Randy Blythe

Just thought I would get a discution about this going.

Well, he looks like an Orc in that photo: 'Get the little halflings!' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.7.248.131 (talk) 06:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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]

                                                        -Dhesil-

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.180.76 (talk) 17:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really?

"Randy is the epitome of the modern metalcore vocal style"

That statement is the epitome of POV190.213.111.139 (talk) 04:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Real name

What is his real name? I've seen everyithing on this wikipedia page from David Randall Swayze Blythe to David Randall Pierre Blythe... nothing has ever had citations. Anyone know his middle name or can cite something? I am removing all middle names until we can get something cited on the page. He is a huge Patrick Swayze fan but I doubt that's an actual middle name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.190.138.242 (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC) His real name is David Randall Blythe. Contrary to a recent statement on wikipedia he is not the brother of Cody Lundin. They are, however, good friends. He was 3 younger brothers.

Vandalism

It appears that the last sentence of the fifth paragraph has been vandalized and should be reverted to its previous form.

Blythe claims to have recorded Lamb of God's latest album, Wrath, completely sober, and now drinks non-alcoholic beverages as much as possible, which led to the album to become and a commercial and critical disaster.[citation needed]
