Lamb of God singer charged with manslaughter; fans, fellow artists take to Twitter to voice disbelief

News flash: Weird stuff happens in the world of rock ‘n’ roll. The latest example: Randy Blythe, lead singer for the metal band Lamb of God, has been arrested in Prague and charged with manslaughter. It stems from an incident at a 2010 concert in which a fan apparently was fatally injured. What happened, exactly? It’s all pretty sketchy.

Slash isn’t buying any of it, though.
