Doc Coyle Responds To Djent/Slayer ‘Controversy’
God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle has responded to the controversy surrounding his recent djent comments (and Slayer diss.) Speaking once again through his Twitter, he offered the following earlier today (March 05th):
“So I guess my comments about the new GF song went a little viral last week. The back and forth was very entertaining and interesting. The overall takeaway was”Doc Coyle hates Djent and Slayer” haha. Which obviously isn’t true. Communication in this era is complex. My take away is: Don’t make waves if you don’t want to get wet. So I suppose I deserve some blowback for putting myself out there.
But I do enjoy and appreciate the open exchange even if some things I say are misconstrued or misunderstood. This was my favorite comment. Nickygods on @theprp – love god forbid!!! can’t wait to read the appology post for the slayer slam though! i can see it now: “ok ok things got out of hand with this whole djent accusation thing, and when i mentioned slayer it wasn’t to bash them i mean i fucking love slayer, who doesn’t? they are responsible for much of metal and for god forbid too! hell we have even toured with them on several occassions and they are awesome dudes! i love how people always look for confrontation i assure the fans that was taken out of context.” ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This guy apologized to Slayer way better than I can. And yes Kerry King and Dave Lombardo are some super cool guys and legends to boot.”
God Forbid‘s new album “Equilibrium” is due out on March 26th.

“Breaking Non-News: Guy from God Forbid doesn’t hate Slayer”
A poster on this very site predicted the apology!
I always seem to get Lamb of God and God Forbid mixed up.
No no no. LOG=great. GF=shit.
It’s more just a name thing and the two of them being in a similar genre. It’s just always plagued me.
Anyway, I can’t say I’m much of a fan of either really. I did listen through the latest LOG record, but I wasn’t compelled to buy it, to be honest. I’d much prefer to throw on an old Pantera record any day.
While I understand you may not like or “prefer” God Forbid, saying they are shit is a bit harsh, and untrue. They are talented musicians and they put on a great show. However, I also prefer LOG.
Surly, listed to ‘Ashes of the Wake’ and tell me that record doesn’t kick your ass.
“Ashes” is pretty fuckin great.
No matter what… Certain guy from LOG could probably learn how to behave in social media from Coyle here. I mean, every “public person” out there should probably write down the “Communication in this era is complex. My take away is: Don’t make waves if you don’t want to get wet. So I suppose I deserve some blowback for putting myself out there.” comment and stick it on their computer screens.
i agree ashes was the peak, god forbid has some really cool songs, may be a little dated but still have some cool shit. wonder what docs prp name is i bet its something lame like wurst or something
jk dude
nice name, southpawchew.
I had a feeling that band dudes trolled their own stories on this site. Between this dude Randell from LOG i’m now 100% sure this happens more often then we think.
Troll on, Doc. I know you’re reading this. Ya trolling motherfucker. Ha ha.
since when is reading up on a post involving your band considered “trolling”?
I don’t exactly care about this djent BS.
All I know is I’ve been a God Forbid fan since I first heard Constitution of Treason, and even though I wish Dallas was still on board, I have to say the new song kicks ass.
God Forbid is one of those rare metal bands I actually care about, probably because Doc is one of the last good riff writers out there.
Kudos to him for cutting the bullshit and telling it like it is.
