SO, UH, DID RANDY BLYTHE LIKE PATRICK SWAYZE OR HATE HIM?

And while I’ve never seen Dirty Dancing (or Road House… that seems like it might be a major oversight on my part), I did enjoy the man’s work in Point Break (he really jumps from the plane, man!!!) and, more recently, Donnie Darko.
So. Elise at Reign in Blonde found this video of LOG doing a concert back in ‘08, around the time Swayze was initially diagnosed with cancer. Here’s what Randy says right around the 2:10 mark:
“This next song goes out to… our other special guest, who appeared backstage. Believe it or not, Mr. Patrick Swayze is in the house. Un-fucking-believable. Here we go Patrick, this is for you! NOW YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO DIE FOR!”
Well, I’m confused. Blythe’s tone sounds pretty sincere, but dedicating a song called “Now You’ve Got Something to Die For” to a dude who just found out he has cancer seems kind of, um, insensitive, for lack of a better word. Was Swayze really in attendance for this show? Is Blythe trying to do something cool, or is he being a dick? If Lamb of God cover “She’s Like the Wind” on their next album, I guess we’ll know the answer.

I think this is more in reference to Ghost
i think blythe picked the wroooonnnggg sonnnnggg to dedicate… like one of those ‘wanna-get-away?’ moments.
HAHA This is gonna make me laugh in a few hours too, I know it.
“If Lamb of God cover “She’s Like the Wind” on their next album, I guess we’ll know the answer.”
HAHAHAHAHA! HOLY FUCK, AXL!
I’m an asshole so I like to think Randy was being a dick. I think that would be hilarious.
he just finalized his preparations for “ghost 2.”
“point break” has been one of my favorite movies since i was in third grade. i’ve wanted to rob banks ever since.
All i know is I saw Lamb Of God last night in Nashville open for Metallica and they were great. He is a killer frontman. Doc Coyle did a fantatstic job filling in for Morton and Metallica brought out Lemmy and did 2 Motorhead songs and i got to see Gojira play some tunes live finally. Great show. Thats my 2 cents sense i have nothing to add to this story.
Lamb of God SUCKS.
Sigh….
And you’re a retard. Yay! Go back to playing with your crayons, just don’t eat them.
+1
I don’t know why anyone here thinks this was anything other then a joke. What? You REALLY think Patrick Swayze was backstage at a Lamb of God concert?? No. Randy probably saw the headline and thought that would be a douchey joke to make to seque into his song and that’s just what I think it was.
I like LOG but lets face it Randy Blythe is the least cool thing about the band overall. I recall a LOG dvd where a groupie was fighting with Randy and called him “a cheerleader for musicians” and she could have not been more right.
That wasn’t a groupie man, it was Willie Adler’s wife and they were arguing over something Randy said to her.
Live to get radical.
Patrick Swayze is Dead
he died yesterday, perhaps he was dedicating the song to him
