Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe “GO OUTSIDE.”
Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe apparently didn’t take kindly to me posting some of his rather amusing viewpoints on djent and the lack of innovation in music yesterday. Thus he has requested (once again via his Twitter) the following series of tweets be posted:
“INCREDIBLY, me arguing briefly over something as INANE as “micro-sub-genre-izing” on FUCKING TWITTER is now “news”. Who runs these sites? I mean REALLY- this is what passes for “news” on these websites? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, what are you, twelve? You have anything else? I mean ANYTHING of substance to put on your website other than a FUCKING TWITTER FEED? Are you The Inquirer now? Is that what it’s come to? You cobbled together a few tweets from different exchanges I’ve had & made it NEWS? My fucking God. Do you EVER LEAVE THE BASEMENT? Wow. Opinions as electronic headlines. No wonder this world is going down the shitter. GO OUTSIDE. Put that on yer fucking website.”
That said, I’m not posting this just to be a cheeky asshole or to try and start some bullshit feud. I enjoy the guy’s music and his acerbic commentary. I can also see and understand his point of view. The fact is though that like it or not people care about the opinions of musicians on music-no matter the medium which it is delivered. That is why I posted it, though obviously it was meant as color more than anything else.
Having now been summarily booshed by Blythe though, I’m still a Lamb Of God fan. Even with Epic stiffing me for money on some ads I’ve ran for the band in the past. Unfortunately for me though I don’t have plans to leave the basement today (no seriously, he was right about that.)

Damn you Wook, how dare you post what a musician is saying about the current state of MUSIC on your MUSIC site. Dick move bro.
why does it matter, saying what he said will get Randy just more bullshit.
Homeboy should be glad ANYONE cares about what he thinks. His band is good, but he personally always struck me as a pompous douche.
Randy usually has some pretty fair insight and should know better than this. When you’re a prominent entertainer, ANYTHING you say will be turned into news even if it isn’t particularly newsworthy. If this bothers you, don’t post your opinions on Twitter. However, the obvious intention of the whole twitter system is to get attention for your thoughts and feelings, so what’s he really complaining about here?
Also, I would have a really hard time being a fan of a band after the lead singer talked some shit on me. I got mad respect anyone that doesn’t share this tendency.
in the sports world, twitter feeds are a primary source of news. anyone who has ever been to mlbtraderumors.com knows this.
can we get to the root of the issue here? he posted something on a PUBLIC WEBSITE. it belongs to the PUBLIC now. gosh, i better not repost this on my blog, he might come to my house and beat me up. of course then, i could have him sign some LOG vinlys….that would be cool.
Hahaha!! Fucking badass all around! I guess Randy still isn’t quite aware of the repercussions of his “celebrity” status now and fucking A well said in your response, wook! AS THE PALACES BURN! \m/
Do yourself a favor! Cancel your twitter account and write some clever music. Without Mark, Chris, Willie, and John, you would not have a pot to piss in…..and by the looks of things you got a lot of pissing going on…. cry baby jeeze. I mean it’s the internet! duuuuh.
….and by the way Wookubus. Nice work! Its called journalism and investigative reporting for a reason. If the guy want to shit himself on twitter, then thats Great news. Thanks.
Dear Randy, the easiest way to stop people from spreading around what you said is SHUT THE FUCK UP IN THE FIRST PLACE. Dude is probably drunk away. Jack Daniels and Twitter make for strange bedfellows.
that being said please keep making music.
My thoughts exactly on the drinking. I think Randall’s back on the wagon. Or is it off the wagon? What I mean to say is he’s not drinking O’Douls anymore, unless he’s chasing Johnnie Walker Black with it.
Here’s what’s really happening:
Blythe twittered (or tweetered, whatever the fuck), wook posted it, Blythe goes “Huh! Wow, as if they posted that… I wonder if they’ll post THIS!” Further twatting.
Bam. More free publicity. Smart man.
I think LOG gets all the publicity they need from these sites. Nobody is forgetting LOG. If anything, this is just negative press. Not a good move.
There is no negative press.
Betcha he’s got a sextape on deck too…
People thinking he is a whiny little bitch is negative press.
isnt that the dude that had his own band whooping his ass? good job wook, give it to the dick that put out that garbage song called redneck!
Damn. The headline had me thinking Randy had just joined Michelle Obama in the fight against childhood obesity.
Never liked Lamb Of God anyway. They’ve always come off as really cheesy to me. So yeah, never understood why they, of all bands, have become so massive within the metal world.
Probably consistency. That and the fact that they are some of the most talented musicians in their genre. Granted, I’m not a huge fan, but they deserve respect.
fags
I have zero idea what it’s like to be famous, tour the world and deal with people in my business. However, if you’re looking for a private way to express your thoughts on “inane” subject matter perhaps Twitter is a poor one. You want to express your ideas but you don’t want them fired back in your face. May I suggest a PRP membership and a screen name that reflects a band or inside joke?
“You guys are fucking insane. Best city of the tour”….. “MILWAUKEE” – repeat 30 times over. I fucking hate that shit.
Randy is a bad mother fucker and Lamb of God is one of the greatest American metal bands around. That being said, I’m staying out of this entire goddamn dirty mess.
Easy there, princess.. No need to get on theprp’s case. You’re lucky they review your decent but not purchasable music.
& wook: sound like changing your ad policy might be a good idea, I’d hate to see you lose dough on posting banners for bunk-ass bands.
The way this guy is acting up portrays him as the puerile 12 year old, to be perfectly honest with all of you.
The fact of the matter is people feel incomplete without titles, and the sad part is everyone wants to be so different and unique; it’s unsettling they feel the need to place things into categories or sub-genres of genres. AL from Ministry said it best “you’re either metal or radio”. Thank you AL.
Shouldn’t Randy go outside and stop posting twitter feeds and being angry on a computer. How about write some songs? That’s sounds like a good idea. As for me, I can’t go outside, work doesn’t allow it
