Former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch told MTV.com that he cannot envision ever returning to the band that he co-founded thirteen years ago. Welch said, "If I went back, that would confuse my kid. I don't ever see myself going back. I'm not going to change. I finally was able to stand up for myself and quit being addicted to money. I don't want to pollute the world anymore. I want to spread a message of love and understanding, and that's what I'm going to do."
Welch officially departed from Korn last month, saying that he wanted to devote his life to Christianity and become a better role model for his 6-year-old daughter.
Welch plans to write and record as a solo artist and says his material will reflect his spirituality: "My music is going to have a Christian, spiritual edge to it, for sure...I have a song called 'Kry,' which I feel is like God talking to me. I mean, it's not heavy Christian music. It's just a reflection of how I feel now. It's about life experiences. It's happy, uplifting, fairy tale music."
The guitarist adds that, in addition to his own original tunes, he plans to record a cover of U2's "With Or Without You."
Welch says he wants to use any money he makes in the future from his music to "build skate parks for kids," and also plans to create his own reality TV show.
The guitarist was baptized on Saturday (March 5) in Israel's Jordan River, along with about 20 other newly converted Christians from the Valley Bible Fellowship in Bakersfield, California. According to the Bible, the Jordan is where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ.
