'Kerrang!' Readers Love Korn
Not the "Most Shaggable Bloke?" What were those youngsters thinking?
Readers of the metal mag Kerrang! have voted Korn's Life is
Peachy as Best Album of the Year (the year being '96, natch) and lead
growler Jonathan Davis as Best Dressed Rock Star, although the band did place
second behind Metallica in Best Band category and, not surprisingly, behind
Marilyn Manson in the Hype of '96 horse race.
However, we just don't know
what to make of the "Most Shaggable Bloke" contest, in which singer Davis had
to step aside for the man with the worst hair in New Jersey (and that's no
joke), Jon Bon Jovi. Had there been a category for Best Approximation of a
Singer Gargling with Broken Glass, Davis, who had to bow out of two recent
shows in Sweden because of a trashed voice, would surely have taken that one
hands down.
