I am going to start by saying, that I like Lamb of God. They are a good metal band. Solid players and they write some good ass tunes. Recently though, I found out that Randy Blythe has an Instagram account. Now, I do follow him; he takes some interesting photographs, but I must say that in a lot of instances the guy comes of a bit pretentious. Case in point the photos to your right. Now here we have Mr. Blythe sitting on a couch in a black and white photo. Looks fine, but then you read the ridiculous bullshit that he writes. I get that he misses his friend, but the fact that he staged this makes it super lame. Without the incredibly stupid and over the top artsy fartsy caption, this would have made the photo much better. Together, this just kinda stinks of a musician trying to be a jack of all trades.
Now there isn't anything wrong with someone exploring their creative side, but the way that he did this (and other photos on his Instagram) makes him come off as high and mighty. For a while, he was putting down people who use Photoshop and the camera on their iPhone's and constantly telling us the fancy ass cameras he uses; but recently he has come to a startling realization. YOU DON'T NEED A FANCY CAMERA. You can literally take a disposable camera and get a great shot. A lot of it comes down to art direction. That and not telling the viewer everything that you did to get the shot. Especially because it makes you seem like a pompous ass, who thinks they know about art.
