Counterfeit God

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Counterfeit God" is a single by Black Label Society, featured on their 2000 release, Stronger Than Death. The video shows Mark Wahlberg as the bassist due to the fact they didnt have one at the time.

The song is about televangelists, much like the earlier Ozzy Osbourne which Zakk co-wrote, Miracle Man, which dealt with the hypocrisy of Jimmy Swaggart. In a 2000 interview, Zakk said "I saw a TV evangelist. This guy sells out arenas, and he touches people on the head, and they're supposed to be blind, and then they're not blind anymore. That's the biggest backstabbing version of God I've ever...Anton LaVey's got nothing over this guy. That's pure Satanism to me. He's backstabbing God so bad it's not even funny. People are paying money for that, and believe in that. How the hell are they believing it? This guy's playing God. To me, it's pure blasphemy."

It is the entrance theme of Martin Stone, a British wrestler currently under the RQW Promotion.

The music video features Rick Phillips, a teacher at Valencia High School.
