Captain Chaos47 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yea, I saw them in Philly open for Metallica. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81+83+84=Posse Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Not bad, should be a good cd as always. They are pretty much a straight forward rock band. I'm looking forward to the new Rob Zombie and Tool as well. New Zombie song if you are interested- http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/geffen/robzombie/audio/foxyfoxy_hi.asx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Godsmack is probably my favorite of the new generation of rock and metal bands. I dig the new track a lot. Hopefully, the rest of the album sounds as good. I thought Faceless was probably their best album up until this point. "Straight out of Line" just kicks ass. I never tire of listening to that song. \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonBurgundy&Gold Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Let me guess. Lots of grunts, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssssss, and vocals about being lied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonBurgundy&Gold Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Eh, can't say I like it. ...and just as I was going to say it wasn't anything like I described, the end of the song comes and he starts with the yeeeeaaaaahhhhs and the grunts of "speak" and the song is about speaking the truth (not lying but close enough, lol). I was pretty much dead on the money without even listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonef1de Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Godsmack rocks. I personally still really like the 1st untitled album. Whatever, Keep Away and Bad Religon are my favorite songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I saw them at a small show in Philly, and let me tell you, I've seen Metallica numerous times and Godsmack blew them away. The opened with Vampires, green smoke, then they had clips of old horror movies and then they came out and jammed. Also, they did a 2 drum set little cover a bunch of old songs, some Doors, Led Zep and some others. You have to see them in concert. I also have the Live DVD and it's pretty bad ass. Their website is pretty cool too, www.godsmack.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASMTrainer Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Love it. Can't wait to get the CD. Wife and I saw them open up for Metallica at the Pepsi last year. RonB&G, dude, don't hate man, you don't like them that's cool but don't come in the thread just to trash them. Not everybody likes the same kind of music. I have heard a lot of talk on here about Mars Volta, I think they suck but a lot of people on here love them, you don't see me going to the threads to trash them.

RonBurgundy&Gold Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I didn't come in just to hate. I actually listened to the song and gave it a fair chance. Don't be mad that my prediction of what the song would sound like was damn near totally correct. ...and for the record, I don't hate Godsmack. They were entertaining when the few times I've seen them with the Deftones and at the HFStival. I just think once you've heard one album you've heard the rest of them.

TradeTheBeal! Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Godsmack is really just a kind of lame Alice in Chains ripoff band - like Creed rips off Pearl Jam....not terrible, but just because its not as awful as most of rock radio doesn't mean it's actually good. Try Porcupine Tree, Devin Townsend/SYL, or Opeth if you think you can handle quality/non-corporate approved hard rock or metal...or hold your breath for that sure-to-be-lame Bush reunion album.

TODD Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've seen Godsmack live, they're really badass. I'm not a fan of their studio stuff or the entire post-grunge/nu-metal genre in general, but they put on a hell of a show, at a festival, no less. A really sweet drum solo by the drummer, then a really sweet drum solo by the vocalist. Very cool. I don't really dig the song though; sounds very... typical.

Island Boy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I love the new song, its does kick major A%#!!!! Ive also seen them open for Metallica in Norfolk VA, and I believe they put on a much better show than tallica!! And if your a big fan of Godsmack and havnt gotten there newest DVD, you best get your butt down to Best Buy. Its a awesome DVD!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborneskins Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I saw GodSmack open up for sevendust at a small club in Fayetteville, NC (Club Metro) in 1998. They were awesome. Nothing like a small venue to see them play. I also saw them at a festival and IMO it was not as good as the club was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufumonk Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Alice in Chains? I don't know what I'm listening to then because I don't hear them at all. Their first album, Sulley spent a bulk of the record trying to emulate Layne Staley. He's gotten better about it since then but it's still music that's heavily influenced by AiC. Why do you think they called the band Godsmack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I like their slower paced songs like voodoo but as a whole they hurt my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really thought about why they called themselves Godsmack. I guess I didn't hear the AiC because all I ever heard from them was what was on the air, Rooster, Down in a Hole, Them Bones, Man in the Box. I don't think they sound anything like GS but that's just me. We all hear different things. Maybe I'll have to go back listen to Dirt and Godsmack again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll have to go back listen to Dirt and Godsmack again A friend of mine put it best: "It's like they took I Stay Away and used that as a blueprint for the entire album". Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate their music but it's not exactly original. They are a decent straight forward rock band, which is fine, but they aren't going to inspire anyone. They have talent, I won't deny that. At least they aren't Earshot, who blatantly ripped off Tool but have zero musical talent to pull it off.

Air Force Cane Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 sounds too much like most of their other songs. Love to listen to them at the gym when working out. Down with the Sickness baby :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
