===Comments on Korn since leaving===
Since January 2012, Silveria has become vocal about his time in Korn, and has often spoken negatively about the band, its members and in some cases its outspoken fans, during conversations on [[Korn]] fansite Kornspace. Although David maintains no relationship with his former bandmates, he has stated that he has no hard feelings towards guitarist [[James Shaffer]]. However, Silveria has spoken less fondly of singer [[Jonathan Davis]] and bassist [[Reginald Arvizu]]. David states that his relationship with Korn was flawed due to them not letting him back in the band after his long absence.{{better source|date=December 2012}} <!-- Kornspace no longer exists.--> David mentioned during his conversation with fans on Kornspace.com that he had contacted previous band member [[Brian Welch]] about a [[Korn]] reunion tour but Head refused the offer. David also confirmed his comments that he left [[Korn]] due to "negative attitudes" and that he "couldn't take it anymore". He mentioned at that point that he has not spoken with [[Jonathan Davis]] since November 2006.

On January 7, 2013, guitarist [[Brian Head Welch]] stated in an Interview that "David has really said some crazy things online about personal things and he’s not in a place where people would really want him around.

On May 13, 2013 Pittsburgh Music Magazine posted a review of Korn's first show with returning guitarist [[Brian Head Welch]]. The magazine had been spending time back stage with members of [[Korn]] who appear to have stated to the magazine the unlikelihood of Silveria ever returning to [[Korn]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pittsburghmusicmagazine.com/2013/05/16/korn-begins-reunion-tour-2013-with-brain-head-welch-in-belle-vernon-pa/ |title=Korn Begins Reunion Tour 2013 with Brian “Head” Welch in Belle Vernon, PA |publisher=Pittsburgh Music Magazine |date= |accessdate=2013-11-27}}</ref>

However, Jonathan Davis stated on Twitter that "I will never never play with him again," (which appears to be a reference to the title of Korn's first single 'Never Never' from its latest album ''[[The Paradigm Shift]]''). David also stated his interest in rejoining the band on his Facebook page, explaining that he "would restore the groove" he believes has been lost since drummer [[Ray Luzier]] joined the band back in 2007.<ref>[http://www.celebrityballa.com/2013/08/silveria-korn-restore-would-groove-david ]{{dead link|date=November 2013}}</ref>

Biography

1993 to 2006: Korn

Silveria was one of the original five members of the nü metal band Korn. Bandmates Brian Welch, James Shaffer and Reginald Arvizu took up pseudonyms, while Silveria and singer Jonathan Davis remained using their real names. Korn proceeded to popularize the alternative metal sub-genre in the music industry, selling over 40 million albums worldwide. Silveria sat out a part of the "Sick and Twisted 2000" and "Summer Sanitarium" tours due to injury, with Mike Bordin from Faith No More filling in on drums. Silveria then returned for the album recording of Untouchables, Silveria's own explanation for the issue was that he "hits too fucking hard".

On December 13, 2006, after the tour in support of See You on the Other Side, it was announced that Silveria would be going on hiatus, and Jonathan Davis later said Silveria would "probably not" appear on their next album.[1] Silveria has since started running his restaurants. In 2009, after working with several different temporary drummers, Ray Luzier was announced as the official replacement.

2006 to 2012: Leaving Korn and hiatus

In June 2008, rumors began to surface that Silveria had joined a newly formed band called Satellite Syndrome, but it was eventually confirmed that the rumors were false and Silveria was not involved with the band. Silveria did not give any interviews during his hiatus. He dedicated his time and efforts to his children and running his steak house and sushi restaurant. In December 2009, David changed his steak house into a Rock and Sports themed bar in downtown Huntington Beach California called "Silvera's RockBar", and no longer owns 50% of shares of his sushi restaurant, agreeing to terms to sell his half of ownership over to his ex-wife after a year long court battle. In an interview with HeadBanger's Blog, Jonathan Davis said that he had not spoken to David since his hiatus.

For the first time in three years David appeared promoting Lil' Kim in Dancing with the Stars, he also introduced himself as "David Silveria from Korn". In May 2010, Silveria appeared as a model for Remetee clothing.[2][dead link‍] Lead singer of Korn, Jonathan Davis, stated on 7/25/2011 during a korn.com chat with fans that the reason for Silveria's departure was the same as Brian "Head" Welch's. [citation needed] Jonathan stated "The reason is drugs. They fuck everything up..."[This quote needs a citation][citation needed] During a chat conversation with fans on a Korn fansite, Kornspace, on February 1, 2012, David stated that "Those guys played wasted almost every night and I never even had a single drink before I hit the stage."[citation needed] Despite being recorded drinking Coors Light before going on stage, as seen in Korn's DVD release Who Then Now?.[citation needed]
