See more » From Publishers Weekly Welch starts his memoir with a bang: sex, drugs, rock n roll, and hitting bottom are all packed into his short prologue, launching the story of the rock stars rise, fall, and subsequent conversion to Christianity. Unfortunately, Welch, the former lead guitarist of the hardcore metal band Korn, never quite gets back to the punchy, dramatic style that so vividly sets in motion what could be a fascinating read, but at times is more like a casual chronology of eventsdespite his willingness to curse and his rocker tone. The books first section is a catalogue of teenage rebellion (tormenting his brother, watching horror flicks, smoking pot), yet somehow lacks drama, and Welch cant resist listing every single band he formed, played with, and left before finally making it with Korn. Its not until Welch tells of a visionary experience one that eventually leads him to Jesusthat this story gains momentum as a spiritual memoir. Fans of Noah Levine (Dharma Punx) may enjoy Welchs hard-core tone, though be warned: Welch is now hard-core on Jesus, and he hopes this story "might save a lot of people from going down the roads of destruction that [he] traveled on." Book Description In February 2005, more than 10,000 people in Bakersfield, California, watched as Brian "Head" Welchthe former lead guitarist of the controversial Numetal band Kornwas 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. Taking the reader backstage with Korn, Head tells the inside story of life in the band and how his rock star lifestyle resulted in an allconsuming addiction to methamphetamines. Head writes openly about the tour bus mayhem of Ozzfest and The Family Values tour, while providing a candid look at how the routine of recording and traveling 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 his addiction, nothingnot even the birth of his daughtercould spur him to kick meth for good. Here he 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. In addition, he discusses the chaotic end to his time in Korn, and how his newfound faith has changed his perspective on his past. Candid, compelling and inspirational, Save Me from Myself is a rock & roll journey unlike any other. See less »
