Korn, Addiction, and Redemption: An Interview with Brian "Head" Welch
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2021
- Brian “Head” Welch had success, fame, wealth-all the things you dream of as a musician. But along with them came addiction, loneliness, and a depression heavier than the music he was making. Yet in the middle of that rampant darkness, God found him and offered genuine hope. Join us today as Brian tells his story, and see how God wants that same hope for you.

I'm praying that Jesus will pull head and this band even closer to him!
I grew up listening to Korn as a kid and now that Im grown with a family of my own, I still struggled with my past , but hearing your story as a fellow Christian has been very inspirational to me.
Thanks from one Brian to another!
Keep fighting the good fight, dude - He is here with you
There's Brian JOHNSON too😉😂
We need more real conversations like this in the Church. This is good stuff and so inspiring. Brutal honesty and openness, I love it. Thank you for this interview! Changing lives and glorifying God.
Brian Head Welch is one of the people that inspire me.
Now this is the type of church I would go too
I'm so glad this man gave his life to the lord.
Love it!!!!!
I have so much respect for this guy.
I love your precious testimony. Praise the lord.
Head is always an epic testimony. Whosoevers forever !
God bless and God's guidance to Head always 🙏❤️
love him so much ♡
Absolutely LOVE this !!! Thank you Brian for being so real and showing how God will meet you where you are !!!
Totally sad ..thank the Lord Jesus Christ ✝️. Also what Brian said is not gospel.
You can’t play AC/DC songs and be truly a converted born again Christian. Sorry to inform you
@@notabot2928 yes exactly. none of the secular music gives glory to God, and in fact many are against God.
Believe me I used to listen to heavy metal bands like megadeth, metallica, pantera and rock-pop bands like korn.
Nothing good comes from this.
@@sammax3165 I agree
@@sammax3165 What YOU just said is not gospel. The road you've travelled doesn't seem to be driving hundreds of youth to the gospel making your comment even more totally sad.
Brian is an amazing man and such a great inspiration for all. He helped me when I came to Christ looking for answers, him and the Whosoevers. He is so funny...love him.
💙💚💎
I’m a Christian woman that’s been trying NOT to fall in love with Brian. But, I’m down for the count after that intro. ❤️
Impossible not to love him...lol! I'm just sayin'!
Love God instead
@@sammax3165 You can love people, as you are supposed to and unless I ruined a joke of yours you should have used your brain 🧠and known it is mostly a joke and a compliment.
@@johncloois3301 Matthew 6:24
@@sammax3165 Ok?
Head is the coolest as always!
Right?!
Awesome story !
Brian is SUCH A COOL DUDE. Thank you God for saving him❤
Not sure he’s saved rockin ac/dc songs and praising ozzy’s talent and dark music.
@@notabot2928 Fortunately in Heavens economy, what YOU think about anyone else's salvation holds no weight or value.
Are you sure He is saved?
@@annecollins1470 you must not read Gods word
@@jeshaiahgreen3636 I've read his books. He is saved yes. You're allowed to be a Christian and like metal music.
I so love and appreciate your candid talk too...wow.
God Bless You Brian! God is not done with you yet!
Awesome
It's good to be Christian and you are responsible for your walk with christ...and help and love your neighbor. But also use your gifts to reach souls...and serve your Christian and church community. And show good fruits...if your doing that then your where God wants you to be...if not...get into disipleship that's how you grow.
Glad for this man life turn around.
Love this ! Thank you Brian for being so real and showing how God will meet you where you are !!!
Love this testimony ❤️ Praise God!!
Not really a testimony this is not a man of God.
@@sammax3165 Really ? and who are you to preach who is in heart a man of God or not ?
@@Mark.13. really? who are you to ask me who I am? Can anyone not speak, think and discern?
I grew up evangelical, and was massively committed to Jesus until I was about 22, and because of the face of their church today, the bigotry, the conspiracy theory mindedness, the selfishness and hatred towards poor people and immigrants and queer people, I will absolutely never be a Christian again even though I respect the Christ of the gospels because he is very much opposed to the modern evangelical. To me, they're the ones he speaks about when he says "depart from me, I never knew you".
But, I looove Korn. They're one of my top 3 favorite bands, and I really respect both Head and Fieldy's faith journeys. And I think the most important thing for me is that they display true Christianity. They're not bigots, they openly support all people no matter how different, and they don't try to change Jon and Munky. They know Jon and Munky will never be Christians and they're still like "well you're my brothers, since we recorded our first record" and that's that. There's no ulterior "I'm gonna get Jonathan saved one day" motives going on.
Head is doing the Lords work. I don't think he knows how incredibly Influencial he is to us that struggle with the the exact same issues. If he is capable of it any one is!
Awesome 👍 God Bless you Brian 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

Cool story. Congrats on everything!
All these people are not preaching GOD''s word.
Lord Jesus Christ is King ✝️✝️✝️.
Brian is like this:
2nd Timothy 3:1-5, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
@@sammax3165 Brian is not like this at all but ok. Christians like you arecthe reason why people hate God and christiannity.
...he makes it look easy; playing that guitar.
I love AC/DC
I like how he does not care about how christians think and started rocking with that riff.
Hank hill: you are making Christianity and rock and roll better!
Hank Hill is not making Christianity better. Jesus said come out from among the world…read your Bible these people are lying to you… Jesus said why do you call me lord and do not what I say.. so sad this is not Christian
@@jcgrace1000 it may be a fictional show but that's pretty judgemental. From what I've seen hank does his best to love God and his family. He serves his friends and family with a deep God driven loyalty.
@@jakejudy5455 I’m not being judgmental friend I’m just telling you what the Bible says……maybe your problem is with Christ not me he is the one that said it….to be Christian is to be like Christ not the world…He said why do you call me lord and do not what I say.I judge no man I made no one God tells his people to tell the truth! Read Gods word …
I love you Brian Welch my soulmate baby forever and for eternity thank you Jesus
Is this a prayer Ana ?
Brian Welch looks like Jesus Christ with dreadlocks xD!
Amazing guitarist!
I would like to know what Jonathan and Munkey think about his faith now. I could see both of them getting saved. It might take a few more years but still.
Pray hard for his band mates salvation. A Christian metal worship band would usher hundreds of thousands onto the Kingdom Road headed for Eternity!
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: The LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
Psalm 5:4-6 KJV
That guitar riff though. So good. And his blazer 😂

God made these songs first. Religious spirit get thee behind me in Jesus name!

Pray to the Lord Jesus Christ ✝️ instead.
2nd Timothy 3:1-5, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
🤘God truly gave us Rock n Roll! Give me Demon Hunter or Wolves at the Gate over some Praise and Worship group. I don't feel God when I hear Praise and Worship music, I hear people's egos swelling. Went to a church once were the Praise and Worship music leader talked about personally know the person that wrote the Apostle's Creed. I stood there thinking "That was written literally 100's of years ago!" The woman didn't look over 30. The claims people make in the the name of the Lord just blow me away. God bless Brian!
I also agree w/ this BUT it's not an either-or black or white thing b/c some gospel music is good and decent and some secular music is trash. BUT also the reverse is true - some secular music is way better than some praise-worship music b/c if the songs are written w/ lyrics that are quoting bible scripture out of context - that is actually worse than the secular music that is not attempting such blasphemous crap like that.
The one who professes to be pure has a higher standard to live up to and will be judged much more harshly. I'd rather listen to a gorgeous song w/ amazing poetry and perfect arrangements and such like 'Year of the Cat' than some of this mis-quoted bible-lyric music that Bethel is out there singing - for real!
God expects us to use our common sense and logic and hear his Holy spirit to discern properly in what music to listen to and which not to. We can't just be simple-minded though about it and say "all gospel music is bad' or "all secular music is wrong" - this is not nuanced thinking and we need to be balanced b/c Christ was a teacher of balance! Also, it depends on where we are on our Christian walk b/c if you're a baby new christian, you prob don't need to be distracted w/ things that you can't balance out yet but mature Christians can make better choices of discernment b/c they earned the right to have that kind of deeper wisdom. We all evolve spiritually in diff ways and on diff levels as we grow and learn in the process. Amen and best wishes to you :)
Sorry God didn’t give rock n roll. God is holy and would not be down with demonic lyrics in many rock songs.
Okay…so you don’t praise and worship God because you don’t feel him in worship music? Its not about your feelings, its about what is truly acceptable praise! And Brian screwed up when he played AC/DC, a band that glorifies the devil! And the devil horns are obviously not godly.
God bless your heart Brian Welch in Jesus name amen
I look up to Brian, but I hesitate on trusting traditional churches. I’ve suffered through some big hurts with my family because of organized religion. Be careful, know your Bible, Love God and desire to be like Jesus. Sometimes you can’t do anything about it
@@Jeaux_Bleaux lol
No worries, You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you...
P R A Y H A R D & continuously.
@@Jeaux_Bleaux
YOU don't know the Bible. Look up edify, encourage, love one another, forbidden to judge motives, reasons or intentions of other Christians. Did you miss God's memo on the trajectory of Brian's life & personal journey on the Kingdom Road? Did the Lord ask YOU to help judge the fruit of Brian's life? How about the fruit of YOUR life... How many ppl have you prayed the sinners prayer with this month? You ever been to or volunteered to serve at a WHOSOEVER out reach event? Just curious....
That was so cool Brian playing back in black in a church you just busted every religious spirit in that place (Jesus would do the same thing bro)
No Jesus would if Jesus was in that place you would be on your face weeping and No thought of Brian or back in black lord have mercy
@@jcgrace1000
...and you prayed instead of watching I'm sure.
🖤
Thank you, Brian...
Thank you Jesus for the power of the Blood saved Brian and use Brian talent for your Glory hallelujah
Head is the man as usual. Host guy 🥴, shhhhh. Let the money sell itself. Im too old to say this but... cringe 💀. Glad Welch is humble and patient enough to treat us 🤘
Crazy how Brians words carry more weight than the pastors
Wrong.
2nd Timothy 3:1-5, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

@@sammax3165 ignorance the the greatest barrier for the church
@@jdb9388 I agree, but Brian Welch is far from a messenger for our Lord Jesus Christ ✝️✝️✝️.

Jesus said you shall know a tree by its fruit, Brians revelation of Saul the persecutor to Paul the vessel of the New Testament is a Testament to Gods eternal wisdom and Gods power, he who is not sick is not in need of a physician, the elect are chosen only God will receive the glory
@@jdb9388 look at the comments on this video?
Who are the people mostly thanking and thinking of?
Lord Jesus Christ?
Or brian welch the fake messenger?
did the pastor and his wife stay married?
that's Cincinnati in backround
Brian has the look of jesus much more than the dude interviewing...
Be careful of your judgement.
Jesus IS a Rockstar... They are larger than life and Supernaturally Supercool... YOU DONT KNOW COOL TIL YOU KNOW JESUS!!!
I JUST HAVE 3 LETTERS: W.O.W.
LAYNE STALEY RITE BY MY SIDE AS I WALK IN WITH MAN IN A BOX AND RITE BEHIND THAT BLOW THE ROOF OFF WITH TOOL SOBER IM CHALLENGING KORN NOW >>COME ON BRIAN
We all suffer,doesn't mean God is real, I want to believe. I just don't know
OK Brian RIte ya me and my DAD and my mom go at it and i said i could walk in our CHURCH next door..and bring HEAVY MEDAL AND SHOW YOU BEST CALL EM FATHER/SON MY DAD IS UPSET FOR IM CHALLENGING GOD/JESUS ..THEY ARE A LIE ...I SHOWED YOU ....
HEY BRIAN, I HAVE A JOB FOR YOU. THERE'S A GUY SOMEWHERE WHO NEEDS TO HEAR ABOUT GOD
Hello handsome
Lot of Ned Flanders Christian’s in the comment section
No but you have to wear a long white rob now and then do that in sandals
WHY is "Thats the way I like it" by KC & the Sunshine Band being played as an intro to this 'church'? And to be starstruck that a guy plays a secular rock song to set the mood in a setting that 'should' be edifying and glorifying God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit!?!? Even these fake 'churches' have sold their soul & MANY are deceived.
You proclaim "deceived"
"MANY" more are drawn.
@@annecollins1470 because we are in the last days.
if you confess with your mouth Jesus Christ is Lord and savior, and believe in your heart God raised him from the Dead, you will be saved.
in the bible Romans chapter 10
AD BC
Lol
the beginnin is errythang
You are so deceived, so blind, WAKE UP ,! Before it’s too late😳
I think you scared that Pastor, Brian.
I don't see or hear the message of the gospel in this what so ever
Ummm. How is this supposed to be church??
It's amazing how many people have fallen for this satanic filth inside the church. As proven by all the positive comments on here.
And I'm a musician that was into the occult and metal, and played guitar to Black Sabbath records in my apartment with all the lights off while candles burned. The word of God says "Abstain from ALL appearances of evil, for example Korn music, lyrics and videos. When Korn plays their music in concerts, which are dark, filled with sexual lyrics, vulgar language, and blasphemies, while the audience and the band flash the cornuto sign (devil horns), do you REALLY believe Brian is leading anyone to Christ in this manner?
You're right. To accept God is to give up worldly things. The problem is people aren't STUDYING their bibles to know the mixing of the common with the holy is not of God.
@@BigJyeTV Amen brother.
But the people who need to be saved are out in the darkness. God uses the most unlikely to reach the lost. Didn’t God meet you where you were at before you got saved and came to Christ? Brian’s heart and intentions are good, he’s not perfect, and neither are any of us, but he is obeying God and going out into the world to share the good news of Christ in the way God made him.
@@mtngirl6308 How is he obeying God? God says to "Abstain from ALL appearances of evil", is Brian doing that, while playing in a band where the lead singer hates Christians, blasphemes, sings about drugs and fornication, flashes "devil horns" is that your idea of preaching to the lost? Brian also lead kids at a concert in prayer as he told them to raise devil horns to the heavens, yeah, I saw the video, does that sound like something God would be happy about? God also says "Do not be unequally yoked" meaning a Christian has no business partnering with non Christians. God's word also says "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons." More of God's word, "Anyone who is a friend of the world is an enemy of God". How is Brian bringing people out of darkness with darkness? How is that even possible? Lastly, God didn't make Brian like that, Brian made himself like that.
@@mtngirl6308 As believers in Christ the bible is our authority, this means we need to prayerfully read & study it daily so that we won't lean on our own flawed understanding.
With that said, yes, God will reach us in the darkest places BUT once we've been delivered from evil we're instructed to have no parts of evil again lest we be like a dog returning to its own vomit as outlined in proverbs 26:11. We're to stay away from every appearance of evil as instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:22.
You say Brian's heart is good, the bible says "the heart is desperately wicked" Jeremiah 17:9. You say Brian's intentions are pure, but the bible warns, "there is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" Proverbs 14:12. You say he's not perfect and neither are none of us, the bible commands us to be perfect as our Father which is in heaven is perfect in
Matthew 5:48, and this is my point about STUDYING the bible.
The Hebrew word for "perfect" doesn't mean to be without sin or mistakes, it means to be complete. So in Genesis 6:9 we're told Noah was "...perfect in his generation..." it's not saying he's without sin, it's saying his obedience to God's standards, laws and commands was complete. I love this explanation, "The man who is perfect in the sight of God is the man who has reached the degree of development that Heaven expects of him at any given time."
Your last statement about him "...going out into the world sharing the good news of Christ..." reminds me of a warning Christ gave in Matthew 7:21-23. People may claim to be Christian but their fruits (actions) must show they are.
Please PRAYERFULLY begin reading and studying your bible asking the Holy Spirit to guide your studies so that you will know what the bible actually says so it will be clear when someone claims to be a Christian but their fruits are showing otherwise so you won't be deceived. Blessings.
Then WHY , BRIAN, are you going back to the vomit you came out of??? Jesus says ,come out and be no longer a partaker of the sins ,,,,,,Jesus says go and sin no more, ,,,,,,that’s not what you are doing now and you know it🤔
YOU don't know. God turned what was once Brian's playground into his mission field with a new God designed directive & purpose. He's now sowing into the lives of ppl who wouldn't ever step foot in a church YET. The Lord's not on the throne biting his nails about Brian's anointing & call God has placed on his life. I guess He forgot to tell YOU. Obviously you don't listen to Him often, you missed the personal memo yet chose to assume the worst. Lovely! Of course you're praying for the seeds sown in those gatherings right? Good on ya!
Pure Heretic
Religion is man made and doesn't make any logical sense. For example, when we say "Jesus says in his own words", we can't even find the words in the original language he spoke in and we think that the English language can make sense out of it. But it helps people in building up their lives out of negativity so it's all cool.
God would not lead you back to the world, so I'm not sure what he's doing back with the band. How does light have fellowship with darkness? If you are reading this Brian, this isn't trying to put you down, but correct you in love. Jesus was circled with Sinners, but was looking for conversion. You are simply laying back in bed with the World and now we see no true transformation.
Not cool Brian! That song has evil familiar spirits attached to it.
Some of You Are exactly the Reason why people turn from God... 🤪 worry about Yourself not what he's doing ...How many people have You reached? Is That fair? Why is He wrong ????
Geeze.
.c'mon.....
This is awful !!!!!!! Absolutely horrible. AC/DC Korn all of them hate God. This is church???? His testimony is worthless because he went back. Now he’s deceiving you. Wow…
As someone who used to listen to heavy metal...this is vexing and evil! Repent!
The Gospel of Matthew records Jesus' answer: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (22:37-39)
Matthew 7 :: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone
We can show our love for our enemies (Matthew 5:43-46). This can be the hardest, but the most rewarding for us. If we can love those who don’t love us, we show the opposite of their condemnation.
We can show our love for the needy (Galatians 2:10). Giving and showing love to the needy is doing it without expecting anything in return. Instead of condemning them and telling them they are in need because of their own actions, we demonstrate our love by meeting their physical needs and clearly communicating the Gospel of grace.
DO BETTER ANDREW GUERRA. Jesus wouldn't like this opinion you carry because it's opposite of his teaching and heart. This man is only human and is trying. Jesus' glory lives through him. He doesn't have to do this in a church to anyone who listens. He's living for Christ. Why do you judge him the way you do?
One day people will realize that the Christ state is established through meditation and their religion is a freaking con job for $.
Give it a rest would you.
Jesus hates religion.
Bad choice for Brian to play that riff at the beginning. Worse choice for the pastor to support it and not stop it. Regardless of your journey to Jesus, it’s still not okay to take part in unfruitful works of darkness. KoRn is still bad music. Catchy riffs, but horrible lyrics and message, and still very dark.
Delusional Christianity
Raymond: Jealous are you!?!
Well said Raymond.
This is not jealousy, this is called following God's word.
@@DarkGiratinaGirl666 jealous? Not in the slightest, he is reproving unfruitful works of darkness as commanded in Ephesians 5:11.
Thank you Raymond. Was looking for someone in the comments to call this what it is. God Bless brother. Stay strong in the coming days, it’s going to be brutal
God bless!
Lord Jesus Christ is King.
