I think this is a shot at him though, I believe that the Shakespearian connections are more of a coincidence
In the song he says "is this it at the top?" and "you're just in time to move aside, no one ever comes here stays for long" basically addressing the fleeting nature of interests in that scene. and the whole recurring theme of pride being wicked and all of that. It's well known that Craig was kicked out of his own band for being a douche bag, its not a secret. And nick, I do think that they have a lot of integrity but there are other people who are pissed off at the type of music/attitudes that are coming out of big bands that are also speaking out against it. Keith Buckley from ETID another very well respected band wrote an article about it:
ACB themselves entitled the song "petty" because it is petty that they are saying it but he believes it needed to be said. I've shared the stage with these dudes more than a few times and they do have a lot of integrity but they are also willing to stand up for what they think is right, regardless of what anyone else thinks. We have all seen that dude be an asshole to a lot of people and when people are like that towards your friends and your fans, it pisses you off. I thought it was funny that Craig acted all shocked that someone would write a song like that about him. Dudes a scrub and everyone knows it, ACB just had the balls to say something about it.
