    One of the few musical interviewers who actually works hard on his job, and it really shows. Congratulations.

    50 pages into "Dark Days." Love it and love Randy. Depth of character most couldn't fathom. He could have walked away and stayed away but instead he marched into the dragon's den willingly and cleared his name and gave the victim's family closure. A class act.

    Randy, this honestly has been one of the best videos on youtube Iven ever seen. I'm a heroin addict from a small town in PA, and to hear someone as noticed as you, say you'll be and alcoholic for the rest of your life really hit home. Because we're on two totally different sides of the fence, but oh, how we area alike. Randy, I love you and you keep me going..... As a heroin addict, I always think about drining but its hard.... Keep going brother!!!

    What a great interview. Respect to Graham for actually asking real questions. He is by far one of the best interviewers I've seen, because he's really invested in his guests. I will buy this book. LoG for life!

    Met Randy and the rest of the LoG guys at their soundcheck in Fresno, CA back in '07. All Cool, down-to-earth dudes. Fast-forward to 2012 at Rock im Park Festival in Germany...awesome show...I even recall Randy running all over the stage getting photos of Steel Panther during their set....and then LoG just nailed their set like always...then all this madness befell them while in Europe that summer. Was glad to contribute in a small way to help alleviate Randy's legal expenses. Fast-forward to 2015 and I'm on my honeymoon in Mexico sitting by the pool reading this book. I am not a reader, but LoG as a whole intrigues me....for whatever it's worth, get this book....it tells an honest story that is interesting because it gives a glimpse into reality and true character....things that are very lacking today

    I believe the kid who's sadly passed would kinda be proud to have Randy write a song about that night he died.
    That's a little twisted I know. and no one should ever die at a show. My condolences for the family of the kid and to Randy I'm grateful it turned out right and truth won the day.

      Whatever the fuck that means? Do u mean they need to mix it better so u can hear it better or what? U have a volume button, how about u turn it up or buy headphones, jackass.

    • @genderqueergorehound
      @genderqueergorehound 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Taylor Rivera I've had the problem too, to be frank. He's not just being a jackass. I've had the volume all the way up to 100% on both TH-cam and my laptop itself and sometimes I still can't hear shit without headphones. And even with headphones sometimes all I hear is muttering. Besides, OP could just be very hard of hearing. Maybe they had an accident that fucked with their eardrums or something. You never know.

    • @MXMarcosX
      @MXMarcosX 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    @Corntron5000 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the coolest part about this all is randy was rich, not taking life seriously, then he went to prison and got a reality check. Came back out more real than ever. It takes a lot to publicly tell your fan base that you’re not really a metal head, I was a metal head in middle school and high school, guess what guys, heading towards thirty and I play my acoustic more than my electric. I’m a big enough fan of lamb of god to be watching this but at the same time I love punk, ska (to a fucking extent LOL), I respect Ed Sheerans talent, high school me would kick my ass for that.!

      1. Lamb already have a song AND DVD called that
      2. He says in one of the other loudwire that the book doesn't have almost anything to do with music so titling it that would probably be misleading.
