Brian "Head" Welch - Save Me From Myself Book Review

Tuesday July 22, 2008
When Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch announced in 2005 that he had found religion and was quitting the band, everyone was shocked. It blindsided his bandmates, and fans couldn't understand how someone could walk away from one of the most successful and financially lucrative bands in the world. There was a war of words in the press between Welch and frontman Jonathan Davis, and Welch took a barrage of criticism.

Last fall he got the chance to tell his story when Save Me From Myself was published. It's now available in trade paperback. After reading the book, it is crystal clear that Welch had two choices. He could stay in Korn and eventually die from his massive drug addiction, or he could quit and try to save his life. Welch chose life.

Callenish Circle is a Pitch.Black.Effects Review However, as of recent, metal is expanding vastly upon Europe like a disease, infesting the newer generation with it’s brutal music and the various messages they support.Although Callenish Circle broke up recently, they left quite a message with there last album, [Pitch.Black.Effects.]Ron and Muuk hold their own, playing the guitars well, hitting all the grooves setting the base of the music with the catchy rhythms and well placed solos.

I loved the book! I have always been a huge metal fan and a fan of Korn, but I applaude Head for taking the courage to leave and find himself again. Big up’s to you man!
