| - Guitarist Brian Phillip Welch was born June 19, 1970 in Torrance, California. He is better known by his nickname, %22Head%22. Welch met guitarists James Shaffer and Reginald Arvizu in highschool. With Arvizu he formed a band named “Pierct”. “Pierct” became “Toy” after a couple of line-up changes, amongst them the adding of Shaffer. After “Toy” split up Arvizu and Shaffer went on to form L.A.P.D. (4) with Richard Morill and David Silveria. Welch toured with L.A.P.D. and acted as their roadie. The band's name was then changed to %22Creep%22 and Welch was taken on as a full-time member. The band changed their name to Korn soon after and Morill was replaced with Jonathan Davis.Welch played lead guitar as well as singing backup vocals in Korn. Welch announced on February 22, 2005 that after 13 years Welch had parted ways with the band, citing that he had %22...chosen the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end%22. On March 10, 2005, Welch was baptized in the Jordan River with a group of believers hailing from Bakersfield, California. As of February 2005, Welch went on to perform as a solo-artist and released several EP’s and in 2008 the album %22Save Me From Myself%22. He formed a new band named %22Love And Death (2)%22 in 2012. In may 2013 he announced his return to Korn. Welch has a daughter, Jennea Marie Welch from his wife, Rebekah, which he divorced later on.Band HistoryL.A.P.D.

| - Brian Phillip Welch (born June 19, 1970), better known by the stage name Head, is an American musician best known as one of the guitarists and co-founder of the nu metal band Korn and his solo project Love and Death. Along with fellow Korn guitarist James %22Munky%22 Shaffer, Welch helped develop Korn's distinctive sound, a mix of sirenlike shards of dissonant guitar that mimicked a turntablist's various effects and rumbling down-tuned riffing, that defined the nu metal aesthetic beginning in the mid-'90s.After becoming a born again Christian, Welch left the band in 2005 to focus on life as a father and to pursue his own solo career. He released his debut Christian album Save Me from Myself, in 2008. He reunited with Korn on-stage at the Carolina Rebellion on May 5, 2012 for the first time in seven years, and on May 2, 2013, officially announced rejoining the band. Welch and Munky were ranked at No. 26 of Guitar World's 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time.
