Lamb of God Appreciation thread

What with their sixth album being released next month, I was wondering what is the general concensus on these guys. I highly rate them all as musicians and also I find Randy's lyrics to be quite political and generally badass! Will they ever come to the Republic for a gig?

Sephiroth_dude

new album next month?,seems like only yesterday they released there last one

They blew Slayer away when they supported them in the point in 2001 (was it?). I haven't given them a spin in AGES, might put on some burn the priest and work my way back up.

Think that was around 2007. Just slightly off with 2001 there. :pac:

Yep, I absolutely love them. I was at that gig in the point with my son (he was there for Children of Bodom and I for In Flames) and we both came away LoG fans.
Very much looking forward to the new album and tour.

Edit: just got news of new track streaming here: http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/12/05/exclusive-metalsucks-track-premiere-lamb-of-gods-ghost-walking/

TheStickyBandit

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, the teaser track is just more of the same awesome-ness!

D.Q

their latest album is amazing. Randy can take credit for possibly the best metal vocal performance ever.

Schism

I do like me a bit of Lamb of God I do. I was in my teens when As the Palaces Burn came out, that disc had a monopoly on my cd player for so long.

This

and of course Vigil were the highlights for me.

Actually Vigil is still one of my favourite songs. Great to hear that there's a new album coming out.

Heading to this on my lonesome but really looking forward to it. Should be awesome.

old gregg

should be awesome is an expression I'd use too. Can't wait.

etloveslsd

Myself, the brother and the missus are heading along. Saw them in Academy 2 or 3 years ago when Five Finger Death Punch supported. Both bands were amazing. LOG just about beat them.

Can't wait

I'll be up around 1 or so to check into a hostel, so I'd be free after that if you wanna head for a pint.

coolio. I'll be driving up from Waterford so won't hit town till around 6. But if someone local wants to nominate a nearby watering hole then perfect.

not to worry, work hard, get the points, course, job, lifestyle and you'll be able to catch them anywhere in the future. The certainly seem together enough to not be going away any time soon. Best wishes with the exams!

Angron

Oh brilliant! Sylosis is the support act for the concert, I'm delighted!

TheStickyBandit

I'm driving up from Cork with my brother and driving back after, If I wasn't I'd meet some fellow boardsies for a scoop!

I watched a recent interview with them, and Randy said that one of the biggest misconceptions about LOG is that they're an anti-Christian band. Found that statement a bit odd considering the band name, album names and lyrics of their songs! Plus the band used to be called Burn The Priest...I mean seriously.

I'd seen an interview with maybe Mark recently saying that he's quite religious. Dunno, doesn't bother me either way as long the music's as great as it has always been.

Doesn't bother me either. It's just confusing! :pac:

Very excited for the Belfast gig tonight . I've had my ticket since the day they were released (which was also my birthday so I got one as a present), so glad time has just flown in :pac:

TheStickyBandit

Anyone have spare tickets for the academy? I tried adverts but people a dog slow to get back to ya!

Is there a possibility of getting tickets up there also?

Will do! My mate saw them at Download on Sunday and said they were brilliant so I'm expecting good things!

Reiketsu

Absolutely fantastic gig! I hurt all over and suspect it'll be worse in the morning. Hung around for a bit afterwards and met John Campbell . Lovely bloke. Prepare yourselves Dublin!

Tbh I can't think of any on Abbey street off hand other than twisted pepper and gin palace... **** it I reckon i'll just go straight to the academy from work.

Is this sold out?

apoch632

Yeah it is.

Went to buy another ticket today because I lost mine

weisses

Now that was fukcin epic

DrumSteve

Just back now. There were so many good things about that gig i dunno where to start.

But the fastest ole ole ole ive ever heard is up there. Randy is also a total ****in legend best frontman in Metal. He actually makes a bit of effort to learn about the locals. Redneck was highlight of the night songwise for me.

Sylosis were awesome too.

old gregg

just home too. Absolutely brilliant gig. No gripes, just an evening of great music from my favourite metal band. Gig of the year for me anyway.

Crash Override

Feckin Brillant gig! Anyone know the setlist in order?

Desolation
Ghost Walking
Walk with me in Hell

after that I'm confused.

Set To Fail,

Omerta

Hourglass

Now you've got Something to Die For

The Undertow

The Number 6

Ruin

Contractor

In Your Words,

Redneck

Black Label.

Now where NEAR the right order but what is? and what am I missing?

etloveslsd

Ashes of the Wakes was in there too, I think NYHSTDF was a few songs earlier.

Ashes of the Wake was never played.

I know the first 3 were Desolation, Ghost Walking and Walk With me in Hell and the 3 Encores were In your Words, Redneck and Black Label.

I just don't know the order of everything between that.

I thought this gig was excellent, Randy is a great frontman, he got a great workout judging by the amount of running around he did. I was able to get a great pic of Chris`s kit and tried to get a snap of the setlist but the light wouldnt allow the focus to capture it. Drove back home to Cork straight after it and didn`t regret a minute of the drive up and back. I`d go see them again in a heartbeat.

I got about a half hour of the set on video before the battery died and I was watching it back a minute ago. There`s a funny bit in between songs where Randy dedicates "Ruin" to "the drunkest man alive, I don`t know how he does it, Shane McGowan" :-)

Couldn't agree more! Fantastic gig. Excellent shot of the kit as well!

Did you get the Olé part on Video? I guess that was near the end so you probably didn't.

If you see my above post, I'm trying to get the setlist order but I'm not sure about the middle songs. Do you know the order from after WWMIH to the Encores?
