FECAL CORPSE have posted the following update regarding their recent attempt
at performing in Canada:
"First off, F**K YOU TO THE CANADIAN GOVERNMNENT,
YOU GUYS ARE F**KING COCKFAGS So we get to the border and they're denying
us entry because we didn't have work visas and tried to get in. So we got
threatened with 3 weeks of jail time per member plus fines. So after 6
hours of interrogation (myself i had 2 personal hours of interrogation)
they decide to let us go because it's "not worth the time." The F**KING
POLICE said to let us go, the border patrol wanted to press charges. Now,
we're all not allowed in canada for 1 (one) years time and our merchandise
is BANNED from canada because it's deemed "offensive" so that's right kiddies
here's the deal, if you live in canada, buy our s***, show the canadian
government you don't f**king give two f**ks about "offensive and obscene

Korn
Gets Tagged |
Tagworld reports: TagWorld's Director of Music,
Patricia Dao meet up with Jonathan in his tour bus after KoRn's Family
Values performance at Hyundai Pavilion in San Bernardino. They sat down
and talked about his new record label, The Family Values Tour, the internet,
and gave words of wisdom to unsigned bands that are trying to make it.
Patty- Tell us about your record label?
Jonathan- I have my record label which is Elementree Records. It's basically
an imprint now and I'm looking for a band that I really believe in and
I can get behind. I hooked up with, and have always been a huge Deadsy
fan and I've always taken them when they've been on different labels. I
got them signed through Immortal, which is the label that signed us when
we first started out with "Happy". �.
Patty - What's the future for Korn after
"Family Values"? Jonathan- After "Family Values" I think we're going to
be going back into the studio and making another record. So, we're planning
on getting another one out there and then touring in Europe starting next
year, and then we will be touring again for another year. [see full story
