Former Korn guitarist and born again Christian Brian "Head" Welch says he wants to save rapper 50 Cent, according to MTV.com. Welch said in an email that while in Israel recently to be baptized, he wrote a song that he described as a "personal letter to 50 from God." Welch added that he will give the song to 50 privately and see how he reacts to it: "If it's a positive reaction and he's willing to talk to me, then I'm not gonna release it, but if the reaction is not positive, I'm going to share it with the world."
Welch also said that he's written a song called "A Letter To Dimebag" as a tribute to late Pantera and Damageplan guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. Welch told MTV.com, "It's a guitar-solo instrumental...I wrote it for Dimebag because he always used to tell (Korn guitarist) Munky and I to put guitar solos in Korn's music."
There's no word on when Welch's first solo album will see the light of day, although recording is nearly complete. He has not signed a new record deal and initially plans to sell the album through his website, headtochrist.com.
Meanwhile, Welch was perhaps a little less Christian in remarks directed at his former bandmate, Korn singer Jonathan Davis. Davis recently called Welch's conversion to Christianity a "false crusade," to which Welch shot back: "Sorry Jonathan, my 'false crusade' was not the reason I left Korn, it was what saved my life. I still love those guys to death, but if anybody trashes God, I am human and will defend Him and myself by any means necessary."
Save him from what?
I think he wants to save 50 cents.
That will go over like a fart in Church.
What is this story all about, anyway?
Their entourages/posses are trying to kill each other, with real bullets.
I wish someone would save music from these so-called artists.
So, who's trying to stop the gangsta rapers from killing each other?
He want to save him from becoming 25 cent or nickel cent. 25 cent not a lot of money nowday. Dime bag is more than nickel cent and you cant buy dime bag with nickel cause it cost a dime.
Are you rapping?
"I wish someone would save music from these so-called artists."
I wish parents would stop their children from buying and listening this trash they call rap and that is poisoning their minds and souls.
Thanks for offering us your 2 cents of humor. LOL!
G Money Good Driver.
We need to get you a record contract.
That would be the other people who work in the building that houses "HOT97"!
Where all the shoot outs occur.
Every generation pissed off Mom and Dad, why does this one kill?
If Rap was real, everyones 2nd album would be about how rich I am and you are not!!
But actually, and I can't prove it, but I'll bet most second albums are even more inflammatory.
Keepin' it real, no kid ever saw a Cop or Fireman?
Rap is like every other business, get as much as fast as possible before anyone finds out they don't need or want you!!
Well, ya can't blame this Korn guy for trying, but I doubt he'll find anything besides a lot of public ridicule from this Christian-phobic society we live in...
This guy is a brand new born again Christian. He is literally trying to help save their souls.
This is a very new convert I think. Only a couple of months.
I have no idea who he is, but there have been several threads his conversion in the last month or so.
Every joker out there is going to want to get their two cents in on this here thread.
