Metal band frontman jailed for manslaughter on Euro tour
1 hr ago
Randy Blythe, the frontman for metal band Lamb of God, has been arrested in Prague, charged with manslaughter for the death of a fan in 2010. The last time the band played the Czech capital, a fan reportedly rushed the stage repeatedly and was either struck by a microphone or pushed backwards and fell (depending on whose recollection is correct). The unnamed man later died from his head injuries. A spokesman for the band — whose songs include the always catchy "Now You've Got Something to Die For" and "Walk With Me in Hell" — says an official statement will be released on Monday. The band itself hasn't spoken, save for tweeting "#FreeRandyBlythe" last night.

Don't know much more or about the band too much. But I thought this would be news worthy!

Randy is notorious for having the most violent shows with Lamb of God..

He's banned from telling the fans to do a circle pit or a wall of death. But the way they did this was utter bullshit :/.

Sounds like an accident... Other musicians push fans off stage all the time (Angus of AC/DC comes down and conks them on the nose, lol). This time it just went wrong. It's not like those crazy Norwegian black metal guys who actually murder people (usually each other).

And BTW Beedz, I think Lamb Of God are supposed to be Christian.

This just seems like some sort of misunderstanding. Did he JUST die? Or did he die two years ago and now they are blaming Randy?

 

[Pete]

He JUST died.

Fucking tards...

Sucks to see that Randy was denied bail once again. It's not looking to good for him or LoG.

 

[EffectsofRaven]

I swore I read he was cleared of all charges.

Don't jump on the stage kids.

Lesson learned.

Pissed me off because LoG was supposed to be at Heavy MTL and now they're being replaced by some shit stain nobody band.
