One of the things we had on our 'to-do' list when we were 12 was to play on stage with Korn. We never made it, but perhaps the latest news from the Korn camp will give hope to the kids of today.
It probably also helps that his dad is Robert Trujillo, of Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies fame, but 12 year-old Tye Trujillo is all set to join Korn, playing a run of seven dates in South America while usual bass extraodinairre, Fieldy is off the stage (for unforseen circumstances).
Usually, replacing your full-time bassist with a kid one quarter of your band's average age would be a risky move, but take a squiz at the young bassmaster's talents below with his own band The Helmets!
