" According to The Pulse Of Radio, ex-KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch was asked by Loudwire what he thought of the recent drama last weekend 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 bevery 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."
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.
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.
Meanwhile, KORN kicks off a new tour on Friday (April 20) in support of its 10th studio album, "The Path Of Totality"
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER: BART WILLIAMS OFFICIALLY OUT, MAX LAVELLE OFFICIALLY IN
So back in January, The Black Dahlia Murder did a European tour with former Despised Icon bassist Max Lavelle instead of their own Ryan “Bart” Williams. Fans naturally assumed Williams may have left the group, but guitarist Ryan Knight reassured them during an interview, “He’s still in the band, he’s just not touring with us at the moment.”
Then Vince and I saw BDM last week, and Lavelle was still in the band, leading us to wonder, “Uh, didn’t they say that Williams was, like, coming back and stuff?”
Well, it’s official: Bart Williams is not coming back, and Lavelle is now a full-time member of the band. Vocalist Trevor Strnad made the announcement from the stage during the band’s set at this past weekend’s New England Metal & Hardcore Festival; you can watch video of the announcement here.
And now is the de rigeur section of one of these “Everyone’s Replaceable” articles where I point out the obvious: yes, Williams is a talented bassist and performer, but he’s not a founding member of the band, and only had a few songwriting credits with them. Meanwhile, Vince and I were both really, really impressed with Lavelle’s performance last week. My point being that while I prefer not to diss Williams, I’m not especially worried about the future of The Black Dahlia Murder.
