Lamb of God also did this with "Redneck"

Not according to Randy, they didn't.

Generally, it's not about any one person in particular. It's about people in the music industry whose egos become needlessly inflated and they show it. It's a general song. It's applicable to anyone in their life.

I don't have the actual source but I read it on Wikipedia way back

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Redneck_(song)&oldid=602726840

Don't know why it got deleted.

"It's pretty clear to everyone who the song [Redneck] is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you'll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone's gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone's gonna get punched in the mouth... And if that means someone's going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they're gonna sing a lyric about themselves."
