No. Except for Eyesore. He likes everything.

I was just discussing this band on another forum moments ago. I can't stand this band and 99% of the reason why is the vocals. I don't really find the music all that interesting either.

Heard better, heard worse.

I like them enough. I haven't heard the last album though. They put on a great show too.

They are firmly rooted into the "This Sucks" family.

i dont mind them. They have a few songs i enjoy. I think they need to drop Rombolla and get a new guitar player because he recycles riff after riff

Good band...good heavy riffs...crunching guitars...great grooves...I like them...my 15 year old LOVES them...

I have no problem with Godsmack and actually enjoy some of their music. Unlike most bands in their genre they actually do guitar solos now and then (this probably has to do with the huge Alice In Chains influence they have).

I like their 1st album. The 2nd one was ok, just a bit samey as the 1st. The 3rd album sounded just like the first 2. I haven't heard anything since. Saw them live when they toured for the 1st album. They were ok, but I remember the guitarist and bassist did that hunched-over-bounce-up-and-down-like-the-guys-in-Korn for the whole show. Kinda stupid looking, if you ask me. And the lead singer is a little fidget like Glenn Danzig.

i don't like my metal as heavy as Godsmack. that's just br00t4l.

I wouldnt call them guitar solos, They are wah driven noise if you ask me. I like some Godsmack songs but throwing in the same pre solo section in 10 different songs then covering up terrible theory and technique with a wah pedal kills me. Tony Rombolla is one of the worst guitar players in the history of rock music.

I remember reading an interview with him stating that he didnt even know what drop d tuning was after years of playing the guitar.

More of that passive-agressiveness!


I think they have their moments, but overall not my 'bag'.

Their ok, if they come on the radio I don't turn it but I won't buy it.

Not a fan.I had a couple of their cds but traded them.They're too samey if ya ask me.

Wrong. But I do like Godsmack. Haha. Good music to work out to (not that I work out or anything), or for similar activities. Just mindless music, but done well for what it is. Their acoustic EP is pretty sweet, though.



That's a wicked riff!

i dont mind that riff, i think Tony R. is so bad at guitar. When i listen to this band i like the groove of the songs and such but those same repeated riffs over and over again on each album kind of get old to me. Tony should just work on his rhythm and stay away from the leads cuz most of his solos are on my worst solos of all time list.

Fav songs from them are

Bad Religion which 75% of the song is played with no hands on the guitar

Whatever - when i first heard this song i was like thats badas$

Sick of my life is probably my favorite song from them

I think they have some ok songs but i don't consider myself a fan.

I actually really like Godsmack. I think that they get better with each release. Granted, their first few albums were more steeped in Nu metal, but I think their most current release IV is a great hard rock/alt rock album. And their cover of Good Times Bad Times is pretty freakin' sweet!

I LOVE me some Godsmack! 10/10 I'll be seeing them for the third time in August!
