Gotta feel sorry for the band. Is Tim still in AILD or not?

Jordan, Nick, Phil, and Josh

Sensible statement to make.

These guys have always been good to their fans.

Tim is fucked.

If the band were to continue who would be a suitable replacement for Lambesis? Finding a traditional
Metalcore vocalist with a similar degree of talent would be a tall order.

tim lambesis jail ambient album 2014

lol @ nonapplicable

Whatever dude, go be redundant somewhere else. Lambesis is the best harsh metalcore vocalist IMO.

Howard Jones would make a great replacement.

he's one of the best.

"Howard Jones would make a great replacement."

fuck no. He's decent but I just can't see him fitting in with AILD

If Tim gets put away they should call it quits on AILD and start a new band or simply shelve it until Tim is released.

Haha agreed.

Most metalcore vocalists sound similar to an extent(much like other genres of metal), but when I hear
Lambesis I definitely know it's him. His technique and range is pretty much better than any other
metalcore vocalist I can think of.

I'm also not just talking about his voice. His songwriting ability and other contributions to AILD's
music is also appreciated. Having any run-of-the-mill vocalist replace him would be a detriment to the
entire band.

@Keyblade Why do you feel compelled to criticize a genre you don't even listen to? Like I said, go be redundant somewhere else.

people who dont recognize how distinct lambesis is, havent listened to aild enough. not in the sense that you MUST listen to them

@Keyblade Why do you feel compelled to criticize a genre you don't even listen to? Like I said, go be redundant somewhere else.

Key speaks truth.

"If Tim gets put away they should call it quits on AILD and start a new band or simply shelve it until Tim is released."

Yeah, because they'll wait 9 years to let the guy (who tried to have his wife murdered) back into the band.

They'll either call it quits or replace him.

dudes should jam hard in prison

i do listen to metalcore and i wasn't even criticizing the genre. hell, i have The Powerless Rise at a 4.

I took a look at your pie chart and it doesn't reflect your statement. I don't expect you to rate everything you listen to, but come on.

At the time of this post, you haven't rated any AILD records. I call BS on that one.

_

I mentioned that you were criticizing the genre because you were generalizing. I could say that all Death Metal or Black Metal vocalists sound the same, but I know that isn't entirely true.

I also agree that Lambesis isn't unique, but I do think he is distinct.

Sometimes I wonder how much time of the average sputnik users life is spent scrolling through ratings just to justify an argument with someone they will never meet.

He's not that distinct. Go look at my pie chart, I listen to a lot of metalcore. AILD are an average band and he is an average vocalist. There are hundreds of fans who could take his place and do it just as well

Get Skrillex to come back to using his voice instead of his wubs to replace the Lamb-EZ. #freeTim

I took a look at your pie chart and it doesn't reflect your statement. I don't expect you to rate everything you listen to, but come on.

He really isn't that distinct. I love the genre and the band, and Tim's does have phenomenal range, but he doesn't have an incredibly distinctive harsh vox.

He's not that good anyways.

RIP

I always feel sorry for band members that have to go through stuff like this due to singer's problems.

In a article his wife said that he became obsessed with bodybuilding. In other news the sun is bright.

＠NonApplicable

Do you know what redundant means?

all I know is he was super creepy looking when this band first came out.. I look at recent pictures and now he looked like a bearded god - son of thor

No one is focusing on the real issue here. Is the wife hot? Maybe she'll send me some nudes. No she won't? Why I oughta have her kilwait a minute...

yo talk about murder plots and whatnot. No one cares how "distinctive his screams are" or "who will replace him" damn

Lil Wayne recorded verses from prison...

they didn't even reference god in their statement


THIS BAND IS NOT CHRISTIAN ANYMORE THEY ARE PAGANS AND ARE GOING TO HELL, YOU WILL TOO IF U CONTINUE LISTENING TO THEM BELIEVE THAT!

Sputnik is full of good news lately isn't it?

yet again, nonapplicable brings a bad opinion to a thread.

Tim will have no problem surviving in prison, that's for damn sure.

It would be kind of hard to replace him considering he started the band and wrote most of the songs on their first 2-3 records. If I'm not mistaken he even recorded guitars on the first and maybe second album...

But yeah this is some fucked up shit

Yea don't think it matters how big you are when you're getting gang raped by 5 dudes

you can be the biggest motherfucker on the planet but once you're in jail it's being a different world

also he has long hair

his butt is destined for a pounding

I will be so pissed if this means no new Austrian Death Machine, which I do believe was just in the midst of being recorded. Hopefully this turns out to be false, though I doubt it.

If were going to say metalcore vocalists all sound similar, just compare Zao, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, and Every Time I die. I can tell quite a huge difference between them. Whatever. This is a pointless post. Sputnik is getting boring, just the same old drama.

but nobody's saying that tho

I was extremely late to the conversation.

"Tim will have no problem surviving in prison, that's for damn sure."

just because he's got some muscle doesn't mean he can fend off murderers and rapists. he's a long haired tattooed fairly good looking man, he's gonna have some problems on his hands.

or rather several problems up his ass, repeatedly

why did he murder that czech dude

If he gets convicted they should just quit As I Lay Dying and start a new band. It would suck if they got screwed like that though

Regardless of the chances, seeing HoJo in AILD would be very interesting.

The show must go on.

Just turn into an instrumental band. Problem solved.

this has been the year of the jailed metal frontman

I'll definitely miss Tim as a vocalist if this all ends up being true. I think they should try to find a suitable replacement for him instead of breaking up though. Tim isn't the make or break factor for the band, the rest of them do great work too.

Bit of a stretch but isn't Spencer Chamberlain not really doing anything right now?

That would be awesome, but I don't think Spencer wants to do harsh vocals anymore.

#freeTim2013'

Man this is truly a disaster.

The guy is a beast vocalist and frontman not to mention a role model for young teenagers I bet.

yet again, nonapplicable brings a bad opinion to a thread.

The pattern with you haters is that you don't listen to Metalcore. Seems pretty telling to me.

Maybe they could go rescue Phil from All That Remains and make him good/relevant again?

Isn't Phil a good vocalist trapped in a shitty band?

Precisely my point, i think he could fit in AILD quite well

Precisely my point, i think he could fit in AILD quite well

Tim Lambesis and Ian Watkins are: The Stoney Lonesome Boys.

The pattern with you haters is that you don't listen to Metalcore. Seems pretty telling to me.

Actually, I DO listen to metalcore, I just don't rate any because a. I can't be fucked rating everything single piece of audio that I listen to, it just makes things hard and b. I'm not a hater, I'm literally making the most obvious statement. you come into threads with the opinion that EVERYONE hates. And for some weird reason it is always the opposite of the general consensus.

The fact is, your contributions to threads are always the same. On the new Korn song, you said "is it bad that I want more dubstep" or something of that sort, when most people dislike the stylistic alteration that they made. On my Sylosis review, you fanboy'd the fuck out and actually caused there to be a short copy paste about you.

Finally, this thread. You come into a thread about a band that has never really done anything exemplary, rather opting for an average sound in an awfully average genre. You claim the vocalist is original and different, when in fact, several metalcore vocalists from the newish wave of metalcore could pull it off with ease. Even a girl could put it off effectively, the vocalist of The Agonist for example.

This is why I made my above statement and stand by it.

"I took a look at your pie chart and it doesn't reflect your statement. I don't expect you to rate everything you listen to, but come on."

Not everything shows up on your fucking chart that doesn't even reflect what you listen to most of the time and stop being so asshurt that someone doesn't like a metalcore vocalist

The point of the Pie chart is to reflect your musical taste. I said earlier, "I don't expect
everyone to rate everything they listen to". At a point however, if someone has rated many albums
and less than 1% of the are metalcore then I call foul.

No idea what liking Kornstep has to do with any of this.

You have a good memory NeoSpaz, you remembered that Sylosis back and forth =). I don't mean to put
you down, but the consensus was that review was rather biased. Some of the statements you made were
rather silly as well. Anyway, I would like to keep on topic.

You claim the vocalist is original

The other pattern I find is that people like to put words in my mouth. I never claimed Lambesis is
original, but I did say he had better range and technique than everybody(IMO).

I try not to make outlandish statements like you did in your last paragraph; they sound rather
ridiculous. Statements like that are why I know you're a metalcore snob.

This is getting counter productive and I'm sure others are growing tired of our bull shit. I'll keep
my comments to a minimum.

Can't really believe this is really happening... well what can you do

Ain't nobody rape Robert Downey Jr. in prison.

"a metalcore snob."

who would bother being that

Why the hell would I bother being a metalcore snob? Such a large portion of modern metalcore is ridiculously bad, there is no reason to even be a snob.

Ain't nobody rape Robert Downey Jr. in prison.

[A]http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Was_Robert_Downey_Jr_raped_in_prison

Is this true?

I made a comment and I listen to a lot of metalcore. Fuckin invisible up in here

Bad vocalist, bad band

Now he has attempted murder under his belt. Wow, really going places. May he rot in jail.

#AsILayRotting

Not according to him it isn't. He got into a fight once but allegedly whooped the other guy's ass by cheap shotting him first. As for getting raped, "Hell no!"

Hahaha Ire hahahahahaha

somebody thinks everybody is "hating" on metalcore just because people think Tim sounds like your average metalcore vocalist

he's good, but to say he's irreplaceable is lol

RIP [2]

Tim was only ever special because of Austrian Death Machine. He is good but sounds exactly the fucking same as many other super popular melodic metalcore bands. I am absolutely positive people wouldn't stop listening if they replaced him

1 week before nobody gives a F

Dude... Keyhole you need to just stop. Even after I stopped, you still can't drop it. Go ahead, keep twisting my words around, but nobody wants to hear your uninformed opinion anymore(nor mine for that matter). All our communication has been based on your negativity. So instead exhausting your energy on a band or a vocalist you couldn't give a fuck about, go and discuss a band that you love.

wtf is wrong with you? I didn't say anything negative about this band. I even told you that if I were to rate TPR I'd give it a 4 so keep your assumptions to yourself. all I said was it won't be difficult to replace this guy because he isn't anything special. how hard is that to take and understand? ugh fuckin metalcore kids

He is good but sounds exactly the fucking same as many other super popular melodic metalcore bands

According to NBC San Diego, Lambesis emailed his wife in August saying he didn't love her anymore and he no longer believed in God. He later filed for divorce and his wife learned he had multiple affairs.

Allegedly, Lambesis approached members at his gym asking if anyone knew somebody who could have Meggan killed. Authorities became aware of Lambesis' plot and set up a sting operation.

When Lambesis met with the undercover cop posing as a hitman named "Red" on May 7th, Lambesis said “that it’s better for his children to have one healthy relationship with one parent rather than two unhealthy ones.” He told Red he wanted his wife gone.

Lambesis was specifically asked if he wanted his wife dead, and he said "yes, that's exactly what I want." The prosecution allegedly has an audio recording of this exchange.

After Lambesis confirmed he wanted his wife gone, he handed Red an envelope with one thousand dollars in cash, Meggan's address, photos of his wife, security gate codes instructions on how and when to enter the home, when he would have the children in his custody, allowing for Meggan to be murdered.

1000? To kill someone? Bullshit it would cost so much more than that

But yea he's fucked

And Non stop going full retard

lesson: don't do metalcore

You're still going. How pathetic.

He is rather fucked.

The whole things seems very half assed somehow though... Paying someone called "Red" a 1000 to kill his estranged wife? It's like he knew it was going to fail.

I can't believe Tim would plead not guilty after all that incriminating evidence. It's a shame that he
has turned out to be such an asshole.

Those cops must be laughing at how easy it was lmao

Forget it Tim, you're out of your element.

@andcas

I hope you're right. Have you seen the video? It really is sad. That stare he gives pretty much says
it all. "I fucked up my life"

You're still going. How pathetic.

Happened to see AILD play the China gig on May 5th. Kind of sad knowing that might be my last time (my first time actually) seeing Tim on stage with AILD.
A man pays for whatever choices he make , christian or not.
Hopefully Tim would not stay too long in jail. Evidences seemed solid enough

really sad story

thats one crappy metalcore vocalist out of the way. yes.
