Read Brian “Head” Welch from Korn’s Tribute to Late Faith No More Singer Chuck Mosley
The members of Korn and I may strongly disagree on whether or not their music stinks, but we do agree on this: Faith No More is amazing.
To that end, Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch recently took to Instagram to write both a tribute to Chuck Mosley, the original Faith No More singer who passed away last week from “the disease of addiction” at age 57. Stuff about God aside, it seemed worth sharing. Read:
“I remember living in a tiny apartment in Burbank California living with most of the guys who would later form Korn. They were in their funk rock band called LAPD. I was just hanging out drinking beer trying to figure out life. They were so into the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Faith No More, and I wanted nothing to do with those bands. Little did I know that Faith No More would grow on me so much that it changed my whole outlook of what metal could sound like. I remember Fieldy waking the whole house up every single day singing the background vocals for the song ‘We Care A lot’ by Faith No More. Every morning he would scream ‘whoa whoa uh oh!’ Drove us all crazy but looking back now it’s a funny memory. Faith No More with Chuck Mosley were a huge part of our everyday lives back then. Guys, we need to learn from all this. We are losing too many people to the disease of addiction. It’s a plague that’s sending the angel of death to wipe so many of our people out and it’s got to stop! Please, get help with whatever you’re struggling with. Initiate conversations with the Lord everyday. Religious people make prayer out to be some holier than thou thing, but all it is, is talking to God like a friend. Face-to face. Heart-to heart. RIP Chuck Mosley, I’m so grateful that you and your family came to see us a couple months ago at our show ????????”
