HEAD'S RESPONSE TO MUNKY

"I recently learned of an interview that Munky gave where he said that I came to KoRn and asked to be taken back in the band. That's definitely not a complete and accurate picture. The full truth is that for about a year, ever since Jonathan publicly said he wanted me back in KoRn, KoRn's managers have been requesting my manager to work on getting me back into KoRn. The calls were initiated by KoRn's managers, not my manager. I shut the door on their requests many, many times over the last several months, through my manager. However, Fieldy personally called me during Korn's last tour in Europe and we talked as friends for a lone time. He also told me if I ever wanted to rejoin KoRn, or open for KoRn as a solo artist, the door was always open. Since Fieldy is sober now and a christian like me, I thought it may be a good idea to visit with Fieldy, a friend of mine, to see what he was up to and what it was all about. I had a great time re-connecting with Fieldy. I mainly went to his house to connect with an old friend. The KoRn stuff we talked about was secondary, but It was discussed. Fieldy thought that Jonathan, Munky, and I should all meet AS FRIENDS; re-connect; and maybe discuss the possibilities. Both Jonathan and Munky refused that meeting. I learned a lot visiting with fieldy. I learned that I love and miss my friends, but the visit confirmed to me that I have a different calling in life than to reconnect musically/professionally.

As far as Munky's comment that "everything has been divided already" that is also not accurate. In fact, from January 2005 when I left, and for the next 4 years, KoRn failed to pay to me royalties that were due me on records that I did with them. However, I don't believe this was done intentionally. We are trying to be patient and work with their management to get the financial issues resolved so that "everything can be divided as we agreed long ago in our contracts." I am optimistic that we can resolve it as friends.

I continue to wish nothing but the best for KoRn, and that includes all of my friends there--Fieldy, Jonathan and Munky.

Bass autographed by Cheng, Marcus Miller, Mike Dirnt, Geddy Lee and others to benefit stricken bassist in comatose/semi-conscious state after 2008 automobile accident

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (August 26, 2009) ­ An autographed Fender bass guitar will be auctioned off to benefit Deftones bassist Chi Cheng. Cheng has been in a comatose/semi-conscious state since he was in a Nov. 4, 2008, automobile accident in Santa Clara, Calif.

AUCTION LINK

A website has been created by Gina Blackmore to help raise awareness and much-needed funds for Cheng and his family. Interested bidders are urged to visit www.oneloveforchi.com for more information.

The 2001 Fender Precision Bass guitar up for auction was autographed by several prominent bassists in 2001 as part of the model¹s 50th anniversary celebration. Further, it was the campaign¹s central instrument and was featured in several catalogs and advertisements (which will be included with the bass when it is auctioned off). Over several years, it was signed by noted bassists including Victor Bailey, Phil Chen, Chi Cheng, Mike Dirnt, Reggie Hamilton, Stu Hamm, Sean Hurley, Hutch Hutchinson, Alfonso Johnson, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Ray Riendeau and Danny White.

STATEMENT REGARDING THE CANCELLATION OF BRIAN "HEAD" WELCH SHOW

Brian "Head" Welch became ill during the past few days, cutting short his August 19 concert in Modesto, CA. As he feels it would be unfair to his fans to appear less than 100%, he will be unable to complete this week's dates. Head wants everyone to know that he'll be fine and just needs to recuperate. His goal is to be well enough to perform at the August 27 Tucson and August 29 Las Vegas shows.

MUSIC VIDEO CONTROVERSY:

HEAD’S RESPONSE TO VIDEO CONTROVERSY,

CD BEING PULLED OFF OF SHELVES AT SOME RETAILERS,

AND OPEN CHALLENGE TO CONSERVATIVES

I have received a handful of messages from some conservative people complaining about the sex and drug references in my new music video for FLUSH; and, I have recently learned that some select retailers are pulling my CD from their shelves because of my music video’s content. So, I wanted to give an explanation of what the video means to me; and to address those select retailers that are pulling the CD from their shelves:

The video for FLUSH is about Crystal Meth addiction and the crazy things anyone addicted to Meth will do while they’re high or to get their fix. Everything the models were doing in the video is what I was wrapped up in while I was addicted to Meth. The video is a very realistic look at the addiction and where it will lead you if you get hooked. I understand the images of the models may be too much for some people, but honestly, I was just trying to be real with what happened in my life and show where I was, as well as where I am at now.
