Korn bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, who has remained largely estranged from the band in recent years, has been photographed alongside Korn drummer Ray Luzier, sparking fresh speculation about his relationship with the pioneering nü-metal outfit.
The image, taken at the annual NAMM convention in Anaheim, CA late last month, shows Fieldy and Luzier standing next to one another — an unexpected sight given Fieldy‘s own admission last year that he hadn’t spoken to his bandmates since 2019. Whether the encounter signals any deeper reconciliation remains unclear, but it marks the first visible interaction between Fieldy and a Korn member in years.
Fieldy stepped away from Korn in 2021, citing the need to address his “bad habits.” While his initial statement raised concern among fans, he later clarified that those issues were not drug-related. Since then, Ra Díaz (Suicidal Tendencies) has filled in as Korn‘s live bassist, a role he continues to hold.
Despite his prolonged absence, Fieldy has technically remained listed as a member of Korn, even as his relationship with the band appeared distant. In a February 2025 interview on the Basement Talk podcast, Fieldy was candid about the lack of communication. “I haven’t talked to those guys since 2019,” he said. “They’re truckin’. They’re a machine, they’re going. It’s insane. It’s dope that they can keep on going like that.”
Asked whether there was still mutual respect between him and the band, Fieldy replied, “Yeah. It’s cool to see them keep on going. I’m like, I need to chill, I’m just kickin’ it.”
