Brian `Head` Welch has recently departed from the band...
Here is the official statement from www.korn.com:
Korn has parted ways with guitarist Brian `Head` Welch,
who has chosen the Lord Jesus Christ as his saviour,
and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end.
Korn respects Brian`s wishes
and hopes he finds the happiness he is searching for.
Johnathan, Fieldy, James and David are personally closer than ever,
and are currently in the studio working on their 8th record,
the follow up to their highly successful Greatest Hits album.
The record is due to be released this coming September.
Brian spoke with MTV News and he had this to say:
I love everybody in the band — I was afraid to leave
It made me sad to think that I would be hurting the band if I left
For the last year and a half, I wanted to leave
But someone would always talk to me and convince me to stay, Welch said.
But I`ve had a problem with the way things were going since the second record
I mean, we would do things, and I would be like
`Oh, this is metal! This is the rock and roll life!`
But inside, I thought they took it too far. It was a little too crude for me.
Welch said that the statement issued by Korn`s management company
blew things out of proportion
and that his newfound spirituality was just another step
on his path of self-discovery
It wasn`t the reason he left Korn — the band he helped form in 1993
A band that`s sold more than 11 million records in the U.S.
He left because he had become sick of chasing the almighty buck,
and felt that being respected by his young daughter
was more important than being rich.
I have a 6-year-old daughter, and I want her to be able to look me in the eye
I`m a single dad, that`s what it comes down to, he said
And the guys were really accommodating when I would tell them that
They`d be like, `Bring your daughter on tour! We`ll work the tour around you.`
But that`s not the place for a 6-year-old
She would be sitting backstage sometimes, just counting dollars
Because Fieldy would tell her
`Every time you hear a curse word, you`ll get a dollar. It will help us stop cursing.`
And at the end of the day, she`d turn to me and be like
`Look at all my money, Daddy!`
So after a weekend of soul-searching
coupled with reading from a Bible his friend had leant him
Welch decided it was time to go
And his decision was not a popular one with his bandmates.
I think it made the guys mad. It confused them
I left at the worst possible time. We got off Sony, and all the money was there
we were going to own all of our songs
but I had to prove to myself that money wasn`t my God, he said.
I talked to Jonathan Davis and he said
`I don`t get it, man, you`re all happy and we`re sitting here grieving
because our band is breaking up.`
And I wanted to tell him, `Well, for years, you guys were out partying
while I was sitting on the tour bus wanting to die.`
Welch also said that for the past month
he`s been trying to reach out to the other members of Korn
but has gotten little response
He said he spent his final days in Korn talking with bassist Fieldy
and had even mentioned the songs he`d been recording on his own
which reflected his growing spirituality. Fieldy was less than receptive.
I just asked Fieldy if he`d be interested in producing
some of the stuff I`ve been working on
but he hasn`t called me back in weeks, Welch said
I mean, I was saying some stuff to him during my final days in Korn
some crazy stuff. But since I`ve left the band
I`ve heard nothing from him at all.
Welch`s solo material — which will be released under the name Head
will not be Christian music. Rather, he said, he wants it to be an
extension of the Korn family.
I always loved that Korn`s music helped kids let out aggression
But with my new music, I want kids to know that there`s more out there, he said
I want to show them there`s a light at the end of the pain tunnel
That there`s more out there than just aggression
I want to say to them, `Hey kids, come over here
Let`s bounce back and forth and have fun.`
And yes, Welch does plan on speaking on Sunday at the Valley Bible Fellowship
He`s just not certain what he`s going to say. He`s just going to speak from the heart
And he wants his fans to know that even if they can`t make it out to Bakersfield, California
to hear him speak, they can check out his message on his new Web site
www.HeadToChrist.com — which launches Friday (February 25).
Man, when I get up there onstage, it`s going to be me just letting things flow
I have no idea what I`m going to say, it`s just going to come out, he said
I mean, I`m going to be like a kid up there. Because that`s really what I am now
I`m a baby Christian. Send " Important Announcement From " Ringtone to your Cell
