SCENE 1

It was supposed to be the biggest, most mainstream press exposure the hard rock band Korn had gotten to date: the cover of Spin magazine. Yet two weeks after the interview, the band’s management company, the Firm, called and offered me ten thousand dollars not to write the article.

Evidently Fieldy, the band’s bassist, had gotten into a fistfight with Spin’s creative director during the photo shoot and the band didn’t want to be on the cover anymore.

An hour later, an editor at Spin called and said the magazine was thinking of killing the story because the band had called another staffer at the photo shoot “a cunt.”

“That’s part of their charm,” I explained.

By that point, I’d spent enough time with these five misfits from Bakersfield, California, to see them piss off just about everybody they crossed paths with. At the Fuji Rock Festival in Tokyo, Fieldy picked a fight with a member of Primal Scream by repeatedly insisting, “You look like my uncle Bob.” An hour later, he was annoying Garbage singer Shirley Manson by repeatedly sticking a toy keychain in her face and setting off various sounds without a word of explanation. Meanwhile, Korn singer Jonathan Davis was yelling at drum-and-bass star Goldie, “Fuck you, dick!” And Junkie XL, a dance musician from Amsterdam, turned down dinner with Korn because he thought the band members were assholes.
