LAMB OF GOD Singer Randy Blythe In New Exclusive Interview - "I Did Not Attack Anyone"
July 17, 2012, 12 years ago
In his first interview since being arrested on manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic, LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe has spoken to the country's Blesk.cz in an exclusive interview. Here are a few excerpts translated from the chat:
Blesk.cz: What happened during the incident at Prague’s Club Abaton on May 24th, 2010?
"I do not know about any incident. Few remember, because I have a lot of concerts. Just remember that the club was a small stage, which barely fit and group facilities. Apparently there was a security guard because many people climbed onto the stage. I think that one small boy in particular, but I could be confused with other clubs. Since the concert I have glasses, I see very little more than outlines details. In any case, I did not attack anyone."Blesk.cz: How do you spend time in custody and what inmates?
"I read, I write letters to friends, family, also write a diary. I'm starting to write a book about Pankrác prison and write lyrics. "Blesk.cz: Do you have reservations about the work of the Czech police and justice in your case?
"As for the police, I believe that it is very professional and it follows the principles of good conduct. But in terms of justice, then frankly I do not understand because it is different than the US. I thought that if the group folds on bail, I'll be released."Blesk.cz: You have passed the bail and soon get to freedom. What are your future plans?
"If I go back to the US, I have to mow the lawn, spend some time with family and plunge back into performing, so I can pay for legal services. Friends help earn money so that we can live decently. If I'd had to stay in the Czech Republic, I would look at the sights, especially in Prague.
Blythe's next court appearance is this Thursday, July 19th where he will learn if his posted bail will be accepted or if the Prague Municipal Court will deny his release, forcing him to stay in prison.
