LPFreak64 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) This past Friday, April 20th 2012, during a Love and Death concert played at an event by The Whosoevers, Brain 'Head' Welch invited Elias Andra onto the stage. He announced that he had converted to Christianity in November 2011 and that he has officially left his band, Julien-K. I knew that he was on hiatus from touring, but now this confirms that he is finished with the band. Any thoughts?

HybridThe0ry97 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't see what his conversion had to do with this unless it was to a fundamentalist group of XN's or something...odd.

gorast Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Man, they're just taking hit after hit in JK, aren't they? First Brandon and now Elias. Of course Brian Welch is the one to get Elias to tell everyone, considering he did literally the same thing in 2005 with KoRn.

Op4blushift Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Man, they're just taking hit after hit in JK, aren't they? First Brandon and now Elias. Of course Brian Welch is the one to get Elias to tell everyone, considering he did literally the same thing in 2005 with KoRn. To be fair Elias and Brandon were more for the live show, with the studio work being mostly done by Ryan, Amir and Fu. But they were such a crucial part of the live show, Elias' awesome drumming (nothing against Frank, but I think Elias did a better job) and Brandon's backing vocals and keys (Fu is doing the keys fine, but practically all the backing vocals are just playback now, although I think Frank does sing along with them) Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/8456-elias-andra-speaks-about-leaving-julien-k/#findComment-160441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackChester Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Are you sure this is the right video?

LPFreak64 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Are you sure this is the right video? There's no 218 that's what I thought I see, seems like they have taken down Love & Death's performance, which was when this happened. I'm looking for a video of it now, but can't find one.

Dave-Stone55 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Can't say I saw this coming, I've always placed LP and Korn in the same category, but Julien-K and Korn? Kinda difficult to believe this...
