Godsmack = Bad. And that's 'bad' as in 'not good', not 'bad' as in 'BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDD!' |

I have no problems with Godsmack. They don't ever claim to be metal, or brutal, or hardcore, so you can't really lump them in with the nu-metal bands. They're just modern hard rock done fairly well. I got to hang out with the guys from GS when they came to the club I worked at. They're pretty cool and down to earth, but Sully can't hold his liquor for shit.

I like their sound especially vocals, but their songs and lyrics are so repetitive that it either puts me to sleep or really annoys me. |

They don't claim to metal though. If you listen to the guys talk about they band, the say they're just a hard rock band trying to bring back guitar solos |

There are a lot worse bands out there but I don't find them all that interesting. Not Nu-Metal. There's no rapping and almost no whiney vocals. There are actual rock riffs too. |

All their songs were formerly Alice In Chains F-sides. Keep Away has one good riff, though. |

ya i agree they are not nu-metal. They aren't good but, like crims said, there are definitely worse things to listen to. |

I'm trying to think of other bands that would be in the same category as Godsmack but can't think of any. Can you guys come up with any? |

I'd Say Finger-Eleven fits nicely in that Hard Rock category although their material is stronger than Godsmack IMO |

The Bands 2 guitarists do a very good job at creating intesting dynamics and atmosphere. Listen to their albums Tip or self titled, I sugest you avoid The Greyest of Blue Skies. My Favorite tracks, Quicksand, Awake and Dreaming, Costume for a gutterball, Absent Elements and Obvious Heart they have some pretty nice solos on their most recent release (self titled). Edit: forgot to mention 2 other great tracks: "Suffocate" and "Sick of it all" |

Since when is nu-metal about rapping? to me Nu-metal is MTV/radio friendly simple metal. |
