They should also remember they are heard by impressionable young men, like our own Nate. Joy Division had pretty much the same effect around 20 years ago. It may be that I'm older now, but artists do kinda have a duty of care to their target audience, and listeners should remember, they make a LOT of money through being provocative. They'd have been just as shocked by Nate's original post as we were, and I'll bet any money the Lamb of God guys love their mum's just like everyone else does.
Take it for what it is, just expression, and their OWN thoughts, don't read it as the gospel, or you will be screwed up. Personally, I too think they're garbage, but that's just my own opinion. Many people don't rate 'The Fall' as a band, but I love Mark E. Smiths lyrics.
If we all liked the same thing, there'd only be one album in the world. How boring would that be? ;)
