Mmmmmhmmm...don't most bands take breaks AFTER they finish an album???????

NOT David Silveria, drummer from KORN. He announced he is taking a 'temporary' break BEFORE the new album's finished - and the band's gonna continue recording without him!

We're still in the dark about what brought on this abrupt exit. What Dave, did u get drummers block?

The band already had to cut the Family Values Tour short because lead singer Jonathan Davis had some crazy ass blood clotting disease.

On a lighter note, KORN's "Unplugged" performance went very well! Supposedly, the band went onstage, unrehearsed, and nailed their acoustic performance. Kick Ass!
