Another Post About This Crazy..

[Jason Tate]

Ex-Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch wants to save 50 Cent. Having recently written a song he described as a “personal letter to 50 from God,” Welch reportedly has said he will give the song to 50 privately, and if the reaction is positive and the rapper is willing to talk, Welch won’t release it. “But if the reaction is not positive,” Welch said in an email quoted on Yahoo! Music, “I’m going to share it with the world.” Nothing says “Christian” like holding something over somebody’s head.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[boekebong]

I'm happy that he's happy, but C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, St. Augustine, Jesus...well, maybe not Jesus...are probably staring down from heaven mad that this guy continues to make a rational belief system that they dedicated their lives and brilliant minds to look like a circus. And I would have to agree with them.

seems more like he's gone to me...

[AudioBoxer624]

I have a very strong distaste for people who feel that they are part of the "religious right" whose duty it is to save the world from damnation by suffocating us in conservativism.

Besides, I wouldn't wanna mess the fuck with 50 Cent. It seems like everywhere he goes, somebody winds up getting shot.

[westsidas2000]

i hope 50 blasts him
blast him with a gun maybe?

[IAPAI]

The last time this was posted there was pages and pages of religious debate..
That guy is giving Bible-Thumping Religious Rights groups a bad name...

.... wait a second.....

[gawdzilla]

that'd be awesome if 50 cent became a christian. hah.

[splitsecond]

When I first heard about this guy converting to Christianity, I thought it would a good thing. I figured he would be moderate, and maybe bring some people into religion that otherwise would have shunned it.

Boy was I wrong. Now he is just another example of an extreme loony making the rest of us Christians look bad.

[I Shoot Bands]

50 sold/bought drugs with the bonus money he got for his first album i was told.

[Chemical Love]

that guy (head) is getting more fucked up everyday.

Dude, how crazy would it be if Head started his own reality show where he went around trying to convert other celebrities to convert to Christianity? I would watch for the sheer hilarity factor.

[Fullcollapse3k]

If he wants to save 50, he should have someone shoot him. Given that 50 can only write a good album when talking about being shot. Otherwise it's shit like 'Candyshop'. :(

[fourletterword]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..... .now that I got out of my system I just have one thing to say, I thought hallucinogens and all drugs for that matter weren't a very Christian thing to do. I oculd be wrong but...

[IAmCountryMusic]

didnt we already get to mock this rediculous story?

Yeah this is a repeat, I remember replying to the first topic about it.

haha, but it's so funny it's worthy of a repost. :D

moron.

[Bury Your Head]

i have grown to hate brain welch from koRn cause now he thinks cause he is so religious he is better than everyone else, he acts like he is not but u know deep down that fuck thinks he is when he threatens 50 cent "in the name of god" oh give me a fucking break, this is why im agnostic cause religions arent just a belief but a lifestyle now that some people take to a extreame and use as a weapon. *cough cough* wonder who im referring to, i am waiting for the day brian kills someone "in the name of god" and gets death row.

[beefhung]

who cares

if you ignore them they will go away (hopefully)

[plainoldbrent]

what the fuck?

I am not going to bash on you for being agnostic, but I think there should be other reasons then basing it on people. People are screwed up, no matter what kind of religious affiliation. Sadly people use religion to feel better about themselves and fail to look for truth and truely live in a way the religion describes. Of course i am not going to try to change your mind, but I just think being an agnostic should be based on much more then people. Cause us people are idiots, plan and simple...I include myself, and I am sure you realize your short comings as well, for we all have them.

[Bury Your Head]

so i hope your not going to bash me for being agnostic cause its a free country and i can be whatever i want to be. im not agnostic cause of people but because of reasons i dont need to explain. i hate when people look down on you when your not a certain religion and they feel like they have to
"save you" there is no saving and people are dumb but some are fine till they get hold of the bible and then some people are great i have met christians that are sweet and humble and just what the world should have more of but i have also met naighbors of mine that use their religion as a weapon and take readings from the bible and then make their own translation.
people should let people be people. not enforce stuff on people.

[iLikePants]

that would be awesome

[AudioBoxer624]

If we keep up at this rate, the cliche "I'm more Christian than you" may one day overtake "I'm more straight-edge than you" as the world's most scenester comment.

haha I would so watch that...

[mrpostman]

I don't believe I was bashing you, don't get so offended so easily. You don't need to explain yourself, all I was trying to say was I hope that is not your only reason. You don't need to hold a religious affiliation. If you truely read my comment you would see I wasn't trying to look down on you at all. Though I find the line, its a free country, I can believe whatever I want a little second grade, but it is true, you can believe in whatever way you please and I am in no way trying to change you or look down on you.

HAHA AMAZING IDEA! Massive scene points my friend.

[FrzenRopes]

Out of curiosity, why does everybody think that he's so crazy for believing this? He believes that God called him to write a song to 50 Cent. So what? Why is he crazy for that? How about all those people that claim that God called them to donate money for relief efforts, or to work in the Peace Corps, or anything that obviously benefits society? Are they crazy? Or is it just because you people don't want someone telling you about Jesus that Mr. Welch is crazy, since he's trying to tell others about Jesus? Please explain.

[LostInTheCrowd]

I read about this two weeks ago. I hope this gets more publicity. It's hillarious.

They're crazy, too.

Everyone has their own beliefs, but no one has the right to make threats like what he did.

Brian Welch and his supporters can suck it easy.

I think god already likes 50, he was shot 9 times after all...

my feelings exactly. hes making himself a laughingstock with no credibility whatsoever

[LostInTheCrowd]

Yeah because being in Korn gives you so much credibility. I'm not religious but I love this guy a lot more now than I did when he was in Korn. Atleast he's standing up for what he believes in, even if he looks like an ass.

[ajustrun22]

How are they crazy? For believing something? Just because you (or anybody else for that matter) don't experience the same thing doesn't mean that those who do are crazy. The fact of the matter is that nobody can reasonably prove that God doesn't speak to people in some way (not necessarily audibly), so it is rather ignorant to claim that people are crazy for feeling like they've been called to do something. And what kind of threats is Mr. Welch making?

I think people would assume this is crazy by what he is doing. Most people that god has talked to do something with helping people or make a life altering decision, or do something to help others in need.

He is claiming that god told him to write a song bashing 50 cent.

crazy.

maybe he should team up with Eminem's mom..................

I'd put a patent pending on that idea right there, it's golden!! haha

Finally, the beef of the year...or not. I wonder what 50 Cent would title the diss track...hmmm.

[Lerok22]

I'm almost beginning to think this is all being done for Korn publicity.

[Trainsaw]

I'm almost beginning to think this is all being done for Korn publicity.
i don't think its being done for Korn for poblicity but i think that Head dude is doing it for publicity, if he wants to write a song for anyone write it for W. Bush so he gets the fucking troops out of Iraq and stop having people killed. That seems like more of a "christian" type of thing to do rather than write a song for some rapper who isn't going to give a rats ass what that new-found hippy has to say

[AnonomusVsCA]

"Musicians" are buying drugs with their money. Fuck, stop the presses right now.
this doesnt sound any crazier then anything ive heard at 9 oclock mass.

Phew, I thought I was crazy for a second.

crazy.

As far as I remember, his plan isn't to "bash" 50. He (Head) feels that he has something better than what 50 Cent has, something that would make 50 a better person. Is it really so bad to write a song about that? As far as Mr. Welch is concerned, this is something that would definitely help 50 Cent.

I'm just curious as to why people find this offensive and crazy. Sure, it may not be the best way to go about it (a conversation could be nice for starters), but he's a musician, and he's using his talents to express what he feels. Just like all other musicians. Yet somehow, since it's not what everybody else feels, he's crazy. That seems a little off to me.

[burnpianoisland]

50 is going to this fucker right in the head.

Because he's a fucking moron? As if 50 Cent is the world's biggest problem...

[nofxer]

i like how nobody complains when some emo band promoted on this site writes every other song bashing an old girlfriend and nobody seems to care. yet someone finds something positive in their life and tries to share it with someone who most people would be to afraid to do so with...and the man is an idiot in the eyes of most. however this is nothing new. the bible teaches taking joy in persecution...and i pray that brian welch is doing just that.

I personally am not arguing that his spiritual rebirth is wrong, because I know plenty of people who have found a better way of life through Christianity. What I find wrong here is the methods and steps that Head has taken to preach his newofund faith. In my eyes, it's wrong to force upon somebody your ideals and views. The last time that happened, the Crusades broke out.

[mybreakingpoint]

wow i really dont understand how you go from being in Korn to being this xcore Christian guy trying to save the world...just doesnt make sense to me...

i mean good for him and all for finding Christ but he sounds like he's getting pretty extreme and ya...thats kind what takes people away from Christianity is extreme behavior and pushiness and ya so he's going about it all worng but whatever

[snoogins93311]

This guy is building so much promotion for his solo album on the fact that he is doing all this crazy shit...did anyone ever think of that? I don't like korns music and their guitar playing is absolutely horrible but, Im super interested in reading the lyrical content of this song written to 50 cent.

CRAZY OR GENIUS?

[StrungOut]

that's a good point snoogins, all just a big media build up
Used to listen to Korn when they were good, First 2 albums and you can put Follow The Leader in there too but man, maybe this spiritual quest of Head's started way back before Issuses came out

[FrzenRopes]

Because he's a fucking moron? As if 50 Cent is the world's biggest problem...

Where does Welch claim that he's trying to solve the world's biggest problem? He feels that he's been called to write a song to 50 Cent. Big friggen deal. He's not shoving his ideals down 50's throat. He's using his talents as a musician to bring to light an issue that he feels needs addressing. What is so wrong with that? Unless the title of this song is "Hey 50 You're Going to Burn in Hell for Eternity Unless You Repent Like I Did," I fail to see how he's forcing his opinions down 50's throat.

And I imagine that he's not just going to waltz up to 50 on the street with his guitar and start playing. I'd assume that he's going to have to make an appointment to even meet with 50, which 50 could either accept or decline. And if he accepts, then Welch isn't shoving his opinions down anybody's throat. That's like someone intentionally reading the Bible and claiming that its ideals have been shoved down his/her throat. Nonsense.

But seriously, can someone give a well thought-out, reasonable answer as to why Welch is crazy for doing what he's doing? I'm looking for something other than "He's dumb huh huh ooga."

Everyone already said everything I wanted to say in this post, so more importantly...

...who's heard those 50 diss tracks? The Fat Joe one is alright, but the Jadakiss one is WICKED. You guys think hXc is hardcore...you haven't heard Jada rip into 50.

[Slater]

that'd be awesome if 50 cent became a christian. hah.

Would he have to give the church 5 cent in alms?

[konfusion]

When you're a little kid you have an imaginary friend, then you grow up and you find God/jesus etc etc, who also speaks to you and tells you to do stuff... If someone murders someone, and says the voices in their head told them to do it they get put in an asylum, if someone threatens someone and tells them God told them to do it, they expect to be seen as some kind of prophet! In my opinion, there is no difference between someone being told to kill someone else by the voices in their head, and a president invading another country in the name of God, or an ex Korn guitarist threatening another artist in the name of Jesus, they're all crazy.

[Ryan Mills]

Boy was I wrong. Now he is just another example of an extreme loony making the rest of us Christians look bad.

Part of me agrees with this...and the other part doesn't. I love the fact that Head has become a Christian. It just goes to show two things: that it doesn't matter what you do, God still loves and accepts you as His child. And that all the things he had in this world weren't fulfilling (i.e. money, fame, women, etc...).

Now in regards to the quote...I DO think him converting is a great thing, and I do think he will bring other people in that otherwise wouldn't want to be involved wiht Christianity. BUT....I don't think that he really needs to be trying to convert people just yet. You need time to heal certain hurts form your past and to really figure out who YOU are in Christ before you can start trying to convert others...you know? It juts makes sense to know what your talking about before you start preaching it.....

So I think it's great about the whole thing...him converting and stuff. But I think he needs to just chill a sec, and take time to learn and understand before he starts trying to convert 50 Cent....and stuff....

[eric.randalls]

i would love it for him to turn christian.
at least there'd be a variety in rap topics..?
and it'd be plain hilarious if it was all "yeah i'm pissed so.... IMMA PRAY NOW"
