Korn bassist says his new solo album is 'not heavy'
Korn bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu is putting the finishing touches on a new solo album, "Bassically", which he hopes to release later this year. He tells Aol's Noisecreep, "I'd say it's like a jazz fusion funk type of thing. Real new age, too. Different kinds of music. He adds, "I've always wanted to do it. When I was younger, learning bass, I listened to a lot of bass albums; Stanley Clarke, I grew up listening to that type of stuff."
"I don't want people to be confused and buy it and not like it. It's not heavy," he emphasizes. "I don't want people to get it and think, 'Man, I can't believe I bought this crap'. It's not meant to be heavy. If you like heavy and are not open-minded, you will not like this."
For the upcoming CD, Fieldy multi-tracked lead and rhythm parts using a 15-string bass, stand-up bass and fretless bass.
"It's insane, man. I did so many lead tracks and rhythm tracks," he tells Noisecreep. "Sometimes, it's chaotic. It kinda takes you on a ride through the CD, so you can have a mellow funk track next to a chaotic bunch of basses going crazy. Right now, I have 11 songs finished. I might do two more, but it's pretty much done."
