Corn's Brian “Head” Welch has spoken openly about his faith and general misconceptions, and in a new interview he wants to shine the light of Christ on people of faith and fans who never cross the path. It explains what you're thinking. Welch is famous for leaving the Grammy Award-winning NU Metal Band in 2005 after he became a Christian and launched a new band, Love and Death.
However, in 2013, Welch returned to Cone in a move that disrupts fans both inside and outside the faith community. To be clear, Welch said that at that time and now he was just as committed to Christ as he was in 2005.
Welch said Church leaders He returned to the corn only after three close friends agreed to his move.
“I checked, double check, double check, and quadruple aid that I should be there,” Welch said of the cone. “So I don't care what anyone says. God just puts his hands on it and I'm always looking at him. So that's all I'm paying attention to.”
He didn't go back to the cone. He said God showed us, “Don't be afraid to become light in the darkness.”
“And he made it clear to me through his own heart, through his own heart, and through those I trusted in leadership. [to Korn]. He meant it wasn't the right time. He began to make clear through his lawyer that the time had come. And that's what connected [me rejoining Korn]. ”
Welch recognizes that some Christians disagree with their choices.
“I have this strange call that doesn't write me down because a lot of Christians don't understand it,” he said.
Welch said it was one of the biggest misconceptions about Korn, and church leaders include frequent use of coarse language in songs. Before his conversion to Christianity, Welch played a prominent role as a background singer. However, since he returned to 2013, his role has been significantly reduced, church leaders reported.
“To be honest, [lead singer] Jonathan [Davis] I'd write parts for me at the time, and when I came back he just said I was out of the band for a long time.
Despite the general stereotypes about rock bands, Welch said there was no backstage group, Welch said.
“Everyone is in a relationship and is dedicated,” he said. “We're bored behind the scenes. The excitement is at that stage with the fans. Then it's about eating, showering and sleeping soundly.”

His bandmates are open to Christianity, he said.
“If you lead with love and have that as your motivation, Paul said, 'You're nothing,'” Welch told church leaders. “I think the members of my band have seen a lot of corruption, and a few of them grew up in really tough religious churches, so they were injured.”
“So they're open to it, but they have a bad experience with Christianity, so they're open to other things,” Welch said. “But they are definitely open Jesusthey respect [my faith]. ”
