How it went: Having flown in that morning from California, Korn singer Jonathan Davis and bassist Fieldy were nervous and excited about picking up the first award of their career. They had already been nominated in several categories, and were starting to worry they would be going home empty-handed. When 'Big' Jim read out their name, they literally leapt onto the stage.
Korn singer Jonathan Davis: "It's our very first award ever, and we really are honoured."
Korn bassist Fieldy: "And because it's our first award, we'll remember it forever. I just thank the readers. We love you!"
What's next for Korn?
Jonathan: "We're doing our third album, and when we've done it we're coming back to rock it again.
We have two babies on the way - Fieldy's having a little girl, David's having a boy. We're a family band."
