Rate The Musician/Artist #31 - Godsmack
Sorry folks, was a bit busy over the last few, and as promised here are the suggested ones that were in the thread. If you wish for me to do one of your choosing, let me know, and give me a second option, possibly a third, I may reject if I wish to save that one for later.
Also leaving these each up for 2 days. But this time, we have a band who hopefully goes straight out of line, and into the top ten. Godsmack http://www.godsmackdomain.com/godsmack_3large022503.jpg Godsmack is an American heavy metal band from Boston, Massachusetts formed in 1996.

I thin ka lot of people are being too hard on them, but they're kind of boring and generic, repeating the same songs over and over again. They're a slightly more talented, slightly less attractive Linkin Park. |

How can you even compare them?? |
Quote:
Their styles have nothing to do with the comparison, which was actually already spelled out. Comparisons, you see, can be done along specific points. Pointing out similarities between the Germans and the Japanese does not mean the Japanese tried to wiped out the Jews, for example. A statement that monotheistic religions are similar does not automatically mean they all worship the prophet Mohammad (pbuh). Saying that two bands are similar in the way they recycle the same artistic devices ad nauseum is not a musical critique equating the style of their music (Only the quality and methodology). As I close this, I am anticipating that you are likely staring at the screen, blankly, trying to figure out what the big words mean. The Samaritan that I am, I will remind you to wipe the drool of your chin before you short the keyboard. |
:foc: some of you :mad:

They are fucking awesome live. I bet if many of you saw them you're bullshit low scores would be higher.

Saw them before they got national attention, even. Sorry, but they're generic live and in studio. I know you have a huge mancrush on them, but whatever. |

If so, they are doing a tremendous job.

(And Jack White uses the same expensive, processing heavy pedal that Tom Morello uses for his Lo Fi sound, to boot! :lol: ) |
Hey now, it takes a lot of effort to sound like you don't give a shit.

Or you can just ask your wife to pick up the drums.

To be fair KK, your original post was fairly vague. Could have easily been misinterpretted. Even by one who isn't a moronic boob.

Though to be fair, I wouldn't have assumed the average poster was a huge idiot. Krispy just doesn't understand things very well, even when said directly to him. I bet he'll make a casual post on this one, too. ;) |
You are comparing apples and oranges though.. And saying you are.. Your whole "they recycle the same artistic devices ad nauseum is not a musical critique equating the style of their music (Only the quality and methodology)." is ridiculous..
Hey guys, lets compare roses and feces cause they both smell.. Sure the argument could be made that you can compare any musical acts because it's all music, but that doesn't mean it's not stupid.. |
Godsmack rules
THE END |
You better do Tool on this motherfucker pretty god damn soon
