Nice find CyberJohn!
Is anyone following this story -
New Footage Of Randy Blythe Incident Surfaces Showing Security Assaulting Fan In Question
Singer Randy Blythe of Lamb of God was jailed in Prague with some serious bail for allegedly throwing a repeated stage diving fan off the stage. The fan died of his injuries 2 weeks later. This happened in 2010, but the Czech gov't. did/said nothing until now when the band toured there again.
It looks to me like the security there wasn't playing, and took these shenanigans seriously. In the vids I've seen, it's security giving the hard blows, and the singer giving a one hand push to let the kid know his time was up. I really hate that the kid died, but when you stage dive at any gig, you take your chances of serious injury - or - seriously injuring the people you land on! IMO, I don't think the singer or the band should be held responsible, and the security team that was there that night should be looked at a bit more closely.
Imagine going on tour and having foreign police come to your door and say you're under arrest for murder from a gig in 2010, and take your ass to prison!! That's effed up!
Any of you folks have any thoughts on this?

Yes I have Michell. And we've had some good discussions about it. General consensus is that it BULLSHIT! End of story. If you rush the stage you are risking injury. I think it's a money issue.

Well, that sucks! ~~
The ongoing legal saga of Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe had an important development today (July 3); he made bail. Blythe posted the approximately $200,000 bail in Prague, but remains in Czech custody due to statutory deadlines and holidays.
Blythe was arrested at the Prague airport last week in connection with a 2010 incident at a Lamb of God concert where there was an alleged altercation, with the end result being a fan suffered a brain injury and later died. Video that is purportedly from that show has surfaced. Blythe has not been officially charged, but could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of manslaughter.
So why is Blythe still incarcerated after posting bail? According to Blabbermouth, Prague district 8 court Judge Petr Fassati says prosecutors have three days to decide whether to approve Blythe’s release. And since Thursday and Friday are Czech holidays, the deadline is Monday, July 9. And if the prosecutor approves the release, the court has another three days to provide an official comment. There is also the possibility that the prosecutor and court could oppose Blythe’s release, meaning the bail could be canceled.
There are still a lot of legal issues to play out, and in the meantime Blythe remains in jail. No matter what the outcome, this incident could have wide-ranging implications when it comes to stage security issues. As I Lay Dying drummer Jordan Mancino told us, “I think it’s one of those things, especially at metal shows and heavy music shows, it’s something that I think the crowd comes to expect. It’s intense music and fans want to get involved because they feel that intensity. And I think a lot of it comes down to venues and security preparation to make sure that the crowd is safe and the band is safe.”
The metal community has rallied behind Blythe since his arrest, with many tweeting messages of support. However, GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus is criticizing the mainstream media for not paying more attention to the case.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's because mainstream media is busy with their political circlejerk at the moment.

12 years ago is a big difference for you and me Ally-boy. I don't think the Spice Girls were on my list. lol!
I have so many cassette tapes. It used to be fun to make set list tapes from Joe's shows. Now there's so many LIVE recordings, and all the goodies on this wonderful thinking box that I cba to ever do that again.
