Friday, September 30: Rock Birthdays
Happy Birthday today (Sept. 30) to Lamb of God bassist John Campbell. He's 44. Also celebrating is Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes (59).
John Campbell is the bassist and founding member of Lamb of God. He's described Lamb of God as "a punk band that plays heavy metal." The band was influenced by punk bands like the Sex Pistols, Bad Brains, and Black Flag. Frontman Randy Blythe was arrested in the Czech Republic back in June of 2012 and indicted on manslaughter charges related to the 2010 death of a 19 year old fan at a concert. He was eventually acquitted of the charges in the well documented case.
We spoke to John Campbell at Rock'n Derby earlier this year. Check out the conversation below. For more on Lamb of God, check out the band’s official website here.
