Brian Head Welch, US, Guitarist August 11. Brian Welch. Brian—Also Known by His Stage Name Head—Was a Guitarist and a Foundi Brian Head Welch, US, Guitarist August 11. Brian Welch. Brian—also known by his stage name Head—was a guitarist and a founding member of the nu metal band Korn, who pioneered nu metal music, a form of alternative metal music—music for the disenfranchised. In 2005, Brian left the band to focus on life as a father and to pursue his own solo career. He released his debut Christian album, Save Me from Myself, in 2008. Now, at the top of Brian’s Facebook page, he’s posted: “I am an example that depression, addiction, and deep-rooted self-hatred can be conquered.” On this date in 2009, Brian published his award-winning book Washed in the Blood: Lessons from My Time with Korn and My Journey to Christ. Today’s story shows what turned Brian into a conqueror. If you’re a slave to the fix, surrender to Jesus, and be free. The whole world thought Brian and his bandmates were living the musical dream, but behind the scenes, Brian’s life had eroded into a nightmare. The alternative-metal band Korn was #1 on the charts, and night after night the group played to stadiums filled with screaming fans. “We’ve made it; we’ve arrived. There’s nowhere else to climb,” said guitarist Brian. But he soon learned that the cliché was true: it really was lonely at the top. And loneliness was not his biggest problem. Brian had become a slave to a meth addiction and its chaotic lifestyle. He was using every day just to function. On the road with the band, he had every type of drug at his disposal; he couldn’t get away from it if he wanted to. At home, he would wake, snort meth, and make breakfast. “I spent day by day, week by week … using meth. I didn’t miss one day because I couldn’t get out of bed without it,” Brian said. Brian knew no way out of his hell, so he emailed a trusted friend with a cry for help. His friend replied with a Scripture he felt God had given him for Brian. Brian read the words: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28 NIV). That moment was a turning point for Brian. The words his friend had sent comforted him, and he got a glimpse of hope—a way out of the hell he was in. On Sunday morning that same friend invited him to church. Desperate for help, with nothing to lose, Brian accepted. The two men sat together in the service. The singing and praying going on around him made Brian feel awkward. He didn’t want to be there, but he felt compelled to stay. The pastor talked about how God had brought him out of a life of alcoholism and violence. And something began to stir inside Brian. He needed what that pastor had. Brian needed freedom. He prayed that if God were real, He would show up. At home that night, Brian put his daughter in front of the TV and sat down to do what he always did. Snort some meth. But this time was different. This time he prayed. “Jesus, if you’re real like that pastor said, you gotta take these drugs from me. When you’ve reached the top … come into my life … you know I want to stop.” Suddenly the words of the pastor rang in Brian’s head. “The Lord will fix you. You don’t have to come to him fixed. You come to him all broken.” “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls’” (Matthew 11:28–29 NLT). Do you struggle with habitual sin? If you’re a slave to a fix, surrender to Jesus, and be free. RealTalkTVShow. “Interview with Brian ‘Head’ Welch.” YouTube. February 4, 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfYPSpq6Faw&t=585s.

The first performance was the Ragtime Revue, where students heard Ragtime and unusual instruments, like the Theramin, washboard, and musical saw. After the performance, students had the opportunity to play the shamisen, mandolin, and a three-manual organ. Other performances were the Forte String Quartet, with a 16-year- old guest violinist from Maine; the Western Winds, a cappella vocal ensemble from New York City; and the Mindanao Kulintang Ensemble from the Southern Philippines. Founder and Creative Director, Masanobu Ikemiya, has brought a variety of music from around the world to the State of Maine through the Arcady performances. Mindanao Kulintang Ensemble On Tuesday, August 26th, Director Ikemiya visited Mountain View to speak and perform for students at the facility. Nominated for a Grammy Award in 1994, he often performs with the New York Philharmonic and Japan Philharmonic Orchestras, and is the director of the New York Ragtime Orchestra.

He is not going to take you out of that clean you out and then put you right back in it. Brian Welch. No trivia or quizzes yet. Want to Read saving…. Though his story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself, as long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit. Reading about his return to Korn, and the thoughts of his bandmates are intriguing, and the struggles Brian has with Jennea his daughter have you rooting for both of them by the end.

  • Katie: a Daughter with a Dad-Shaped Hole
    Hard Times & Hope, episode 9 Katie: A daughter with a dad-shaped hole Today’s guest is KATIE. Katie and I met through a freelancer’s workshop, where we connected and became friends. Most of the time, when I have these hard times & hope conversations, until the guest says it, I don’t know what the hard time is that they’re going to reference. But with Katie, I knew, and it’s something I wanted to give space for on this podcast. Trigger Warning: this episode includes mentions of contemplated and completed suicide. It’s okay. It’s a good conversation. Let’s go! Jule: Katie, thank you so much for taking the time to be here for this conversation. I am so excited about it. Katie: Thank you for asking me to be part of this project, I was excited that from your day one and just to be involved is , it just makes me, it fills me with so much joy. Jule: You know about the whole podcast journey for me. That's really cool. Katie: Yes, indeed. Jule: And now you're even more a part of it. So this is hard times in hope. And I was wondering, just to frame our conversation. What's the hard time you're planning on using for reference? Katie: I will be using my dad's suicide. However, despite the fact that that in and of itself is like a big splunk of a brick and like still lake water , it's actually the reverberation, that like ripple effect of that big brick in the still water over the last 18 years that has really that's the hard times and hope that I'm going to kind of talk about.

  • The Whosoevers in 2005
    During an outreach concert in Rochester, NY, Brian “Head” Welch performs “Adonai,” a song he wrote about God’s redemption. The song appears on Head’s album Save Me from Myself, which he released after surrendering his life to Christ and withdrawing from the multiplatinum band Korn The Whosoevers in 2005. Head now partners with Ryan Ries, Sonny Sandoval, and Ronnie Faisst of the Whosoevers to reach teens.

Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP in 1993, the members of LAPD crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn. After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose in the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow- up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, Michigan, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order).
