Blythe Reveals Goal He Wants to Surpass Before Lamb of God Retire

The finish ultimately comes for all bands, and Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe has opened up to Metal Hammer about his performing future in a brand new interview, admitting he is undecided how lengthy he can proceed, however including a minimum of one purpose he needs to cross earlier than his time onstage with the group comes to an finish.

“I haven’t seen that exit ramp yet,” says Blythe, when requested about what the long run held for him. “That’s very specific to Lamb of God too – not to music in general, as I plan on making music for as long as I possibly can.” But, as Blythe provides, “Nobody needs to see 70-year-old Randy Blythe up onstage jumping around and yelling, ‘This is a motherfucking invitation.'”

The singer continues, “I’m such a bodily performer, that’s what it’s for me. Total bodily immersion in our music. I don’t know the way lengthy I’ll find a way to try this. I do know for a undeniable fact that, until one thing horrible occurs, if we make it to 2025, that’ll be 30 years of the band. I gotta make it to 30 years, and I feel my physique can take that.” That said, while 30 years is a goal he’d like to pass within the band, there could always be plenty more.

Speaking of additional goals he’d like to achieve with Lamb of God, the vocalist adds that he still wants to play Vietnam to learn about the country’s history and eat great food, wants to go back to Africa and has a desire to play a gig on Antarctica. “Metallica are the one band which have finished that – rattling you Lars Ulrich,” says Blythe of that last goal.

So there’s still plenty of rocking days ahead for Blythe, including lots of touring still in support of the group’s newly released Omens album. They are currently wrapping up a U.S. tour leg with shows tonight in Houston and tomorrow in Irving, Texas before catching a breather and heading off to Europe for dates in November and December to finish out the year.
