I’ve been an addict for almost twenty years. Get clean then dive back in. I left Christ behind because it didn’t fit with my addictions inside. Hearing Brian’s testimony makes me want to go to church again. Thank you Brian
i LOVE YOU MAN! My makeshift savior always left me in my chains. Because of Jesus I have never been so free. You need to feed the right part of you. Feed that spirit brother!
God bless you. He can calm the storm inside of all of us. ❤🙏
Read his first book "Save me from myself". I read it in 2007 not long after returning from Iraq (for the 2d time). It is a really cool story.
I really hope you do. God bless you. ❤️
@RavensMoon, It has been about a year since your comment. How are you doing today? Have you put your addictions in the past? Have you let Jesus come into your heart and guide your life?
So sad he thought he was so ugly......he is literally GORGEOUS
Yep.
i remember being on meth and listening to korn, i was distressed and worried and my friend told me brian welch became christian
it helped me at that time, i must say people’s testimonies are powerful and always helpful as a christian to speak on
every christians testimony is amazing
thank God for Jesus
btw i’ve been clean a long time now
I still need help, nice story
Ian Lee what are you on?
Where's Ian?
Awesome Praise God ! for you and your salvation and staying free and getting closer to the love your /our father has for you/us ! Xo
Sure thing, crackhead
He's thinking on a way deeper level than people could even fathom
Saw KORN front row 2 weeks ago... and Brian you have a Light around you brother
from one former drug addict to another .. God bless you for coming to your senses
I saw them a few times recently they are still amazing live. I have been a huge fan since around 1996. They were that band for us kids in the 90s who were in High School who didn't necessarily fit in with the rest of the world. Much like the band RUSH was for kids in the 70s and 80s.
3:38 "the bullies I had reminding me of every flaw I had...". THIS. How many have deep abiding wounds from this, beginning with family, then friends and peers? It helps me to hear him. My wounds are sooooo deep. I was a beautiful, sweet, pure, innocent child. Yet all my family saw was someone stupid and ugly and it's still engraved in me. And self hate covers it like slime.
It is absolutely dreadful to struggle with depression - you might have it all, but there is no way out of the demons in your brain. PLease people do not judge him for the horrible decision that he took.
Hes so beautiful inside and out but I can relate to the self hatred as i have felt like that a majority of my life and Brian's right you can waste years being unhappy within yourself and it can take years to undo the damage words can hurt x Brian's such a humble inspiration xx
Brian your eyes are deep deep pools of the Love of God. . Praise God. . . . get ready this wild ride has just begun. . . so many souls. . in the metal scene . . . need to come into the light. .
Красивые глаза зеленого цвета, незнаю зачем прячет их под очками, всегда думала он недалёкий оказалось наоборот, все качества есть которые нравятся женщинам, достоинство, очень подвязный язык, очень умные слова, заботливый отец, хороший друг и просто мужчина мечты, да он с дредами и татуировками, но зато душа есть и сердце внутри!)
even if you deny it the battle between good and evil exists within all of us, this is what it looks like when you allow the good to win.
There is a battle within all of us I truly believe that.
✝️ 😇 🌈 🕊
I have so much respect for this man. Brian thank you for you words, thank you for you time. Glad your here with us today.
Big Korn fan since 94, full respect to you head , your awsome
i may not be religious, but i think brian is the perfect example of the positive side of it all. he helped me at least open up to the idea of religion. love you, head
What an awesome interview. Head is so honest and has so much compassion.
I can't get enough of Brian's story!! What an inspiration! The documentary was fantastic. I highly recommend it. I've been enjoying all the interviews too.
I have followed Brian’s journey or started to after I encountered the Holy Spirit and have had a similar experience spiritually changing. As much as I love music and know it , I’d never really listened to Korn . I just saw a video of him talking about his experience with the Holy Spirit on a day that i wanted to give up going through changes after Encountering God and feeling odd and alone . His description of God and the relationship with Christ is what I know him to be , So following his journey is an anchor or has been through close to 6 years of being set apart and healed with him alone. It’s a beautiful blessing this video popped up today at the beginning of a new life coming out of this dark knight of the soul. The Holy Spirit is so strategic and an amazing divine guide. The love of God is like nothing I’ve ever known or experienced. It’s a supernatural teacher . So grateful for people like Brian that tell the truth of what he went through and doesn’t hold back on his speaking about his supernatural experience with God . It’s not religion, it’s a relationship. Thank you and Bod bless you and your beautiful daughter Brian Welch. 🌈🌈🌈🙏
Wait till the meth wears off. He already tried to drink alcohol again. Plus the music he creates is responsible for a new generation of lost drug fueled kids by which he profits. Total hypocrisy...
@Sheridan Isashitstain Nice loophole. I'm not throwing rocks, I'm saving people from a complete mass delusion. OUR eyes should be fixed on the Sun/Light of "god", not blind in "faith" to fairy tales...
Kim Partee
How did you find the Holy Spirit??
@@carlostejada1479 The "Spirit" animator of ALL that LIVES is the Sun/Light. All others are deception...
@Sheridan Isashitstain The "holy spirit" is that which sustains and animates US ALL, and that is the great ORB around which this planet rotates by attraction, the Sun/Light. That's "god" in EVERY sense. Everything else is man made BS, that's how isis gets people to blow themselves up, believing in "heavens" and worlds away from REALITY!
show love here, don't diss um no one know how close they are, BE POSITIVE FOR THEM : )
I'm happy for Brian welch his story is a isperation to anyone who had a dark patch in their life.
You have always been my favorite Brian, even more so now!
Laura, you ask GREAT questions. . . you are awesome ! Thanks ! XO
Love him..real and I am glad he is doing better.
Great interview great questions thank u for asking the right questions
Very inspirational. Brian Welch comes across as a calm and peaceful guy, who has overcome so many things through surrender. As he said, "it's supernatural!"
I love listen to his stories. They help me so much
He is such a lovely person.....amazing what he recovered from and is good and healthy today
I met Head in '95 in DC at their DC show at the Black Cat. He talked to my buddy and I for awhile. Very cool guy
Why I never grew up to be a rock star - I knew I would never survive what you did. RESPECT that you came through. The messages needed to get out - too many people needed to hear it. Displaying my open wounds like that I knew I couldn't display , I was far better at listening to the unheard, seeing the unseen, repecting the dismissed. I am so glad you were that strong.😇Never, ever be anything but proud at your contributions to humanity.
well done Brian, this is how it works in my experience. shine the light :)
love this, brian welch is one of the most influential musicians in the world, im so glad hes told the story about his faith and how he decided to turn his life around, the best part is when he talks about his daughter and how it changed his life, as a diehard korn fan, god bless you brian and thank you for sharing this story with the world
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15

Amen! Love this
I needed this testimony right now ty
This is a great interview, the interview asked some awesome questions.
Best interview!!
I met head in Florida and he is a grounded man. I have a lot of respect for him.
Great video. He is extremely insightful. God gives you eyes to truly see.
Thank God he got saved!
He's not trust me, if he were he'd bail on being a rock star and be out Co-Creating Paradise on Earth for all. Instead he writes depressing music for alienated white males...
@@nunativs I see you've taken it upon yourself to be the judge. Good work NuNativs. Time to take a long hard look in the mirror because it's people like you who absolutely destroy the message of Jesus, to whom EVERY knee bows. Not just a group. Not just those who do and say all the right things. EVERY knee. The reason you won't accept that is because you enjoy the power of your exclusivity.
@@VelcroKittie WE bow to the Sun/Light, that's an OBVIOUS fact. Every animal, tree, ocean and ALL LIFE, knows this. What you are describing is ARGUABLE phenomenon. The TRUTH is hidden right in front of OUR faces for all to SEE (Light). Meanwhile Brian is profiting off of people being in DARKNESS, Literally! Where is "jesus" during all the mass shootings if "he" is so powerful?
@Michael Evans That's the product of ingesting VIOLENCE/MEAT. As within, so without...
@Michael Evans How about stop creating NEGATIVE metal music for alienated white males, and go out and start creating GLOBAL Permaculture Paradise for ALL and renew EDEN?!?
Wow , i just got that gods love feeling overcome my body while watching this !
great interview
Great interview 👏💕
You are drop dead gorgeous head.... inside and out... much love Brian💐
So inspiring. I just became to know Brian searching for some Christian videos(sorry I'm not a big fan of metal music). I started to go to church at 5yrs old and have kept my faith in God most of my years since then, but Brian's story on God is so inspiring and fulfilling my thirst for God.
He felt exactly like I do! I love Brian 💜🤘
Thank you Laura ... for putting this together - asking the right Q ... to understand Brian & the awesome journey he is on, with Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST.
Love this so much!! Such an amazing testimony!! God is so so good!!
Those are really great questions!
this girl is a really good interviewer... which is so rare to seeeeee!! she's such a natural lol
This is how you interview someone. Perfect.
Can relate- highly to the self-hatred and self-loathing constantly.
Erin Degel you are beautiful
Thank you. Very kind of you to say so
😞 I understand
We have to re-learn to love ourselves.
Love and light Erin!!!!
So powerful.
Thank You
He is so intelligent!
lol
Brian so gorgeous and beautiful! His inspirational! His music help me my problems with mental health!! 😍😊
How did you survive the loneliness? Thank God you did. I think writing your own music was a key - the resonating release of the music with the words. It speaks to the unvoiced. I cry just to hear you say it. And so thankful for you. ✨✨
This is a wonderful miracle of God ! Would never think the revival starting with young people would come from this group! But they have so much influence with our children ! Of course ! Love these kids ! They have no idea the good they can do ! They will lead Gods end time plan to save our kids !!! Miracle !
Amazing
Further testament that God saves, well done to you sir.
Brian Welch and hope 103...thank you.
Our pastor at Real Life Church in Valencia, ca,interviewed Brian on video as well, for part of one of the services....it was inspired.
...the link for the "full story"..is various different links/video's/interviews...not one full extended interview.
So Beautiful
Think I’m ugly and the drinking makes my mind not think about it anymore, having someone get to close fearing that they will realize how ugly looking I am- I feel that!!!
His music Is so powerful and helpful for suffering souls than he does not need to preach the work is done .. a lot of people went through thanks to Korn ´S music ..
I was a heroine addict partying my head off for 11 years, lost everything that mattered to me including my heartbeat and for a few minutes my life, but God ripped me out as suddenly as a big lifeguard pulling me out the water but as gently as a father who found the son he lost. There was no denying God’s intervention in my life to all who knew me but in recent years monotony and the struggle to be relevant as a believer in a modern, digital world as well as the pettiness and detachment of many churches to the real world has lead me to a very numb place spiritually and it feels like a bigger threat to my eternal state than all my parting and drugging ever did. I feel like I need a monster truck builder to pull me into a church quick. It’s one thing to know without a doubt that God is real and knows me, it’s another thing completely to maintain a relationship with Him especially given a strained relationship with my earthly dad, an amazing man but never understood me nor I him.
I feel the things he says. I understand him. And share his love for Christ even when I like hard rock music.
Brian you are truly an insporation in my life .. Growing up in bands my whole life and being a full blown meth addict myself a band mate father husband and loosing everything .. i truly relate to you in so many ways .. I have been clean for 2 years but I still battle with faith and you seem to help with that alot. Im so happy your back with my favorite band since i was a kid.. KoRn is and has always been a big part of my life and has helped me through so many tough times in my life.. I will see you guys live for the first time July 26th 2019 in Nashville. If i never meet you bro i want you to know how much love i have for you and how much you have gave me light in my life. Much love to you and koRn .. @BrianWelch
i agree 100% with what he was saying. I had 3 yrs clean time, i have crohns & had 3 abdominl surgeries & now i cant stop chewing my fentanyl patches i feel sick, like i deserve this for the hell of crohns surgeries, but also wish i could get clean again. i miss layne staley
can remember seeing a black tee shirt in a store many many years ago with Brian's face on it and name of the band. I actually felt scared for a minute than prayed over the shirt know that sounds crazy. God set Brian FREE see a lot of LIGHT in him now for years. Great honest testimony!Thank-You Jesus & Amen
You should check out KoRns music it's amazing. It was a lifesaver for me as a teenager during the 1990s.
Props to the interviewer. Good job
I wasn't supposed to have kids. Was told at 12 I never would. When my miracle came he changed me too. I can't stand when people don't care about their kids. Get them taken away or kill them. Kids are gifts. They should be appreciated no matter what.
I’ve been a Christian for 17 years and grew up with my grandparents. So I assumed that all Christian music was just hymns and stuff. But I really like heavy metal. So through listening to that stuff (mostly avenged sevenfold), I fell away from Christ. But almost a decade ago I was having seizures and He spoke to me. I was introduced to contemporary Christian music. Then within the past couple of weeks, a friend had me listen to some Christian metal bands. So my musical tastes have come full circle, but are now on the other side.
take a listen to The Chariot, my mans.
Check out a channel right here on youtube called METAL-CROSS
Chritianity is fake, it was made for peopole to stop protesting in the middle ages because the king aaid god made rules, so everyone belived it. And churches were made because they made millions, peopole were dumb enough to give their money to person that had no proof of ever existing. So christianity was for power and tricked everyone to be good and go to heaven
Daily Sandwich Sorry dude/dudette , but there is archeological evidence that backs up the birth of Christ, the travels , the biblical sites, & alot of GOD's word! So pretty much he existed, & still does to this day!!!
@@angelicinspirations8354 yes he christ was a person. But he was just verry influential. But that he was gods son is a lie.
Using gods as a way for power is a common thing in history. Its happend plenty of times and still in some places and ways does
God is love. Love is God. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). The Word is the key to our lives, but testimony has a power which we as humans must share with one another whether of faith or not. In those times when I need reminding of that fact, Brian's story inspires me. Thank you.
Been a Korn fan since the first album and a Christian. I'm glad to see a band member from one of my favorite bands come to Christ because all the other bands I admired had tragedy hit them because they never knew Christ.
I’m gonna meet him in 2 days !!
Johanna Dyer howd it go
What?! How???
Amen!!!
God bless him and his family and followers. Christ is the power and glory. Believe!!
"I wish I were in Kansas"....(Repeat ad infinitum).
God bless Brian Welch his testimony has changed my life and my walk with god. I think he's very attractive too! Lol
God bless anyone reading this. It's tough right now, but we can stick together and not be alone.
I personally dont believe in God but the way he talks about his faith really touches my heart.
Interviewer was great
I totally get that...it was just innate in me. I was always, since I was like9, was just drawn to that dark, “cool”, drunken, hysterical rockstar lifestyle. I do not know why. I had two dreams when I was young. I was on one side of a pond and the devil was on the other and we just looked at each other. He was just patiently waiting for me.
I accepted the Lord at 12 years old out of Fear for the future I knew I would soon face. When I accepted the Lord at Church that day the Pressure of all my Fears were gone and I felt from then on the Peace and Presence of the Holy Spirit. I am 62 years old now. I am still a sinner who Christ through the Holy Spirit still sustains for reasons I do not understand. I am Eternally Grateful for all his Blessings. The Holy Spirit is Undeniable Proof of God's existence. Praise God ! God continue to Bless Brian Welch and his Loved ones!
I like that he defies the metal head stereotypes. I don't agree with his theology, but he is brave enough to be true to himself. That is SO metal!!
"That is SO metal!!" 🤣🤣
Where do we get to watch this in the uk
♥️♥️♥️
I've had my fun with all that minus the stardom . It's over and has been over for over 20 years. Life really didn't change much just lost every friend I had . Still don't have any . My Washburn is my best friend.
He looks like Jesus, a cool Jesus
What’s interesting is that is nickname is head. God was calling him before he even made him, divine calling.
“goth jesus”
Jesus is cool so cool way cooler than u could ever imagine
Yes I say that too!! He looks like Jesus!
Love it 🌋🌋🌋🌋❤️❤️🐻👊🏾👊🏾♐️♐️♐️♐️
The CHOSEN! The story of Jesus from a modern day view. Life changing and amazing. Crowd funded and raised millions... beautiful story. I messaged you on Instagram about this!
I love real faith like this. Those who see the dark and are saved by the light and love of Christ💜🙏
I just meet head today at the skate park
I'm jealous. I have been a huge fan and have been buying their merch and CD's since 1996. I would die for that opportunity.
Luke 5:32 (KJV) I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Numbers 15 32-36
"What shall we do with this man picking up sticks on the Sabbath? God said STONE HIM TO DEATH
this is what you worship?
@@Jyotinanda108 it's from old testament and you must know what happened in those days. Jesus already told you in new testement "Matthew 5:17 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Dont read the Bible your own lust, read it with Holy Spirit. Godblessyou
@not nice James 5:16 (KJV) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
@@kapalatiktok2782 ehhhhhh? Jesus pretty much oks the old testament b.s.. Not one jot or tittle to be changed. How can I read stoning a man to death in any other way other than it's barbaric and disgusting, in any time in human history. How is reading Leviticus "in the holy spirit" going to change its meaning?
@@Jyotinanda108 learn the Holy Spirit 1st then you know the meaning.. ask Jesus to lead your way while reading the Bible, God blee you..😘
God is amazing...shows up everywhere....
God haha you are your own god love
Especially in smut shops.
He isn't former. He still is. New album this fall.
Some time I can not take this place
Brian 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚U
Drank like a fish from 20 to 25, literally a gallon a day. Went to jail and was asked by a nurse how I was "still alive" because of my consumption. She recommended I read his book while in the jail. "Save Me From Myself" changed my life. Thank you Mr. Welch!
You should check out KoRns music it's amazing. It was a lifesaver for me as a teenager during the 1990s.
So the moral is , not to be selfish, and do not abuse on drugs and all the things that can harm you or the people around you. If you want something in life , you can do it and you will get it and even more. But you need a wakeup call, either from a friend , a brother or sister, or God in this case. I am not a beliver, i will probably never be one, untill i can see it with my own eyes, but i am not againsts the belief of others. We all need something to belive in to keep us going , to keep us fighting. Life is hard, and can get harder sometimes. Good for Head that he made it , and now he is on a better path, i am happy for him. And appreciate the music he does and Korn as a band, i love them.!
Don't worry about being a believer Artur. Just know God believes in you, and take it from there bro. Your post shows more elements of Christ than a load of posts on here from Christians - and they're the ones reaffirming that you're not a believer. So I say 'Don't be one' but he's already in you so just enjoy it with a smile
@@VelcroKittie Thank you for taking the time to reply. This message is pleasant to see. I am glad that the reply to my comment is actually a nice message, not one of hate but one of guidance. It made me feel a lot better reading this. Thank you for these words :)
damn, he's 49? he looks like he could be 30 or something
It's the scot and Irish genes i think. People think i am barely above 18. I get carded all the time and I will be 34 in May. It's gotta be the genes. In his book he said he's part scot.
@@WillBlindYouWithLight I’m part Scottish too and I’m 42 and people seem to think I’m in my twenties.
When i get home ill just chill on the coke
I was such a spiritual kid, then suddenly teenage and early 20s life took me on a different path. I don't agree with organised religion, but I do agree with the golden rule. I live my life by it. At the moment, though, I feel like I'm assembling my life as I would a piece of IKEA furniture. I think i know how it goes together, but without the manual I'm not sure.
I relate to his experience of Christ. It’s amazing that God qualifies the unqualified. That’s myself too, after what I walked out of.
I'm still not totally sure how he plays some of those KoRn songs every night ("All Day I Dream About Sex", "Dead Bodies Everywhere", etc.) and can still be a Christian... I suppose it's that he's testifying in the place of darkness... or something like that. I'm proud of Head.
Who cares? You guys would have called Jesus out for hanging with prostitutes. You seriously have to stop trying to work things out based on how you think a person should be. Move outside the bubble of church and be with others who you have been told to stay away from and I guarantee you that you will look back and see that some of the darkest of darkness is actually within the church
@@VelcroKittie He wasn't hanging out with the prostitutes bro!. Jesus was touching their life so they won't go back to be prostitute anymore. You're getting it twisted. Korn ain't touching lives.
@@osarumenerhunmwunsee Wow, you are so dead wrong. Korn has got some people through the hardest times. People full of anger, depression, hate, people who were abused or on drugs. These guys have saved tons of lives and even motivated people to play music, stay positive, connect with other positive people and even become religious and close to God. Not many bands can say that. What a false statement you just made......
