I moved to RVA in August of 1998 and quickly found out about them, some of those BTP shows were insane and I'm so glad I can say I've been there since the early days before LoG. Even better is to see Randy clean, sober and seemingly in a great place in life these days.
Texan here. Lived in the Hampton Roads/VA Beach area for a while. Spent a lot of time at the Norva and a bit at the National. Great scene. Some of the bands I listen to most are out of Richmond like Municipal Waste and Windhand.
He’s arguably one of the best metal vocalists in the game he doesn’t have to “try.” “Trying” to be something is what a poser does. Sometimes you get to choose your path but sometimes your path chooses you.
The metal and punk rock scene in the late 90s and early 2000s was nothing short of amazing growing up in the 757 and 804. I would relive those days over and over again if I could. The support in that area between bands and from fans was IMMENSE. To this day it is like one big family. Every few years when I fly home from Cali it’s like I never left. There is so much love there that never leaves. Lamb of God, Gwar, Municipal Waste, Arsis and many others have remained true to their roots and approachable. There truly is no place like home. Much love VA! I miss you dearly.
Ah, Gwar, Lamb of God, Municple Waste | Iron Reagan.....was on rotation for me. I heard amazing music and only had to travel 30 minutes. I am so grateful to have been a small part of it.
For Randy to even mention the guy Mikey who helped him out is truly incredible. And it really shows just how great of a person Randy is. He never forgot where he came from and he NEVER took anything for granted. The band the claw was an amazing band. And it was very devastating losing the guy. Especially in the way it happened
Good interview. Brings back memories. I remember putting out our first 7”, submitting it to Maximum Rock n Roll, review was “Sounds like Jawbreaker, but not nearly as good”. Touring in an old beat up van listening to Avail constantly. Good times.
Being in a DIY band for almost a decade I can assure you money always plays into releasing music. Especially if you all have families and jobs. It’s definitely a labor of love and sacrifice.
i love that Randy Blythe and Alexi Laiho both started out as punks. I know so many metal dudes that hate on punk rock, and im like "DUDE! So much metal stems from PUNK!!"
Richmond VA is my hometown. I don't live there anymore (I still live in Virginia) but this video gave me a bit of pride. I loved going to shows at The Metro & The Flood Zone back in the day.
Honestly I haven’t even heard the last couple albums. However I vividly remember years ago I had dinner with my brother for his birthday. We went to our local Best Buy and looked around afterwards. On a whim I bought the Sacrament album. I had been hearing about the band for a couple of years. About 30 seconds into “Walk with me in Hell” I had an epiphany. “This is the most violent thing I’ve heard since Pantera Far beyond Driven”. Warm fuzzy memories of chilling with my little brother and discovering some damn violent music. 😀
Hell yah. I have a lifelong friend of 10+ years now, a friendship based entirely on playing guitar and loving lamb of god. No better foundation for being buddies
I’ll never forget hearing Ashes for the first time and I also had an epiphany! I was already a big fan of rock & some metal but I had never heard anything like it and by the time the final track was over Remorse is for the Dead….my mind exploded! Been a fan ever since…
My Randy Blythe moment was going to the former Richmond Festival Best Friends Day which is by a man made lake. In a beachside tent in the middle of the afternoon as 3 stages are raging close by, Randy is sitting there sipping a beer and reading a book with the thickest glasses I've ever seen. We talked southern gothic literature for 15 mins and I let him be. Will be eternally grateful for that and all the good he's done for Richmond and our scene.
So cool that Randy comes from the skater punk world. I think that’s part of why LOG always had respect and intrigue in the hardcore and punk atmosphere. Damn. Now I’m reminiscing and missing being a kid on a skateboard haha
DUDE!I hung out at The Caboose back in the day! I saw some awesome metal shows there in the 90's. The place got shut down and became a lawnmower repair shop. Thanks for the memories!
Not a metal dude outside of some late 80's early 90's thrash fests in Portland OR. Have really enjoyed the couple of videos I've watched! Love the perspective and the commitment and especially the love of music shown. Cheers!
L.O.G is my all time favorite band. Hell even my 2 1/2 yr old Son loves them. He jams out and head bangs to other stuff. But not like he does to Lamb Of God. He digs the killadelphia DVD alot too. Seriously he gets pissed off if you interrupt his Killadelphia time.🤘🏼💀
Been listening to LOG since the Burn The Priest days, i was very stoned and strolled into HMV ... they used to have listening stations and I happened to come across this album... my god...i stood there for an hour listening to it.. saved up money and bought the cd the following week.
Almost every band's origin is extremely hard. Nowadays internet helps a lot but yet growing up is still difficult because there's too much to compete with out there
The internet is the greatest gift for music, but also the greatest curse. It opens doors for young bands to get them self out there. But it also turns talented musicians, into a dime a dozen. You can spend 5 minutes online, and discover 10 new bands, that you really like. But you won't remember any band names, you wont buy a cd, you wont buy a shirt. You will just add a few songs to a play list, that you will randomly come across on shuffle.
Remember seeing a video of him after a show arguing with the guitarist or somebody, they start fighting and bearded dude knocks him clean out. Camera runs up on Blythe while he's on the ground and yup, eyes shut out cold. I suspect everyone was thoroughly inebriated, that never helps.
Randys cool as Hell. I wish I could have ran across him when I use to go and stay weeks at a time in VA. I've heard him talk about Franklin VA., and that's where a lot of my family are from and they are Blythe's and Harrison's. Who knows, I might be kin to Randy somewhere down the line. I even have the Blythe Family Cookbook, somewhere in my mess of a house. I live in Eastern NC, but shit, that's only 2 hours away from Franklin. He's right about the back roads in VA too, I wish I could remember the interview where he's talking about it, but the back roads in Franklin are unmarked, narrow, and curves like crazy. That's where I learned to drive. If you can drive them old roads, you shouldn't have a problem driving anywhere else. And working in VA, is the only time I've been ate up by Red Bugs. Anyone from the sticks probably know about Red Bugs. I'm gonna quit rambling on now, LOG helped get me through some tough times, and those bands that help us, we will always love and appreciate. Peace
Growing up, Metallica and Pantera was life. First heard Metallica from my neighbor who lent me the "One" vhs tape after hearing him blast it from his truck. KNAC was the station that taught me everything metal and eventually Headbangers Ball. To me, no one would ever knock them off my mantle. Then heard LoG New American Gospel and since then no one has come close to knocking them off the hill. When i first heard Burn the Priest while researching lamb of god, i actually got scared a little of what i heard. It resonated with me though and over the years, to see the growth of this band album after album, i feel truly blessed by the Metal Gods to have grown up with them being the soundtrack of my life.
Randy was literally a hobo, no shame in that though because hobos work and fend for themselves. There has been a resurgence of people hopping trains since CV19. I’m from Altoona PA and we are proud to be the biggest locomotive manufacturer on the entire planet.
I saw LOG supporting Slayer in July 2002 at London Astoria. They completely blew me away - I've been a fan ever since. I've seen them a bunch of times over the years (including with Slayer at Brixton Academy and years later in Newcastle).
In the early 90s in RVA, in a club called Twisters, I was young teen and my band, Accursed, opened for BTP. I remember watching their singer and thinking “wow”.
Awesome to see Steve Austin get his due respect! Been a TITD fan since high school, remember when Lamb of God and Mastodon came out, and both likely would not exist without him. Not to mention he has earned the respect of everyone from Kittie to Wrest of Leviathan, who has worked with them. If you do not know Today is the Day, take an afternoon off, no distractions, put on Sadness Will Prevail after consuming whatever is necessary, and experience something completely unique, unreal, and visceral. You won't be the same, if you make it through almost three hours of losing your freaking mind!
A friend and I, and like 13 other people, were at The Caboose show. One of the best shows I've seen there. BtP totally murdered the whole time. Randy was drunk af and kept forgetting his lines. Legendary stuff.
My band Crowskull was entirely DIY like Randy was saying out here in Seattle in a scene that was dwindling and dying and after 3 years we crumbled, never got a chance to really take our music anywhere other then the local bar/club scene and it was pretty devastating, it’s incredibly hard to be a struggling musician no doubt
Did the same thing out here in Seattle/Tacoma for 4 years to like you said a dwindling and dying scene. Sucked watching club/bar after club/bar that would have metal bands shut down. Now there is nothing out here it seems like!
@@dogknot13 it was fading out big time when we were active between 2015-2018 and there was no camaraderie amongst bands everyone was down to cut each other’s throats for attention, and then covid killed the scene completely, probably for good
Twisters, The Flood Zone, The Factory...I spent a bit of time in the Richmond music scene back in the mid-90s and miss it. Mostly punk at the time, got into LoG in the late 2000s and, despite knowing of GWAR, didn't become a Bohab until early 2002. My crowning moment was getting kicked out of a GWAR New Year's show at the Canal Zone in 2005/2006... 😬
Forgive me for gushing over one of my favorite metal vocalist but, oh my god Randy is one of the greatest extreme vocalist in metal ever!! His tambre his tone his delivery, the unbelievable amount of time he can hold a scream he's phenomenal!! If Revolver does a episode about Jens Kidman they will have covered 2 of the best extreme vocalists of the last 20 years.
Unreal…🤘🏽..as a huge LOG ..fan from the beginning..I did discover Burn the Priest…☝🏾.. Which..as Randy said in this video.. has such a punk..hardcore sound.. and attitude..Which undeniably..is the backbone of burn the priest.. I totally treat these bands as separate entities..Burn the Priest.. is so fukin..rad ..🤘🏽 And should never be put on the shelf..! And ..Thanks Randy for explaining how the band got together..!
I'll never forget the first time I heard 11th hour. It was circa 2001. And I was perusing a car audio store. You know the ones with like 40 "decks" mounted to the wall and like 100 speakers? Well for some reason this tune came over the stereo and I was hooked.
2:04 - OMG I have and love that shirt! I never see it anywhere. I bought it for 5-10 bucks off a street vendor from a cardboard box on the sidewalk in New York City when I was filming me RNC convention protests (videos on my channel).
God DAMN I love Randy. Yeah, man, that's exactly it. You grind and grind and grind outta your own pocket, because it beats the shit outta everybody else's hobby. And maybe someday something comes from it.
So im watching bad brains at riot fest back in 2018. Now a days H.R. just stands there and snaps his fingers while he sings. Near the end of the set, Randy jumps out on stage and goes off doing lead vocals for the last three songs. What a guy!
Been listening since palaces...seen LOG first time at a 500 person club in San Diego at canes Pacific beach. Got launched off an aircraft carrier just for the show. Slayer was the next night at 4th and B.
I like that burning priest produced by Steve. I know they have remastered this album with Colin Richardson, but I kind a like that raw/low-fi sound Steve gave to Burn the Piest.
4:28 - I'm guessing he got scratched a little bit by a werewolf, so when it's a full moon he just grows a little patch of hair and his vocals get extra growly.
actually found the BTP album in a smoke shop in Springfield Missouri back in like 2006. It ended up being one of the few cds from bands early days I liked just as much as the new music. BTP definitely had its own thing and it was brutal as fuck.
Came up in the same Richmond music scene at the same time, and can corroborate everything he said. Was in a band called Kicked in Ribs and opened a show or two for Burn the Priest downtown in the mid- to late-1990s. We thought then they would go on to bigger and better things, and we were right.
I use to be into the music scene in VA (Williamsburg / Richmond), playing in bands, until I realized that I’m not a musician, I don’t really like musician “types”, & my passion was strictly about songwriting (writing the catchiest punk songs that I could possibly dream up, almost Sam Cooke inspired melodies). Also, the business side completely turned me off, I wasn’t willing to do all of the BS required to make the band into a brand / business. Bands today don’t even have to tour to promote themselves, they have so much more opportunity than we ever did. Now I’m bored & old, I never dreamed I’d live to see 40, old people are the absolute WORST.
I moved to RVA in August of 1998 and quickly found out about them, some of those BTP shows were insane and I'm so glad I can say I've been there since the early days before LoG. Even better is to see Randy clean, sober and seemingly in a great place in life these days.

Texan here. Lived in the Hampton Roads/VA Beach area for a while. Spent a lot of time at the Norva and a bit at the National. Great scene. Some of the bands I listen to most are out of Richmond like Municipal Waste and Windhand.
Was randy wild when he was hammered?
@@midnightstreetfighter2129 of course
It's metal when a man literally doesn't try to be metal at all but he's more metal than everyone else
Truest statement ever
Doubt that
He’s arguably one of the best metal vocalists in the game he doesn’t have to “try.” “Trying” to be something is what a poser does. Sometimes you get to choose your path but sometimes your path chooses you.
I always found that fascinating about Randy
Legendary
I hope there are more of these types of videos in the future.

RIP Alexi.
I know so many punks that clown on metal. But that was years ago when there was actually punk around.
RIP
Everything.
Thank you for your music! I’ve seen you and Mastodon several times in fact just last night at the Ashes of the Leviathan tour.
Get em Randy!! Been a Lamb of God fan since 2002 and will be forever. 🤘🤘 Lamb of God is a fucking way of life!!

just seen them a couple hours ago live with Megadeth, probably one of the best metal bands i've ever heard
Saw them last weekend, I was really surprised on how much they fucking slammed.
Nice..
They were pretty good
I saw them on 9/22/21 In Rodgers Arkansas
It was a great show
I bought my tickets damn near 2 years ago
Saw them with Slayer and again with Megadeth last week (9/22); lamb of god is a great band
@@garychambers5930 same here; it was a great show; I was so relieved when the show actually started

Nothing like hearing your favorite band recorded their first album in your home state. The rest is history 🤘🤘
Randy really is a pioneer at this point. His influence on the sound is massive.
Hell yeah
Can't believe I didn't know this was out till now
Thank you so much, Revolver, for sharing my videos!
Appreciate it a lot 🤘🏽🙏🏼

8:45 Goatfish is one of my favorite songs from BTP/LOG! 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
I can listen to Randy tell any story any day. LOG has been my favorite band for a long time!
4:21-6:00 is some of the best advice I’ve ever heard
I saw LOG supporting Slayer in July 2002 at London Astoria. They completely blew me away - I've been a fan ever since. I've seen them a bunch of times over the years (including with Slayer at Brixton Academy and years later in Newcastle).
lol I like how Randy is slowly turning into Keith Morris.
Right lol
You mean Kieth Richards
In his wettest dreams
omg.!!! I thought the same fucking thing.long live circle jerks. I wonder if he still does have long ass dreads.
@@kevinmitchell4018 he does lol
Funny is, many of my peeps loved PTP! Its LOG 1, thats all. I feel lucky to have spent some personal time with Ran.
In the early 90s in RVA, in a club called Twisters, I was young teen and my band, Accursed, opened for BTP. I remember watching their singer and thinking “wow”.
Inspiring! Reminds us of our own troubled history, without the success of course. Lol.
This band changed everything for me! Much respect!
And that album still holds up
Awesome to see Steve Austin get his due respect! Been a TITD fan since high school, remember when Lamb of God and Mastodon came out, and both likely would not exist without him. Not to mention he has earned the respect of everyone from Kittie to Wrest of Leviathan, who has worked with them.

3:55 (the second jump) THAT IS PRECIOUS
I could listen to Randy talk forever
Very cool mad props You give them a shout disassociate and Ralphie !

👍
I can DEFINITELY hear a hardcore punk influence in his vocals❤🤟
Mikey Brosnan was one of my best friends in High School, he was one of the kindest and most enthusiastic guys I ever knew. RIP, brother. We miss you.
Ahhh the old days of RVA. Super gritty house parties and Twisters, when Grace Street wasn't VCU.

Still one of my favorite albums of all time to this day! 💪🏻
Loved that Randy! Hope there is more to come

Check out Tallah. Just Bonnitz is one of the most versatile up and coming vocalists in metal.
A sudden Brann Dailor appears. Was not expecting him to show up, I wanna hear more about that.
F*CK YES 🤘☢️☠️ I felt like I had acquired true gold when I bought the Burn The Priest album with the black cover
Unreal…🤘🏽..as a huge LOG ..fan from the beginning..I did discover Burn the Priest…☝🏾..

This man is a national treasure.
Saw lamb of god on metal tour of the year in Phoenix and they put out one helluva show
Laid to rest is one of the greatest songs ever written.
🤘🏻 Randy is the voice of Heavy Metal 🤘🏻
Having used MMR and BYOFL to book tours, I was laughing out loud at Randy’s recollection of those days.
your words are quite a bit harder to distinguish.
But other than that, Damn good job dude! x x
God DAMN I love Randy. Yeah, man, that's exactly it. You grind and grind and grind outta your own pocket, because it beats the shit outta everybody else's hobby. And maybe someday something comes from it.
Seen lamb of god at least 10 times, they never disappoint 🤘🏻
Met these guys in 2008 at an autograph signing followed by a show with Bodom and As I Lay Dying. Fucking AMAZING show
Saw that tour at the tabernacle in Atlanta
Killer Lineup !!!
FUCK YES me too, At the Pageant in St Louis Missouri. LoG, as I lay dying , c.o.b, god forbid and municipal waste
Wow forgot that municipal waste and god forbid were the other two bands. Wow good memory on you
So im watching bad brains at riot fest back in 2018. Now a days H.R. just stands there and snaps his fingers while he sings. Near the end of the set, Randy jumps out on stage and goes off doing lead vocals for the last three songs. What a guy!
8:47 song name ?
Goatfish
Been listening since palaces...seen LOG first time at a 500 person club in San Diego at canes Pacific beach. Got launched off an aircraft carrier just for the show. Slayer was the next night at 4th and B.
Outdo song title is “Bloodletting” if anyone was curious
Youre my favorite metal singer Mr Blythe
4:05 what song? don’t recognize it
I actually got to see them in Milwaukee as Burn The Priest. Amazing.
I saw Burn the Priest's first show at the Moondance Saloon in 1995.
Lucky. I was 2.
I think of Rock n Roll and Jamison when I think of Moondance. Good stuff.
Hahaha. Just realized this was you Dr.J!! ❤️
What's the riff @1:05
I got to see LOG open for Byzantine in Charleston West Virginia!
Randy is a legend. Big love!
Kinda thought he’d mention buzzöven when referencing Richmond
I like that burning priest produced by Steve. I know they have remastered this album with Colin Richardson, but I kind a like that raw/low-fi sound Steve gave to Burn the Piest.
Randy narrates my nightmares, i hear him in my sleep
4:28 - I'm guessing he got scratched a little bit by a werewolf, so when it's a full moon he just grows a little patch of hair and his vocals get extra growly.
What’s the song at 0:30?
The Killchain-Bolt Thrower
@@Super265750 thanks a lot
actually found the BTP album in a smoke shop in Springfield Missouri back in like 2006. It ended up being one of the few cds from bands early days I liked just as much as the new music. BTP definitely had its own thing and it was brutal as fuck.
What song is 8:48
Isn't thing an old interview when they released legion xx?
Please do more videos like this
This is a really humble story from one of the most legendary voices in death metal history
Both of you are drunk.
It’s new wave of heavy metal
Came up in the same Richmond music scene at the same time, and can corroborate everything he said. Was in a band called Kicked in Ribs and opened a show or two for Burn the Priest downtown in the mid- to late-1990s. We thought then they would go on to bigger and better things, and we were right.
Your concert from 2 days ago was sick
Love the fact Randy mentions math rock lol
Always love hearing the origins of bands so interesting lamb of god has been fuckin killer for a long time
Just saw these guys live at knotfest. They were absolutely brutal live
I use to be into the music scene in VA (Williamsburg / Richmond), playing in bands, until I realized that I’m not a musician, I don’t really like musician “types”, & my passion was strictly about songwriting (writing the catchiest punk songs that I could possibly dream up, almost Sam Cooke inspired melodies). Also, the business side completely turned me off, I wasn’t willing to do all of the BS required to make the band into a brand / business. Bands today don’t even have to tour to promote themselves, they have so much more opportunity than we ever did. Now I’m bored & old, I never dreamed I’d live to see 40, old people are the absolute WORST.
Anyone know the song @6:02?
Ruiner
@@rafaelcastaneda3139 🤘
...and yet... it's F**KING AWESOME!
Whats that track name he did with Steve
In my opinion. Lamb of god picked up where pantera left of. Thank you 🤘🤘🤘🤘
