Randy Blythe 'Disgusted' At Audience During Moment Of Silence


We should know that Friday, December 14th, 2012 was a tragic day for The U.S. Children were killed at an elementary school by a crazy gunman. This was an emotional moment for everyone. It was heartbreaking. Many rockers took the time to honor those lost. One being Randy Blythe.

The moment of silence Randy Blythe asked for was to honor those who we lost on Friday in the Connecticut school shooting. It was such a tragic event and a moment of silence for them is the best thing that could have been done to honor them at a Lamb of God show. You would think that the audience would stay quiet. They didn't though and that disgusted Blythe. He let out his feelings on Instagram.

My question is, how hard was it for the audience to stay quiet for sixty seconds? It wasn't much that was asked! This obviously pissed of Blythe because it was a simple and reasonable request. His outburst was on via Instagram. It was a long paragraph.


"I have never been more disgusted with an audience in my life", Blythe started. "I wish we hadn't played. We, Lamb of God, asked for 60 seconds of silence during our first set break to honor the dead children and teachers in Connecticut. It seemed appropriate- it’s a g*damned national tragedy. Most of the crowd complied, but several didn't, some cursing and even laughing. I wanted to walk off stage. I am so disgusted right now."

My reaction to read at how the crowd acted was like wow! I can't believe that people could be so inconsiderate and heartless! Children were killed and they laugh and curse about that! That's sick!

That's not all! He continued, "If you were one of those who wouldn't shut up for 60 lousy second to honor 20 murdered children, go look in the mirror. You are looking at a piece of sh*t. Your parents are obviously pieces of sh*y too, because they raised you to behave with no dignity. To the fans who were respectful, I thank you. I am also sorry you have so many g*damned a**holes in your community. You should do something about that. This sh*t would not have happened at a Lamb of God show where I live and that is a fact. We have more manners. I am just disgusted - thoroughly disgusted. You yelling people give metal a band name. Screw that. You give humanity a bad name. Grow up. Your parents should have beaten some manners into you, you savage little beasts."

I couldn't agree more with Randy Blythe. To conclude it all, "I will go to bed, say a prayer for those suffering, and hope for a better day tomorrow, because tonight sucked."

My heart and prayers go out to those families that lost their children.
