Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe - 5 Tips For Aspiring Musicians!

Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God is considered one of the top vocalists in Heavy Music today. Revolver Magazine, recently unleashed their 100th issue and in order to make this very special issue a BIG hit, they decided to pay tribute to the '100 Greatest Living Rock Stars'. During this special feature, Revolver Magazine asked Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe to offer some useful advice for aspiring musicians.

1. “Get a college degree.”

2. “Be nice to everyone. Don’t act like an entitled fuck because the people you see on the way up are going to be the same people you see on the way down. And you never know what’s gonna happen. There are no guarantees in this business. It could all disappear tomorrow and if your career goes down the shitter you might need to call in a few favors. Maybe someone needs a new band member, and if you’ve been nice to them, maybe they’ll think of you, but if you were a dick, that’s all they’ll remember.”

3. “Treat your crew with respect. They’re the reason you aren’t schlepping your own gear anymore.”

4. “Don’t trash the fucking dressing room at the venue, unless the owner of the venue is a complete asshole, because somebody has to come in there and clean it up. It might be someone’s grandma.”

5. “Don’t blow your money on a bunch of stupid shit like drugs and alcohol if you can help it. Save some. Again, there is no guarantee in this business. There’s no pension plan or retirement fund. One day you aren’t going to be the shit anymore and you aren’t gonna have a band. You can’t go on tour and make money. So don’t buy an Escalade, get a goddamn used Honda. I’ve never owned a new car in my life. I bought a nice Toyota truck with not that many miles on it last year. That’s the nicest thing I’ve ever bought.”

Lamb Of God is set to release their seventh studio entitled "Resolution" and it is set to be released on January 24, 2012 via Epic Records (one day earlier internationally through Roadrunner). The CD was producer Josh Wilbur, who worked on the band's last effort, 2009's "Wrath".
