Got the Life: My Journey of Addiction, Faith, Recovery, and Korn Kindle Edition
From the Back Cover
From Korn's legendary bassist comes a no-holds-barred look at the extreme highs and drug-and-booze-fueled lows of the biggest heavy metal band of our era.
What have you got when you got the life?
From the time he was an infant, music was in Fieldy's bones. Leaving his small California town after high school with a guitar and little else, he joined Brian "Head" Welch, James "Munky" Shaffer, drummer David Silveria, and Jonathan Davis in L.A. and together they formed a band with a completely new sound. When Korn exploded, skyrocketing to the top and fronting the nu-metal phenomenon, Fieldy became a rock star and acted like one—as notorious for his hard-partying, womanizing, drug-abusing, bad-boy behavior as he was for his one-of-a-kind bass lines. He was unfaithful, abusive, mean, sometimes violent. Fieldy had the life. But it took the death of his father, a born-again Christian, from a mysterious illness to save the son from total destruction. Fieldy found God . . . and the best part of himself.
With never-before-seen photos, and never-before-heard stories, Got the Life is raw, candid, and inspiring—the ultimate story of rock and redemption.

Brian "Head" Welch wrote a book similar to this a couple of years back which is a VERY good read. I genuinely believed Head's testimonial's and words because HE LEFT KORN! Fieldy is still in KoRn which is a secular band last I heard. I'm not saying a person has to be in a Christian band if they are a Christian, but KoRn couldn't be further from the type of band Fieldy needs to be in now. Maybe KoRn is drug & alcohol-free, but I know for a fact the road crew, entourage, and the other bands they tour with aren't entirely drug & alcohol-free. If Fieldy has genuinely found God, I don't find it credible for him to still be in KoRn. Head isn't living the rock star life AT ALL. He determined that to be truly reformed, he must rid himself of KoRn.
Mostly I don't like how Fieldy copied Head. And Fieldy was always my least favorite member of KoRn so Head's book is more original.
