Kontroversi dengan mantan anggota band

In September 2009, Korn guitarist Munky, in an interview with Altitude TV, alleged that the band had denied a request by Welch to rejoin the outfit. Bulan September 2009, gitaris Korn Munky, dalam sebuah wawancara dengan Ketinggian TV, menuduh bahwa band ini telah menolak permintaan oleh Welch untuk bergabung kembali dengan pakaian. In the interview, Munky claimed: Dalam wawancara, Munky menyatakan:
Brian ('Head' Welch) actually contacted us recently and wanted to come back to the band. And it was not the right time... for us. We're doing well, and it's kind of like... It's kind of like if you divorced your wife and she went on and she stayed successful and her career flourished, and you go back and [say], 'My gosh, she's still hot.' "Brian ( 'Head' Welch) benar-benar menghubungi kami baru-baru ini dan ingin kembali ke band. Dan ini bukan waktu yang tepat ... untuk kita. Kami sedang melakukan dengan baik, dan hal itu seperti ... Ini semacam dari seperti jika Anda menceraikan istri Anda dan dia pergi dan dia tetap sukses dan kariernya berkembang, dan Anda kembali dan [mengatakan], 'My gosh, dia masih panas. " 'Baby, can we get back together?' "Baby, bisakah kita kembali bersama?" 'Wait a minute... All the stuff's been divided, and it's like...' 'Tunggu sebentar ... Semua barang-barang telah dibagi, dan rasanya seperti ...' I don't see it happening right now. It's not gonna happen right now." [ 44 ] Saya tidak melihat hal itu terjadi sekarang. Ini tidak akan terjadi sekarang. "[44]
Shortly after, Welch responded to the statement via his Myspace, denying the claims: Tak lama setelah, Welch menanggapi pernyataan melalui nya Myspace, menyangkal klaim:
I recently learned of an interview that Munky gave where he said that I came to Korn and asked to be taken back in the band. That's definitely not a complete and accurate picture. The full truth is that for about a year, ever since Jonathan publicly said he wanted me back in Korn, Korn's managers have been requesting my manager to work on getting me back into Korn. The calls were initiated by Korn's managers, not my manager. I shut the door on their requests many, many times over the last several months, through my manager. However, Fieldy personally called me during Korn's last tour in Europe and we talked as friends for a long time. He also told me if I ever wanted to rejoin Korn, or open for Korn as a solo artist, the door was always open. Since Fieldy is sober now and a christian like me, I thought it may be a good idea to visit with Fieldy, a friend of mine, to see what he was up to and what it was all about. I had a great time re-connecting with Fieldy. I mainly went to his house to connect with an old friend. The Korn stuff we talked about was secondary, but It was discussed. Fieldy thought that Jonathan, Munky, and I should all meet AS FRIENDS; re-connect; and maybe discuss the possibilities. Both Jonathan and Munky refused that meeting. I learned a lot visiting with Fieldy. I learned that I love and miss my friends, but the visit confirmed to me that I have a different calling in life than to reconnect musically/professionally. As far as Munky's comment that "everything has been divided already" that is also not accurate. In fact, from January 2005 when I left, and for the next 4 years, Korn failed to pay to me royalties that were due me on records that I did with them. However, I don't believe this was done intentionally. We are trying to be patient and work with their management to get the financial issues resolved so that "everything can be divided as we agreed long ago in our contracts." I am optimistic that we can resolve it as friends. I continue to wish nothing but the best for Korn, and that includes all of my friends there--Fieldy, Jonathan and Munky." [ 45 ] "Saya baru-baru belajar dari sebuah wawancara yang Munky memberi di mana dia mengatakan bahwa Aku datang untuk Korn dan minta dibawa kembali dalam band. Itu jelas bukan gambaran yang lengkap dan akurat. Kebenaran yang penuh adalah bahwa selama setahun, sejak Jonathan publik mengatakan ia ingin saya kembali pada Metallica, Korn manajer telah meminta manajer saya untuk bekerja pada mendapatkan saya kembali ke Korn. Para panggilan yang diprakarsai oleh Korn manajer, bukan manajer saya. aku menutup pintu pada permintaan mereka banyak, berkali-kali selama beberapa bulan terakhir, melalui manajer saya. Namun, secara pribadi Fieldy Korn menelepon saya selama tur terakhir di Eropa dan kami berbicara sebagai teman untuk waktu yang lama. Dia juga bilang kalau aku pernah ingin bergabung kembali dengan Metallica, atau terbuka untuk Korn sebagai artis solo , pintu itu selalu terbuka. Sejak Fieldy adalah mabuk sekarang dan christian seperti saya, saya pikir mungkin ide yang baik untuk mengunjungi Fieldy, seorang teman saya, untuk melihat apa yang sedang sampai dengan dan apa semua itu. Saya memiliki waktu yang kembali berhubungan dengan Fieldy. Aku terutama pergi ke rumahnya untuk berhubungan dengan teman lama. The Korn hal yang kita bicarakan adalah hal sekunder, tetapi itu dibahas. Fieldy berpikir bahwa Jonathan, Munky, dan aku harus semua bertemu AS FRIENDS; re-connect; dan mungkin mendiskusikan kemungkinan. Baik Jonathan dan Munky menolak pertemuan itu. Aku belajar banyak berkunjung dengan Fieldy. Aku belajar bahwa aku cinta dan rindu teman-teman saya, tapi kunjungan dikonfirmasi kepada saya bahwa saya memiliki berbeda menelepon dalam hidup daripada untuk menyambung kembali musik / profesional. Sejauh Munky komentar bahwa "semuanya telah dibagi sudah" yang juga tidak akurat. Pada kenyataannya, dari Januari 2005 ketika aku pergi, dan selama 4 tahun, Korn gagal membayar royalti kepada saya karena saya yang pada catatan yang saya lakukan dengan mereka. Namun, saya tidak percaya ini dilakukan dengan sengaja. Kami berusaha untuk bersabar dan bekerja dengan manajemen untuk mendapatkan masalah keuangan diselesaikan sehingga "segala sesuatu dapat dibagi sebagai lama lalu kami sepakat dalam kontrak. "Saya optimis bahwa kita dapat mengatasinya sebagai teman. saya terus berharap apa-apa selain yang terbaik untuk Metallica, dan yang mencakup semua teman-temanku di sana - Fieldy, Jonathan, dan Munky." [45]
Weeks later, in reference to Korn's early albums, Jonathan stated in an interview with pulseoftheradio that: Minggu kemudian, di referensi album awal Korn, Jonathan menyatakan dalam sebuah wawancara dengan pulseoftheradio bahwa:
Davis said that the essence of Korn is intact. "I'll lay it down to you right now: all the writing was done by Fieldy and Munky," he said. Head [ex-guitarist Brian Welch] wasn't really there for any of it, because he was so jacked up on drugs and worrying about other things. So the core of Korn is there. Davis also mentioned David saying; "David [Silveria, ex-drummer] was there to write beats, but he wasn't really there. "Davis mengatakan bahwa esensi Korn utuh." Aku akan meletakkannya ke Anda sekarang: semua tulisan dilakukan oleh Fieldy dan Munky, "katanya. Kepala [ex-gitaris Brian Welch] tidak benar-benar ada untuk semua itu, karena ia begitu mendongkrak pada obat-obatan dan mengkhawatirkan hal-hal lain. Jadi, inti dari Korn di sana. Davis juga disebutkan Daud berkata; "David [Silveria, mantan drumer] berada di sana untuk menulis berdetak, tetapi dia tidak benar-benar ada. And adding Ray [Luzier] as the drummer — he loves playing drums and he plays just like David did. Dan menambahkan Ray [Luzier] sebagai drummer - dia suka bermain drum dan dia bermain seperti Daud lakukan. We're excited that we found someone that fits that mold. Kami sangat gembira bahwa kami menemukan seseorang yang cocok yang cetakan. So I think we got the three that's the core of what Korn is." [ 46 ] Jadi saya pikir kami mendapat tiga itulah inti dari apa Korn adalah.
