KoRn Bassist Fieldy Wrote A Book
14 March 2009вЂGot the Life: My Journey of Addiction, Faith, Recovery and Korn’ was released this week.
The book includes letters Fieldy (born Reginald Arvizu) wrote to each band member apologizing for his past bad behavior.
Fieldy said he gave an advance copy to guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer but he has yet to hear his reaction. He said he expects frontman Jonathan Davis to read it as well. He didn't give them the letters privately because he wanted to be open about his sobriety.
Fieldy, 39, struggled with alcohol, drugs and overeating.В He also was a womanizer and liked to intimidate anyone, male or female, who disagreed with what he calls "Fieldy's rules."
He quit cold turkey when his father, a born-again Christian, told him his dying wish was for his son to find God. Now he's married with three children and working on a new album with Korn and his side project, Stillwell.
Asked if he fears toВ get in same position asВ former bandmate, Brian "Head" Welch, who faced criticism when he decided to follow God and quit drugs, Fieldy said:
"I didn't go and quit anything. I remained who I am, so I don't know if anybody wants to criticize. I'm still me. I made some changes, I didn't go around telling everybody I was ready to make changes, I just remained me. I may get more criticism today in putting this book out than I have. You know, maybe this is my time, but I'm ready to take the criticism and answer anybody's questions."
