Ex-Korn Guitarist Posts Video From India

Band Photo: Korn (?)
A video of former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch offering a guided tour of the community in India where he has been living in for the past several weeks, helping the poorer communities and leper children, has been posted online at his official web site, HeadToChrist.com (Quicktime, 15.2 MB).
As previously reported, Welch recently announced that he will be founding what he's calling a Head Home in India, where he will house leper children. "My eyes have been opened to children on the street and I feel like that is who I want and need to help," he said in a statement. Footage of his efforts will reportedly be turned into a documentary on his life.

Head rocks Korn sucks. Kmadd, youve opened my eyes... Korn does suck. Heres how i began to realize... (1.) Looked up korns guitar tabs on the internet... this is what it looked like: 0-0-1-1-0-0-1-0-1-1-1-0-1-0-1-1-1-1. (2.) I learned to play all korn and slipknot songs on my bass in less than an hour. (3.) Watched Dragon ball GT, sh**ty sequal to a good series, the only thing sh**tier was the intro music...it was nu-metal rap... it consisted of 2 chords repeated over and over again on 1 string. (4.) Was watching MADtv when "Cypress Hill" performed. To my amazement they had...guitarists...? this is what they played on 1 downtuned guitar string: 0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0. I was amazed by their excellent guitar work, but i was even wore amazed by there flexibility: They were completely bent over with their legs 6 feet apart while playing!!! how could they perform such gymnastic feats while playing such intricate work on their guitars. Those guitarists were jokes. Its almost as if theyre children who no nothing about metal pretending to be rock stars. I liked Korn...alot...but the bands that played in their wake were a bunch of jokes. Heads solo was, although not the best, way better than any guitar work. I officially resign from my position as a nu-metal fan. oh and those slipknot fans at my school who look like homosexual gothic nascar drivers sponsered only by slipknot themselves absolutely need to get their asses kicked. so in conclusion...open your eyes.

My outlook is this.......
Korn are not great musicians but they came up with something different, albeit simple...... Nooone had heard anything quite like that.......
The same can be said for the fathers of hair metal and grunge. I am on pins and needles for something as or more revolutionary because I have explored most every nook and crany of metal (black, thrash, metal-core, death, grind, MISC.) for something DIFFERENT and the best I can do is the deranged complexity of Dillinger Escape Plan and Pig Destroyer. Everything else just reminds me of something else, and the jaded will say:
"Theres nothing left to explore!"
But I think more lies in wait for metal, it just has to survive being uncovered and accepted.

Just because the chords aren't complicated doesn't mean it sucks it sounds f***in awesome and heavy no zakk wylde but it is awesome and being a musician is more than just playing your instrument it's how the band collaborates with the sound that they put together therefore making one of the greatest bands around KORN

hey, im still gonna buy korns next album. Im still a fan, but when i see their "genre" of music: "Nu-Metal" has the worste guitars ever, and if i was a real metalhead before korn and i saw these "nu-metal" bands... id sh** myself and say how can these guys call themselves metal??? their song structure is sooooooo simple and the guitars are unbeileivably simple. Korn and other nu-metal bands can be fun to listen to, but theres alot better stuff out there. Lets face it, Korn and SLipknot have gotten way to much publicity and money making songs me and my little sister could play! hell my whole family with no musical backround should form a New-metal partridge family band!!!! We could be called ParTrAGe X!!!!! no one sounds like korn except 5 billion other downtuned guitarists with no talent. Did i mention im still going to buy their next album???

That's funny in itself... a guy named Munky talking about human progression.
There are still some good new sounds out there. Devildriver are sounding good and Chimaira's latest effort is a new spin on their last album sound with more classic and melodic metal influences. There will certainly come along some original bands, but no one can predict when the next big sound will come along or what it will sound like. Metalcore sure came in a flurry and stifled itself with hundreds of like-sounding bands faster than nu-metal did.

Im not goona be a head basher but yea i dont really like him but what he's doing is wonderful. Helpin out those people. Yea I miss him being in KoRn and think he was stupid for leavein but im not gonna sit here and b**** about it. Who The f*** cares. Get over it. Most of the people hate him for leave. Well theres nothing u can do about it. So who cares anymore. KoRn will be fine w/o head. So stop b****in about it.

My opinion:
1) Korn was extremely good! They were different and they got a lot of attention for what was honestly an amazing, ground-breaking new sound!
2) Making THAT much good music kinda left 'em a little burnt out and they put out some fairly decent sh*t for a while.
3) After putting all they had left into the "fairly decent sh*t" not much good came from their instruments or from the tip of Davis' pen... some ok covers but frankly the original stuff was sh*t!
4) Head left and with him my hope that Korn could recapture the magic that originally drew me (and many other fans) to them...
...NOW) I don't know how the new stuff is coming or how they'll recover. Not just from the loss of Head but from the downward spiral that has been consuming them for the past few years... It'd be great if they did! Sure I'll be forced to eat these words and all the others I've spouted on the subject-- but it'd be worth it to feel the rush I used to get hearing a new single or getting a new album...
I'm glad Head has found what he feels gives him more of a purpose... everyone needs that and if his is to help people less fortunate than he, well-- more power to him! (sorry that's the black half of me coming out)
If Korn CAN recover I'll be glad... I have my doubts- strong ones- but I wish them luck!

Queen you know how old i am you slut and for having sexual relations with me i should call the cops for statatory rape your alot older than me.
How about all those nights of hot sweaty sex in your little brothers bed (who happens to be the same age as me) you did'nt complain then or how about when i cramed my co ck ou your a$$ and you could'nt get enough of it. Then it even got better when another girl joined and you ate her wet pus sie.
Or how about the time we went to a strip club and you begged for a lap dance from a female striper. Or how about the time we went to that diturbed concert and we f***ed in your car because you said you could'nt wait to feel my co ck in you.
And thats pretty sad your laughing at your own damn jokes you stupid fool.

I wasn't laughing at my joke, just at the fact that I got you in a ppissy little mood like the b**** that you are...
Those fantasies you wish I'd act out I will indeed... but I think I'll have more fun with you-know-who! Sorry to drag him into this (I wonder what you'll say when I talk to you tomorrow...), but if you had been able to satisfy me, I never would've ended up f**king him that night in your room!
I couldn't wait for your WHAT??? Please! Even if I had wanted you that badly, there's no way I would've been able to tell I had it anyway, if you catch my drift, Stoner...
Stoner is the one revealing his fantasies about me... I've said nothing of the sort (...maybe not NOTHING...) Oh well- this is fun!

Queen:

your a damn slut i can't even count the number of guys you've fuc ked, why do you think i wore a condom instead of you going on the pill because i did'nt want to catch anything from your dirty cun t. I feel sorry for that co ck sucker david because he told me he does'nt wear rubbers, the second he sticks his d*** in your cu nt his di ck will fall off. i don't want you, i like my d*** right where it is thank you very much.
and queen don't think i forgot about what you told me about you likeing the backstreet boys a while back.

Can't count the number of guys I've f**ked, Stoner??? Well whose fault is it if you can't f**king count to six, f***tard?!?! And if you recall-- we weren't EXACTLY together and I broke it off with you BECAUSE of David! Get it through your head and stop b****ing about it! You're the one who wanted to stay friends with me after I had the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE f**king your best friend! I'm not a f**king slut, dumbass... I never even f**ked you, f**king c**k sucker-- never wanted to give you the pleasure...
YOU feel sorry for DAVID??? Please, b****!!! YOU'RE the one who got his f**king a$$ beat when youguys literally fought over me!

You're so f**king lucky that your EX best friend talked me out of posting one of the two things I KNOW would throw you into a little b**** fit! Ya know like that stuff I heard while I was on the phone with you that night... or the stuff that happened when you were watching a movie with your little brothers and your f**king step sister...
I have nothing to say as far as your incinuating that I have some sort of STD... That's just wrong, and stupid-- even for you!

hey this is a discussion about Korn , not you and your ex you stupid B****! Who cares who you F*****. you probably do have an STD you Dirty Whore.
Korn sounds good on a decent stereo, and I have seen them in concert 6 times. Bands come and go, that is the way S*** is. Deal with it.
41. writes:
F**k you, f**king prick... I started talking about korn and decided to mess around a little with a sort of friend of mine who, yes, happens to be my ex... It got a little out of hand but it's not stoping anyone from talking about whatever the f**k they want to talk about... even a whiny little b**** like you... Calm the f**k down and no-- I don't have a f**king std-- yeah I've had some sex but it's not like it's hard for me to find... I've been with people I know and being the responsible person I am I've been tested a few times... Who the f**k exactly do you think you are??? shut the f**k up and mind your own god damn business! If you don't want to read it I've got a great idea. ok ok you ready for this? Got a pen and some paper? here it is... JUST DON'T F**KING READ IT, LOSER, AND STOP F**KING B****ING ABOUT IT!!!

the only person who can call Queen a dirty whore is me because she knows i am only kidding you maggot. I swear if you say one more negitive post about queen i will hunt you down like the pig you are and shove a bucher knife up your a$$ and then shove you back into your mothers dirty uterus where you belong. I'm only kidding and so is she i love her as a friend and she loves me as a friend i consider her to be one of my best friends and i would kill for her. bbzoned you need to fu ck off you homo and don't be upset that you have never felt the touch of the oposite sex so you can eat sh** and die co ck boy.

46. writes:
well said, Stoner...
We really were just f**king around... after I read your post, bbzoned I called Stoner and told him "some dumb a$$ responded to our little fight..." then we laughed at you for a while, i responded, so did he and my pal Joe Moma, and here I am again... wasting valuable time and server space on your fa**ot ass! ah well-- mama always told me "idiots make the world go round..." ... and you should always listen to Joe Moma!
You see, Stoner... we wanted to see who needed so badly to concern themselves with someone ese's life... I guess we've got a winner...
In all seriousness, bbzoned... talk about whatever you wanna talk about, but why waste your time concerning yourself with what two other people are discussing??? Since I'm being serious right now I'll just say that I'm sure there's some semi-pressing matter in your life that deserves your attention much more than a pretty fake argument between two friends on a music forum... Seriously, dude-- just lighten up a little...

Damn! you guys take S**T too seriously. I was just kidding and now you've hurt my feelings. (crying in the background) I am locked in this dungeon all day and night with nothing else to do but respond to crazy comments on the net. What did you expect? (more Crying)
I am fed sauerkraut and beans all day and even my captors won't come near me. OHH! I've soiled myself again! see what you did!
Can't you just learn to forgive each other and me? My kitty is starting to smell I think I might have hurt her. Do you have some band aids?
When they let me go I am going to the bar and get some whiskey , I love whiskey. DO you drink? i get some from the trolls that live under the floorboards down here, they have been acting funny lately though, I just want to see the sun again.

First off, Korn haters, piss off. Tell me what you listen to and I'll give you a thousand reasons why it is worse than Korn. Korn has revolutionized metal. Besides that. I in no way intend to offend the religeous, but stop thinking that Head is such a savior. Yeah he's showing alot of light to needy children, but he made alot more derpressed youth lose thier light. I cried for the first time in a long time when I heard the news of Head leaving. Korn has helped me more than a band can help a fan. For all you haters, you'll be begging for this vocalists autograph and when I ask if you were into Korn and you give me that opinion, I'll crush your dreams. Anything that is actually, truelly dark like Korn, or Marilyn Manson is considered to you people as 'gay'. Your just upset because your music could never compare to it. KORN FANS, THIS NEXT ALBUM IS GOING TO ROCK JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER.

Jesus tap dancing Christ! I leave for a week or two and you morons still are on the KoRn bashing subject. Brain did what he felt was best for his family. Understandable, doesnt make him anymore less a man. But he has taken this god sh** to f***ing far. Why the f*** is he still on Metal underground anyway? He left Korn, who have a place here, I didn't know this sh** hole suporrted Christain rock[ ha! rock]. And this ''ex- KORn guitarest'' bullsh**. f*** him. The most influencail band in my life has been sh** on for doing what they do, and now because of some little faggit f*** bible f***er a$$ rapping douchebag! f*** Brain, he lost his koRn Family colors a long time ago, get him off this f***ing web site.

Random statement time:
* I'm not a very big fan of Korn
* Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream flavor
* Watching boys argue is funny, WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT-- IF THEY'RE
FUNNY, THEY'RE FUNNY!
* Kmadd's comments usually make me laugh my a$$ off! -- except when he's
pointlessly whining about something...

Stop with the f***ing KoRn bashing you dumb f***. This site is for metal fans, not homos who love going to the new Backstreet Boys concerts. One KoRn band member has more talent than anybody ever has in your family. There's the facts, now go deal with it like the reject you are.

I have nothing more to say about him. Ive said how im happy for him and everything a hundred times. I think they should just leave him alone and who cares what he's doing as long as he's happy. He seems happy and so do the guys in KoRn so it doesnt matter anymore. I heard the new realese date for the album was Oct. 26th or something so if anyone else heard that It was just a rumor that wasnt true.....
