Lamb Of God address loss and unity in statement on 'Headbangers Boat' cruise
Following their inaugural 'Headbangers Boat' cruise, Lamb Of God has released a recap video and a few comments addressing the events that occured during the festival.
While sailing, a tragic incident unfolded when a 41-year-old fan attending the event went overboard. Despite unsuccessful rescue efforts, the situation remains under investigation.
In the statement, the band acknowledged the loss, while commending the unity displayed by everyone as they rallied together to support one another. Lamb Of God extended their appreciation to the various bands, comedians, staff members, and fans who contributed to the success of the event.
The band stated:
Thank you to everyone who joined us on the inaugural Headbangers Boat. It was truly one of the most special celebrations of heavy metal, bringing together artists spanning decades of music.
We want to thank every single band, host, comedian, staff member and of course fan who made the trek to Miami and on-board with us. Overall, it was truly one of the most positive and fun atmospheres we've been a part of.
It was shocking that a joyous occasion could so quickly turn tragic. While we don't know all of the specifics, we know every single person on that boat is part of our family, and we witnessed everyone onboard experience grief at the loss of one of our own. We couldn't have been more proud of how the metal community on board rallied together to support each other and celebrate heavy metal in the only way we know how. This music community truly is just that – a community.
Thank you to Mastodon, Testament, Hatebreed, Gwar, Municipal Waste, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Lacuna Coil, Gatecreeper, Fit For An Autopsy, Vio-lence, Malevolence, Bleed From Within, Dying Wish, Jesse Leach, Jose Mangin, Riki Rachtman, Frank Castillo, Steve Furey and everyone else involved in making this inaugural event what it was.
–Lamb of God

Blah blah unity blah blah community, pay us more money to travel around the world jacking off playing shit music for sad people with brain damage
Weird way of saying "we were contractually obligated to perform" but go nuts.
So like... thats it? Lol dude falls into the ocean and it's "show must go on" a few hours later? What a community.
According to the FBI, "Serial Murder: The unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events."
Well yeah, we are talking about money here.
Randy, I'm sorry but I see a pattern emerging...
What a dogs hit statement. I hope this dead man's family sues Lamb Of God, all the other bands, the promoter/s & the shipowner out the ass for negligence. Losers.
^why? 'cause some dude gets sh!tfaced and falls off the boat or is suicidal and decides to off himself? how is the band and/or cruise ship even vaguely liable for anything? there were thousands in attendance. one dude died. maybe, just maybe, it was the dude.
why? 'cause some dude gets sh!tfaced and falls off the boat or is suicidal and decides to off himself? how is the band and/or cruise ship even vaguely liable for anything? They are responsible for the safety of their passengers & HTF do you know he was drunk or suicidal? Say he was drunk. The organizers etc. could be sued for serving him too much alcohol. there were thousands in attendance. one dude died. maybe, just maybe, it was the dude. >> Maybe, just maybe there was negligence. It figures that you would cape for LOG you simp.
if I was trapped on that cruise ship with 3000 sweaty drunk lamb of god fans I would have jumped off too
Imagine thanking Jose Mangin lol get rid of that fool
~25 people fall off cruise ships a year. Keep the show rolling!
"HTF do you know he was drunk or suicidal? Say he was drunk. " Dude paid money to go on this thing. A, he's not worth mourning. B, of course he was either unstable or a total wreck of a human.
Jose Mango supports Slaughter To Prevail playing with tracks and actually hypes them as a great live band
Maybe, just maybe there was negligence. It figures that you would cape for LOG you simp. You couldn't be more regarded if you tried. Jesussssssssssss.
Dude got into an argument with his girlfriend over a threesome/cheating and jumped off. Big f*ckin whoop.
Quoting the post in its entirety and then embedding the post in its entirety so we get to scroll thru it twice is my favorite part of new Lambgoat. Thanks bros I almost missed it.
Fake and gayest band since Machine Head and Corey Taylor. Where was your unity at the ATL Masquerade '03/04 when you were on tour with Throwdown and making fun of the fans lining up outside? Randy killed that guy.
"They are responsible for the safety of their passengers & HTF do you know he was drunk or suicidal? Say he was drunk. The organizers etc. could be sued for serving him too much alcohol." Absolutely not. A grown man should be able to fckin handle himself and have some personal responsibility. People who believe otherwise are the whole reason for waivers and warning labels.
So he died? Huh. Sounds like it was Gaza on that ship.
This had nothing to do with any of the bands or the cruise liner. One dude got drunk and was acting a fool and fell off. Sucks but it's no ones fault but his own
My favorite posters in no order: Code Orange MGR Dino Anything Vogel Suffocation Smith/Mullen Club 30 worst bands
Speaking of Code Orange manager - how come you guys can't sell out The Metro? Harms Way, Drain, Botch, and Poison the Well all did. Should have booked something smaller like The Bottom Lounge
^^^^^^^^^ Code Orange MGR here. We tried the Bottom Lounge but there was some DRG QUN story hour booked.
Maybe, just maybe there was negligence. It figures that you would cape for LOG you simp. You couldn't be more regarded if you tried. Jesussssssssssss. If you're gonna call me retarded at least spell the word. Then again you typed your simp shit from the darkness of your parents' basement and/or drunk. Tell me the G key is just above the T key as your excuse loser.

There's no warning label for a cruise dipshit & waivers are meaningless in court. The organizers are responsible for the safety of the passengers but keep simping Simp.
Dude paid money to go on this thing. A, he's not worth mourning. B, of course he was either unstable or a total wreck of a human. You just described yourself, congrats!
