More Randy Blythe news: Terror will be boycotting the Czech Republic, and I bet other bands will follow suit. I can't blame them, I'd be scared of getting locked up myself if I were them. After seeing the video of what happened in this case, I'm not sure why he's still locked up.

As everyone knows, Randy Blythe is currently in a Czech jail awaiting his fate regarding manslaughter charges stemming from him allegedly throwing a concertgoer off of the stage during a show.

The band issued a statement about the cancellation. It read as follows:

"Terror is going to cancel their show in the Czech Republic this month. We feel obligated to stand up for Randy Blythe. This situation seems to be taken too lightly. Randy comes from punk and hardcore roots, just like Terror. He still supports underground music and has always supported Terror-- even singing on stage alongside us when we play Richmond. This hits really close to home for us having members of the band and our crew from the hometown of Lamb of God."

We love our Czech fans very much and have amazing shows there, but we need to 'stick tight' to our friend Randy, which is why we have chosen to cancel the show. As a band that could easily be in this same position at any given show, we don't think we can play there and act like this is OK - it isn't."

This is bigger than a hashtag or a clever t-shirt-- we as a community need to take action and speak up. Free Randy Blythe."

Harrison Ford in Air Force One would never let this happen.

This is a major blow to the Czech government.

Way to take a retarded stand.

I don't think it's meant to be a major blow to the Gov't. It's more about just showing support for a friend. Plus they easily could be in the exact same situation. I wouldn't want to play there either.
One falls off
