RANDY BLYTHE of LAMB OF GOD wanted by Czech police for manslaughter

[brutal_descent]

According to Czech news site Novinky.cz, Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe has been arrested in Prague on charges of manslaughter.

While I’ve only been able to scrounge up a rough translation of the report, Blythe’s arrest apparently stems from a concert that took place on May 24, 2010. Allegedly, a fan lept on stage during the show, resulting in a physical altercation. The fan eventually succumbed to his injuries and died, leading to the charges Blythe now faces.

Fan-filmed videos of the concert in question are readily available on YouTube, although I have not been able to find footage of this specific incident as of yet.

The band was scheduled to at the Rock Café in Prague tonight along with All Shall Perish and Skeletonwitch; the venue’s official website confirms that Lamb of God have cancelled this evening performance, but does not specify the cause of the cancellation.

We’ll update this story as more news becomes available.

EDIT: Going by posts on Lamb of god's fb page, apparently this is true.

So they waited two years to call for Randy's arrest?

...Or did the fan just recently die and it's only now that they're pressing charges?

I think it's been Lamb of God's first show in Prague since then; they were probably just waiting for an opportunity to arrest him.

WTF?

From what it sounds like some guy jumped on stage, Randy kicked him, the guy tripped and fell off the stage, hit his head, and died form internal bleeding.




That's not really Randy's fault, but we'll see.

...holy shit, does anyone remember that story about Trapped Under Ice beating the shit out of some dude in Germany at one of their shows last year?

Makes sense. I guess all we can do is wish Randy the best and wait to see what happens.

Now for the selfish statement: what's going to happen to the LoG/Dethklok/Gojira tour?


I've been looking forward to that.
