Randy Blythe is "Disgusted"!

Lamb of God's friendly frontman Randy Blythe recently released a statement declaring that he has "never been more disgusted with an audience" in his life more than he was this past Friday (the 14th) when his band performed in Medford, Oregon.
Apparently what happened was that Randy asked the crowd to give 60 seconds of silence during their set to pay respects to all victims of the Connecticut school shooting.  I am sure you can get what happened next- the crowd failed to comply.   Well, actually it was only a small handful of people who couldn't seem to shut up, but it was enough to piss Randy off.  He responded by hitting up Instagram  and writing the following message:    (after the jump...)

"I have never been more disgusted with an audience in my life. I wish we hadn't played.  We, LAMB OF GOD, asked for sixty seconds of silence during our first set break to honor the dead children and teachers in Connecticut. It seemed appropriate — it's a goddamned national TRAGEDY.
"Most of the crowd complied, but several didn't, some cursing and even laughing.
"I wanted to walk off stage.

"I am so disgusted right now.
"If you were one of those who wouldn't shut up for SIXTY LOUSY SECONDS to honor twenty MURDERED CHILDREN, go look in the mirror. You are looking at a piece of shit. Your parents are obviously pieces of shit too, because they raised you to behave with no dignity.

"To the fans who were respectful, I thank you. I am also sorry you have so many goddamned assholes in your community. You should do something about that.
"This shit would not have happened at a Lamb Of God show where I live, and that is a FACT. We have more manners.

"I am just disgusted. Thoroughly DISGUSTED. You yelling people give metal a band name. Screw that, you give humanity a bad name. Grow up. Your parents should have beaten some manners into you, you savage little beasts.

"With that, I will go to bed, say a prayer for those suffering, and hope for a better day tomorrow, because tonight SUCKED."

Damn, he really was PO'ed.   I bet he'd like to take all those noisy bastards and throw them off of his stage.

I gotta say though- As much as I recognize that what happened is Conn. is beyond a tragedy, I think Mr. Blythe is being a bit harsh considering that he was asking for silence from what was probably a drunk and rowdy metal crowd.  Besides, most people did shut up, so he shouldn't write off the entire city.
