Watch out for the Korn man

FRESH - or not so - from Download, former Korn frontman Jonathan Davis takes his Alone I Play tour to The Leadmill on Thursday.
In spite of multi-platinum success with his previous hard rock employers, the American claims: "I have wanted to do this forever."
Davis launched the tour in Poland and headlines Download's Gibson Stage on Sunday.
"Ever since I did the Queen Of The Damned record I have wanted to be able to play those songs live.
"The US dates were a blast.
"Kids packed themselves into these small venues and rocked out.
"This is a more personal experience for me and a chance for European fans to see it up close in small rooms."
With a different band behind him, Davis draws from the entire Korn repertoire with obscure tracks and fan favourites, The Queen Of The Damned soundtrack and select covers, focusing on songs he's rarely – and in many cases, never – performed live before.
Since Korn's inception Davis has been venerated for his visceral personal tales, exploring anger, inner life and the "painful closeness between love and hate".
The band's last album was their seventh consecutive top 10.
