Randy Blythe: "I don't think Dave Brockie was a stone cold junkie"

With yesterday's news that GWAR frontman Dave Brockie's death was the result of an accidental heroin overdose, Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe took to Instagram to discuss both Brockie, and addiction. Here you go:
I am so fucking sick of my friends dying from alcohol and drugs. Really, really, tired of it- some of them die slow in the throes of addiction, and some of them die after just doing something stupid one night after a party. Some if them fuck around and fuck around and fuck around..."I'll get sober one day..." For most of them, that day comes for sure- when we put them in a casket. It's better to be alive when you get sober.
In this photo I was still drinking- I am a FULL BLOWN ALCOHOLIC. When I drink, I do crazy, really ill stuff. But I am a sober man today. I LIVE FREE. I might die surfing in the ocean tomorrow, but I will go out doing what I love, not choking on my own vomit. Besides that, I can just try and help others, so I'm writing this to YOU- YES, YOU- you, the one who can't stop drinking and getting fired and pissing off your wife, you the one who steals pills from you friend's medicine cabinet, you the one who is in a dark hole and wants to die and the only thing that fixes it for a little while is a drink or a drug- WAKE UP. GET HELP. STOP. PLEASE, I'M FUCKING BEGGING YOU. YOU CAN DO IT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET SOME HELP. If I can do it, ANYONE CAN, because I was a TOTAL WRECK for YEARS. Just get some help, goddamn it. And if you haven't started, don't. JUST DONT. There is NOTHING cool about being an alcoholic, a drug addict, or dead. Trust me. For the love of God, just don't start. Please.

Randy, shut your stupid mouth and get off your fckin' pedestal. Seems like the kind of fckhole who will have the same exact conversation with EVERYONE he meets and wear his sobriety chips around his loose jerk for quick access.
when your dead your not cool when your dead your not cool when your dead your not cool
God forbid a famous metal musician try to make a difference in the lives of young people f***ing up. He isn't soliciting money for his save the rainforest campaign, nor is he telling you to adopt this puppy. Yall are on pedestals...fall face first. When you get up, ask your mom to pop those zits and go hand in your BK applications.
i hope all you negative nancy's overdose on heroin
"I love selling blow." Let's see if you still feel that way after you get robbed for everything you've got by one of the junkies you helped feed. I hope for your sake you don't get murdered just so you can feel as fcking stupid as you sound.

Would rather die from alcohol slowly than be killed by Randy on stage

nope, my h is pure raw, you straight edged sucker
I grew up for a long time of my life following Randy, and let me tell you he's come a long way, and so what if he wants to give some positive reinforcement? Some people who are inspired by him for what he does may take it positively and help them a little or alot with their lives? Pedestals? You guys definitely are on one to throw that shit around. Life is beautiful, doesn't mean you cant indulge, but don't lose yourself and your life. Love you Randy !!!
all my heroes are dead alcoholic drug addicts so i disagree with this gay he's just jealous because he's not dead
I can't wait for the day that getting wasted is no longer cool to anyone. It's 2014. Grow up.
Hodack the only thing raw here is my dick in your mom's c*nt....oh wait you probably don't have a mom cause you killed her for insurance money so you could buy smack
"when your dead your not cool when your dead your not cool when your dead your not cool" when you misspell you're, you're not cool
