I'm just a big a fan of Lamb of God as I am of the television show that recently ended Dexter (and for the record I liked the ending. Fight me). Who knew that Dexter star Michael C. Hall was a Lamb of God fan as well?
Lamb of God vocalist Randall Blythe posted the above picture on Instagram of Hall at the show in their dressing room along with the caption:
“Another LA dressing room shot. This is this dude Mike [see the photo here] I met that night. Ben, my bad-ass editor over at Da Capo/Perseus (publishing company that’s putting out my book in North America) was coming to the show & asked if it was cool for a plus one on the list, as he wanted to bring a friend. Sure, no problem- he came to the bus before the show & introduced his old college buddy Mike, & we sat & shot the shit for a half hour or so.
I thought maybe Mike was his editorial assistant at Da Capo or something- he was a super chill dude. Then I noticed A LOT of people started getting on & off our bus, more than normal. Then our video guy Doug asked Mike for a picture, like “My wife will kill me if I don’t get a photo with you”- Mike said sure. Doug left & I was like “Bro, who ARE you?”
I thought maybe he was some sort of rockstar editor I didn’t know about (are there such things?) or maybe in porn or something, hahaha. He just looked at me & was like “I’m an actor, I was on a tv show called Dexter & another one called Six Feet Under” I said “Oh, that’s cool. I don’t watch tv. I’m sorry I don’t know your show.”
Then I realized that I was saying EXACTLY to him what people who don’t know my band say “Oh, I’m sorry I’ve never heard of you”- IT’S OK! NOT EVERYONE IS A METALHEAD! So I said “Wait dude, I’m NOT sorry I don’t watch tv, but it’s really nice to meet you” & then we just kicked it with all our other guests until we played. Mike was mad chill (This is Michael C. Hall, NOT DEXTER- FUCK! That’s an imaginary person!
Mike’s a real person) & watched the show & I hope he had a good time & didn’t get “Dextered” to death. Let a motherfucker chill, SHIT! I won’t start watching tv, but I will go see his new movie I looked up about a murder in the Beat scene called “Kill Your Darlings”. Anyways, nice guy, & he took a pretty good portrait.”
There were a few episodes of Dexter that featured some pretty heavy jams, so I'm going to pretend now that Hall made Showtime do it because it makes him seem even cooler to me. Maybe he even jammed Lamb of God before he got into the character of Dexter too? I mean, he did have to do a whole lot of looking grim and murderin' people.
