Randy Blythe

Just thought I would get a discution about this going.

Roofer?

I remember from back in the Burn The Priest days that it was said that Randy was working as a roofer at one time. Is this true?

Yes, for a little while in 1999/2000. So was Mark.

Randy mostly did food service, though. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.197.9.48 (talk)

"Death metal style" voice?

You've got to be joking. This is a total distorted yell, akin to the kind found in metalcore. --Ryouga 22:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's awsome, a one of a kind scream, not a distorted yell,,, no respect... Damn long live -Lamb of God- and the congregation!!!

I don't think that its metalcore AT ALL. --Iron bob 03:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's obvious that Randy is the epitome of the modern metal vocal style. The conjunction of the "cookie-monster" and prog-metal vocal styles sets Randy apart from his contemporaries. While other modern metal vocalists vacillate between a traditional melodic and a purely visceral style, Randy combines both approaches into a uniquely aggressive but melodic vocal style. Evidence of his recent vocal growth can be heard on tracks like "Descending", "Requiem" and "More Time to Kill". Nerdler 09:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)nerdler[reply]

Not metalcore at all... D.Mather 22:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Blythe's voice cannot be alone associated with a type of metal, without the rest of the band's music behind it. You can tell it is an extreme metal voice, but that is a very general term. You may rule out what it is missing. It is missing high pitched screams of black metal, it isn't as deep when compared to singers such as George Fisher or Glen Benton, and it isn't as clean and "young" sounding at metalcore singers.--Gmunnywhiskers (talk) 03:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bull whips?

He collects bull whips, which he "uses to great effect"? WTF does that mean? 4.131.51.168 16:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep thats true, I think its on the killadelphia dvd extras where it says he collects them and is shown fooling around with 1. C.Davis —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.33.165.66 (talk) 09:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the Walk With Me In Hell DVD, Randy sneaks whips past security in Europe. Willie wants to learn how to whip, so he's standing in the bus lot beating himself up with the whip. LOL.
