Korn Frontman in Criss Angel Stunt That May Never Be Seen

In a recent press release from Criss Angel, magician and star of A&E's series Mindfreak, he expresses his concerns about the network possibly not wanting to air an episode of this show in which Korn's Jonathan Davis took part. Here is why:

"I did something that is a famous effect that 12 magicians have tried to do and died" to catch a bullet in your teeth. I wanted to devise a way to really try to do it. I had a ballistics expert fabricate a metal cup for my mouth designed to absorb the .223 bullet. And I had a sharpshooter, a guy who is an incredible shot - Jon Davis from the band Korn. And we were successful in doing it. We did it and I didn't kill myself! I want to show people."

He says A&E is worried about copycats trying it. In a statement, the network said it hasn't made a decision on the bullet-catch stunt: "With the enormous success of Criss Angel: Mindfreak with the younger audience, we are carefully reviewing each episode."

Angel is currently working on a book and has a tour planned for fall. "The goal is to become a household name."

What's Next?

Maybe y'all idiots didn't pay enough attention. What Criss does is part illusion part stunt. For example on the Mindfreak episode Wine Barrel Escape. When Criss does the card tricks on the bus, that's an illusion. But when he escapes from a wine barrel 8 stories above the ground, that's real. The idea of the show is for you to decide what's real and what's illusion. but please present your opinions respectfully and if you're gonna be a jackass about it then don't waste your time and ours complaining.

Well it's nice to see you learned how to spell KoRn correctly, that must of been a tough day in Kindergraden for you, sport. As for the daddy retort, don't waste my time with your gay ass, punk ass, retarded tongue. I don't speak homo, nor, do I wish to be brought down to your level of gayness.

Korntard, wow like I haven't that one before. Yeah i called you gay, I'm calling you gay right now, and yes, I'm a huge KoRn fan. So, must we continue on? If KoRn's so f***ing gay, it must hurt your pride alittle when a KoRntard, is calling you gay. That's like a double negitive. You know like you and dad when you ladies touch eachother.

You just described this site.
Real metal bands are in it for the music, partying and the women and can care less
about radio or mainstream media airplay. Jeez what is the name of this site korn is neither underground or remotley metal. Nice try kornsucksforlife though.
