Nu Metal looses one of the originators to religion[views:14380][posts:20]_______________________________________________ [Feb 22,2005 2:06pm - dneirflrigruoydeliani ""] I got this off blabbermouth.net the stop watch has abut 30 seconds left! MTV.com is reporting that guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, a founding member of KORN, has left the band and has rededicated his life to Christianity, according to the group's management. "KORN has parted ways with guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch, who has chosen Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end," a statement from the band reads. "KORN respects Brian's wishes, and hopes he finds the happiness he's searching for." The announcement puts to rest weeks of rumors that Welch was unhappy with KORN's direction. On February 8, he had apparently written a "letter of resignation" to the band's management. In the note, Welch detailed a long list of reasons for leaving the band, including increased moral objections to KORN's music and videos. In particular, he was upset by how he was portrayed in the clip for their cover of CAMEO's "Word Up", off their recently released "Greatest Hits, Vol. 1" album. In the video, Welch's face was superimposed on a dog patrolling a strip club. Welch plans on further explaining his decision to leave KORN this coming Sunday, when he'll address the congregation at the Valley Bible Fellowship in Bakersfield, California. And on February 28 he plans to leave for Israel. KORN are currently in the studio working on a new record, which is due in stores in September. |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 23,2005 4:03pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] Oh well, he had a really good run though anyway. I'm never been much of a fan, but have always respected them for their originality. They definitely stand alone and have spawned thousands upon thousands of copycats and less-talented knockoffs. Korn was the first group (that I know of) who mixed raspy shouting vocals with clean singing and pulled it off well. Now these days, that style of singing is all over the radio. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2005 6:18pm - dreadkill ""] numetal and pop punk are meeting their demise. what a great week. blink 182 breaks up, korn loses a member, and the static x douche brings further shame to his music genre. |
