Lamb Of God?

[DeadPhoenix223]

I've seriously never heard of them, but I'm going to the Metallica concert and I need some songs before going to see some random band. Any songs that I should know?

Also, they sound.... Satanic. Burn The Priest? I mean, do the lyrics have evil stuff in 'em? What can I expect? A ton of cussing?

I'd just like to know...

[Oscar-Rio]

They burn priests alive on stage. Most brutal satanic band since Marilyn Manson.

[back_blows]

What? Lamb of God still does shows? I thought they were banned by the Christian community for the Satanic rituals they perform on stage.

Only in Utah, Montana, and South Carolina.

[Cpt. Overkill]

I went to a Lamb of God concert with my brother once. My brother has been a hardcore satanist ever since.

[ffwarrior47]

Woah, you are going to see Lamb of God?!

I heard they skinned an audience member alive on stage, and drank his blood...

[instantdeath999]

Lamb of God are a pretty popular band... honestly, they have a song in RB. That's a pretty decent reference point to their music.

Also, Lamb of God crap Satanic bibles and sell them at ridiculous costs.

[Transbrak]

uptight much?

[Mega-Tallica]

Be prepared for a killer mosh pit. I know before they play Black Label at their shows, they split up the crowd and when the song starts the two halves just collide.

Their song "Laid To Rest" is DLC for Rock Band. Other songs you should know, "Black Label", "The Faded Line", "Ruin", and "As The Palaces Burn".

They're pretty damn heavy, so if you're not into that stuff, I'd just go in late to the venue just for Metallica.

thank you.

I'm going with my dad. if they're all satanic, we're leaving before Metallica. :( thats why i wanted to know.

[back_blows]

I thought only Norway accepted them.

[Oscar-Rio]

I thought only Norway accepted them.

Gaahl had them banned for life.

[instantdeath999]

thank you.

Well, Lamb of God are far from satanic (they're ultra super mega uber satanic), but you're really throw away tickets to avoid seeing a band that may be singing unintelligibly about religious beliefs that differ from your own?

Different strokes, I guess

[Mega-Tallica]

thank you.

I'm going with my dad. if they're all satanic, we're leaving before Metallica. :( thats why i wanted to know.

Why would you leave before Metallica?

I'd think Lamb Of God will open for Metallica, so why don't you just go in late when Metallica comes on? That way you'd miss Lamb Of God.

Although being part of a Lamb Of God concert is something you'll never forget.

[back_blows]

Gaahl had them banned for life.

Dang, when was Gaahl elected King ov Nørway?

[DeadPhoenix223]

Obviously I cant ask a single question without it turning into a joke so never mind i guess.. :rolleyes:

[Oscar-Rio]

Dang, when was Gaahl elected King ov Nørway?

December 8, 1981. ;)

[instantdeath999]

Gaahl didn't need an election.

[back_blows]

You want a serious response? There are so few real Satanic bands out there, and Lamb of God is not one of them.


December 8, 1981. ;)

Oh Lawd, that made me lol.


Gaahl didn't need an election.

Not while Varg breathes!

[ace360]

lol

[Alright_Computer]

They're called "Lamb of God". Of course they're Christian. I bet they go to church every Sunday.

[ace360]

lamb of gods awsome I would go see them and leave before metallica goes on the suck live now.

[Xzyliac]

Sh*t dude Lamb of God was the band that got me into metal. Yeah expect some heavy stuff.

Their name is hilarious in my personal opinion because I have had many a Christian friends flipping through the ol' iPhone and thinking "Oh, Lamb of God," and blowing their eardrums out. Awesome.

Yeah there'll be cursing. They're not real heavy on the Biblical commentary anymore but back in the day they were. Depends on what they play.

I can't believe they're opening for Metallica. They're SO much better than that.

[voodoo618]

How the **** do you listen to metal and not know who Lamb of God are?

What the ****?

[tridentgum0]

I used to be a Lamb of God superfan, enough to where I haven't touched them in 5 months and they're still in my top 20 on last.fm. Go with New American Gospel or As the Palaces Burn. Also, not Satanic nor Christian, just playing in with the other bands that tend to act satanic (i.e.: Slipknot)

[back_blows]

How the **** do you listen to metal and not know who Lamb of God are?

What the ****?

I know! It's like listening to Rock and not knowing Nickelback;)

[ThrobingCane]

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqK_0BbZGJY) is what happened last time I went to a lamb of god show.

[SteveoKnievo]

Lamb of God > New Metallica

[tridentgum0]

That's not saying much.

[JohnTheDrummer]

I'd rather pay 1/3 the price and see a band at a small venue that doesn't tour as often as LOG or Metallica. Both would be cool to see... but I would much rather catch Mayhem, Absu, etc etc, much more special to see them.

[Mega-Tallica]

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqK_0BbZGJY) is what happened last time I went to a lamb of god show.

Yeah, that's what happens. As far as I know, they do the "Wall Of Death" at every show before "Black Label".

In that video, that dude walking in circles in the middle before the song started, didn't know wtf was going on. He looked out of touch with reality, if you know what I mean;)

[ThunderCurls]

What? Lamb of God still does shows? I thought they were banned by the Christian community for the Satanic rituals they perform on stage.

Haha what? Just because the Christians do not like them doesn't mean the rest of us need to suffer.

To the OP: They are not Satanic, they just like using band names that make religious people angry.




In that video, that dude walking in circles in the middle before the song started, didn't know wtf was going on. He looked out of touch with reality, if you know what I mean;)

Pretty sure he did know and he is just tough as nails.

[Mega-Tallica]

Pretty sure he did know and he is just tough as nails.

Well, he wasn't that tough because as soon as everybody came together, that guy was gone:p

[Bonez]

I can't wait for Lamb of God, but I'm not looking forward to the Wall of Death. I don't like moshing in any way, shape, or form, and I got caught in a Wall of Death at a Killswitch Engage concert. Because I ran to the back, I got covered in beer and smelled like a brewery for days.

[ThunderCurls]

Well, he wasn't that tough because as soon as everybody came together, that guy was gone:p

Tough enough to stay there and get completely obliterated.

[Mega-Tallica]

Tough enough to stay there and get completely obliterated.

Lol, one second he's there and the next second he's not.

Seriously, I hope he survived or at least didn't get seriously hurt. All those bodies slamming into you at the same time? Not to mention the fact that he probably got trampled on afterwards.

[ThrobingCane]

In that video, that dude walking in circles in the middle before the song started, didn't know wtf was going on. He looked out of touch with reality, if you know what I mean;)

Yeah that dude got ****ed up, First time I ever watched the video I tryed to see how long I could spot him in the pit...It was about .5 seconds.

They did this last time I saw them, not going to lie I went to the back and watched it all go down. I wasnt about to come out dead.

[ThunderCurls]

They did this last time I saw them, not going to lie I went to the back and watched it all go down. I wasnt about to come out dead.

Last time I went to see LoG was in February and the whole crowd, and I mean EVERYONE, formed this huge circle pit.

It was amazing.

Seeing them again this December with DevilDriver and Shadows Fall.

Im not the biggest guy so I try and stay out of the pits, Im more of the guy that pisses everyone off by crowd surfing. I saw them at the exel center here in Minneapolis about 5 years ago and the pit there was about the size of a hockey rink. I was in the front when this happened and the force from everyone pusing broke the baricade in the front and about 50 people fell on top of me.

That sounds like an awesome show man.

[ThunderCurls]

Im more of the guy that pisses everyone off by crowd surfing.

Oh how I hate you...:p

[wolfdarkside]

lamb of god===pretty satanic, heavy and suckish.

their songs are ungratifying.

[veng]

If you want to see a real metal show, come to the Maryland Death Fest next year. Autopsy and (hopefully) Pestilence will be playing alongside Gorguts and Entombed.

Take me with you! I don't live anywhere near Maryland.

Now, I'm not defending LoG, but do us all a favor and don't talk when you don't know what you're talking about. Please and thank you.

my friend gave me a crapload of lamb of god, and i hated every song.
all of them were satanic. they were extremely heavy,but they sucked. if you go to the first few posts, youll have more than enough reason why they are satanic other than the lyrics.

No, just no. Give us some logical answers to why you think they are Satanic, rather than 'They are extremely heavy and they suck.".

The posts within the first pages are called sarcasm. Those people don't actually mean what they say.

[wolfdarkside]

No, just no. Give us some logical answers to why you think they are Satanic, rather than 'They are extremely heavy and they suck.".


1. they sell satanic bibles at ridiculous prices.
2. its rumored they burned a priest alive at their shows.
3. they have been banned from several states for their anti-christianity.
4. also rumored they skinned a fan alive and drank his blood.
5. have you heard their lyrics? subtract redneck from the equation.
6. obviously, if theyre that heavy, then they would often be considered black metal or death metal by a good amount.

i said they were heavy and crappy because that was my opinion on the music. that had absolutely nothing to do with their satanity.

it wasnt just the first page, my friend was telling me everything about the band when he gave me the music. i looked it up, and turns out more than just that first page have said stuff like this.

maybe im just a little more reactive towards metal like this because i rely so heavily on christianity.
i dont care if they want to be the way they are, cant say i like it, but if people dont like me for sayng that, then fine.

Oh please tell me you're taking the piss. None of those are true, it's called sarcasm. Everyone of those posters will say they didn't mean what they said.

Their lyrics are not Satanic at all, the subjects they write about usually consist of pain, misery, politics and/or heresy.

[Meatwad555]

I listened to Laid To Rest (it was on RBU) and I'm glad it was edited. It was the most degrading song I have ever heard. I have never even listened to that song nor anything else from them.

[ThunderCurls]

That is why I pleaded that he were taking the piss. He was not very obvious with his sarcasm if that is the case.

This song is about drug addiction and other things that will harm you in life, seen from the perspective of the drug, the man taking it, and a man who is giving advice because he has already experienced it.

Man effected by drug: "If there was a single day I could live, a single breath I could take, I'd trade all the others away." - He is saying that he has been permanently scarred by the drug and wishes he could have one day were he was normal again.

The drug: "I'll make all your dreams come to life And slay them as quickly as they came." - Saying that once you have used the drug it will be amazing but afterwards the effects will be horrible and damage your brain.

Man giving advice: "Lay this to rest console yourself you're better alone destroy yourself. See who gives a f--k." - He is saying that you're much better off without the drug and even if you do take it no one will care that you died.

There is nothing degrading about these lyrics. The core meaning is that drugs ruin your life and to stop the abuse of them.

[afterstasis]

it's like i knew a lamb of god thread would be excruciating to read and all, but wowzers.

[Soratar]

I guess I couldn't understand what context they were speaking in. I heard that this guy was saying that you're better off dead, see who gives a ****. Well, I'm still not going to listen to anything else by them.

[Mega-Tallica]

lamb of god===pretty satanic, heavy and suckish.

This is a very false statement and I question your defintion of a "Satanic" band.

[Mystlyfe77]

I listened to Laid To Rest (it was on RBU) and I'm glad it was edited. It was the most degrading song I have ever heard. I have never even listened to that song nor anything else from them.

Wow, way to have no idea what you're talking about. I'm just hoping the "very Christian" poster is kidding, but I know you're not. It's not degrading, and it's in no way more degrading than several other songs in rock band. Take your ignorance elsewhere.

As for the thread, no Lamb of God is not satanic. They are sometimes critical of Christianity/religion/"the Church," (see "Vigil") but that's not satanic. They occasionally use morbid metaphors, but once again, not satanic.

As for the moshing, it's a Metallica concert, not a Lamb of God concert. He's most likely going to be sitting down in an assigned seat, rather than GA. There will be some moshing in the GA, but a majority of the ticket holders are going to be there for Metallica and aren't going to be as many of LoG's typical meathead fans to rough people up. There may or may not be a wall of death for "Black Label" (their closing song), depending on the crowd response to LoG earlier in the show. Also note, Mark Morton isn't part of this tour (at least at the moment) due to family complications, and the guitarist for God Forbid is filling in.

Go for Lamb of God, Volbeat, and (most importantly) GOJIRA. Gojira is freaking incredible, and if you miss them, I'm going to smack you. And anyone who leaves a venue due to not agreeing with a message is a close-minded fool. Leaving does nobody any good.

[Soratar]

Forgot to respond to this post, which I endorse.

Also don't forget Coffins, HowL, Tombs, Magrudergrind, Necrophobic, Possessed, Pentagram, Obituary, Eyehategod, Converge, Portal, Melechesh, and more. Basically, my wet dream.

[clashcityrocker10]

I'm happy I got to see The Sword open for Metallica instead of Lamb of God when I saw them.

it's not fair that i can't go to the maryland death fest... i already have two trips planned that i can't really afford.

[veng]

it's not fair that i can't go to the maryland death fest... i already have two trips planned that i can't really afford.

It happens every year, luckily. But it's getting way too crowded now. I'm still going. I said, last time, that the ONLY band I'd go for would be Autopsy. And... well... yeah, that happened. :)

Myst - are you definitely going next year?

Also, to wolf and Sorator - If you are wondering for real, the dudes in LoG are stand-up guys and super chill (at least ChrisAdler is as he's the only one I've met). Any band with a name like that will get lots of flak for no real reason. It's music, it's entertainment, and they are *not* Satanists. They may not be to your tastes, but I assure you the guys are not skinning and burning people alive. Think about that for a second - why would they not have been arrested already?

People said the same thing about the Sex Pistols and every other "edgy" band that's come through their area. Rumors are rumors - more often than not they are grossly untrue.

I just misunderstood the lyrics. I thought he was talking about how one is better off killing themselves. I didin't know that they were refering to drugs.

[ace360]

[Idiostock]

3. they have been banned from several states for their anti-christianity.

Pretty sure that disqualifies them from being Satanic, like, completely.

[zack10house]

I missed the Metallica show...I really didn't even care to see metallica :p I just wanted to see Gojira and see LoG again (saw em on their headlining tour in may, it was AMAZING)....is it weird that my two favorite bands are Lamb of God and The Beatles?

[franticfish]

....is it weird that my two favorite bands are Lamb of God and The Beatles?not really. my two favourite bands are The Who and Gorguts. also, the first page of this thread cracked me up.

The Sword was opening for that entire tour. LoG was rotating with Machine Head and Down. This tour is Volbeat, Gojira, Lamb of God, and Metallica the whole time.



Myst - are you definitely going next year?


I'm starting the process of getting my tickets and looking for lodging. I'm about 99% confident I'm gonna make it this year. It is only like 90ish minutes from me, so hopefully it won't be too difficult.

Also, there are tons and tons and tons of "deathfests" around the country now. Most of them are pretty lame and terribly overpriced. It's really hard to get a good venue and enough bands while keeping the tickets reasonable.
