Fieldy's Dreams

Fieldy's Dreams is a side project formed by Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, best known as the bassist for the nu-metal band Korn. Fieldy's Dreams was created during a hiatus from Korn in the late 1990s, serving as an outlet for Fieldy to explore his creativity beyond the confines of the metal genre.

The music of Fieldy's Dreams is a departure from the heavy, aggressive sound of Korn, instead embracing a lighter, more experimental approach influenced by hip-hop, funk, and electronic music. Fieldy took on the role of vocalist and songwriter for the project, showcasing a different side of his musical talents.

Fieldy's Dreams released their debut album, "Rock'n Roll Gangster", in 2002. The album featured a mix of rap-rock tracks and comedic interludes, with Fieldy delivering tongue-in-cheek lyrics and playful rhymes over funky basslines and eclectic beats. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the album gained a cult following among fans of Korn and alternative music.

One of the standout tracks from "Rock'n Roll Gangster" is "Baby Hugh Hef", a satirical homage to the Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner. The song features Fieldy rapping about his aspirations to live a lavish lifestyle like Hefner, accompanied by catchy hooks and infectious grooves. The album also includes guest appearances from artists such as Snoop Dogg and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit.

While Fieldy's Dreams never achieved the same level of commercial success as Korn, the project allowed Fieldy to explore new musical avenues and express himself creatively outside of the constraints of a metal band. Despite being a short-lived endeavor, Fieldy's Dreams remains an intriguing footnote in the career of one of nu-metal's most influential bassists.
