Biography
EditJames Christian 'Munky' Shaffer (born June 6, 1970 in Rosedale, California) is the guitarist for the Alternative metal band Korn (for which he has also provided live backing vocals). According to Korn's video "Who Then Now?", The nickname 'Munky' is a reference to his feet which resemble monkey's hands when spread. Munky cites Steve Vai and 80's metal guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads as his main influences.
Shaffer is also the founder of Emotional Syphon Recordings, who have signed acts like Monster In The Machine and Droid. Droid was also featured on the 2007 Family Values Tour.
