It’s hard to believe that the Family Values Tour is entering its 20th year anniversary. Back in 1998, the tour didn’t involve the Deftones, but it included KoRn, Rammstein, Ice Cube, Orgy, Incubus, and Limp Bizkit. During that time, these acts were prominent for the nu metal scene, and Metal Hammer spoke with KoRn frontman Jonathan Davis to reflect on the experience:

“This idea started super early. For years, we always wanted to do a festival and put something together that was new. We went back and forth with our management and figured out what we were going for and how to do it. It was fun to do.

It was about showing what was going on at that time. We were at a turning point in heavy music and it felt huge and we wanted to put something on that showed what the fuck was going on. Everyone was given a full production so it felt like you were getting a headline show from all of the bands: Limp Bizkit with their big-ass spaceship, and we had the Korn Kage that put kids on the stage, rocking out with us. I think the cage was Fieldy’s idea and to this day, I still think it’s one of the coolest things we’ve ever done.

It served its purpose in the way it exposed people to what was going on at that time and what we were doing in Korn. It blew everything up. It was the first time we ever played arenas and it seemed everyone who was on that tour – except for Cube, who was already huge – blew up and were playing bigger shows after. It was a stepping stone to all of our bands and that scene taking over for a couple of years.

We were convinced we needed to have a hip hop act on there. We all listened to hip hop at that time and it was a big influence on us and the scene, and who better than Ice Cube? That was the shit. It was awesome. That guy is a legend and people had to respect that. I didn’t worry about the crowd not taking to him at all because he ripped it up every night and you can’t deny that. He was bringing old NWA into his set and the crowd loved it. The kids who liked us and Bizkit came from the same school of thought as us so having Cube on there made total sense to everyone.

We always tried to get Deftones on the tour but we could never figure it out. Other than that, it was the exact bill that we wanted to put on the road. Everyone hung out and it was a good time, but it was when I was dealing with anxiety for the first time so I spent a lot of time in my bunk. I remember everyone in the band had a great time and got along with every other band and there was no bitching – it was an amazing tour.

Family Values could definitely happen again. I’d like to bring out trap artists and things reflecting what’s going on right now in music, just like we did back in the day. There’s plenty of aggressive acts in all forms of music that could tour together and do a new Family Values so it’s definitely something we could look at doing again in the future.”

The 1998Family Values Tour was the first edition of the critically acclaimed [1] fall music tour that initially combined nu metal, alternative metal, and rap acts. The tour was created and headlined by Korn.

Lineup

Artists who participated in 1998 Family Values Tour were:

  • Incubus(replaced Ice Cube on October 25, 1998 for four remaining dates)

Promotion

The tour was preceded by whirlwind political campaign-style tour named 'Korn Kampaign' (from August 17, 1998 in Los Angeles through September 1 in Phoenix) to promote the release of their album Follow the Leader. It took the group all over North America to spread the news of their 'Family Values' platform to hordes of fans at special 'fan conferences' that were organized at every stop along the tour route. Korn chartered a jet, which took them to record stores in such cities as Riverside, Mountain View, Sacramento, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Toronto, Atlanta, and Dallas. The band talked to fans at every stop, answered questions during the special 'fan conferences' and signed autographs. Jim Rose hosted the entire 'Kampaign' tour. Celebrities at various stops included Ice Cube and Todd McFarlane.

Success

The 1998 edition of Family Values Tour was highly successful, the live compilation debuted at #7 at Billboard 200 chart selling 121,000 copies in its first week, and achieving gold record status by RIAA, while DVD - platinum.

Korn helped to promote then-unknown acts. The results were very promising. Rammstein's album 'Sehnsucht' achieved platinum certification in the United States, also Orgy's debut 'Candyass' achieved similar success. Limp Bizkit enjoyed even greater success which helped them establish themselves as one of the leading acts of the nu metal wave at that time, and enjoyed enormous commercial success.

The 27 dates of Family Values Tour grossed more than $6.4 million and over 243,000 fans purchased the fan-friendly ticket prices that ranged from $26.00 to $29.50.[1]

Critical acclaim for the tour started to pour in as soon as it all started. As Jim Farber noted in a review of the September 25, 1998 event at the Continental Arena in New Jersey in the New York Daily News:

'[...] The 4 and half hour show, a hip-hopDJ held equal ground with a drummer in the set by Limp Bizkit, a keyboardist added dance club beats to the classic metal of Rammstein, and two guitarists translated the needling sound of electronic hip-hop into the manic creations of Korn [...] This tour created a bold new profile for hard guitar bands taking cues from the music that replaced them as the soundtrack to masculine aggression.'[1]

The Los Angeles Times noted that the tour 'certainly proved to be one of the rock spectacles of the year,'[2] while Steve Morse of the Boston Globe said that 'Korn delivered the goods...by accelerating out of the box with a savage confluence of heavy metal, rap, and primal screaming from singer Jonathan Davis.'[1]

John Scher of Metropolitan Entertainment agreed: 'The Family Values Tour was not only a great business success, but more importantly, a rousing success with the fans. I think, to a great degree, we accomplished what we set out to: creating a fun, wild evening with a unique atmosphere and incredible music.'[1]

Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn said: 'We're creating some rock history with this tour. From that first show, I had goosebumps upon goosebumps. This is something special happening here. I hope that it becomes annual and it's gonna last.'[1]

CD and DVD release

Main articles: Family Values Tour '98 CD and Family Values Tour '98 DVD

The initial edition of Family Values Tour was highly successful and it was documented on separate DVD and CD releases, both put on sale on March 30, 1999 via Immortal/Epic Records. The CD release achieved gold record status in the United States while DVD release went platinum.

Ice Cube replacement

On September 25, 1998 due to the beginning of shooting the movie 'Next Friday', Ice Cube was replaced by alternative metal band Incubus for remaining four dates. The band is featured on the Family Values Tour '98 CD release with song 'New Skin', and can be also seen during performance of 'All in the Family' on DVD release.

Feud with Rob Zombie

Initially, Rob Zombie was to be one of the artists participating on the tour, but due to the high production costs each Rob Zombie concert would cost $125,000 in band fees and show production alone. Therefore, Rob Zombie was replaced by Germanindustrial metal act, Rammstein. However, explanation was somewhat confusing. The Firm, Korn's management said Zombie continually expressed dissatisfaction over not wanting to work with a hip-hop act on the bill, and was supposedly lectured by Rob Zombie management that 'rock kids don't like hip-hop.' Rob Zombie's manager, Andy Gould said those comments were false. He explained that Zombie has never even spoken to Korn, so he could not have made those comments.[3] Although the statement released by Korn's management resulted in anger, Rob Zombie shared no bad blood with the bands participating in Family Values Tour. Next year, in 1999 both Rob Zombie and Korn got on good terms again, and launched together highly successful 'Rock is Dead' tour.

Trivia

Family Values Tour 1999 Dates
