Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe Appears In Court, Bail To Be Posted
Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe was in court this morning and appears to have been released from custody in Prague, CZE. Blythe will be posting $200,000 bail, his alleged yearly income, for his freedom. However, he will not be able to pay until Monday, due to the banks being closed for the weekend.
Blythe was detained on charges of manslaughter. The charges stem from a 2010 show the band played in Prague. That show saw a 19 year old fan identified as Daniel N. reportedly jump on the stage a number of times, causing Blythe to eventually push him back; where he subsequently fell into the audience and hit his head. The 19 year old suffered internal bleeding from the incident and fell into a coma, dying 14 days later.
Video footage and photos of Blythe in court, along with photos of the victim, can be found on the Czech publication, Blesk.cz.
Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton has seemingly confirmed the news of his bandmates impending release, tweeting earlier today:
“Today just turned into a FANTASTIC day!!!”

$20 grand is a small price to pay to get out of a foreign prison.
$200 grand for bail.
Blythe makes $200,000 a year yet his wardrobe looks like he makes less than $20 grand a year.
Maybe he should stick with drinking Scotch and wearing kilts.
I guess you don’t know how bail works. You pay 10% when posting bail. So like I said, $20,000. Congrats, you’ve been edumacated.
Wurst, I’m pretty sure Czechoslovakia doesn’t have bail bonds.
I realize you dont like being corrected but that’s the way it is.
A 10% bail bond is much only available in the United States and the Philippines.
Now you’re ready for the LSAT.
I’m not gonna argue with you but you’re incorrect, sir.
Wurst translation “I know Im wrong but too much of an idiot to admit it, so let me put you aside by saying Im not going to argue, and take the last word by sayig you are still wrong”
Wurst, can you provide a link detailing Czechoslovakia’s 10% bail for foreigners on charges related to death?
SUCH IS THE RULE OF HONOR
wurst, if you got your news somewhere other than the prp you would know that he has to pay 200k american after the 10% was applied.
yeah, i dont see where it says he can pay ten percent. i’m sure they’ll want every dime of it. if he’s smart he’ll get out of there and never go back. give the family a little money in be done with it. it’s a shakedown. if the guy rushed him 3 times, he had the right to defend himself.
oh he only makes 200 gs a year now i see why he complains about money so much!
He easily makes way more than that. Members of metal bands in the top tier have to easily make three times that amount. I’m strictly basing that off the fact a buddy (Zach Blair) in Rise Against says he pulls in a million a year since he joined the band. Who knows what Randy really makes, dont care.
A million? Are you serious? Wow. I suppose, with endorsements… who would’ve thought not eating meat could pay so well?
Yay for Vans.
I consider top tier metal bands, Disturbed, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Korn, LoG is not as famous as those guys.
Well yea but the only metal band out of that bunch is Slipknot and LOG is pretty damn close to being as big as them, fan wise.
theres a world of difference between the popularity of rise against and LOG
and LOG is nowhere near as popular as slipknot either
Nice name drop asshole.
Jesus christ, a million a year? Rise Against isn’t THAT big…. (I mean they’re one of the most successful rock bands nowadays, but that really doesn’t say a whole lot compared to previous times) but still, these people act like there is absolutely no money to be made in the market anymore.
@Stereotypical….that the number he stated a little over two years ago. His brother might make more if their band tour more. He’s is in The Toadies…oh wait, that was a name drop. Sorry, Kummer.
@Fred Fred…I said metal bands, not nu metal bullshit
@Kummer…fuck off. What did you want me to say, “yeah, one of my brothers friends in this big band blah blah blah”. Besides, you wouldnt even know him by name if I didnt follow it up with “in Rise Against” so that doesnt qualify as a name drop. He’s pretty much a nobody unless you were a fan of the mid 90s Dallas punk scene and were a fan of Hagfish.
typos…ive been drinking.
WURST I’m talking about bands that are famous in this so called “metal scene” Lamb of God couldn’t fill an open air arena like Iron Maiden, or SOAD or Slipknot, their not as famous. The Venue they played at the last time they were in VA was the 9:30 club, All General Admission and not thaaat big.
If dude actually makes 200,000 a year, I suddenly am very annoyed at all his rants about not making money.
Now that Dog The Bounty Hunter is out of a job at A&E, maybe he can swoop in and work some white trash magic with the Czech’s on Randy’s behalf. Lower that $200 large bullshit.
It’s a good thing he wore his good Obituary shirt to his court date.
