Kun Nong was the guitarist of Shawn Crahan's first band, Heads on the Wall. He played with them from 1991 to 1992. In September 1995, Kun joined Shawn's band, which didn't have a name at the time, but some people just called it "The Pale Ones." However, after around six practice sessions, it became clear that their music didn't fit his style, as he was more of an alternative/punk player. Consequently, he quit the band without ever recording or playing live with them. It's unknown if he ever joined any other bands later in his life or what became of him.
