LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe wants to make it to the 30 year mark
Randy recently sat down with Metal Hammer magazine and spoke about how much longer he thinks he can front the Richmond, VA metal act. He said: “I haven’t seen that exit ramp yet. 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 nobody needs to see 70-year-old Randy Blythe up onstage jumping around and yelling ‘this is a motherfucking invitation.”
Blythe, who is now 51 years of age, continued: “I’m such a physical performer; that’s what it is for me. Total physical immersion in our music. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do that. I know for a fact that, unless something horrible happens, if we make it to 2025, that’ll be 30 years of the band. I gotta make it to 30 years, and I think my body can take that.”
Back in 2015, Randy spoke with Revolver about when he thinks LAMB OF GOD should pack it up.
“I’m not going to be doing this when I’m fucking 60 — no fucking way,” he said. “We’re not THE [ROLLING] STONES.”
He added: “I’m always going to be doing music, but not something quite so aggressive, I’m sure.
“I don’t think LAMB OF GOD ever has to break up,” he clarified. “I think we can, like, gracefully move out to pasture.”
