Reginald Arvizu - KORN Bass Player

REGINALD "Fieldy/Reggie" ARVIZU (born November 2, 1969 in Bakersfield, California) is the bass guitar player for the band Korn.

First band - L.A.P.D (the name first stood for "Love and Peace, Dude", but this abbreviation was later changed to "Laughing As People Die"). Although L.A.P.D. did succeed in signing a record deal, their success was limited until the band hired singer Jonathan Davis and changed their name to Korn.



KORN - occasionally typeset as KoЯn, is often credited with creating and popularizing the nu metal genre. Along with other bands at the time, they have also inspired many nu metal and alternative metal bands throughout the mid 1990s and early 2000s.
