i'm not a lamb of god fan but that's still disappointing to see rubbish from the massively, unbelievably intolerant catholic church.

They're not catholic, but still closeminded.

Ironic they would be banned, considering they changed their name because, as their drumer was quoted as saying, "...it put us in a corner we didn't want to be in."

They don't want a band like Lamb of God because of their past name yet they perfer a crappy band like Slipknot. If I remember correctly, don't they have a song that mentions 666 in every other word?

Pish. Free publicity for LoG. Now they get to claim they're banned by the Church. Hopefully the next album will feature a song called "Wearing Your Weak Faggot Christ's Pancreas as a Hat".

What I can't stand is how they god banned for what they WERE called.. I could change my name to "anti-christ" and then change it back and still go to church.. Why can't a band play in a place thats run by a church group because of what they were once called.. But slipknot can...

I agree,I have never seen any "satanic" lyrics in one Lamb of God song.There more of a political band imo.

Lol, what the hell has slipknot to do with it?
They have a lot of mediapresence...so what?
I can´t understand the church for banning a band, that seems to be, that they did´nt inform theirselfes about this band. (I never heard them).

Slipknot is the headlining band on the tour.. Thats what they have to do with it.. They are still allowed to play when LOG isnt.. Subliminal Verses tour..

Why does a Church (a non profit organization) own a fucking venue??

The answer to your question is in "non-profit organisation".

I barely have something to respond with. The idiocy of the American church is overwhelming. It sounds as if now they're just trying to be belligerent assholes.

Why would a nu-metal band want to play at a church venue anyways?

Yeah, and the inverted pentagrams in their show. Fucking idiots.

I'm a fan of some Lamb of God. And I'm sure the metal commmunity is going to be up in arms about this...

A church employing heavy metal bands in a venue they own ... disgustingly subversive, if you ask me.

Lure the heathens and then drown them in Chick tracts. A diabolical move.

LoG isn't bad, but I think they are a bit over-rated.

there are many church venues in america around 200-300head volume, 1st unitarian in downtown philly for an example, the reason why this happens, churches hosting punk rock/metal shows: alot of churches are closed or barely subsisting with AA services and counselling of various kinds. they rent the basements out to promoters. they get a cut out of the shows, helps keep them running. i dont know about the lamb of god instance your talking about but, church venues are quite common, and usually they dont care whos playing cause they are getting paid

This reminds of a conversation I was having with a guy in school the other day. He tells me that slipknot, cradle of filth, and dimmu borgir all have better gutiars and vocals than Lamb of God. I throttled him. Lamb of God rock!

im not really suprised that a church owned organization banned them from playing there i mean after all... im pretty sure we all wouldnt want metal to be mixed up with a bunch of religious stuff... but it's just not right that they let slipknot play.

o and on a second note...
lamb of god is awesome. the riffs are just great and the drummer is very talented... great dexterity.

In my opinion that is true except for slipknot being better than LoG.

Slipknot: more people than Lamb of God, shittier music.
Lamb of God: Less people than Slipknot, not so bad music. Guitar solos.
