Reginald Arvizu
Encyclopedia
Reginald Quincy "Fieldy" Arvizu (born November 2, 1969 in Los Angeles County, California
) is the bassist
for the nu metal band Korn
, and guitarist
for the hard rock
band StillWell
.
, he and Brian Welch
, who would later become one of Korn's two guitarists (alongside James Shaffer
), had played together in a number of bands, having become friends while still at school. Upon their graduation from high school, Arvizu, Welch, Shaffer, and drummer David Silveria
relocated from Bakersfield to Los Angeles
and formed L.A.P.D
(the name first stood for "Love and Peace, Dude", but this abbreviation was later changed to "Laughing As People Die"). Although L.A.P.D. did succeed in signing a record deal, their success was limited until the band hired singer Jonathan Davis
and changed their name to Korn.
The name "Fieldy" is said to have come about as an inside joke. Originally, his band mates called him "Gopher", due to his large cheeks. Gopher quickly became "Gar", Gar became "Garfield" (based on the comic strip character
of the same name), and eventually "Gar" was dropped and a "y" was added to "Field", which became Fieldy. His full moniker is "Fieldy Snuts", which when spoken aloud sounds like "feel these nuts".
He plays a 5-string Ibanez
model SDGR SR5005, named the K-5, which is his signature bass.
His playing style consists of slapping, standard finger-style plucking, and left-hand muting; his standard tuning is: A, D, G, C, F. He states Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as being one of the main influences towards his playing style. He has also stated to have been influenced by Billy Gould
from Faith No More
.
Fieldy is also one of the main songwriters in Korn
. The majority of his bass riffs are hip-hop inspired. He says he gets inspiration from anything hip-hop. On the business side of Korn, Fieldy is responsible for all Korn merchandise, its buying and selling. He will come up with a number of designs, shows them to the band and they either approve or disapprove.
. Fieldy's Dreams
has released one album titled Rock'n Roll Gangster
.
Fieldy married girlfriend Dena Beber on Tuesday, 16 May 2006. Korn's guitarist, Munky
played nylon guitar at the wedding. It is her first marriage and his third. Fieldy has two daughters, Sarina and Olivia Arvizu, from his second marriage from Shela Arvizu; he and his current wife Dena had a son in early 2007 and named him Israel. Fieldy recently became a born-again Christian
.
Fieldy has stated that his second album, Bassically, is still in the works. Originally intended to be a hardcore rap album, Fieldy has scrapped the original idea in favor of a jazz fusion
style.

on a side project called StillWell
. The song "Killing Myself To Live" can be heard on their MySpace
page. Stillwell's debut album, Dirtbag
, is set to be released on May 10, 2011.
