"Head" leaves Korn, finds God

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/23/music.korn.reut/index.html This blows for anyone who likes Korn. I wish him well, but the band won't be the same without him.

Pity post. :whistle:

You gave it a whole seven minutes. Geez man, this places doesn't move like CF yet! :wink:

ya i heard that he left, out of all the bands ive seen and listeded to for many many many years, Korn is one of my favorites of all time....

ya i heard that he left, out of all the bands ive seen and listeded to for many many many years, Korn is one of my favorites of all time.... Really? I would not have guessed that. I like their stuff too, certainly in my top 5 favs.

Who?? j/k :lol: guess heavy metal and religion don't mix? :screwy:

Really? I would not have guessed that. I like their stuff too, certainly in my top 5 favs. well first concert i ever went to was led zeplins first tour of the states, and ive been head banging ever since... also on that show was johnny winter and MC5 (detroit band-kick out the jams)

Who?? j/k :lol: guess heavy metal and religion don't mix? :screwy: Scott Stapp (former Creed crooner) would disagree, thought Creed was more mainstream rock than heavy metal.

Odd, very odd... when religion makes you quit doing the things you love, it seems more like fanaticism to me. Wonder if it was a drug induced light seeing?

Scott Stapp (former Creed crooner) would disagree, thought Creed was more mainstream rock than heavy metal. http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c5/pigface//creedsmilie.gif Stryper would also disagree. :jester http://www.coolfer.com/blog/blog/images/Stryper.jpg The only religious band I've ever heard that legimately rocks the f' out is Bad Brains. However, they're rasta, so it's a little different. http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c5/pigface//badbrains1.gif Anyway, Korn's alright I guess, better than Limp Biskit. Really, though, the only nu metal I ever liked was the older Deftones. :here:

Scott Stapp (former Creed crooner) would disagree, thought Creed was more mainstream rock than heavy metal. Just messin w/ya... don't really know much about him.... like pickle says, does seem strange that religion takes him away from music.

I'm glad it did, the last thing we need is another holy roller rocker. :puke:

Yeah that sucks.. Korn f'ing rocks.. Pop Music sucks.. Glad that some good band was able to put out a message like that and maybe open the eyes of the misguided youth wasting their money on that bubble gum no substance wanna be music crap that I would rather shove a 2 x 4 with rusty aids infected nails up my arse than listen to.. I have liked Korn from day 1.. Saw them on Ozzfest a couple of years ago and they rocked! I am sure they will find a new guitarist but it will never be the same.. Didn't see anyone mention Blink 182 broke up - looks like everyone is on the same page as me - WHO CARES? THEY SUCK.. lol..

KORN is MTV rock, and therefore, pop. It all depends on perspective, though, I guess.

KORN is MTV rock, and therefore, pop. It all depends on perspective, though, I guess. Mmmmmmm, ok. Sure, Korn has there fair share of radio-play tunes, but there are just as many or more that are not popular or radio-friendly. The real Korn fans know what I'm talking about. I don't believe that showing a video on MTV classifies a band as pop.

I don't believe that showing a video on MTV classifies a band as pop. You guys can say what you want, but I'm right. lol Put it this way. . if you go see Korn, how many people show up? It's not exactly and underground band. It's a radio-play/video-play band where people will hear one song, and then they get their following. Well, you don't have much else to reference it to that's not pop punk/metal rock. It's by no stretch Creed or Oasis, that's not what I'm saying. Linkin Park, Limp Biskit, Korn, POD, System of a Down, etc. . I do like some of the music, but it is most certainly a pop hardcore music. Even the Deftones softened up their music, which sucks. Hell, I like Tool, but they're in the same category. Just b/c it doesn't sound like Air Supply doesn't mean it's not pop rock. If you like that sound, check out the Melvins. I could give you 10 bands I think you'd love, but you probably wouldn't listen to them b/c you've never heard them. :crazy: And yes, being on MTV definitely knocks a band down a few notches, which is why I don't listen to any newer Rancid, Bosstones, Butthole Surfers, etc.

Look for solo and softer. He's not young and his voice cant well for ever.

WOW. I couldn't beleive it.

You are so off.. Jack said it right - the Korn is pop is so ludricous and your ideas why behind it that it doesn't deserve a reply.. But I have less self-control than Jack.. So then Misfits are POP music.. So is Metallica (well they are now anyways bad example).. How about Slayer - definately pop music.. Come on.. Korn is not POP music - pop music is buttlovers like N Sync or Backstreet homos.. You could even say that like Motley Crue is pop.. All that gay ****.. Korn is NOT pop.. I don't care if they are the most popular band in the world and play to 3 trillion people - oh in that case Ozzy is POP - that doesn't make them pop - sucking arse makes you pop - like that bubble gum country rock crap they put out nowadays like Brooks & Dunn and all that garbage.. I could start a whole post ripping on bands and music but let's just say Korn is about as far from pop as you can get..

Watch the tear into Brooks and Dunn.....them there might be fightin' words!!! As for Korn being pop...NOT. I agree with you totally on that Mud. Now, if they sold out like Metalica, maybe then but I don't see that happening.

Mudpuppy, I didn't say they were pop. I said they were pop rock, and they are. :lol: The same goes for Manson, Rage, etc etc. Their sales are driven by video play, pure and simple. Of course, I'm sure you're one of the 10 original fans that were there at the beginning and you found them in the underground instead of on the radio or MTV. I wouldn't have said anything, but you're holding them on a higher pedastal than Blink 182, and they're exactly the same. Although, at least Korn is true to their music. Pop and punk are contradictions, and therefore Blink 182 needs to be banned. Calm down, I never said I didn't like Korn, I just thought it was funny how you were bragging on them like they're some underground novelty when they're not.

Calm down, I never said I didn't like Korn, I just thought it was funny how you were bragging on them like they're some underground novelty when they're not. Oh I see the disconnect here.. You misconstrued my statement - I saw them on the Pop Music Sucks tour.. I thought that name was kind of cool because I hate the bubble gum pop crap they are referring to like the boy and girl groups that make me sick and all that other low substance high in bs crap that the masses, the sheep if you will, of this country buys into because they too want to be just like Brittany or Justin or whatever - um I want to be the anthethis of Justin PUH-LEEEZE!!!!!!!!!! MFP, if you will. I want to be anti-pop and that was the message they were spitting so that was kind of cool, in my warped book anyways. I see what you are saying - they are part of popular music because of media exposure, MTV, etc. Sure you are right. I was more thinking along the lines of genure, if you will. I wasn't trying to brag them like some underground novelty though - sorry to send that message. They are far from underground. I just like Korn. They are bad arse.

I agree video killed the radio star. But if POP = boy band, britney spears, and not POPular then Korn is not pop. I hope they continue to make great music despite there loss.

its amazing what ppl define as good music, or sell outs nad what not.... \A few bands get popular playign the music they like and want to make... some make it to sell i dont see rage making muscic htinking " will these lyrics sell" But if you guys want some good METAL try DevilDriver or Superjoint ritual or DamagePlan .... good metal bands.. though damageplan really got a ton of press only after the death of Dimebag. Hard to be better then DevilDriver or Superjoint Ritual though.. GREAT METAL. and ya i just cant think Slayer ever made music with sales in mind or that because MTV has played a video by em they are pop.

R6, I probably could have worded it a little differently, which seems to be the case a lot for me. :lol: I like a lot of the bands I listed, and I like Korn.. I just don't see a big difference between Korn and someone like Blink 182. Still, eventhough I prefer punk, I'd listen to Korn any day over Blink 182. Hell, my girlfriend still doesn't understand why I don't like Avril Lavigne b/c she's, "punky." :rofl:
