So yeah, he's fucked basically.

Oh well.

Whoa, that's some pretty heavy shit right there. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

The link isn't working for me, but from what I've heard he beat a fan for being on stage and the fan later died of his injuries.

Yeah, that's about the jist of it.

I'm wondering what transpired in the altercation? Usually bands don't, ya' know, kill fans for jumping on stage.

Sucks for him. No big loss personally.

From what I've read a fan got up onstage and Randy kicked him off. He must've fallen off stage and smacked his head, because if Randy beat the shit out of him there'd be at least video of it.

Links not working for me, but doesn't metalsucks make up shit for humour and trolling all the time? Or is it being reported elsewhere too?

That's some blog with the word Tyranny in it that you're thinking of. MetalSucks report the news, but with a lot of added commentary in there. Basically it's Metal Injection but snarkier.

I know they do news, but they do make trolling jokes also, the burzum gangsta line was them right? And a few others like iwrestledabearonce becoming black metal? Unless that last one actually did happen haha.

That was actually IWABO trolling everyone. It wasn't one site that started it.

Oh well, no real big loss for me personally either. I've heard from people in the past that Blythe can be a bit of a dick, so, this doesn't really come off as that much of a surprise. All fun and games until you push the douchebag boundary too far and royally fuck someone's shit up.

To the people who can't get the link to work, I found an article about this event on Metal Insider (if it's the article Subrick is talking about).

tyrannyofwhatever wouldn't make-up a story like this that would have serious ramifications. They'd go for something more absurd and obviously untrue.

I suppose the details of the situation are really important. Was the guy getting in his face and starting shit or did he just start beating on a stagediver? Regardless, I doubt that he will receive any serious punishment.

I'm wondering how this incident was not reported when the fan originally got injured. If the injuries were serious enough to cause him to die a couple years later then I would think this would not have gone unnoticed till now. Sounds fishy to me.

This guy always seemed pretty hot headed to me. I don't see him getting away with this based on what the article said happened.

Can't find a video of the incident on May 24... although there is video from that very show. It's possible someone recorded it but I haven't been able to dig it up. Here is Mortuus doing something similar though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuqboGYK ... page#t=70s

That one always cracks me up.

If security at a venue fails to prevent a fan from entering a stage, the band has a right to defend themselves. Who knows what that fan had intended to do, whether it be to jump off the stage into the crowd, give Randy Blythe a hug or try and turn him into Dimebag. I'm sure Randy had no intention of killing the guy, but rather send a message to get the fuck off the stage. If the piece of shit dies as a result, they only brought it on themselves.

If he dies, he dies.

Surely that´s what Randy said after beating up the fan.

It would have been pretty hilarious if, at some point after the incident, the victim put on a straight face in a hospital bed, stared into Randy's eyes, and said to him: "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven. Such is the rule... of honor."

S'not like they were gonna be making a new Ashes of the Wake anytime soon. They dove head first into the shithouse after that album.

Is anyone else surprised that Watain hasn't run into something similar yet?

I can't disagree more. AOTW is a huge snorefest, I haven't listened to Sacrament in forever but I think I'd still like it, and then Wrath is just great - faster, rawer and more genuinely pissed-off in general. I haven't heard the new album yet, though.

Why? Did a band member kill someone?

None that I know of, but Watain is notorious for beating the shit out of people who come on stage, more than most other bands.

Watain I've never heard stories of them beating up people that get onstage with them.

This short footage is a part of the Watain on-stage beating incident. That clown deserves it.

After ashes I feel as though they lost that aggressive death/groove feel that they established up until their biggest commercially successful album, Sacrament (not saying I don't like the new stuff because they made a living off it, but they had a change in sound after it, honestly some stuff off sacrament is good). After sacrament it seems like they got more and more repetitive and stagnant from there, I can't even listen to set to fail all the way through because it just sounds like a blatant re-hashing of sacrament.
And to tie in to the subject, I doubt Blythe will get more than a fine from this whole ordeal honestly. Sounds like a huge accident but I doubt he'd get a couple years in a Czech prison over it... Last I "czeched" the government over there is a lot like the rest of western Europe when it comes to capital punishment, they don't believe in life sentences and executions, the country's high-security prison in Mirov houses less than 200(?) inmates inside an old gothic castle.

Oh well, it was a dick move and he'll have to pay for it. No big loss to the Metal world.

Seems like there is plenty of LoG material about someone getting pummeled for pissing Randy off (or someone else -- who knows or cares).

Unfortunately, in real life when you haul off on someone and they die........YOU GO TO JAIL.

I had the feeling he had some sort of anger issues when I read this, so...

There it is. We all knew it was coming. I'm not sure if you deserve a fist bump or a punch in the face

But I wonder what Randy did exactly...it would really suck for him if he had to stay in a Czech prison, with that language barrier and being so far from his family (assuming he has one?).

I'm surprised that there has been no news about a warrant for his arrest, or any news about the incident that I remember hearing. It seems like the proper way to handle an incident from two years ago with an internationally famous person would be to contact them/their management about it, rather than waiting until the next time they come to the country and arresting them without notice. There's something wrong with how this is being handled.


I believe that was one of the guys from DRI.

Yeah somethings weird about this, you'd think they'd arrest him right after it happened, even if the guy didn't die right away. I agree that the way they handled it is bizarre, its kind of weird that we wouldn't here about this before he goes back and they arrest him. I mean, they must have just been waiting, knowing he'd come back, if they made a fuss about it he would avoid the country and therefore arrest (don't think the states would extradite to the Czech..)

So apparently he killed a person 2 years ago, That really sucks. If this is really true (i don't believe in the sources i have seen) then i can expect no less than some time in prison. Bad for Lamb Of God, this is a big, impressive and disgusting new.

Well yes, of course they waited until he came back. If they wanted to arrest him, it's really the only way. They can't broadcast to the world "hey Randy, if you come back we'll arrest you!!"

No. They keep it under wraps and wait until he willingly returns. Then they arrest him.

Actually, I wonder now -- did he realize the person died, until just recently?

The US has an extradition treaty with the Czech Republic. This is being mishandled if they waited two years for him to return to their country while apparently keeping it out of the news, rather than using the standardized means that are available to them.

I can't imagine the family of the dead guy would go for that plan, I'm pretty sure they'd be yelling "Extradite that murderer!" really loudly.

Yeah it would make sense that they would not make it public so he'd come back, but I don't know how they managed to keep the fact that a singer from a well known band killed someone under wraps. You'd think stuff like that would tend to come out.
