James Christian 'Munky/The Gorilla' Shaffer (born
June 6,
1970 in Bakersfield, California) is the
nu metal band
Korn's guitarist. He also does live backing vocals. His nickname, 'Munky', is apparently a reference to the fact that his feet, when spread, resembles monkey's feet (this was revealed in the multi-platinum video "Who Then Now?"). His bandmate
Reginald 'Fieldy' Arvizu has a similar nickname, also based on his physical appearance. He does have musical activities outside of Korn, though: he is the founder of
Emotional Syphon Records, who have signed acts like Monster In The Machine and
Droid.
Droid was also featured on the 2007
Family Values Tour. While on tour once he had a knife thrown at him on stage.
