Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe has been indicted on manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic, according to the band's manager, Larry Mazer. Blythe faced charges tied to a 2010 incident in Prague when a fan who repeatedly came onstage was pushed, fell and eventually died. Blythe has also maintained that if he were to be charged, he would return to the Czech Republic to stand trial, and Mazer confirmed Blythe will defend himself in the case.



"We believe that Randy responded professionally to the numerous amount of fans rushing the stage that day, a number of them captured on videos that have been posted on the internet," Mazer said in a statement. "We have testimony from the venue operator that acknowledges lax security and an improper barricade being used that evening. Numerous testimonies from fans also were contradictory as to the actions of the multiple fans that tried to access the stage."

whether or not they ran on stage he shouldn't have pushed him off the stage, so yeah he deserves what ever he gets

Bullshit. You really think it was his intention to push him off the stage and injure him? The guy should have had the common sense not to be an asshole and keep coming on the stage. He pushed him away to get him off the stage and he fell. Shit happens. If someone you don't know forces their way into your house, you try to remove them, and then fall and die, would you think you deserve to be charged with manslaughter? It's basically the same situation and it's ridiculous.

It'd be a shame to see Randy go to prison for this, but it seems more and more likely.

Is this new?

I thought he'd been released and was back in the US?

the guy should never have been on stage. after what happened to Dimebag I don't blame Randy Blythe for what he did.
