James Shaffer was born in
Rosedale, California, on June 6th, 1970. One night while
sneaking out to a party and pushing his bike the chain slipped off.
He slapped his hand on it so it wouldn't make a noise but his finger
got caught and cut the top off. After that he played the
guitar to get rehabilitate. Munky says: "The doctor's like..you
got to rehabilitate your finger somehow, like take up a musical
instrument. And I said..how about guitar..he goes, that's
perfect" |
| Before joining
Korn Munky was in a band named LAPD with Head, David and Fieldy.
"Brian said..oh I know this guy from my highschool, so they
called me up, and they're like, do you want to come and try out for
our band, it wasn't that I could play, it was that I had long
hair" says Munky. "I sat down, Brian showed me the songs,
and then that's how we all just started playing together".
On stage Munky is often wearing a pair of old overalls. "I
wanted to wear something on stage that was like kinda trashy, dirty,
you know, because when I'm up there I feel like...sick" says
Munky. "Really what it is, it's like that person I don't like
in me, all the things I hate about myself, that's who I am up
there". Munky now sports a spanking clean pair of white
overalls with black X's down the chest. Munky says: "My
feet. I'd spread 'em out and everyone said they look like hands,
like monkey hands." That's how he got his nickname. |
