LAMB OF GOD Guitarist: 'We Hope We'll Be Able To Get RANDY Out This Afternoon' - June 29, 2012
Guitarist Willie Adler of Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD has commented on the report that the band's lead singer, Randy Blythe, was arrested yesterday in Prague in the Czech Republic and charged in connection with the death of a fan two years ago.

Blythe, 41, is reportedly accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010 show at another venue in Prague. The singer apparently either pushed or struck the fan who had come on stage, and that person later died.

Commented Willie: "It's been a rough couple of days. All I can say is that I can't recall that particular show let alone a fan being beaten on the stage. I think I would've noticed something like that considering the Dime [the 2004 murder of PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott] thing."

He added, "We're all still here in the Czech Republic awaiting what is to happen. We hope we'll be able to get Randy out this afternoon. All our thoughts are with him as well as the family of the deceased fan. We've no real clue as to what happened to him, but we send our condolences. All we try to do is entertain; the fans are why we're here. We would never try and harm anyone."

LAMB OF GOD's publicist, Adrenaline PR, issued a statement earlier today stressing that "under no circumstances was there a fight of any kind involved [during LAMB OF GOD's 2010 concert]. This incident deals with a fan that three times during the concert jumped the barricade and rushed Randy during the performance. It is alleged that the third time, security was not able to reach him and that Randy pushed him back into the audience where supposedly he fell and hit his head."

A Czech LAMB OF GOD fan who says that he attended the band's 2010 concert in Prague, described the incident on Facebook as follows: "I've seen many bands in that club like DEVILDRIVER, HATEBREED, etc. and every metal fan in Prague knows that this is one of the 'stage-diving-friendly' clubs. HATEBREED and DEVILDRIVER were OK with that. The guy climbed on stage and Randy slapped him and the guy fell on the ground (NOT off the stage), [Randy] sang few words to his face and pushed him back and said that he is not OK with people on the stage. A murder? I dont think so...that hit wouldn't kill you unless you're made of glass."

Randy's brother, Mark Blythe, told CBS-6 that he's awaiting further details and said the charge is "bogus and outrageous and will be dropped immediately."

At least Randy will be able to write another crappy album about his adventures in the Czech jail.

If what the publicist is saying is true, it shouldn't be hard to prove self-defense. Of course, I don't know what the laws in the Czech Republic are like.

The whole thing sucks. Security should be able to handle crowds, but when they can't, what are the musicians supposed to do?

And if what the fan is saying is true, it still sounds like it's on security. Why would they allow the guy to be up there long enough to get smacked, yelled at, pushed, etc.? None of this makes sense.

If you jump onstage at a metal show and fuck with the lead singer, your risking getting hurt, pushed, etc.

Again, no one knows what happened except maybe a couple people there who ACTUALLY saw what happened. Wether this dead fan was being a dick or not, I doubt Randy meant him fatal injuries.

All we can do is speculate, and the only thing we're gonna see for the next couple days is:

-people who hate L.O.G. saying he deserves to rot in jail
-people making silly (occasionally humorous) jokes
-people automatically defending him because they like his band

Regardless of your like/dislike of the band, you have to be thinking that this is a nightmare no one would want to go through.

I've never understood people who jump onstage, and attempt to interact with a band member. If you want to get up there - do it, but turn around and dive immediately.

I jumped onstage during the final song of Nevermore's last Los Angeles gig and not only did Warrel Dane not kill me, he put the mic in my face and we sang together. After that, the entire stage was crowded with fans. Damn, I miss Nevermore. What were we talking about again?

LOG options if we don't get Randy back:
1) Disband
2) Move to Seattle and replace with Geoff Tate
3) Revert to studio only project and bribe warden to allow Randy
to record vocals in his cell

They could always go back to being Burn the Priest. I'd prefer them without the cookie monster shtick anyway. Randy is the main reason I could never get into this band.

If he does get convicted and they decide to carry on with Geoffrey Tate, thus making saxophone flavoured albums then in many ways he's in the best place.

Think of all the practice he'll have honking on a whole multitude of skin flutes... I'm sure the technique will transfer to the saxophone.

He's not very tough, I saw a youtube clip of one of his own bandmate whipping his scrawny ass.
