LAMB OF GOD Guitarist MARK MORTON On Refusing To Listen To Other Band Demo Recordings – "One Asshole Ruins It For Everybody"

In a series of tweets on his official Twitter page (found here), Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton explained to the aspiring musicians amongst the band’s fans as to why he won’t listen to demo music sent his way:

“Years ago, some aspiring band gave us their demo to listen to. Some time after that unremarkable incident, they presented us with a lawsuit; 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, and 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!”

Lamb Of God recently announced their upcoming January/February 2016 U.S. headline tour featuring direct support from very special guests Anthrax and openers Deafheaven and Power Trip.
