You recognize, it’s in all probability onerous to seem like an enormous robust robust man when the world is aware of you for being a cowardly piece of shit that tried to rent somebody to kill his spouse. It’s in all probability even tougher when one among your friends laughs at the truth that you cried like a child on his podcast, however them’s the breaks if you’re As I Lay Dying frontman and unintentional proprietor of moobs Tim Lambesis.
Throughout a current episode of weekly comedy podcast Legion of Skanks, that includes comedians Massive Jay Oakerson, Luis J. Gomez, and Dave Smith, Hatebreed frontman was on as a particular visitor. Throughout their dialog, issues shifted to the insane drama that surrounded Lambesis and the implosion of As I Lay Dying. And whereas the comedians had been cracking jokes in regards to the scenario that landed Lambesis in jail, Jasta dropped some juicy nuggets in regards to the podcast he recorded with Lambesis after he was launched from jail. The next was transcribed by our pals at Lambgoat.
“[Lambesis] cried on the present and stuff and actually offered it, so folks had been like, ‘Fuck Jasta! He’s so insensitive! I can’t imagine this!’…
“I used to be one of many solely folks that publicly went towards [Lambesis] and stated it on a number of exhibits. Not lots of people… I feel I’m nonetheless, you possibly can in all probability Google this, I’m nonetheless one of many solely folks that stated, ‘No fuck this dude! It’s wack. He’s finished. That is somebody that ought to actually be canceled’. And I swear, in at some point I had possibly like 400 tweets the place it was like, ‘Fuck you, Jasta, you by no means needed to kill your spouse?!?’… I used to be like, ‘No, I imply…’”
For the uninitiated, Lambesis served time in jail for making an attempt to rent a hitman to kill his now ex-wife Meggan. The story goes that he was going by way of a rocky patch together with his spouse and somewhat than attempt to make things better or break up like a standard individual, he determined to rent a hitman to kill her as an alternative. Fortunately, the “hitman” he linked up with again in 2014 was really an undercover detective, resulting in his arrest and eventual sentencing to 6 years in jail for tried homicide. He finally wouldn’t serve his full sentence and was set free again in 2017 for good habits.
One he bought out, he tried to reboot As I Lay Dying and failed spectacularly. Nonetheless, regardless of every little thing he did and his failure to not be a dick to everybody round him, Jasta stated he caught shit from terminally on-line dick riders for the way he dealt with the interview with Lambesis.
“Everyone stated that I used to be too onerous on him and the questions had been impolite and stuff and I used to be like, ‘the dude survived jail… what’s a pair questions over Zoom?’ The followers get very hooked up to sure folks in sure bands they usually wish to see them… it doesn’t matter what they’ve finished, it doesn’t matter. In the event that they’re your favourite band, they’re like ‘oh, separate the artwork from the artist’. I used to be asking questions like, ‘Do you continue to have a restraining order together with your youngsters and your spouse?’ and there have been issues that he couldn’t reply… as a result of that’s what I’d wish to know, particularly if we’re going to tour collectively or be on the identical stage collectively…
“If [the hitman] wasn’t a cop, she could be useless… and he had dudes vouching for him, so these dudes wanna come on the present, or one of many dudes I feel I’ll have on the present once more, Ken [Susi, ex-As I Lay Dying, ex-Unearth], who’s a fantastic man, was like, ‘yeah, I wish to take again what I stated, vouching for [Lambesis]’.
“However yeah, it’s a shitty scenario when you’re a diehard fan of [Lambesis], who I requested, ‘is your ex-wife nonetheless in witness safety?’ and he couldn’t reply.”
It’s fucking wild how Jasta bought blow again for merely asking onerous questions, however that’s the web today. Doesn’t matter what chances are you’ll or might not do, you’ll all the time have somebody prepared to hold your water so long as you’re well-known and profitable.
