Korn guitarist Brian \u201cHead\u201d Welch recently showed some love to current alternative metal stars Deftones. In the below newly posted video on his social media, Welch can be seen wearing a Deftones x Dickies throwback shirt<\/a> \u2014 a long-bootlegged design Deftones officially resurrected last fall. Welch also busted out an acoustic guitar for a brief cover of Deftones\u2018 2x platinum 1997 single \u201cMy Own Summer (Shove It)\u201d in the clip.<\/p>\n

He ended the video with a shot of himself hanging with Israel Arvizu, son of \u2018retired\u2019 Korn bassist<\/a> Reginald \u201cFieldy\u201d Arvizu. Israel has followed in his father\u2019s footstep, playing bass in n\u00fc-metal outfit PlaYuH. Below you can watch him pick up where his dad left off, handling the low end duties on a cover of Korn\u2018s 1996 track \u201cNo Place To Hide\u201c.<\/p>\n

While Korn and Deftones were nearly inseparable in the mid to late 90s, Deftones sought to break free of the n\u00fc-metal trappings with 2000\u2019s \u201cWhite Pony\u201c. That desire to establish an identity all their own led the band to distance themselves from Korn, Limp Bizkit and more. That past tension has been covered extensively in the past<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Back in 2017, Welch himself lamented the rift of sorts<\/a> that grew between Korn and Deftones, stating of Deftones vocalist\/guitarist Chino Moreno, \u201cChino, Chino don\u2019t like Korn or any of us man. He won\u2019t tour with Korn \u2019cause we\u2019re not cool enough for him.\u2019 Welch further stated in that interview:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they [Deftones] got too cool for us somewhere down the line. No but, he just said some stuff recently in the press and it got out there that [he wouldn\u2019t tour with Korn] and then all these fans hit him and said [Welch made an angry expression] so the next day he was like \u2018I love Korn, I want to tour with them next year.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, as fans of both outfits are likely well aware, that tour has yet to materialize. Whether or not the two outfits have fully patched things up behind the scenes is unclear, but members of the two outfits have hung out together<\/a> in the years since Welch\u2018s comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Korn guitarist Brian \u201cHead\u201d Welch recently showed some love to current alternative metal stars Deftones.
