More Info:
Founded in February '95, when lead vocalist Sully Erna decided to step out from behind the drum kit to front the band with bassist Robbie Merrill, guitarist Tony Rombola and drummer Tommy Stewart (drummer Shannon Larkin joined in June 2002, replacing Tommy Stewart). These Boston-based rockers have sold well over 8 million records on their first four albums. With the first, (a re-master of the indie record they made for $2,600. 00) 1998's self-titled Godsmack has sold over 3. 8 million to date, 2000's Awake has sold 2. 5 million, 2003's Faceless, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart with over 270,000 records in it's first week has scanned over 1. 5 million and their last album IV which also debuted at #1 with over 211,000 records in it's and has scanned almost 800,000 to date. Godsmack has more top ten Active Rock singles than ANY other group in the history of BDS & R&R. They have charted an amazing total of 13 hits with five #1's including Speak, their hit from Godsmack IV and Awake, Straight Out of Line as well as the twice-Grammy-nominated I Stand Alone (from the Scorpion King soundtrack), which was also the most played Active Rock song in 2002. Awake's Vampires earned Godsmack their fourth Grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 2002. Features the previously unreleased version of Led Zeppelin's Good Times Bad Times which will be going to rock and active rock radio in mid October. The DVD includes 75 minute acoustic performance filmed at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.Reviews:
They named themselves after an Alice in Chains ditty about'"prepare to have your mind blown'"heroin, but the buff Bostonians don't look like the kind of guys even remotely familiar with the needle and the damage done. Penning snarly, bottom-heavy anthems for Navy recruiting ads'"that's right in their wheelhouse. Amazingly, Godsmack have been cranking out Spartan nu-metal for a decade now ("Awake," "Straight Out of Line"). Also included here: an acoustic performance from Vegas.
