Choosing Faith – Brian Welch quits Korn and kicks drugs
April 16th, 2010 | by admin |
Brian “Head” Welch, former lead-guitarist for Korn, a controversial nu-metal band, is now a Christian and no longer does drugs (meth) and alcohol. He says in this interview on Fox News that he has found God.
Amazon.com says this in an Editorial Review of his book, “Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story”:
In February 2005, more than 10,000 people in Bakersfield, California, watched as Brian “Head” Welch–the former lead guitarist of the controversial Nu–metal band Korn–was saved by Jesus Christ. The event set off a media frenzy as observers from around the world sought to understand what led this rock star out of the darkness and into the light.
Now, in this courageous memoir, Head talks for the first time about his shocking embrace of God and the tumultuous decade that led him into the arms of Jesus Christ. Taking the reader backstage with Korn, Head tells the inside story of life in the band and how his rock star lifestyle resulted in an all–consuming addiction to methamphetamines. Head writes openly about the tour bus mayhem of Ozzfest and The Family Values tour, while providing a candid look at how the routine of recording and traveling placed him in a cycle of addiction that he could not break on his own.
Speaking honestly about his addiction, Head details his struggles with the drug that ultimately led him to seek a higher power. Despite his numerous attempts to free himself from his addiction, nothing–not even the birth of his daughter–could spur him to kick meth for good. Here he addresses how, with the help of God, he emerged from his dangerous lifestyle and found a path that was not only right for his daughter, it was right for him. In addition, he discusses the chaotic end to his time in Korn, and how his newfound faith has changed his perspective on his past.

hmmm… he looked for an answer to his personal problems, found it and… Hmmm… What’s so miraculous about that? He created exactly what he needed psychologicaly. Self-hypnosis! And then the idiot had to squeeze a buck out of it and “wrote” a book about his ordeal. Bu hu, shallow moron.

GOD is something Christ wanted to show humanity.

GOD is not a dude. Jesus was; Jesus was a Wise Man, also, ok, but VERY different from GOD.

I would like to clear up that I am not bashing against Head whatsoever. I’ve worked with drug addicts in the past, and he shows those signs.
Now, I might be, wrong, I’m not perfect. But if he really is still there…. mentally stable, and actually did ‘find God’ then it’s all good lol.

I might get severely thumbed down (from expressing my feelings), and the first amendment won’t defend me, but I will post what I believe:
I am definitely a believer of God, that being said, It’s good to hear that he “found god.” Reason why I’m using quotation marks is because, for some odd reasons, I believe that he’s permanently on a high-trip. The way he acts, moves, speaks aren’t the same before he “found god.” I think that within his ‘permanent trip’ he “feels” God within.

yeh.. i can make that scrawl alot simpler for you mate..
people who call themselves Christians, but aren’t are, their your “OK” “passive” “Christians”…
but your “asshole Christians” are the actual, Christians, the ones that live by the Bible…
the ones that offend you, for being different, and not doing the things you do ETC..
that’s the whole point of being a Christian.
