Fascinating transformation

Let me state upfront that I am a huge music fan, but not a Korn fan. Yes of course I know of them and have heard some of their songs, but it's not really my musical style. But I heard about Brian Welsh's sudden departure from the band, and when I saw this book, I couldn't resist picking it up.

"Save Me From Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs and Lived to Tell My Story" (240 pages) brings Brian's life story, from his humble beginnings in Bakersfield, CA to his eventual major rock star success as a member of the multi-platinum selling Korn. Brian Welsh describes his rock star days excesses (primarily drugs and a failed marriage) in detail, but more intriguingly for me as a music fan, how Korn came about and wrote the sings they became famous for. Yet his transformation into finding religion is of course even more fascinating, in the way that Welsh renounces the "rock star" life and evolves his life to being a good dad and his devotion to being a Christian.

In all, this is a great read. There is a companion book of sorts to this from Welsh (released the same day as this book), called "Washed By Blood" which is pretty much the same book as this, except that it provides "Discussion Questions" after each chapter, intended to stimulate further discussion among the readers.

Great book, very inspirational!

I read the book with very much enthusiasm. I really loved the parts where he told about his experiences with drugs and then with God. I, being a Korn fan, also had the pleasure of reading about the band's history, where they started from and where they turned up. Also the parts where he talks about his childhood are very interesting to read, about his first contact with drugs and how he got scared of drugs at first. It's a great book and a great read. Also, if you listened to Head's album, you might want to check the book out, since he writes about the songs on his album "Save me from myself".

Now I understand why he left.

I love Korn. I have loved Korn for the last 10+ years. When I heard that Head left Korn, I was dumbfounded. Then David went on hiatus. WTF! I wanted to know why. I bought this book last night and I cannot put it down. Head is sweet, sensitive and honest. Most Korn fans could look at him and see that there was something very wrong. He became very skinny and pale. He looked sick. He was. Now I understand why he left. This book is not about Korn or to talk about Korn. This book is about a guy I have known 1/3 of my life as Head and his fight to become clean and sober. He couldn't do it on his own...he had to ask for help from the one person that could help...God. This is inspirational and believeable. It makes you see that no matter how much money and stuff you do have, if you are empty inside, nothing else matters.

awsome book totally a recomendation for anyone who reads or is a korn fan

This is a very powerful read and Totally recommendation to any Korn fans or any readers in general I'm probably not the 1st one to say this but when I 1st heard about this book and read the 1st few pages on here I didn't feel good about it but after I read it all the way thought I finally realized how much the man really went through the isolation and everything else that went on thought his life give the man credit he put his life together and his book shows what the power of Jesus Christ really has I'M not just saying that a christian but as a man. PS anyone who trashes this book really didn't understand what he truly went through as a youth Give the man respect this book is totally worth reading.
