Head Explains Why He Left Korn
Guitar World caught up with Brian ‘Head’ Welch and asked him what triggered his decision to quit Korn. “When I started playing in Korn, I began drifting downward spiritually. I became addicted to drugs like methamphetamine,” he revealed. “I became rich and famous, although I never thought of myself as a rock star or as being bigger and better than anyone. I loved music, but I found myself at the point where I wanted to die. I didn’t care about life. I think I hit the bottom when my wife left me while I was on the road. She started partying, bailed out with some dudes, and took my money and left me with our daughter. Then I had to take my daughter on the road with me. The band agreed to pay my daughter a dollar every time someone cussed in front of her. Before I knew it, my daughter was making, like, $100 a day, and I told people to try to chill in front of her. She was getting excited about making all this money, and it wasn’t working. I had to put my kid before my career and all the money I was making. I decided to do the right thing. I was dying inside. If I didn’t have my daughter, I would be dead right now, for sure.” Read more.
