Brian 'Head' Welch Aims To Save 50 Cent
03.14.2005 3:53 PM EST
Ex-Korn guitarist calls new song 'a personal letter to 50 from God.'
Since he left Korn last month to focus on Christianity, Brian "Head" Welch has delivered a sermon from the pulpit, traveled to Israel and been baptized in the Jordan River. Now he's turning his attention to saving souls — and he's decided to start with 50 Cent.
On Friday, Welch e-mailed MTV News detailing his trip to Israel (see "Claiming 'God Told Me' Brian 'Head" Welch Is Baptized In Israel"), where he began working on solo material to be released under the moniker Head. One of the songs he discussed in detail was — as he described it — "a personal letter to 50 from God," which he may or may not release, depending on 50's reaction to it.
"The Big Guy speaks through me a lot when I write, and I have a song for 50 Cent I wrote in the Holy Land. I feel like it's a personal letter to 50 from God, so I'm going to give it to him personally and see what his reaction is," Welch wrote. "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 said he doesn't fear retribution from 50; rather, he feels protected by the fact that he's merely acting as an emissary between God and the former Curtis Jackson.
"It's not a mean song, but it is like a loving father disciplining his son and telling him how it is — kind of like Tré's dad in the movie 'Boyz N the Hood,' " Welch continued. "There is really no way he can come back at me through music because it's not from me ... it's from the Big Guy. Even 50 respects the Big Guy."
50 Cent's spokesperson at Interscope Records had no comment on the songs...

Funny how God picked RIGHT NOW for the guy to try to save Fiddy. I guess God no longer cares about the Bomb Squad; they haven't been around the top of the Holy Hot 100 List for far too long...

Wow, that perverse nu-metal as missionary logic sort of goes beyond standard racist patronizing rhetoric and standard Bible thumping patronizing rhetoric into some kind of vortex of absolute, unspeakable absurdity . . .

to show his fealty to his master fifty, the game's gonna unload a clip in the head's culo.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 07:43 (twenty years ago)

seriously, what does this guy THINK 50 cent's reaction is gonna be?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 07:48 (twenty years ago)

This guy is totally C list. Why would 50 cent talk to him?

Well, somebody should shoot the stupid motherfucker.

Brian "Head" Welch's whole Christian thing is a huge performance-art stunt, right?

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 08:18 (twenty years ago)

"The Big Guy"? He means Arthur Carlson, right?

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 08:20 (twenty years ago)

Who should therefore remind him that "the least you can do is try to *act* normal."

This has to be true. It's all a massive prank that's going to end with Edward M Egan being punked.

this is my favorite part:

"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."

that's a pretty genius bit of circular logic...either he releases the song and get publicity off that, or he gets to meet with 50, which might get some publicity in and of itself.

I'd rather Fiddy release his reaction to the world.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

that really would be the best diss track ever

― Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Best response to Head would be JOHN CAGE'S 4'33" OMGLOFL

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 05:24 (twenty years ago)

I think he should put out the song either way for my amusement.

OTM as long as Puffy's remix adds the beat from Ace Of Base's "The Sign" and the occasional "uh."

Brian has big plans for his new record stating, "I'm gonna finish my record quick and then sell it on my website," He explains. "That way, there are no hands on the money that I make, so I can give it back to my people by building something positive, like a skatepark or something." Brian wants everyone to know that suggestions are welcome. "It's [the fans'] money!" One piece on the new album, will be an instrumental guitar solo with a background piano. It is called, "A Letter To Dimebag." Brian explains, "It is written in guitar language, and I did it because he used to tell me we needed to put guitar solo's in Korn. So, this song's for him, and to him. It's saying how much I miss him. Even though we weren't too close, his very friendly personality had a great impact on me!" Brian concludes, "This cd is full of heart-grabbing music man! I can't wait to get it out!" So, feel free to give suggestions. goodideas@headtochrist.com

Hey i think that Brian is doing a good thing with his life, its just people are hating on him just because he's gonna diss 50. Its just a message from God, letting him know to remember he should not take his popularity for granted. hey brian, thats koo that you found God, and followed the light, if KoRn has a problem with that, its aight just let em be, they'll find the light one day, well aight den everyone , late..
