Following the successful run of their album 'see you on the other side', Bakersfield nu-metallers Korn decided to hit the road and kick off their world touring their home town in February 24. In a move usually reserved for hero's of a more political kind, the date was officially declared 'Korn Day' by Mayor Harvey Hall at a ceremony where the band were presented with a bronze plaque to celebrate a lifetime of achievement at the Rabobank Arena. The band also had a street close to the venue named 'Korn Row' in their honor.
Korn's cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began its existence as the Bakersfield, CA-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch, bassist Reginald "Fieldy Snuts" Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP, the members of LAPD in 1993 crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart; they soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival, the quintet rechristened itself KoRn.
After signing to Epic's Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose the charts, eventually going gold.Their annual Family Values tour also started in 1998, featuring a lineup that consisted of Korn collaborators such as Limp Bizkit and Ice Cube and likeminded artists such as Rammstein. The tour was an enormous success, so much so that it continued on with KoRn overseeing the lineup for years after
