Why korn is hated

Growing up, he wanted to be a rockstar and spent most of his time practicing guitar. So Welch started going back to church, and the first half of his year journey to self-love and sobriety was spent exploring dark places and even darker emotions, a place he no longer wishes to return to. The band recently wrapped up a tour that celebrated 20 years of their debut, and to the singer, it felt bittersweet. Back when Korn came out in the mids, they were the freaks of the freaks.

Dressed in Adidas tracksuits with tattooed arms and twisted dreadlocks, gold chains hanging from their necks, the five-piece was unlike any other. No one really knew what to do with Korn.

Boards Rock Band Why do people hate Korn? User Info: ZibaLaZiba. User Info: ivywell. I used to like Korn when I was angsty and But now I cant find any reason to listen to them or see any appealing qualities in their music.

User Info: Goldenguy. Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand. Ignorance, prejudice, and fear walk hand in hand. User Info: Darkside I'd be up for some Korn DLC, as long as they only put up songs from their first 3 albums. User Info: NotJim. I don't know why everybody doesn't like them, but I can tell you the point I started hating them.

The moment I found out that their new album twisted transistor i think was written by the same guy that wrote Brittany Spears first album. Went to my dealer and got a big ol' fat rock of meth, chopped that shit up and I did vocals. That was his nickname because when he was tweaking, he'd just sort of seize up and his tongue was like a ball. The band decided the best way to get this meth was to secretly convince Robinson to help them get it. Guitarist Brian Welch, also known as Head, remembers how it went:.

We tricked Ross into taking us on a drug run, and then we ended up tracking the vocals for "Ball Tongue" high on drugs. When Ross found out that he drove us on a drug run without knowing it, he got pretty upset with us.

Once he had children, whom he didn't want exposed to his collection , he decided to get rid of the memorabilia. Davis's outlet for his collection was the American Curiosities Museum, which he began a relationship with. Davis was an original investor in the museum, which ultimately failed; sources aren't completely clear on whether he founded the museum and partnered with an investor, or whether the idea already existed and Davis was brought in.

Regardless of how the museum was founded, Davis toured with it, though his efforts failed to get the venture off the ground. His lawyers set up a payment plan, which he quickly stopped paying toward. The Chili Peppers had a rehearsal space not too far away, and the members of Korn, who were drunk at the time, decided it would be a good idea to convince Smith and Kiedis to watch them practice. Somehow, the ruse was successful.

As bassist Fieldy Reginald Arvizu wrote of the incident in his memoir:. We played so hard, jumping up and down, trying to give a great performance. Anthony and Chad were standing there sort of dumbfounded - and not in a good way. We must have been so sloppy because we were obviously drunk and out of control.

We didn't know any better. We just thought we were doing what we were supposed to do. Through his real estate dealings, he met a Christian who introduced him Jesus.

When Head first went to church after meeting this man, he was a taken aback. In , guitarist Brian "Head" Welch shocked the music scene when he split from Korn to give up his hard-partying lifestyle to fight the good fight of Christ. He turned his life over to God and went on a pilgrimage to the Jordan River. There, he was baptized, as Jesus was by John the Baptist, and became born again. Though Welch eventually rejoined Korn in , he spent many years denouncing the negative way in which he had spent much of his adult life.

He even reached out to other members of Korn , such as bassist Fieldy, in an attempt to get them to convert, saying:. You should come with me. We'll do something else on our own.

In , Welch invoked the ire of Christians by posting an image of himself with some fans on Facebook with the caption :. Got to speak and pray with these precious ones in Northern California - at least 2 of them felt a touch from Jesus.

A sincere request from my friend on my right: "Brian, do you love transgenders? Then, please pray for us transgender people. We need prayer bad. To the few people that were running their mouth about Sodom and Gomorrah and the sin of homosexuality, please open your hearts and read this carefully: God looks at the heart and man looks on the outside.

One of the people in the photo yesterday shared their pain and horrible abuse that happened to them that went on for years I think. Another had "Christians" attack them and throw them away like trash in the past.

These people and dozens of others on my tour this summer are getting some level of inner-healing. They are experiencing non-judgmental Jesus lovers who are planting seeds and speaking life into them.

Each heartless post from you judgmental ones are only helping to harden their hearts to Jesus once again. In discussing his trials and tribulations with meth addiction on his podcast, Brian "Head" Welch went into detail on sending himself controlled substances for a European tour in ".

In Germany, , in the winter and I was watching a package come from California into New York, into the UK and then somewhere else and then it landed in Germany. And it had my three 8-balls of meth in it. And I was watching it through FedEx mail online. So that was the gutter. I could get arrested for stuff like that. When Korn guitarist Munky James Shaffer was young, he cut the tip of his finger off; it got caught in the chain of his three-wheeler while he was sneaking out of his house to go to a party, and, voila, no more finger tip.

Issues successfully managed to navigate a difficult balance between stardom and metal credibility, and when the band reconvened for Untouchables they had learnt enough lessons from this record that they were able to sculpt another masterpiece. Korn: Issues. It was a tough job to follow the immense success of Follow The Leader , but Korn's fourth album still packs a punch, asserting the fact that they'd never be a band to follow trend, no matter what — they'd do their own thing.
