Lamb of God Frontman Randy Blythe’s Arrest: Rockers React

Metalheads can always feel proud of their musical community when someone is in need of support. In this case, musicians and fans everywhere are standing behind Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe after his arrest this week on apparent manslaughter charges in Prague, Czech Republic.

Other than the support itself, many have pointed to the onstage shooting which took the life of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott on Dec. 8, 2004. After the incident, many musicians reserved the right to defend themselves if a fan decides to rush the stage even once, not to mention multiple times.

Slash, Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia, Sebastian Bach and Disturbed' David Draiman are just some of the rockers who have taken to Twitter in reaction to Randy Blythe's arrest. See their tweets below:
