Head Reunites w/ KoRn [stage side view] (Rock105)

(The following story is from BlabberMouth.net)

Ex-KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch rejoined his former bandmates on stage earlier tonight (Saturday, May 5) at the Carolina Rebellion festival at the legendary Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina to perform the band's classic song "Blind". This marked the first time in seven years that Welch and KORN played together.

Welch left KORN in 2005 to become a born-again Christian after years of hard drug and alcohol abuse while in the band.

Although Welch has a new band called LOVE AND DEATH, both he and KORN bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu have said that a reunion could be possible one day under the right conditions.

Welch was recently asked by Loudwire what he thought of the recent drama last month at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, where GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose refused to attend the ceremony and be inducted with his former bandmates. Welch — who left KORN seven years ago — replied that if KORN ever got nominated to the Hall, the situation would be very different.

Welch explained, "I've thought about that over the years and I'm friends with them now. I talk to them pretty regularly, so I don't think it would be a big deal for me to go and play a classic or two. I don't understand grown men who are close to 50 years old having issues like that. It just floors me that you can't at some degree, be civil. It's just beyond me. I don't understand that, but you know, everyone is different, I don't judge them. We all have our issues."

KORN will be eligible for induction into the Hall in 2019, 25 years after the 1994 release of the band's self-titled debut album.

Head announced on twitter 9hrs ago...HES BACK WITH KORN!!!

[Grievous1997]

He took his daughter to this festival to see Evanescence, and got into a conversation with Munky, who he hadn't seen in 7 years. The other guys came over and after more conversation, they said there was a guitar set up for him if he wanted. He agreed to do Blind as the set's end, and they've become friends again. Motive, reconciliation and reuniting with old friends.

ONE OF THE GREATEST SIGHTS EVER, ONLY THING BETTER IS THIS WITH DAVID BACK IN IT!

[jackiechan4AAR]

@Darth Krayt It wasn't planned, it was a last minute thing. A lot of bands were playing that night but he was there because his daughter's favorite bands were playing.

[Darth Krayt]

Not very respectful of Head. I'm curious about why he has come back? It was because of his faith that he left KoRn in the first place. I wonder if he has changed, or if there is some other motive for his return.
