ex-Korn member is all hugs and kisses

"I felt like hurting someone before, now I feel like hugging people," Brian Welch said.

As a lessor god in the pantheon of agro-rock world, this founding member of a band that calls its own music 'unsettling', Welch spent 13 years becoming more and more drug addled and depressed. He has now given up being angry and had himself baptized in the Jordan river, a-la Jesus and John the Baptist.
