As we all know very well by now, Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler is currently in the studio with Megadeth. He's not a full-time member or anything like that, so it's really no big deal! Adler had commented multiple times about the fact that everyone in Lamb of God was cool with him temporarily taking the position, but we never really heard anything from the band.
Well, except for now when vocalist Randall Blythe recently spoke to Jose Mangin on Sirus XM's Liquid Metal and offered the following:
"Chris is a big Megadeth fan, you know. He's a huge Megadeth fan. So, you know, [Megadeth mainman Dave] Mustaine, I guess, needed a drummer. And he asked him. And Chris sent us this very typical Chris e-mail, like, 'Hey, guys, by the way, if Dave needs a drummer, is this gonna bother you? It won't interfere [with any Lamb of God activities].' We're all, like, 'Go be in Megadeth for a little bit, dude … I hope if, like, the Bad Brains or the Sex Pistols called me [and asked me], 'Hey, do you wanna do something?' [the other guys in Lamb of God] wouldn't be, like, 'No, you can't do that.' No, fuck that!"
Not that we were worried the band wouldn't be cool with it, considering we probably would have heard something by now… or Adler wouldn't have been allowed to do it. Definitely one of those two things.
In the meantime, it looks like Adler is back home with Lamb of God working on a new record!
