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 ![]() Godsmack is an American heavy metal band from Boston, Massachusetts formed in 1996. The band, led by founder, frontman, and songwriter Sully Erna, and consists of guitarist Tony Rombola, bassist Robbie Merrill and drummer Shannon Larkin.

6.
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. |

![]() 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. |

Everyone says this about every band. How many of the bands that I listen to am I going to see live? Very few, and if I do they are a band that I am in love with so I'll be seeing the show through rose colored glasses anyway. So I don't give a fuck how they sound live. If you can't get it right on disc, you can't get it right.

Hell yeah, they're artistic as Hell! I mean, they even do their songs live to four tracks. I mean, despite obvious overdubs, they're low fi!
(And Jack White uses the same expensive, processing heavy pedal that Tom Morello uses for his Lo Fi sound, to boot! ![]() |

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

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.. |
