Stapes Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Welch broke the news Sunday on Bakersfield, Calif., station KRAB-FM. "Korn Guitarist Finds God, Leaves BandTue Feb 22, 8:31 PM ET Entertainment - Reuters By Jonathan Cohen NEW YORK (Billboard) - Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has parted ways with the hard rock act, citing a recent religious awakening. I had it in my heart to come here and explain to you," Welch said. "I'm good friends with Korn. I love those guys, and they love me, and they're very happy for me." Addressing the aggressive tone of the music he made with Korn, Welch said, "Anger is a good thing, and if kids want to listen to Korn, good, but there's happiness after the anger. I'm going to show it through my actions how much I love my fans." Welch added that he would be appearing at a local church on Feb. 27, during which time he would "speak (about) how I got to this place in my life, and I'll answer all your questions." On its official Web site (http://www.korn.com), Korn's remaining members said they respect Welch's wishes and hope "he finds the happiness he is searching for." The group is in the studio working on a new album, due in September, which will be its first since fulfilling its contract with Epic last year. For now, no replacement for Welch has been named, nor has a new label home for the band. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 here's my take on bands I don't like: at least their fans aren't starting to cheeze up the music i DO like. they've gotta listen to SOMETHING...and i must admit the drummer for blink is a machine. too spot on...it's kinda creepy at times.
