Lamb Of God Didn't Expect Success Says Campbell

(TeamRock Radio) Lamb Of God's John Campbell admits he's "flattered" that anyone paid attention to the band on their rise to success. But the bassist says the band never intended to be part of the so-called New Wave Of American Heavy Metal - they just wanted to play live.

Campbell tells Q103: "What happened was we started this band to drink beer and go play people's basements, and somehow that started to escalate. And these other bands were doing the same sort of thing.

"We all came up together. I'm just flattered that people paid any attention to what we were doing. But the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal was not something we strove for." Read more and watch the full interview here.
