DOC COYLE: NOT TO BE FUCKED WITH
Monday, October 5th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Axl RosenbergAwhile back, there was a fan-filmed video of one of the dudes from Attack Attack! getting hit in the head with a cup of water (or, hopefully, something much ickier). And I found that video hilarious. The video is down now “due to a copyright claim” by the band’s label, Rise Records, but that’s bullshit. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of fan-filmed videos of Attack Attack! all over YouTube, all of which, theoretically, violate Rise’s copyright claim. This video was clearly taken down because it’s embarrassing to Attack Attack!
But I digress. I’m really just admitting that I found that video funny, because I’m a huge hypocrite.
See, I don’t find the below video of Doc Coyle getting hit with a cup of water while performing with Lamb of God funny because, well, a) I like God Forbid, b) I like Doc Coyle, and c) I like Lamb of God. So, yeah, I’m biased. If that’s shocking to you, you either don’t read MetalSucks very much, or are not very intelligent.
ANYWAY, one thing I do find funny about this video: Doc taking off his guitar and leaping down off the stage to confront his attacker. No, he doesn’t actually hurt anyone, but, man, I bet he put the fear of God (Forbid!) in whomever that dick wad was.
Skip to roughly 4:22 to see the whole thing go down. Hopefully whomever threw that cup woke up the next day to find that his testicles had, indeed, fallen off in the middle of the night. Assuming he had a pair to lose in the first place.

When did Willie put all the weight on?
Its been a few years!!!! Right after Sacrament!!!!!!
Randy quit binge drinking right around the same time Willie stopped watching his carbs
hilarious!
I think I show the prick hightail it when Doc took off his guitar and was ready to go down. Aside from being a very cowardice act (even if you do it to Attack Attack!) at least he could have picked a less meanceing target. If you ain’t got the balls don’t do the act bitch!!
Regardless of whether it’s aimed at Attack! Attack!, Doc Coyle, or Jesus M.F. Christ, only cowards throw things at performers. Anyone throws ANYTHING next to me at a show and their balls are forfeit. Please believe.
Tag me in, Doc.
Pfft.
I agree. Throwing shit is for pussies. The pople who do this are always the types of people who don’t go to shows for the music. They’re usually there to start a fights, ninja pit, or do some other really dumb shit in general. The only thing gayer than Attack! Attack! is attending their performance just to throw something at them.
Or people that go to see big bands like Metallica and have no etiquette whatsoever.
Nah I think if it’s Attack Attack it’s ok.
No I disagree, this was just as funny as the Attack Attack! video
Absolutely
Yet still not as hilarious as the video where LOTS of shit gets thrown at nickelback.
Nate’s right THAT was fucking epic gold
Are there any Nickelback fans in Portugal?
*SILENCE*
You wanna hear some rock and roll or just go home?
*WHAM*
The rock that hit Chad Kroeger was not nearly big enough.
I wish someone sold it on e-Bay I’d have sold my house for it!!!
I would sell my future daughters virginity for such an item.
i think it was funny as shit how quick Randy Blythe bolted over as soon as the song was done. And like the poster above said, pick a less menacing looking target. I think Doc is a cool guy but he does have the appearance of one of those you guys you dont just go around throwing water at.
And i forgot to add, this doesnt surprise me that this happened, I was at the Nashville stop on this tour and i have never seen such a large pack of douchebag fans as was out in the floor section at that show. Metallica really brings the mass crowds of idiots out in full force.
Doc was right in front of me when he got pegged, and he looked like he was ready to murder that douche. I was too, that really soured the end of the set, and the rest was so awesome too. They even had Billy Milano of S.O.D on and played United Forces!
I would of slapped the shit outta both of ‘em if I was Randy. Person a) for throwing shit at my stage and person b) for totally acting like a douch bag “rockstar”. If you’re gonna go through taking your guitar off and set it down in the middle of a song and jump into the crowd, at least sock the mother fucker responsible. What a weak move on Docs’ part. Even Axl fucking Rose of all people got into it for real with a fan!
Axl Rose>Doc Coyle
It wasn’t in the middle of the song. It was the ending.
It didn’t even seem like he found the guy responsible…so…
Ok the middle of a set how’s that?
Are we really gonna split hairs here?
We all know what I’m getting at.
thats always LOGs last song
I wouldn’t know because Lamb of God just don’t do it for me. I wouldn’t go to see them unless they were with a better band. You know, like anyone else in the metal scene.
“douche bag rockstar”?
….
I think being pissed because you got hit in the face with a cup of water because of what? you were playing music? doing you job?…… completely justified. if im just chillin at a bar or say walking down the street and some dude hits me in the face with a cup of water……. ahhh god dammit imma kill him… I dont understand how someone cant understand how pissed off someone gets when theyre hit in the face with something for no reason. Truthfully i woulda lost respect for him if he just stood there and took it. fuck that
What are you trying to be me now?
Ha! You know?
I’m just saying when you perform there’s a very good chance some dick is gonna chuck shit at you. That’s all. Settle the fuck down all you defenders of LoG everywhere.
So he’s just supposed to hope the right fan gets pointed out? And then face some bullshit lawsuit when said “fan” finds an ambulance chaser? Yeah right. You are an imbecile.
Yeah I am wanna do something about it? (stares menacingly…walks away)
I hope that cup was filled with AIDS.
“a) I like God Forbid, b) I like Doc Coyle, and c) I like Lamb of God.”
lol
Good for Doc. He showed he had the balls to call the guy out but the restraint to not get himself arrested. He handled that perfectly.
No he handled it like a pussy. As I previously stated why go through all that to do nothing? I’ll tell you why Tough Guy posturing. In my opinion it was an extremely arrogant thing to do. “Hey look at me, I’m gonna jump off stage and stand on a crowd barrier and give hard looks. Argh I’m so angry looking, oh I’m such a tough mutha fucka ARGH!!!”
Doc=WEAK
One word – Metal
Its weak as shit to throw stuff on stage at performers, but im gonna go ahead and be that guy and say-
I wish it had been Dallas.
hahaha i was gonna post the same thing but then i saw ur comment. high five!
My sentiments exactly. Fuck Diamond Dallas Coyle with his brothers’ bent dick.
I was there, and was pissed because I dont want Lamb of God not wanting to hit the DFW area because of some immature prick up front. There was SO much of this dumb shit going on at Mayhem Fest too. Immature little dipshits who are there in their goddamn neon colored BFMV shirts throwin shit and trying to look like fuckin Van Damme in the pit…pussies
Yeah, they’re totally not going to come back to that market because their fill in guitarist got hit with a cup of water.
I suppose you make a good point haha. On another note, security should be more concerned abuot the perfomers instead of people smoking joints and crowd surfing.
Doc is smart enough to know not to compromise his professionalism. I guess some good might come of this. Maybe some people will find out who Doc Coyle is and thus find out about God Forbid, therefore enlightening them to the fact GOD FORBID > (insert any other band name here).
-Me
p.s. shotgun no one flaming me for what I have said
God Forbid eats a giant dick!
Yeah, I’m sure this is going to make a lot of new fans for them.
Man!How embarrasing!!
anyone else think that chris adler is playing like absolute shit here?
man im glad somebody else noticed it too……. not one of those triggered kick drum hits sounded on time.
They should have kicked that stuipd dickhead out of the show!!! Security didn’t do shit!!!
Guessing no one really saw who did it.
Not to be fucked with? He didn’t do a fucking thing. Walking over and giving a guy a dirty look and saying some swear words isn’t intimidating, it’s a cowards move. A real man would have knocked the person out. Apparently the members of God Forbid are as tame as their shitty music.
i believe he was asking who did it, then randy came over to sort shit out. randy is kinda his boss on that gig i would suppose….
Knocked the person out when they had no idea who threw the cup?
But you’re a real man Dave you would have knocked someone out regardless to prove how much of a man you are and how un-pussy like you are.
A real man would have ended up in jail for a stupid reason.
You fucking idiot.
^ That
Actually legally speaking the cat that threw the cup is guilty of battery. Doc coulda (if he was actually unfuckwithable) got down there exchanged words and decked him and probably got all the way away with it.
It’s illegal to follow battery with battery. Only in self defense, and the event was over, so that’s out. All you tough guys are just small dicked assholes.
No my wife says my dick isn’t small, and that’s why i said he could exchange words. Parlay that into an instigation and he could totally get away with it. You know these record labels have great legal departments these days. Ass.
Couldn’t one of those guys in the yellow shirts – you know, the ones who are supposed to be responsible for safety – assume the responsibility of doing something. I guess I’m naive.
What are they going to do? Comb the floor questioning people who did it?
Having once worked (briefly) for a concert promotion company that provided “security” as well as parking attendants and concession vendors, I can tell you that not all security has training of any kind, whatsoever. SOME security is hired because the venue hopes they look too intimidating for anyone to dare try anything, and that’s all they have to offer – just a body between the pit and the stage and the illusion of order. One local venue keeps putting out job ads for guards because the only people they can find to work security are tall fat dudes who want to make a few extra bucks every other night and spend their whole shift text messaging girls on their cell phones, not paying any attention to what’s going on in the club.
Generally, I have little respect for either venue security or for bands’ personal security, but that’s a rant for another day…
Band’s security is hit or miss. Sometimes you get some rad people. Sometimes you get people who act like they’re guarding the president.
Fuck yeah Doc keeps it real.
Dave you are an idiot – so Doc clobbers the guy in front of an arena full of people and gets his ass sued. He is not a coward and you are a douchebag full of fake testosterone. Go flip up your collar, down some more steroids, and impart more wisdom upon us… what a jock dumbass.
Bingo. My thoughts exactly… when did it become “cool” to act like a neanderthal? I’m glad to see that there are still some people who live with their feet firmly planted on the ground….
I thought we covered all this “He’s a pussy for not punching the guy” controversy back when the video came out of Howard Jones confronting a racist douchebag fuckwit heckler at a show a month or so ago… But then I stopped paying attention to the thread after a while, so in retrospect I suppose I didn’t stick around long enough to see if anything actually got resolved or not…
The fact of the matter is that no one will ever beat Mike “STILL FUCKNUTS” Patton for style, originality, and pure bat-shit crazy; thus, no one pretends to his Chair position on the Douchebag Regulatory Committee – they only try to defend themselves when pushed, as did Doc.
Seriously?!
This is supposed to be a badass metal concert.
If Doc wanted to be metal (a.k.a. “not a pussy,”) then he would’ve smashed that guys face in.
If he didn’t know which guy it was, you hit every dude in the general area until you’re confident you got the right one!
Fuck yeah, now that’s what I call metal.
Wow, I didn’t know being a retarded meathead=metal
Fuck yeah Meat=Metal. You didn’t know? You must be an emo loving little wuss
another video i forced myself to sit through from this show showed Randy flipping off the crowd mid song cause someone threw a drink at him and then he walked further down the stage and another drink just missed him.
that being said, if you watch you’ll see Randy throwing half-empty plastic water bottles into the crowd all the time. if you think people aren’t gonna throw them back at you your fucking retarded.
either way, god forbid and lamb of gay both suck just as much dick as Metallica so it really don’t matter. i’m surprised doc didn’t ask for a tissue to wipe away his bitch tears.
when the peformer throws a bottle its a sign of admiration, when the crowd throws bottles its rude.
Thems are the rules, if you dont like them get the hell out of metal.
go shove your so-called ‘rules’ up your ass.
TEXAS!
go figure, biggest douche bag redneck per capita in the world
Okay, that was just fucked up, but I mean I don’t mind people throwing stuff at shitty talent, like Attack Attack, or this one video with 50 cent in Japan getting bottled, I lol’d hard.
Also did anybody notice that there was no fucking movement at all during this song WTF
Apparently the same thing happened (dick throwing water onstage at Lamb of God) a few years ago, ALSO IN DALLAS.
Texas is the reason…
randy kinda looked pissed at doc at first. don’t think he knew what was going on.
Reportedly, he can’t see much without his glasses.
i’m the same way. can’t see shit.
A few years back, my brother and I went to see God Forbid opening for Dimmu. There was a short black guy with dreadlocks in the audience that really looked nothing like the Byron, but I jokingly told my brother it was. He believed me. By pure chance, Doc was standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE GUY. So my brother goes over and starts telling the guy how good his band was onstage. He went along with it at first and finally said “dude, I’m not in God Forbid.” My drunk ass brother actually said “Oh shit…well you guys do all look alike.” He was joking, of course, and the guy was laughing his ass off…but Doc looked like he was going to FUCK MY BROTHER UP. I’m guessing he could have done it too. Good times.
I was REALLY hoping another cup of water would hit him again as he was going back up stage. Would have made my day.
Bad move – tossing the water at him, but…dropping that poor guitar like that – the fucker does not deserve to have it!
look at the size of that venue!!! where the fuck it this?! it looks like a texas mega church. i mean , fuck, wow. LOG are huge.
anyway, ya, thats some bullshit.but look, theres drunk people at shows, theres poser dumbasses who think throwing things might be cool, theres redneck jocks who think moshing is boxing….its the unfortunate side to a metal show atmosphere. have fun and play. then if anything, spot the guy, and during the next band, just tackle his ass in the moshpit. problem soved.
i always assumed as a member of the audience it was upon myself and others to throw a fist at whoever bitchass couldnt handle his metal
