The amazing true story of an out-of-control rock star, his
devastating addiction to drugs, and his miraculous redemption
through Jesus Christ.
In February 2005, more than ten thousand people in Bakersfield,
California, watched as Brian "Head" Welch-the former lead guitarist
of the controversial rock band Korn-was saved by Jesus Christ. The
event set off a media frenzy as observers from around the world
sought to understand what led this rock star out of the darkness
and into the light.
Now, in this courageous memoir, Head talks for the first time
about his shocking embrace of God and the tumultuous decade that
led him into the arms of Jesus Christ. Offering a backstage pass to
his time with Korn, Head tells the inside story of his years in the
band and explains how his rock star lifestyle resulted in an
all-consuming addiction to methamphetamines. Writing openly about
the tour bus mayhem of Ozzfest and The Family Values tour, he
provides a candid look at how the routine of recording, traveling,
and partying placed him in a cycle of addiction that he could not
break on his own.
Speaking honestly about his addiction, Head details his
struggles with the drug that ultimately led him to seek a higher
power. Despite his numerous attempts to free himself from meth,
nothing-not even the birth of his daughter-could spur him to kick
it for good. Here Head addresses how, with the help of God, he
emerged from his dangerous lifestyle and found a path that was not
only right for his daughter, it was right for him.
Discussing the chaotic end to his time in Korn and how his
newfound faith has influenced his relationship with his daughter,
his life, and his music, Head describes the challenging but
rewarding events of the last two years, exposing the truth about
how his moments of doubt and his hardships have only deepened his
faith.
Candid, compelling, and inspirational, Save Me from
Myself is a rock 'n' roll journey unlike any other.
