What do you all think of Lamb Of God?

Im probably one of the few metalheads alive who hates this band. First of all the vocals are horrible and unlistenable and the riffs sound too Slayer like. I think they're a try hard version of Slayer meets KoRn. The kind of audience they attract are the surburban teenage audience the ones that hang out in the mall, only listen to bands Metallica, Trivium and System of a Down and used to be Limp Bizshit fans back 5-10 years ago.

I think your perception of them is clearly a little biased. Whilst I'm hardly the biggest LoG fan, I think they're a decent band, especially with their latest release which sees them taking a slightly more Pantera-esque approach. I think Randy Blythe at times does some great vocals and the riffs can be excellent. Even if they're not one of my top bands, they're much better than the 'surburban teenage audience' you associate them with and put on a killer live show.

The vocals ruin it for me. I saw them last summer and they played for
an hour and a half. I was bored out of my mind a half hour into their
set.



I remember telling someone I was with at that show that they were using
recycled Anthrax and Slayer riffs. Their vocalist was just annoying and
seemed like the kind of guy that got beat up in high school a lot.

i don't hear any Slayer influence, but i hear alot of latter day Pantera in their sound. i don't dislike LoG, but they do tend to bore me quickly.

What do I think of Lamb of God?


I don't.

Well, their riffs aren't like Slayer's, and they surely don't even come close to sounding like Korn.

And for the record, I'm 31 years old, and I listen to Metallica, Trivium, System Of A Down, and Limp Bizkit. I like them. And I don't like Lamb Of God at all.

There goes that theory.

I change my response to simply "not a fan".



There is soooo much great metal out there to chose from. I am just not
a fan of the whole metalcore movement. Lamb of God may not be
metalcore, but they do have metalcore-ish vocals. That is mostly what I
am not a fan of.

I thought they were OKAY but then they did started to get boring and I think they get too much hype. I also saw LoG same as ultmetal and I thought the best part of there show was all the lighting and smoke was pretty impressive but I didn't really like there music too much. But my friend really likes them.

Saw them live opening for In Flames and Slayer. Didn't do much for me. I don't like the "modern" stuff.

Same here

I think they're an excellent band.
aggressive, fast and excellent riffs to boot.

Good energetic modern metal

but... each to their own i suppose

I'm fine with Lamb Of God, saw them open for Shadows Fall.-TJ

Not a fan at all. They sounded very monotonous and samey on the few tracks I tried from them.

EDIT: I thought this is a Trivium thread

Anyway, I saw them on the same tour as Kmorg and I didn't like 'em at all, their sound was bad so perhaps that's why they sounded like a total mess.

Lamb of God is alright. Not my favorite. Not a fan

I do listen to Metallica and Trivium.

I HATE System of a Down, KoRn, and Limp Dick-smurf poo and wish that they died in a sea of fire and have their carcasses ravaged and beaten by a bunch of emos.

i listen to metallica trivium and soad (albeit rarely in soads case)
but i never liked limp bizkit though.

i aint never gonna be a huge fan of them ever but are ok. thier new album is better than their early works and are now metal orientated instead of core orientated

The very little I heard from them I didn't like and it didn't make me want to investigte any further. Not a fan.

I would have to have exurted the ounce of effort and waste 2 seconds of
my precious life to have actually heard this band before I could say if
I enjoyed them musically. But since there is only one TRUE Lamb
of God, I am not gonna bother with something I personally consider
sachreligious.

actually i listend to their latest album the other day and i take wat i said back it is quite hardcore influenced with some thrashier bits thrown in

I liked them for a time not long after their second album but lost interest after that.

Never heard em

overrated

i cant believe they are supporting heaven and hell its such a bizarre choice compared to iced earth

agreed not even that he looks like Boris that computer geek from the Bond movie Goldeneye

Im not really a fan altough I bought one of their cd's. It was about $3.00 so thought i'd give it a whirl, I listened to it once, and put it at the very bottom of the cd shelf, in the darkness away from all my other good cd's
