Brian "Head" Welch kicked off his new summer tour on Thursday night and I had a chance to catch up with him before the show. The tour, in support of his debut album, will be heading to Dallas on Tuesday night May 19th.

As many people who follow the rock world know, the band Korn re-energised the rock movement and influenced a lot of today's artists. In 2005 guitarist and co-founder Welch, after winning multiple Grammys and selling 30 million records worldwide did the unthinkable; he stepped away from it all. He resigned to raise his daughter and battle some personal demons. All which led him to a new light. He is now back with a smoking album and tour and for once, a driving purpose.

His new solo album, Save me from Myself, released in September 2008 and I asked Head if he was as excited now about touring as he was in the early days of his career with Korn. "It's more now and it's just different now. I was gone for so long and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I know I love music but I didn't know where I was going to end up. I tried to go out like three years ago and set stuff up, but it just didn't work, so now that it's here I am really excited."
