Fieldy was already acquainted with the guitar from a very early age. His father used to play in a band with Rick Davis, Jonathan's father. So Fieldy and Jonathan were quite familiar with each other. Fieldy also used to bully Jonathan, "I'd run him down with my three-wheeler," Fieldy adds.
Fieldy's worst job included being employed as a door to door Plant Salesman. "I did good the first day, I was like 'Yeah! I got this down'. I went to my Mom's house and everybody we knew, and sold to them. The next day, I didn't sell shit. It sucked. I got fired".

James "Munky" Shaffer
Real name : James ShafferDOB : 06/06/70
Lives(d) : Rosedale, California
His career started from an accident, in which, the top of his finger was cut off by a biking incident. He was sneaking out to a party one evening and the chain slipped off his bike. To stop any adverse noise, James quickly slapped his hand on the chain, his finger was caught, and the top was cut off.
During the High-School years, James became friends with a guy, who went by the name of Brian Welch. Who wasn't only a friend but also, a fellow guitarist. It seemed enviable that James and Brian were destined to be in a band together and L.A.P.D proved that. With James originally joining the band full-time and Brian joining the fold later for touring duties. L.A.P.D also sported two other Korn members, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (Bass) and David Silveria (Drums).

Brain "Head" Welch
During his school years, Brian befriended a young man called James Schaffer. With Brian being a budding guitarist, he and James would have a friendly competition with each other.
Brian left home at the age of 17 and became employed in two jobs. During the day, Brian would deliver furniture, and at night, he would deliver pizzas. He also used to work in the L.A Recording Workshop, and would learn sound engineering, but he found it boring and left.
As time rolled by, Brian joined Ragtime, a band which were formed before L.A.P.D. Ragtime also played host to such luminaries as Fieldy and ex-L.A.P.D front-man, Richard Moral. Ragtime would later split. Fieldy and Richard Moral would later form L.A.P.D with James Schaffer joining them on guitar. Brian would often hang out with L.A.P.D. "He'd hang around and drink all our beer," James states. L.A.P.D were shortly to go on tour and the band decided that they needed a second guitarist. Enter Brian Welch. Brian and James have been playing together for more than two-thirds of their lives.
Where he lives with his wife, Rebecca Welch and his daughter, Jennea Marie Welch, who was born on July 6, 1998.
Brian's nickname stems from the size of his cranium. "I got a big head," He says "Go get me any hat, and it won't fit." He adds.
