About this audiobook
From Reggie “Fieldy” Arvizu, legendary bassist of nu-metal pioneers KORN, comes Got the Life: a no-holds-barred look at his extreme highs, drug- and-booze-fueled lows, and, finally, redemption through a conversion to Christianity. Got the Life is simultaneously an insider’s look at rock n’ roll superstardom—the good, the bad, and everything in between—and a survivor’s story of a life brought back from the precipice by a new found belief in religious salvation.
Author
Fieldy
Reggie ""Fieldy"" Arvizu is the bassist for the massively popular nu-metal band Korn, which has sold more than 25 million records worldwide. He is now happily married to his wife, Dena, and has three children.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought it was Ok, preferred Head’s Book though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read Head's book first and recommend they be read in that order. Even though the writing is not great, I got the feeling this is what Fieldy would tell me if we sat down to talk. I think that's just what fans of Korn would want and need. Though I have never been one, every fan of Korn should read both books to get the truth. I hope these books inspire even just an interest in getting to know the peace of Christ. That's really all you need to get started. I found Fieldy's story to be hugely inspiring. Every high school library needs a copy of both books.
