    Brian is like the most chillled, humble guy you can imagine. And he really pays attention when he talks to someone.

    KoRn has been my favorite band for 30 years now so I know I'm biased when I say this, but Brian is such an awesome dude. Always love hearing from him so thanks for posting this.

    I'm so glad to be alive while koRn is still up and playing, although I wish I could've seen them when they first started out, they're still my favorite band to this day! I went and saw them live in the Tacoma Dome on october 10th with Gojira and Spiritbox, absolutely blew me away. I'm 15 years old and I'm planning on starting a band inspired from KoRn or in that range of music, wish me luck and happy 30th anniversary KoRn!!! 💝💝💝

      Me too & I'm 39!! My son was jamming out with me when he was little to Korn with me, so he is a Korn fan also & he's 21!! I love them they're my favorite band ever!! I've seen them in concert 4 times and I'd see them a million more if I could!! Even though the days where people were turning against them after Brian left & people were saying that their music was bad, I still stuck with them & went & seen them in concert & it was so awesome!! Jonathan came out with the bagpipes and it was in an arena where it echoed just right so it didn't get too loud, but it was just so awesome to see that live!! Jonathan has just such an awesome unique voice and this whole band has gotten me through some really rough times in the past also!! I love them & I'm so happy Brian came back and they're kicking a** still!! I am personally a fan of the songs that they mixed with the electronic music!! I'm a fan of both genres so that was especially a treat for me!! ❤❤❤

    It's no doubt that there is a whole new generation discovering Korn, sparking the rediscovery of the generation that grew up listening to them except it's even bigger now.....we grew up and can now connect all of the elements of their music including the lyrics.
    There's that emotional factor that automatically fills your body and soul and that has not been recreated. I think a really cool factor in having been a part of the days when korn was heavily addicted to hard drugs is seeing them NOW - Brian as a believer in Christ, Jonathon living his best life being in love and has 2 sons, who get the chance to have a clean Dad who continues to inspire them and motivates them in whatever they love doing. And they are STILL playing that same music today and I have a feeling it still gives them such satisfaction. Although they were on drugs, and sick and going through some heavy stuff, they composed and created music for healing, not to glorify what they were doing but as a way to channel the core reasons they were suffering. ❤ ps. i know I typed this with a bunch of run on sentences and bad grammer LOL

I used to hate fred durst and I see stuff with him now and I'm like damn that dude's totally different than what I thought and everything he did back in the day was basically just to put on a show, it wasn't even who he was.

    Head... You were and still are my idol. Holy shit did I try to emulate you as an 18 year old when you guys came out in 95 and absolutely DESTROYED every band in the scene.
    There was no one back then that could hold up under the onslaught of Ball Tongue or Predictable or Shoots and Ladders. I've seen you guys 5 times but the last show I saw you at was Woodstock 99. Which was an amazing yet AWFUL experience... Kind of like you that night. I could tell you were off and the guys next to me could tell the energy wasn't matching. You still killed it.. but Rebecca and meth ruined the time of your life. I'm a lot like you when I'm not trying to be. I'll always relate to that night. And to see you happy makes me happy. I'm a believer in the kingdom of the God the Father and his Son. I call Jesus NAILS. Because he was tough and doesn't get the credit because he was not the Father and had to be the humble and the redeemer... Not the Alpha Omega who dispenses Devine punishment.
    The people at Woodstock who raped and robbed and you know who you are... Will be judged.
    Sorry I got off topic!
    I love you guys you saved me before I knew anything other than anger and sadness. You gave me savagery.
    Btw your first 5 Albums are all fucking masterpiece status but here they are in order of HOLYSHITHOW.. ARE THEY THIS GOOD?!?
    1. KORN
    2.ISSUES
    3.LIFE IS PEACHY
    4.UNTOUCHABLES
    5.FOLLOW THE LEADER.
    that's my 2 cents Brian HEAD Welch.
    Thanks for being awesome.

      @pistonhedd so an 8 string would pretty much put me on the floor compared to Head 😂? The way Head had looked on stage back in the day, bent in half, was because that was the only way he could stretch his fingers to play the notes. And it created their trademark presence on stage 😂.

    The road to recognition is no longer about raw talent but navigating a noisy over saturated digital landscape, and having rich/ well off parents- you aren't it if your gear isn't pricey. Tons of extremely talented kids with insane momentum are stopped dead in their tracks because they don't have a $5000 amp or a 8 string baritone fan fretted guitar with the latest fashion trends. Metal was about music now it's just a fashion statement. Why it all sounds the same, everyone's using the same safe formula.
