"I thought I had everything... everything that you thought was life... Through the years... I found that it's nothing actually "Happiness comes from one place and that's the Lord
"I'm the real deal... people say 'Oh, you're just a baby Christian,' and stuff. I'm telling you just watch, watch in two years, five years, ten years... I'm on fire for the Lord. I'm not gonna lose it
Good for you! May God bless you. We have a marvelous God. Been a Christian for a number of years and I am, quite literally, still blown away by His love and when I consider that He really wants to speak with me and really desires a close relationship!
Stick with it. As Paul said, don't let anyone look down upon you because of your youth. Set the world on fire!
I'm definitely looking forward to hearing what music he cranks out next.
Help me out. Who is Brian Welch?
He was the lead in the heavy metal band Korn.
Lol.. I did'nt know either . here is a news article
Founding member of rock band Korn leaves to focus on religion
Associated Press
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A founding member of the Bakersfield multi-platinum band Korn is leaving the group to focus on his religious beliefs.
"Korn has parted ways with guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch, who has chosen Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end," read a statement posted this week on the band's Web site.
Welch told The Bakersfield Californian that his decision to leave Korn might be surprising to some.
"My old friend called today and said he was called up by another friend of mine who said, 'Who brainwashed Brian?'" Welch quipped. "Man, you guys don't even know ... A lot of people think I'm crazy. I don't care."
Welch said he was becoming increasingly disenchanted with himself as a Korn band member, producing heavy metal music that invoked dark and morbid images.
"Those guys in the band, they're not bad guys. They're just a bunch of kids getting marketed how these guys in the big corporate firms want to do," Welch said. "It makes us look like bad people, but we're really just a bunch of kids who never had a chance to grow up."
The band has been together for 13 years and is working on its eighth album, set for release in September. The group's self-titled 1994 debut sold more than 2 million copies.
Welch is scheduled to speak at church services this weekend at Valley Bible Fellowship in Bakersfield.
