Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe recently met actor Michael C. Hall—though he certainly didn’t realize it at first. Hall is more famously known as ‘Dexter Morgan‘ of the recently concluded TV series, “Dexter“. Hall was in attendance backstage at Lamb Of God‘s recent Los Angeles, CA show. Blythe took to his Instagram to share the tale of their chance meeting:
“Another LA dressing room shot. This is this dude Mike [see the photo here] I met that night. Ben, my bad-ass editor over at Da Capo/Perseus (publishing company that’s putting out my book in North America) was coming to the show & asked if it was cool for a plus one on the list, as he wanted to bring a friend. Sure, no problem- he came to the bus before the show & introduced his old college buddy Mike, & we sat & shot the shit for a half hour or so.
I thought maybe Mike was his editorial assistant at Da Capo or something- he was a super chill dude. Then I noticed A LOT of people started getting on & off our bus, more than normal. Then our video guy Doug asked Mike for a picture, like “My wife will kill me if I don’t get a photo with you”- Mike said sure. Doug left & I was like “Bro, who ARE you?”
I thought maybe he was some sort of rockstar editor I didn’t know about (are there such things?) or maybe in porn or something, hahaha. He just looked at me & was like “I’m an actor, I was on a tv show called Dexter & another one called Six Feet Under” I said “Oh, that’s cool. I don’t watch tv. I’m sorry I don’t know your show.”
Then I realized that I was saying EXACTLY to him what people who don’t know my band say “Oh, I’m sorry I’ve never heard of you”- IT’S OK! NOT EVERYONE IS A METALHEAD! So I said “Wait dude, I’m NOT sorry I don’t watch tv, but it’s really nice to meet you” & then we just kicked it with all our other guests until we played. Mike was mad chill (This is Michael C. Hall, NOT DEXTER- FUCK! That’s an imaginary person!
Mike’s a real person) & watched the show & I hope he had a good time & didn’t get “Dextered” to death. Let a motherfucker chill, SHIT! I won’t start watching tv, but I will go see his new movie I looked up about a murder in the Beat scene called “Kill Your Darlings”. Anyways, nice guy, & he took a pretty good portrait.”
If that’s not enough Blythe for you, he also recently penned a review of rapper Pusha T‘s latest album “My Name Is My Name” over at Thetalkhouse.com.
