Talk:Tim Lambesis

Sentencing details

In the "2013 solicitation of murder arrest" subsection, it is stated, "If found guilty, he could face a prison term of 3 to 9 years in the state of California." At the end of the section, however, it states he entered a plea deal and "received a reduced sentence of 9 years in prison." If the maximum sentence possible was 9 years, how does a 9-year sentence constitute a reduced sentence (not to mention, why would anyone accept a plea whose terms dictate the maximum possible sentence)?

The source for the first statement is a site called Metalcore.net, quite dubious as a legitimate news site IMO, so I'm tending to doubt the veracity of the first statement, but would still like to see clarification. 24.118.76.70 (talk) 04:57, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

I believe your concerns have been addressed in the current article or was there still outstanding issues that you noticed? Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 18:50, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Contradiction

The article claims it has been reported that Lambesis has reverted to Christianity, but he is categorized as an atheist & lapsed Christian. These can't both be true. Suggest removing the categories until the issue is cleared up. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 03:29, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

His band-mates in As I Lay Dying came out and said Lambesis has once again become Christian. However, and this is even a part of their statement, we cannot add that information until an official statement is made firsthand by Lambesis himself, or something a little bit more reliable, as per this. The last we heard from Lambesis himself is that he has renounced his belief in Christianity. TomUSA 02:09, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

I believe this contradiction has been reconciled in the article's current form. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 19:48, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Trial of Tim Lambesis

Should there be article for his trial? It seems that it was infamous enough for there to be an entire article about it. Metalworker14 (Yo) 7:50, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

There's enough there for a stand-alone article. Yeah. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:02, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, it needs to at least meet WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 19:35, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

"Instruments"

He literally, besides doing vocals, plays lead/rhythm guitar, bass guitar, and drums on the Austrian Death Machine records, or at least records them all in the studio. He also played and recorded the keyboard parts in some As I lay Dying Records, therefore every one of these instruments should be listed and not just vocals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:810B:F40:508:3D45:92D7:F26C:1A50 (talk) 07:53, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

From Template:Infobox musical artist#instrument: "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used." The AILD albums do not list him has playing those instruments so you appear to be mistaken. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:29, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

To Walter's point, are there any reliable sources that show that he is known for playing multiple instruments? Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 19:35, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
