Dark Days | D. Randall Blythe
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading
The incredible memoir from Lamb of God frontman, Randy Blythe. In 2010, a nineteen-year-old super-fan rushed the stage during a Lamb of God concert in Prague. To protect himself, singer Randy Blythe pushed the fan away. Unbeknownst to Blythe, the young man hit his head on the floor when he fell and later died from the injury. Blythe was promptly incarcerated on charges carrying a prison term of five to ten years. Thirty-seven days later, he was released on bail to await trial. Although legal experts told him not to return to the Czech Republic to face the charges, Blythe explained that he eoecould not run away from this problem while the grieving family of a dead young man searched hopelessly for answers that [he] might help provide.e After a five-day trial, he was acquitted on March 5, 2013. In Dark Days, Blythe tells the story of his incarceration and the wild life that led up to it. As he explains, eoeMost substance abuse books end with the author getting sober. My book starts there.e

Oh man. That end to the chapter. There's a lot of emotion in that last few sentences.

This book is an absolute chore to read because of how verbose it is. But Randy really drops the reader in his shoes and takes them for a ride of every possible emotion.

Mehso-so

I have a list of books mentioned by #NikkiSixx (Motley Crue) & this is one of them. Written by lead singer of Lamb of God about his 37 days in a Czech prison accused of manslaughter after a fan died after being pushed off stage. It was good but I'm giving it a so-so for being waaaaay too wordy. How many pages wasted trying to explain that he does NOT see himself as a rock star?🙄

Cinfhen Interesting! 7y
CocoReads Ooh, I'd be interested in that list! I ❤️ Nikki Sixx. All my friends listed after Vince and Tommy but I've always been a Nikki girl. 🤘🎸 7y
Jinjer @CocoReads currently the list is handwritten over many pages in a book journal. If I ever get it typed up I will see if you want me to email it to you. 7y
CocoReads No worries Jinjer! I do stuff like that too. 7y
