Keep your eyes open for news reports of CD
burnings following a comment made by Korn Guitarist James Munky Shaffer.
Not since John Lennon uttered the words that The Beatles were more popular
than Jesus has a rock star made a statement that has caused so much immediate
backlash.
"I think this is true Hitler went to Heaven
(if such a thing as Heaven really exists), Shaffer told British publication
Metal Hammer. He felt that what he did was right, and I think that if
what you feel you're doing is right, in your heart, then you can't be wrong!"
Unlike Lennons comment that was made in
what he thought was a private conversation with a journalist and was taken
out of context, it is pretty hard to image Munky meaning anything other
than what he said. Although many music publications have already picked
up on Munkys comments, the band and Munky have yet to respond to the initial
backlash.
With this latest controversy the much maligned
band, has created yet another reason for fans and non-fans to deride them.
Just last month Munky went on record with the same magazine apologizing
for inflicting the world with Limp Bizkit.
When asked about Korns part in helping
break Limp Bizkit Munky responded, Yeah, sorry about that," he told Metal
Hammer.co.uk. "I mean, Fred Durst knocked on our bus door in Jacksonville
like, 'Hey man, listen to my tape,' so it's our fault. I'm not ashamed
of that, it's just sometimes when you bring a band to the public you can't
control what people are going to do, and it's silly to think you can when
you want them to do one thing and they do another. You just feel frustrated.
