Singer of Christian metalcore band As I Lay Dying arrested 'for hiring ex-policeman to murder his wife'

The Grammy-nominated frontman of Christian metalcore band As I Lay Dying has been arrested on suspicion of hiring an ex-policeman to kill his wife. Tim Lambesis, 32, was arrested at a shop in Oceanside, Southern California yesterday according to a statement released by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

He was detained on suspicion on hiring an undercover detective to murder his estranged wife Meggan, who is believed to have started legal proceedings for divorce last September.

Detectives said they averted an attempted hit on Meggan Lambesis, who lives in nearby Encinitas, after they received information last Thursday that Lambesis had solicited someone to kill his wife.

"The information came to us late last week. We acted quickly on it. I believe that we averted a great tragedy," San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell told Reuters.

1. Christian metal band-now there is an oxymoron.

[Ztolkins]

40. Why?

[DeSwiss]

41. Bronze Metal = OK!

[Posteritatis]

43. Not really seeing why. (nt)

[RedCappedBandit]

45. Uh, no. What an ignorant remark. nt

[SwissTony]

2. Not very Christian of him.

I believe there's even a commandment against this sort of thing.

[Gamecock Lefty]

3. Commandments? What Commandments???

I thought Biblical principles applied to everyone but Christians???

[SwissTony]

5. Do as I say, not as I do????? Typical hypocrite. n/t

[Doctor_J]

21. "Thou Shalt Not Taketh My Guns"

the rest, meh.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

38. You forgot one.

Thou shall worship one God, that God is called "the free market", thou shall put no Gods before thee, not even that Jesus guy.

[sofa king]

4. ... And the dude from Slayer dies of a spider bite.

Why couldn't God have sent the spider to this douchebag instead?

[Volaris]

6. because God likes to listen to GOOD music.

[sofa king]

8. In that case this guy should be twice as dead.

[progressoid]

17. God listens...

[nomorenomore08]

47. If Slayer is bad music then what does that make As I Lay Dying?

AILD is a second-rate (at best), derivative band which has become undeservedly popular.

[Victor_c3]

7. To quote some of my favorite gangster rap...

"Shit got real!"

[mahatmakanejeeves]

9. Whew, what a relief. I was afraid he had turned gay.

[PD Turk]

29. he'a the funniest man alive IMO

[loli phabay]

31. his observational stuff is funny as hell, i love when he does his drunk guy walk and the guy

Returning the bust sex doll walk. If it wisnae for your wellies is a cult classic as as the orient express spies skit.

[mmonk]

[nomorenomore08]

48. Exactly what I was thinking of!

"That's not rock'n'roll, it's youth club table tennis fuckin' crap!"

[Tom Ripley]

11. I guess prayer didn't work

[heaven05]

12. thou

shall not kill or pay to get someone killed! What a dangerous idiot.

[AllyCat]

13. Well, remember the slogan:

"Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven" or some b.s. like that. All he has to do is repent and he's golden!

[beerandjesus]

15. That's right, in fact:

Here in SC-1, we're going to nominate him for 2014 if Sanford doesn't work out!

[StandingInLeftField]

23. Hypocrite

Hypocrite

[brooklynite]

Hence it was this douchebag's duty to put her to death.

[Dawson Leery]

[nomorenomore08]

49. You are a bad, bad man! Shame on you!

[The Stranger]

28. He took the name of a Faulkner novel to name his "Christian metalcore" band?

Help me out here.

[msanthrope]

36. From the looks of him, I suspect Snopes ancestry. nt

[kestrel91316]

32. How DARE she not submit to him like a good Christian wife??

[bitchkitty]

33. Thou shalt not kill.

Unless of course your spouse is suing for divorce.

[Inkfreak]

35. Great band. Shitty dude.

And I don't give a fuck about his religion. Lots of shitbags claim to be some type of religious person when in fact they are the farthest thing from.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

37. Terrible band.

But they've always been kind of a joke in the metal world. There are a few "Christian" bands that are taken seriously like Extol.


FYI Tom from Slayer is a Christian (devout Catholic) wouldn't know it by their lyrics though.

[polly7]

39. Whoa ... what an asshole.

Hope he enjoys hell in prison.

[RedCappedBandit]

46. As an atheist, this is one of my favorite bands.

The Christian thing doesn't really have anything to do with the music. I'm honestly disturbed that I found this guy's lyrics to be so moving in the past.
