It's always a bad idea when a metal band messes with Prague rock. Yesterday, Czech authorities arrested Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe and charged him with manslaughter shortly before the band's scheduled show at the Prague Hard Rock Cafe.

The charges refer to an incident from a 2010 show at the Club Aberton in Prague, when a fan bum-rushed the stage and sustained injuries to his head after a fight with Blythe. Who started the fight? Was the fan just trying to give Blythe a hug? Has Blythe entered into an unholy covenant with Satan contingent on sacrificing a fan every two years? Details are still forthcoming.

Update: The band's publicist is saying that the fan in question tried to rush the stage twice before security pulled him back. The third time, Blythe pushed him back into the audience, where he hit his head (thanks, Darkst!)

You can generally tell a metalhead apart from an emo/scene kid by the way they attribute random acts of chance to Dio.

Death metal has a kinky side.

Some towns are so small that a purple plastic dinosaur is the most metal thing for miles around.

Such soulful facial expressions, I Cream Theater-ed my pants.

In all fairness, punk can't really compete based on the guitar parts alone. You have to have at LEAST one verse consisting of a guy screaming unintelligibly about anarchy or bollocks or how he's not going to clean his room like his mother told him to.
