L.A.P.D. was KoRn before they changed their singer and came up with the new name of the band.
|
The original line-up of players was:
Richard Morrill - Vocals |
 L.A.P.D. |
 Who's Laughing Now? |
 |
They played
out as L.A.P.D. for about 2-3 years, maybe a little longer (around
1990-1993). They put out their first 12" LP and then a full-length
called "Who's Laughing Now." Then in 1997 they re-issued both releases
as one CD called "L.A.P.D." - this is their collected works with all new
graphics (catalog # 51235-2). If you like what you hear, you should go
out and by the L.A.P.D. cd if your able to find it. It's a little more
"organic" sounding than KoRn but most definitely in the same style.
Richard Morill has a great new band called ESex. ESex have been talking
with Triple-X records lately but nothing has come up. Right now, They
are playing around town in Los Angeles. When L.A.P.D. got there
copyrighting deal they actually chose "LAPDog". If you look on the album
you can see Richard's name is spelled wrong, it was spelled "Morales"
but it's actually "Morrill".
Dean Naleway, a promotional manager:
"They were poor, man. They had just enough money to get something to
eat. They all had little side jobs that they could really care less
about, that they were doing just to get enough money so they could pay
their rent and eat." "They didn’t have any money. We were, like,
splitting McDonald’s hamburgers. We had to make sure we had enough money
for the beer that we needed for that day and whatever was left over,
we’d buy McDonald’s hamburgers." |
