"I'm happy that they're gonna play, but I just hope Fred just isn't an ass like he usually is," he said. "We'll see what happens. Hopefully Fred's got it together, 'cause there was one time when Fred was a really cool guy. The fame hit and went to his head. So I miss the old Fred

The Pulse of Radio reports:

KORN and LIMP BIZKIT toured together several times during the late '90s, most notably on the first edition of KORN's Family Values tour, and the two bands were right at the forefront of the "nu-metal" movement at the time. But now that LIMP BIZKIT is reuniting after being on hiatus for several years, KORN frontman Jonathan Davis told The Pulse of Radio that his relationship with singer Fred Durst has been strained for a while.

"I'm happy that they're gonna play, but I just hope Fred just isn't an ass like he usually is," he said. "We'll see what happens. Hopefully Fred's got it together, 'cause there was one time when Fred was a really cool guy. The fame hit and went to his head. So I miss the old Fred. He was my buddy. So maybe he's humbled now and if he's like that then I'd definitely hang with him and be friends with him again." LIMP BIZKIT announced last month that its original lineup was getting back together for a summer tour and new album, its first since 2003. KORN and LIMP BIZKIT will play on several European festivals together this summer, which will give Fred and Jonathan a chance to renew their friendship.

LIMP BIZKIT guitarist Wes Borland has played guitar on some tracks for Davis' upcoming solo album, which he hopes to finish recording later this year.
