1. Very weird to see one’s Richmond homies interviewed by an Italian web radio outlet, the hostess of which haltingly/animatedly refers to Randy’s “vocal explosions.” (Almost as rad as when Conan said something to the effect of “first he channels the devil himself… and then he takes a lozenge.”)

  2. If you needed more reasons to hate the Jonas Brothers

    Other albums on target for high debuts on next week’s Billboard 200, based on sales reflected on the Friday Building chart, include Lamb of God’s “Wrath” (Prosthetic/Epic) and Jake Owen’s “Easy Does It” (RCA).

    - qtd. in Jonas Brothers’ ‘3D’ Poised For Big Billboard 200 Debut.

    If you needed more reasons to hate the Jonas Brothers, looks like Lamb of God, with only the most righteous metal release ever, is going to take second place behind them in the forthcoming Billboard ratings.

    Related: See here for why, the other day, I personally apologized to Mark Morton on behalf of my daughters, and here for a photoset that coincidentally includes both said daughters at a Jo Bros show, and at the same state fair, hanging out with Lamb of God’s vocalist among others in our nutty crew. (On which day, I might add, my eldest daughter famously punched said vocalist in the stomach - all in play, of course; where he’s kind of like the brother I never had, she regards him as his slightly annoying but loveable uncle.)

     

  3. I didn’t watch Late Night with Conan O’Brien too regularly, but I damn sure appreciated him having my friends on the show, and O’Brien’s comment later, about Randy: When he sings, he summons the actual devil… and then he goes and has a losenge! (Comment is not on this clip, alas.)

    So, thanks dude! And good luck with the new gig in Cali.

  5. Lamb of God’s new video, Set to Fail, premiered today on myspace. My husband’s in it - he’s one of the burly, bald white dudes who appears in a fair number of the scenes. I’m also in it, but since I showed up when 80% of the shoot was over (metal mamas have kids to feed dinner and tuck into bed, y’know), you’d have to know where and when to look for me (mostly at the 5-second mark) or you’d miss me altogether (which would be okay, seriously).

    I’ll post some screenshots later on with some of the more awesome stills.

  6. Mark & Randy, plus our adorable hound. (via vmarinelli) Damn, I love these guys. (Lamb of God fans: Click through to image on Flickr for the metal nerd details.)

     


  7. Metal Hammer has some good descriptions of the new Lamb of God album, Wrath. FWIW, ‘Fake Messiah’ is the song that followed Randy’s kind shout-out on my birthday, while ‘Set to Fail’ is the track referenced in the post before last (the video for which my husband and I appear in, although I’m in little of the footage, as I couldn’t get to the shoot until it was 75% over).

     

  8. I’ll probably know the lyrics to this song until I’m on my deathbed, considering how many times it was played in the course of the video shoot we were at on January 9 (as tweeted about previously). It’s gonna be sick!

    (Sick = “rad” in metalhead-speak, y’all.)
