When Lamb of God on your Street
If you happen to be at a Lamb of God signing or if you happen to
see guitarist Mark Morton on the street, don't bother trying to give him your
band's demo. Seriously, he won't listen to it.
Before you
start to say about Mark, hear him out! He recently explained why in a series of
tweets, and it makes perfect sense:
“Years ago, some aspiring band
gave us their demo to listen to. Sometime after that unremarkable incident, they
presented us with a law suit…they claimed that upon hearing their crappy demo,
we stole some of their music and released as our own without compensating
them…those allegations were (of course) completely untrue, & the whole
thing went away as quickly as it had appeared….but….THAT, my good friends, is
why I don’t want to hear your demo. As so often happens in life…one asshole
ruins it for everybody!”
I mean, you can't fault the guy. It makes perfect sense to me.
Morton is a professional musician and does not want to risk running into legal
problems again. Plus, I've spoken to many guitarists who have said that they
don't even listen to metal anymore because they don't want to subconsciously be
influenced by other trends.
