Brian Welch
FameRank: 6

"Brian Phillip Welch", better known by the stage name "Head", is an American musician best known as one of the guitarists and co-founder of the nu metal band Korn and his solo project Love and Death (band)/Love and Death. Along with fellow Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, Welch helped develop Korn's distinctive sound, a mix of sirenlike shards of dissonant guitar that mimicked a turntablist's various effects and rumbling down-tuned riffing, that defined the nu metal aesthetic beginning in the mid-'90s.

After becoming a born again (Christianity)/born again Christian, Welch left the band in 2005 to focus on life as a father and to pursue his own solo career. He released his debut Christian album Save Me from Myself (album)/Save Me from Myself, in 2008. He reunited with Korn on-stage at the Carolina Rebellion on May 5, 2012 for the first time in seven years, and on May 2, 2013, officially announced rejoining the band. Welch and Munky were ranked at No. 26 of Guitar World's 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time.

It creates an unworkable situation … with more questions than answers.

I just love those guys, even though they think I'm crazy. I pray for them every day.

And the others all have three feet of water in their homes.

I worshipped money so much that it ruined my life. Money is not my god. I just want to manage His money for Him, for the poor people, the lost kids. I just love everybody.

I couldn't live like that with my friends worshipping money. I couldn't live like that. People wanted to chase girls, they had a silent competition about finding the best girls, and who had the best party on the bus. It was childish. It broke my heart.

My family never took me to church except a couple of times. But when I was 12, I hung out with this kid's family and they were Christians and he became my best friend. His family had peace. I asked his mother what peace was about, and she told me how to ask Jesus into my heart. So I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 12, but then I slowly drifted away.
