Slow-motion video footage of LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe "attacking" David L can be seen below. The incident which resulted in the death of the LAMB OF GOD fan in a concert in the Czech Republic more than two years ago has Randy Blythe in the hands of the the Czech Republic's justice system. The clip was originally aired yesterday (Saturday, June 30) as part of a TV report from Czech Republic's TV Nova.
**IMPORTANT**: It should be noted that the TV Nova report did not claim that this was, in fact, footage of actual stage jump that that led to the person's death. The performance clip was only included in the report to illustrate the behavior of Blythe and the fans during the concert.
As previously reported, 4 of 5 members of LAMB OF GOD — everyone except singer Randy
Blythe — returned home to Richmond, Virginia, less than four days after
Blythe was taken into custody in Prague.
Randy Blythe was arrested Wednesday (June 27) at the Prague airport on
manslaughter charges, was reportedly released on a 4 million Czech
Koruna bail (approximately $200,000 — an amount which, according to the
site, Randy claimed was the equivalent of his annual income). Since most
banks are closed this weekend, Blythe will be allowed to pay off his
bail on Monday (July 2). The singer, who did not speak at his hearing
and was "timid as a lamb", was considered a flight risk by the judge.
Blythe, 41, who was represented by two lawyers in court, is accused
of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010
show in Prague. The singer apparently either pushed or struck a
19-year-old fan named Daniel who had come on stage, and that person died
14 days later of bleeding in the brain.
According to
WTVR-TV, another Czech online news site, Aktualne.cz, has published
statements from a witness — a friend of the victim — who said the fan
wasn't using drugs or alcohol and fell back directly on his head. The
victim lapsed into a coma and died two weeks later.
The
crime of which Blythe is being accused is punishable by up to ten years
in prison, according to popular Czech news web site Novinky.cz. Here is
a picture of Randy Blythe in court.

Yesterday (Saturday, June 30), SLIPKNOT were forced to kick off their headlining musical circus at this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival without guitarist Jim Root, who is out of action while recovering from a burst appendix. Video of the bands performance is available below.
The band's set list was as follows:
01. (sic)
02. Eyeless
03. Sulfur
04. The Blister Exists
05. Wait and Bleed
06. Before I Forget

Yesterday's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival concert in San Bernardino had a record-breaking attendance of 26,105 — 4,000 more than the previous attendance record set by the tour.
"It always is [tough] when you've got more than one or two records, and it's hard for us to do live too", commented SLIPKNOT percussionist Chris Fehn during an interview with Loudwire.com. "We're not sure what we want to do NEW and what we can play live, what we can't play live cause a lot of it has to do with Jim not being here and stuff like that, which is a big hole in the SLIPKNOT camp right now, but it's always a good problem to have [deciding which songs to feature]. Sometimes what we want, what the fans want, it's a whole different situation. It is difficult, but there'll be more to come."

LAMB OF GOD Return Home Without Randy Blythe!
Last night, 4 of 5 members of LAMB OF GOD — everyone except singer Randy Blythe — returned home to Richmond, Virginia, less than four days after Blythe was taken into custody in Prague, Czech Republic in connection with the death of a fan more than two years ago. Mark Morton (guitarist) posted the following twit:
"Finally HOME! 4/5 of us anyway. I can't wait to give Randy a big bear hug and kiss his pointy, stubbly face! Thanx for all the support y'all! Flooded with questions about Randy. I truly understand and appreciate [your] concern. But it would be irresponsible for me to comment on any of it. Again…. thank y'all SOOOO much for your love and support during these difficult times. It means the world to us."
Randy Blythe was arrested Wednesday (June 27) at the Prague airport on manslaughter charges, was reportedly released on a 4 million Czech Koruna bail (approximately $200,000 — an amount which, according to the site, Randy claimed was the equivalent of his annual income). Since most banks are closed this weekend, Blythe will be allowed to pay off his bail on Monday (July 2).

SLIPKNOT Guitarist Forced To Miss Mayhem Shows Due To A Medical Emergency!
Here is some pretty shitty news for all the SLIPKNOT fans, A.K.A. the "maggots". "We're sorry to announce that our brother Jim Root [guitar] will not be performing with us at [Rockstar Energy Drink] Mayhem [Festival] today in San Bernardino due to serious health issues. Jim has been seriously sick for the past two weeks and went to the hospital last week where he was advised that his appendix burst a couple weeks before and that it could have been life-threatening. Jim is at home recovering and is awaiting surgery to have pieces of his appendix removed and hopes to join the tour as soon as he is able. SLIPKNOT will continue to headline the Mayhem festival and all other shows. We refuse to let our fans down and will not miss a single date. We will miss Jim greatly and our thoughts are with him. Jim sends his love to each and every one of our fans."
Please send your positive vibes to Jim Root! \m/
