy found God, quit drugs and drinking cold turkey, and found the best part of himself.--From publisher description.
