NEW YORK (Billboard) -- Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has parted ways with the hard rock act, citing a recent religious awakening.

Welch broke the news Sunday on Bakersfield, California, station KRAB-FM.

"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 February 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.

What a ***. :joke:

He's comming back in a few months after taking a look at his bank account. Mark my words.

thats crazy! korn without head, i dont know if thats enough to make the whole thing fall apart but he was lead guitar and one of the most popular members. korn is not gonna be the same without head, some ****ty replacement is'nt gonna help matters

He's comming back in a few months after taking a look at his bank account. Mark my words.

korn is huge. i doubt he would ever have to earn another dollar for the rest of his life.

True, but they're far from being financial geniuses. I am willing to bet that after a few christians months and the lack of on the road ***** is gonna turn him back into the heathen we all love.

good thing he left now that the band sucks and are played out
it woulda really sucked had he done this when they were makin good music

gods tryin to break up band from the 90s
it has his MO all over it
his first victims were limp bizkit
when that weird guitarist left the band
later we saw metallica part way with their guitarist
and now korn
whos next?

thats right. limp bizkit's fans just did'nt seem to care after wez left, the same thing will probably happen here.

i believe it was bass player from metallica but i see your point

I hope Fred Durst finds God and stops making horrible music for the rest of his life.

Make it happen, Jesus

Now the rest of Korn should find Satan and start making good music again.

I think he heard how **** the band was and decided to turn to the Lord to attone for their musical sins. Now if only System of a Down and Slip Knot can find religion Kerrang TV wll be a better place :D

Lol :D

who cares about him or "korn"

I hope Fred Durst finds God and stops making horrible music for the rest of his life.

Make it happen, Jesus
Amen to that.

Is he giving back all the money? ;)

Is he giving back all the money? ;)
nah
he found god
he didnt lose his mind

nah
he found god
he didnt lose his mind

but it's "devil" money :D

but it's "devil" money :D
lol

but even god and his church would accept the "devil" money
maybe he'll just get it blessed

**** him korn sucked

WOW! What a trip..I sure never saw that coming! Good for him, I guess, long as he's truly happy

I agree...all of them have it made for life! ;)

a couple of years ago actor stephen baldwin ( i think that's his name ) turned to God and became a believer...it's cool, cause he was an ******* before and now he seems like less of an *******. he denounced all his movies ( threesome - especially this one for obvious reasons ) it was funny ****... i don't know what's gonna happen with Head, though, if anybody lived the rock and roll lifestyle (besides SoundTraveler ) it was him. i don't think he can change his life that much.

i've never seen Scare Tactics ( i live in canada, dude )...i think he meant shows like Jackass, but some people take themselves way too seriously

I know that all of the members used to live rock and roll lives..were real huzzies, matter of fact :D but now some, if not all, of them have gotten married and have a kid or two..I THINK?!? Maybe the settling down already began then?? :confused: Maybe not married exactly, but have ONE woman and a kid or two..I think Jonathon has..do you know if any of the others have?? Seems to me the one with the wild hair had a kid too??

he's gonna really have to change his life, less living for self, old Head's got some struglles ahead. i just hope he dosesn't become another ****ing judgemental hypocrite like so many others who go from one extreme to the other and forget where they came from. he's gotta be real about the whole thing, don't pretend u're **** don't stink, etc.

Blink 182 broke up

Blink 182 broke up

HEY! they suck also! :3some:

hmm, why does he feel he has to quit the bad to spend a little more time with Jesus?

i totally respect his decision. when Korn first started, you could tell the music was inspired by some pretty deep-seeded hatred. but the dude's right....how long can you truely hold on to those roots when you're living the utopian rockstar lifestyle for the last decade???

that's why korn's sounded so watered-down after the first couple albums. it stops being sincere.

Blink 182 broke up
they didnt break up
atleast not officialy
they just did some side projects
2 of the guys made nother band called boxcar racer
then when they release the album for that
thye also relleased a new one for blink
personally i like them
and both those album kick ass
of u havent heard them
u should

Blinks best album was Enema of the State. Quality.

Lol :D

Blink 182 broke up

Great, wonderful..you just peed on my parade! I remember that little side gig "boxcar racer" (I thought it sucked too, and sounded just like their other stuff anyway). If they are gonna suck so much, why not limit it to just one band?? :D :p

blink 182 is nothing but NOFX smothered with pop. travis is the only good about that band and, fortunately, the Transplants kick severe ass.
