 Brian
"Head" Welch shared from the heart his
newfound freedom in Christ! Brian gave his
life to Jesus earlier this year, left
the band KORN as its lead guitarist, and now
publicly let the world know of his
decision.
Welch discussed his reasons for
leaving KORN this past
Sunday (February 27), as he
addressed the congregation at Valley
in Bakersfield,
California, where he gave his life to
Christ and recently began
attending services.
 "I
thought I had everything ... everything
that you thought was life ... Through
the years ... I found that it's nothing
actually."
"Happiness comes from one place and
that's the Lord."
"I'm the real deal ... people say
'Oh, you're just a baby Christian,' and
stuff. I'm telling you just watch,
watch in two years, five years, ten
years ... I'm on fire for the Lord.
I'm not gonna lose it."
A live
simulcast was provided to our
congregation here in Las Vegas during
both services.
MTV and CNN both showed up. We will be providing
the details of the MTV rebroadcast as it
becomes available.

Former KORN guitarist Brian "Head"
Welch said that one of the reasons he
left the band was to set a better
example for his six-year-old daughter,
according to the Bakersfield
Californian. Welch said, "I just grew up
a little bit...I've got to think of my
kid. I just want to do the right thing." Although
KORN's management offered to
let Welch bring his daughter on tour
with him, the guitarist was not
interested: "What parents would want
their kids to go on a rock 'n' roll
tour, a heavy metal tour?"
Welch's departure from the band was
made official on Tuesday (February 22)
when KORN issued a statement that read
in part, "[Welch] has chosen the Lord
Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be
dedicating his musical pursuits to that
end. KORN respects Brian's wishes, and
hopes he finds the happiness he's
searching for."
A founding member of KORN for
thirteen years, Welch told the
Californian that he's not surprised by
the reactions to his departure: "My old
friend called today and said he was
called up by another friend of mine who
said, 'Who brainwashed Brian?' Man, you
guys don't even know...A lot of people
think I'm crazy. I don't care."
Welch admitted he was increasingly
disturbed by the dark image that KORN
projected. "Those guys in the band,
they're not bad guys. They're just a
bunch of kids getting marketed how these
guys in the big corporate firms want to
do. It makes us look like bad people,
but we're really just a bunch of kids
who never had a chance to grow up."
