I had the privilege of meeting him when they were touring As The Palaces Burn in 2003, I was 20 years old. My friend and I wanted to meet them so I went up to the bus and knocked on the door and asked if anyone in Lamb of God wanted to smoke a joint with us. The bus driver said sorry and maybe come back after the show. We walked off and as we were walking away, we noticed Chris coming from the back of the bus and talking to the driver. The driver opens the door back up and says, "I just got yelled at for telling you guys no". So we got on the bus and hung out for a while, watched some TV and smoked a joint. The band did not partake except for Mark, and Randy wasn't there, but out of everyone there Chris was by far the nicest and most personable. It will stick with me forever. Then I remember I started gushing over how much I love the band which lead to some awkwardness and me deciding it was time to go.
I worked at Axe Music in Edmonton and he came in for a clinic and autograph session. We were all lined up out the door and as he walked by he grabbed my hand, shook it and asked how I was doing. When I got to the front of the line I had a skull I wanted him to sign, I walked up and we had a real down to earth conversation about music and what my bands influences were and all this. He took the skull signed it with "Cam- Stay Metal, Chris Adler" then said, "that skull is metal as fuck dude. Rock on brother" then shook my hand again. That same night I went to their show and he saw me in the crowd and threw a drum stick at me. Unfortunately it hit the guy in front of me and was lost forever haha. Coolest fuckin guy ever
***** I think he only took one hit too, it was before their show so I think they usually don't get fucked up until after. Willie might have smoked but I don't remember.
Imagine how the drums would sound in space. the lack of gravity might make the cymbols continuously flop around and make them harder hit. the toms/snare might also sound weird because the only thing holding them together would be the screw lugs on the sides
The more bands worry about the fans, the worst it is!!! In the Pantera days, stage diving and shit, and everyone was happy!! The forbiden fruit is the most desireable!!!
alienspaceshaman Yes, I know, but that was besides the point. It was still essentially the Pantera era and the era of Pantera had the same lax security that the Damageplan concert had.
***** Now that I have listened to the albums for 2 months I can honestly say, holy fucking shit. It's so good, thanks for the recommendation! It's a good band to shift from prog metal and rock back and forth, good shit.
Avoid this event?? Stage diving is not that dangerous, at least not to the point where it is life threatening, some times people will die no matter where no matter from what, it's like nsaing the concerts
Will you be comfortable playing on stage and watching people stage dive knowing that someone died doing that in one of your shows and after the literal hell that one of your band members went through because of it though? I totally understand Chris and while stage diving is fun, it's not a thing I would do at one of their shows, out of respect.
2:07 Wow, how dumb can you get from watching too much science fiction? Sorry to disappoint you, mr. interviewer, but there's no way to play on the moon, because there wouldn't be any medium through which sound would propagate. Sound is a mechanical wave, thus it needs media. Just remember, everyone: in space, no sound or spacecraft combustion. Not to make such mistakes.
Great interview, Chris is such a good guy.
There wasn't a doubt in my mind that Chris would be a great interview, but damn, really chatty and informative. Really good interview!
Chris's beard is so motherfucking awesome. He is also one of the greatest metal drummers. This is also a really great and informative interview
Chris seems like a seriously awesome, kind and chill dude. I'd love to meet him someday.

Lamb of God was the band that got me into metal. I'm glad I had the opportunity to help Randy get out of jail with the white house petition form.
The interviewer looks like Sid from Ice Age
Hahahahaha
This is the best comment I've ever seen
Adrian B. Bahahahhaa
I laughed really loud at this
This guy talks all cool, normal tone, frank way of saying,
But goes completely bananas on the drums on stage !
Chris is so well spoken. Great interview.
great interview! :O
Saw him with megadeth in mumbai... WHAT A BEAST!!!
He's a really good speaker.
Imagine a fucking mosh pit in space. hahahaha
7 people hate this....Really if u don't like something...move on bro...why dislike...\m/
2:23 Chris' smile reminds me of John Petrucci. \m/
Do it Chris! I want to see that lOG Concert in space... But fuck the Pay-Per-View I want to be there!
good interview

+wishuhadmyname There is no sound in space....
+James Bargar Being in space in a space craft with air and simply being in vacume isn't the same... *facepalm*
Holy shitballs 0:20 ,not for the faint hearted
All I can is ..Lamb Of God.Fuckin Rocks! They Respect Metal.! And they Respect others that play it. How can you not respect that?
Imagine if they actually did a metal show in space
Imagine if this guy join metallica ... Dude !!!
Goodbye lars lol
Wicked 88 way too advanced for Metallica.... I don't think the band could even write material that would work with Chris's talent!
The more bands worry about the fans, the worst it is!!!
In the Pantera days, stage diving and shit, and everyone was happy!!
The forbiden fruit is the most desireable!!!
Yeah, the good old Pantera days where the security was so good that you could walk on stage and shoot a band member to death!
***** damageplan not pantera
alienspaceshaman
Yes, I know, but that was besides the point. It was still essentially the Pantera era and the era of Pantera had the same lax security that the Damageplan concert had.
I don't think so. I rarely think that pantera had anybody run past security to get on stage
Chris looks like he could be John Petrucci's brother
What's that song at the beginning? The one with the crazy drum fills.
Dying Fetus-Praise the Lord (Opiate of the Masses) off Destroy the Opposition. Would you like me turn burn the Cd for you? ;)
***** goddamn I love that fucking album.
Triple
Dude me Too Although Descend Into depravity has been my favorite lately.
***** Now that I have listened to the albums for 2 months I can honestly say, holy fucking shit. It's so good, thanks for the recommendation! It's a good band to shift from prog metal and rock back and forth, good shit.
Haha Lamb of God on the moon!! That would be awesome lol.
Is your beard real, Chris?
What's the song at the start!?
MaximusPRIME desolation
cheers
OMf'nG!!! Could u imagine Lamb of God playing in freaking space?!?!?! How cool'd that be??? \m/
Rock on assfucks!!
Pablo Siever zero G wall of death.. bodies floating away. we would all need to be tied together hahaha..
I just can't get over how weird looking Rob looks. He looks like GTA 3's main character.
What's the movie called?
As The Palaces Burn. Its going to come out on DVD soon I hope. It documents how metal effect people in different countries around the world.
