@@somethingsomething9008 Hey brother -- I was more saying that most interviewers ask fairly basic questions. This went to a higher level, and it was fun to watch. No disrespect to either side...this one was just a notch up from the average interview about the basics.

+Cam Par lol that was pretty epic. I just started listening to Lamb of God recently after seeing them in concert with Slipknot, the show was amazing! I'm steering away from rap and going back to metal, rap is horrible these days!
+Pickick (Pickick) think about the audience of this piece...clearly directed at the average TV viewer, not die-hard metal fans. She might know the difference, but said in a way others could understand. Not everyone cares about the various sub-genres...jeesh...
I've loved Lamb of God for years. Randy always surprises me when I watch interviews of him. He seems so soft spoken and articulate. Then when he grabs a mic it's like a 180 degree flip. He is an awesome vocalist and can sing awesome or scream like a banshee. Just love listening to Lamb of God.
Indeed. Randy is well read & very intelligent. And he does seem so meek and mild mannered in interviews, yet can crank it up for live performances. If you haven't seen them yet, do it !! Sources say they're doing one more album after Omens and then taking their retirement. So get your tickets and go. I promise you won't regret it. We're seeing them in August for the 3rd year in a row, I can't wait !! 🤘
Randy is such an amazing representation of the metal community as a whole and is clearly an intellectual and genuine human being, which really shines through in this interview! You are the shit Randy!! And cudos to the interviewer for doing her research and asking relevant questions. Great little interview!
Totally agree. Corey's such a bad ass! Not only is he a great musician and talented writer, but he's also just an awesome human being, and he's funny as shit! Both Randy and Corey are just down to earth dude's.
It is rare to find an interviewer who is as eloquent and extremely competent as her. I could not say the same for the cheetos fucked fox news anchors. Well done to you Madame and to you Sir Randy.
Mr 3280, Did I hurt your feelings? Would it help if I replaced Fox News with The View so you are not triggered? Do you need to catch a break and relax? Do let me know Mr. 3280
Gotta give it up to Randy. He does some stupid shit when he drinks, but he really is a class act overall. Going back to Czech Republic to face manslaughter charges when every single attorney he consulted with advised against it is an act of personal integrity. He deserves to be commended for that.
He stopped drinking in 2010, so you should phrase it as "he did some stupid shit when he was drinking" instead of "he does some stupid shit when he drinks".
Lamb of God has been my favourite band for years, the fact that the band members are also stand up guys and think having integrity is important makes me just a bigger fan! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love how this guy handles situations most rock stars would use as an excuse to act stupid and instead uses it as a vehicle to say something genuine, measured, and intelligent. That goes for this interview, and his handling of the misdirected criminal charges against him. Kudos. Also, the host here did well too.
Exactly right. I prefer my music like I prefer life in general. Straight up truth, skip the sugar coating. Love Lamb Of God and mad respect to Randy & the band. If you haven't yet seen them live folks, do it. Sources say they're doing one more album after Omens and then taking their much deserved retirement. Metal for life 🤘
This is aces. Hats off to the reporter for obviously being a pro in ALL the best senses of the word and to Randy Blythe... man, I already love the band and this just makes me love them more.
its so weird seeing him outside of the band, hes very well spoken and seems like a very nice man, so strange to see him rocking out and screaming then seeing him on a today show lol
@@positionthepositron I know this is old, but, it's actually correct if you're reading the acronym. blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2012/04/using-a-or-an-with-acronyms-and-abbreviations.html
ah yes, @ 4:15...one's "Inner Moral Compass." Not that fact that he went back to Prague. He felt he had to. As a heavy metal parent, I am happy to have my kids listen to Lamb of God! Randy Blythe is a good human. I am going to see them in Dallas is a few weeks. Can't wait! \m/
she seemed very well informed and composed despite prob not knowing much about the band or listening to metal, and randys not an easy guy to interview so kudos to her lol
Wow, this woman conducts a much better interview than anyone I've seen on Metal Injection--nice work! There aren't many metal musicians I look up to for non-musical reasons, but Randy is certainly an exception.
LOG are from the Richmond area. Why are so many people surprised that this was a great interview with an internationally famous, locally college educated man? Randy Blythe isn't a dumbass.
Imagine all the people watching this in the morning and hearing the band name Lamb of God thinking is some peaceful Christian classical piece And then hearing Randy scream
loves the shit out of randy. it was a hilarious juxtaposition to see the sunny happy format against the subject at hand. I just finished chapters 10 and 11 and it was pretty damn disturbing.
Wow... I expected as im sure others did for this interview to be awkward. But thought it was just the opposite. As the Palaces Burn was an emotional dvd. I also for some reason, pictured the news anchor giving Lamb of God a listen in her car driving home after work.💀🤘
You know I've never had the honor of meeting randy yet. But from the first time I dropped ATPB or NAG (can't remember which I purchased first) in my cd player. I've known that I'd probably get along well with and probably like the fuck out of the fella. Off to the book store.
"I try yknow, a little smile on people's faces" "And a lot of that comes on stage when you're performing" "yea, a slightly different energy, when we play" lmaooooo
Usually the first one or two albums that a band puts out are crap. Then they have 2 or 3 really great ones and after that they're done and have no ideas left. But man that new record kicked ass so fucking hard. One of the few bands to get better instead of worse
when she brought up his dead child i was like "ohhhhhh heeellll naw. she did not". but at leeast she did it in a non touchy way. i;m surprised she even knew about his child
Jesus christ... "Aight so we're gonna have you just stand there staring into the camera holding your book for just long enough for it to be awkward while we recap the most horrific day in your life, mkay?"
Yeah she should have kept her mouth shut on that one.What do you expect from a reporter that's trying to bring you down anyways ,cuz your band name and you guys amazing success. Good job ,Lamb of God. Keep rocking baby....L.O.G love u guys....!!. Thanks to you now we have something to die for ,LOL. F****** killer job on momentum mory, my favorite ........ .........
I was a drummer for a thrash band in the early 2000's, and we destroyed audiences on the weekends (we all had day jobs). Then I'd flip the switch Monday morning and became Mr. high salary Corporate Administrator during the work week, training employees, heading up division meetings, performing audits, negotiating labor union contracts, liasioning with the community and government, and on and on. Only a handful of co workers knew I played in a metal band, and were shocked that someone like me would "be involved in anything like that". And I don't point this out to boast, but how unbelieveably ignorant their prejudices were. Shit, we're people too right, and like Randy Blythe, Tom Araya and other metal artists, we can be as thoughtful, erudite, cultured, educated, civic minded, family oriented, and worldy as anyone. When I told them I was a hardcore surfer too, that freaked them out even more. They were either stupid or stuck up, ... probably both.
It's rare you see an intelligent musician be interviewed by an intelligent reporter and have an intelligent conversation. Well done.
I would think most metal musicians are relatively intelligent, because some of the songs they write are so complex it needs a certain understanding of mathematics. However often the drugs, alcohol and egos distort that
@Dutch van der Linde
Tool uses math to write some of their songs
I'm a metalheads but your comment is fucking pretentious learning how to play complex music isnt some math problem lol cringe
Tool isnt a metal band

Seeing Randy on a Good Morning show is the biggest trip ever haha
I've never seen a heavy metal artist on GMA or any media, like wtf???
Looks like he didnt get much sleep....
Good job by the interviewer,seems like she did her research beforehand and knew what she was talking about.
Or maybe shes a metal head who you will see moshing at a lamb of god concert
+Devin Maddox i vote for that answer.

Him and Corey Taylor are great figure heads for metal. Very well spoken and make great songs. Also make really good books.

Yeah, Steel Panther is great! I prefer my metal a little heavier but they are hilarious and super talented.

Randy became sober during the Sacrament tour, he didn't have to go back but of course man did the right thing
he didnt go back for the trial, it is a missinformation, he went back with the band to perform there, he didnt know he was going to be arrested
Such a down to earth dude. ...and my favorite vocalist of course😏

When he talks, sick, when he sings, sicker, when he screams, badasss \m/
This was really entertaining. Props to the new anchor for being respectful.

One of the many stories that life writes. With all ups and downs. I am excited to read the book.

I saw them in Corpus, man. They put on a hell of a show! Randy is a class act.
I am going out and buying that book tomorrow.
Best spoken man in America! Should have voted Randy for President!
comments are right guys, she's a great interviewer. someone promote her to primetime
she seemed very well informed and composed despite prob not knowing much about the band or listening to metal, and randys not an easy guy to interview so kudos to her lol
Good job VA the morning. The interviewer really did her job.
excellent ...she is awesome..good interviewer
Glad be be from Stafford Virginia 2 hours away from where Lamb Of God is from!
Randy is awesome. If he was a tangerine he'd be a good tangerine.
Mr Randy, thank God you are free
This woman is delightful
512 amazing song!

what a great guy, i would really like to meet him
very intelligent individual..Randy is awesome
Good interview. Good job Sheryll
Its not a coincidence that most successful metal muaicians come across far better in interviews than most pop or rap stars.
LOG are from the Richmond area. Why are so many people surprised that this was a great interview with an internationally famous, locally college educated man? Randy Blythe isn't a dumbass.
What a beautiful presentation and wonderful host. This was well made.
it's really a good thing that he wrote this book..
That's one hell of a flavor savor.
Imagine all the people watching this in the morning and hearing the band name Lamb of God thinking is some peaceful Christian classical piece
And then hearing Randy scream
I love his voice it sounds like a motor engine
Manslaughter sounds so fucking vicious, couldn't they find a nicer word for it lmao.
dude over hugging
“Unintentionally causing the conclusion to one’s life” that should do it
loves the shit out of randy. it was a hilarious juxtaposition to see the sunny happy format against the subject at hand. I just finished chapters 10 and 11 and it was pretty damn disturbing.

Great interview, insightful questions and randy is well informed and eloquent as ever. :)

"with a new album ready to drop soon" I died

I love him
Class act
This is a surprisingly good interview!
awesome interview
He's talking... but all I can think to myself is... how is his voice so fucking deep? It's awesome.
All that amazing singing came at a price
He is such an intelligent guy.
great interview
"I try yknow, a little smile on people's faces"
"And a lot of that comes on stage when you're performing"
"yea, a slightly different energy, when we play"

HEAVY METAL....... HEAVY METAAAAAAAAAL OMG
Came here to listen to Randy. Come to find out Cheryl is a goddamn pro at her job.
Randy you fucking rule \m/
Back to you cheryl
Is it pronounced "Bly" and not "Blythe"?
yes
We need Randy to narrate audio books.
Blythe has some huge ears.
Unlike some gangster rappers I've been to prison! XD
He sounds like Andy Biersack.
Cultivated, eloquent and well-mannered (plus they both have a deep, sexy voice, lol).
Randy fucking rules.
If anyone claims that we metal heads are a bunch of idiots they clearly haven't seen the likes of randy Blythe
Good man

Were the 2 song still echoes and 512 because 512 is my fav song
I'm impressed by his intelligence. Just goes to show never judge a book by the cover.
