"And finally, and most importantly, after finishing a brief North American tour, SOULFLY will be heading to Europe to participate in many summer festivals in June. Some festivals confirmed so far include Download, Rock am Ring, Rock am Park, Pinkpop, Gods of Metal, and several others. They will also be supporting KORN on a tour through countries such as Switzerland, France, and Austria. Exact dates for these performances are still forthcoming."

JD speaks to MTV

Jonathan Davis has several grills, but Wednesday night he made sure to wear his favorite one.

"Everybody got diamonds, but I got rubies," he said, flashing a red sparkling smile.

The occasion was a studio collaboration with Atlanta snap hip-hop provocateurs Dem Franchize Boyz on a mash-up of their "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" and Korn's "Coming Undone."

"Rock and crunk, they the same thing," DFB's Apollo said at the landmark Village recording complex, where John Mayer was playing Ping-Pong in the lobby. "It's just two different names for it."

"It's all energy," Davis added. "Crunk music's like heavy hip-hop, so it mixes right. It's perfect."

The mash-up was actually suggested by Virgin Records, home to both Korn and Dem Franchize Boyz. And it turned out both acts were fans of each other.

"It's a family thing," DMF's Butter said in between bites of a midnight dinner. "The family came together and produced a nice thing. And we'll continue to work together."

Rather than just have a remix producer combine the two singles, the acts enlisted Scott Spock of the Matrix, who produced "Coming Undone," to mix elements from both tracks with new parts recorded specifically for the mash-up.

"The songs are at almost the same tempo and I knew it would work right off, so it was just [a matter of] going into the studio to make it happen," Davis said. "So we hooked up with the boys ... and they're talented. It's fun and just different."

Different is something Korn have been attracted to a lot as of late. Their just-wrapped arena tour featured four additional members (see "Korn Rock Hometown, Have Street Named After Them On 'Official Korn Day' "), and the band's about to perform acoustic for the first time in its 14-year career.

"We're doing 'AOL Acoustic Sessions,' " Davis said. "When that was first brought up to us, I was like, 'Hell no,' but then I got more into it. I thought it would be cool because what we did with the new album, we didn't want to set any kind of boundaries of what Korn should be. Korn doesn't have to be straight heavy metal."

For the acoustic set, Korn will play "Alone I Break," "Thoughtless," "Coming Undone" and "Falling Away From Me."

"It should be interesting," Davis said. "I can't wait to hear these songs acoustic, but a couple of them I wrote on acoustic guitar, so I know it'll translate. ... Hopefully fans will appreciate it. Some will hate it, but whatever. Who cares? We're gonna go for it. We haven't practiced, we're just showing up a couple of hours early and going for it."

As for those grills, Davis said he actually "rolls with them" more than fans might expect.

"I wear them onstage and everything," he said. "I never wanted to wear all kinds of rings and jewelry and sh--, but I might as well throw them on my teeth and it's all good."

Official KoRn MySpace bulletin gives new hope of Family Values return.

A new official KoRn MySpace bulletin posted today has given new hope of the classic Family Values Tour to return, which has been strongly rumoured for a while.

The bulletin plainly reads:
"Family Values is coming..." and was also posted on the Deftones official MySpace webpage.

To recap, the Family Values Tour was created by KoRn in 1998 to be an annual nu-metal tour. KoRn headlined the first tour, then passed the headlining spot to Limp Bizkit in 1999. The tour took the year off in 2000, due to heavy competition.

Since the tour started, many bands have featured on the bill, such as Incubus, Orgy, Limp Bizkit, Ice Cube, Rammstein, Primus, Staind, Method Man & Redman, The Crystal Method, Filter, Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, Static-X, and Deadsy.

Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer recently hinted its return when he spoke to Launch Radio Networks.

"We're trying to put together something similar to, like, a Family Values kind of a thing," he said.

"We don't know if we're gonna call it that or not, but we wanna put together something sort of a festival feel, where there's four bands on the main stage and then there's four or five bands on a side stage.

"We want to make our own KoRnfest type of thing."

According to Hard Drive Radio, KoRn's newly announced upcoming Family Values Tour is set to kick off in Virginia Beach this July.

Hard Drive Radio have promised the tour is going to be "really great" and will launch on Friday, 28 July in eastern America in Virginia Beach, Virginia -- just under four weeks after a large European trek.

Current rumoured acts to hit the tour are KoRn, Deftones, Flyleaf, Wolfmother & Dir En Grey.
