(Cincinnati, Ohio)—Behind the tough-guy, rock & roll image, and the tattoos, former Korn guitarist, Brian Welch, reveals he has something more to say to today's youth with the release of his solo debut, Save Me From Myself, which was released by Driven Music Group [this week].
If you've met Brian "Head" Welch, or talked to him recently, it's easy to pick up on his genuine, loving, and Christ-like spirit. Some of that same honesty and devotion to the truth is what listeners will find reflected in the songs on Save Me From Myself. (Photo: FOXNews.com)
Many of the songs, written over the past few years, are Welch's testimony—about his previous drug addiction, leaving Korn, and his radical faith in Jesus Christ. "A lot of the songs were written when I was going through different things, (such as dealing with a drug addiction)…I'm totally a new person today. I'm not that guy, but it's cool to be able to sing about the drug addiction, and the freedom, because I was bound by that stuff," Welch said. "Because I've been there, and have overcome it, I believe God has given me power to tell my story, and I believe that gives hope to other people who are going through the same thing. And, it's cool that I feel so free inside, myself."
Although, Head has experienced fame, and a successful career, he admits there were earlier times in his life when he felt empty, and even close to the edge of death. "When I was in Korn, I would get up, eat and drink beer, and I would start my day like that, or in my darker days, I would get up, get alone, and do lines of speed to start my day," Welch said. "Now, I get up and I pray, read the Bible and I get with God, and then I start my day. To me, I rock harder now than I have in years. I'm the same person, it's just what I do is different. It's a lot cleaner, healthier, and my life is filled with so much more power."
Head said his daughter said it best, "She says I'm funnier now."
