Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God) Comments On The Kardashians And Gives Real Advice To New Bands

Randy Blythe, the lead singer of Lamb Of God, was interviewed by Irving Ibiza and shared some very interesting opinions and details about his and Lamb Of God’s music career. According to Metal Castle, Randy Blythe mentioned the huge differences between the way new and upcoming bands think nowadays when compared to the past. Randy explained that bands should only start a band if that is their passion and not because for being famous and rich.

“Every now and then, someone will get through a message to me. And the questions the kids are asking today are different than the ones they used to ask.

The kids used to ask, ‘How did you guys do this? How did you put it together enough to put out a seven-inch? How did you get a van? How did you book these shows? How did you get your start? How did you do these things? Now I get questions like, ‘I’m thinking about starting a band. I would like any advice you have on how to be successful in the music industry.’ And I’m, like, ‘No. You’re asking the wrong fucking question here.’

If you’re not doing this for any other reason other than you love it, you’re fucked. Yes, this is my job, and yes, I make a good living, and yes, it started that way. But I’m gonna do this whether it’s my living or not, man, because this is what I do. “I think social media and all that stuff is a huge problem with that kind of stuff. And, of course, we live in this age where you can be famous for doing nothing, like the Kardashians or whatever. I think people are, like, ‘Oh, I need this attention.’ And that wasn’t the primary goal for us. Our goal was to make fucking music we liked. And that’s still the goal.”

Randy also gave details about his goals of performing live with a band:

“I never dreamed of playing stadiums. My biggest dream, one I dared not utter, when I joined the band, was to play CBGB. That was my biggest dream.”
