A Alice In Chains and Metallica-influenced band that has a lot of potential, but is restricting itself to simple commercial song structures to cash in on the nu metal trend.
If you want an idea how Godsmack would of sounded like if they didn't make music for money, listen to Testament's "The Gathering" album.
A band of non-talents. Career ripoff artists. A band that plays a game of media manipulation. A band of loose-plagiarism. They have created their whole career by ripping off Alice in Chains. Just look at their band name - Album names, and album covers. I think this is the negative side of second generation grunge - Bands like Godsmack, Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Collective Soul etc. Bands for MTV kids. Ripoffs of original bands like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden etc. I advise anyone to stay away from these uncreative, watered-down grunge clones.
The bassline in Godsmack "Running Blind" sounds similar to the bassline in Alice in Chains' "I Stay Away"...Hmm...Why am I not suprised?

Godsmack is hard rock band from boston that kicks ass. Lead singer Sully Erna is a wiccan. The name godsmack was deemed suitable when sully was raggin another band member of a cold sore on his lip. The next day sully walks in with a cold sore on HIS lip, they then referred to that as a 'Godsmack'
When they play Straight out of line, we're gonna start a huge mosh pit!
A mediocre Nu-Metal band that has become popular over the last 5 years. Heavily influenced by Alice In Chains and Metallica. And it's God Smack. Two words.
Godsmack is going to be stinking up the Metallica tour this summer.
