David silveria why he left korn

After leaving the group in , he reemerged in the summer of to take a shot at his successor, saying current Korn drummer Ray Luzier " lacks groove. Silveria has since said he apologized to his former bandmates, and has tried to intimate that he would love to be back in the band. But not so much that he actually listens to their current output.

And I'm sick and tired of taking all these painkillers,'" he said. And he said, 'Your back's been broken for over a year. Although issues stemming from his back injury contributed to his split with KORN , Silveria says that a lack of communication between him and the other guys in the band were ultimately to blame for his decision to leave KORN. I just quit talking to them and they quit talking to me, and that was kind of it… There was never any reason I can think of, but it just seemed like at a point, we kind of stopped communicating with each other like we had in the past.

I think everyone kind of grew apart a little bit. People, bandmembers would start being kind of demanding about things, and instead of talking as a band, individuals would start calling our managers and talking to them about things. And it kind of broke up the communication between all of us as a band. And I think once that started to happen, the relationships between everyone kind of steadily went on a decline.

Just because the communication had broken down to the point where it wasn't even a band anymore — it was just kind of like a business. And we weren't really even talking to each other anymore. And it just kind of sucked all the fun out of it; it wasn't nearly as much fun as it used to be, and it kind of made it where it was almost like faking being passionate sometimes about things.

David explained that problems between him and the other members of KORN began as early as — two years before he exited the group. When we started the band, we were all just really good friends; it was a really great relationship… I think that bums me out the most — that we lost communication with each other.

That kind of drove a wedge. I'm sure it wasn't even intentional on anyone's part; it's just kind of how things happened. Silveria originally sued KORN in February , insisting that his exit from the group was merely a hiatus and that he was rebuffed when he tried to return to the band in So how does guitarist Brian "Head" Welch feel about Silveria? But I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. Previously, Silveria has said he has matured and hopes to rekindle his friendship with the band: I have apologized to all members of korn.

Specifically because the year before head came back I personally talked to head and tried to get him to along with me talk to the guys about both of us going back to korn.
