John Steven Campbell (born September 30, 1972) is the bassist and a founding member of the heavy metal band Lamb of God.
Like Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler, Campbell is a vegetarian. John is a proud graduate of Fishburne Military School in Waynesboro, Virginia.
Unlike many bass players who will use four and five string basses, Campbell at one time played a self modified three-stringed Guild Pilot bass, excluding the higher G-string.
Colonel John Campbell, of Shawfield and Islay (c. 1770 – 13 March 1809) was a Scottish soldier in the British Army, and briefly a politician. After his early death, his widow Lady Charlotte Bury achieved fame as a diarist and novelist.
Campbell was the oldest son of Walter Campbell of Shawfield and Islay, an advocate who served as Rector of the University of Glasgow from 1789 to 1791, and his first wife Eleanora, daughter of Robert Ker of New Field.
He joined the British Army in 1789 as an ensign in the 3rd Foot Guards. In 1793 he was promoted to lieutenant and then captain. He left the army in about 1799, and was later an Colonel of the Argyll militia.
In 1796, he married Lady Charlotte Susan Maria Campbell, daughter of the 5th Duke of Argyll. They had at least two sons and six daughters, but only two of the daughters survived their parents. On the death of Walter Campbell in 1816, John's son Walter Frederick Campbell inherited the 240 square mile island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides.
Lieutenant-Colonel John Campbell, of Stonefield (1753–1784) was a Scottish soldier known for his defence of Mangalore.
John Campbell was born at Dumbarton on 7 December 1753, the second son of John Campbell of Stonefield (d. 1801), a judge of the Court of Session, and Lady Grace Stuart (d. 1783), sister to John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. He was educated (1759–1763) at the Royal High School, Edinburgh.
Campbell joined the army as an ensign of the 37th Regiment of Foot on 25 June 1771 and was appointed lieutenant in the 7th Fusiliers on 9 May 1774, serving in Quebec, where he was taken prisoner in the Siege of Fort St. Jean in 1775. On his release he continued his American war service in the 71st Regiment of Foot (Fraser's Highlanders), being appointed a captain in December 1775, and a major of the 74th Regiment of Foot (Argyleshire Highlanders) in December 1777.
Campbell returned to England in 1780 and transferred into the 100th Regiment of Foot, as a major and then a lieutenant-colonel from 19 February 1781.
I left the station walking. You know the time of night
The buses don’t run through the outskirts of paradise
I heard a gunshot. I saw a razor flash.
If you don’t open your eyes this breath could be your
last.
There’s a whole world of trouble, babe,
What’s this hatred for?
I don’t go near the alley. There’s hungry wolves in
there.
I can hear their stomachs growling from frustration and
despair.
Siren screams in the distance, another dirty deals gone
down.
Just an ordinary night on the wrong side of town.
I feel a cold wind blowing. It chills me to the bone.
My heart is hanging heavy for those folks here with no
home.
I walk up my steps, turn the lock once more.
Shake my head and wonder
