Rammstein is much better than Godsmack, just look at the names: the gentlemen's Deathdisco/leather band took it's name from the Rammstein airforce base in Germany(can you say weekend pass? Rrr-ow). They also play with fire and shave their heads (hey, that's pretty cool, now isn't it?). The also got to be the bar band in XXX with Vin Deisel (how cool is that?).
Godsmack takes it's name from a lethal dose of heroin and they look like extras on old episodes of Headbanger's Ball (how boring). I'd rather sponsor Buck Cherry in a twelve step program than go see Godsmack do their weak metal drivel.
Have a nice day.

Rammstein are far more interesting then Godsmack.

I second that!
Godsmack == Clone of Metallica circa 1986
Rammstein == An Eeeeevil, Gay Kraftwerk.

I don't know the names of the guys in Rammstein but I do know the singer's and drummer's in Godsmack. The singer is Sully and the drummer is Shannon. Now what kinds of names are those for guys in a band like Godsmack?!

"Hi, I'm the lead singer of Godsmack and if I weren't so stoned right now I'd introduce you to my burly security guards...wait a minute, what the fuck as you doing wearing a goddamn happy kiddy shirt, you fucker?"

Godsmack is the pits.

I just Rammstein Aus Berlin at Amoeba Records in the Haight. When I listened to it in the car with my dad I thought of lifting some weights! I like it!

From left to right in the Godsmack Pic:

Deiter: Look et my Clint Eeestwood imprezzshun...Ey em now Cowboy...yessss?

Grigori: Look at me...I'm the newer, funkier George Michaels, with new collagen enhanced lips (and head.)

Bob II: Yeah, sure I'm the love child of Bob (Gilligan) Denver and the chick who played missus Howell...but now I'm all "edgy" and "dark" and that makes me cool...Right? RIGHT!?

Andrew: (depressed, he silently ponders how much his younger brother -- Richard Melville Hall -- is currently, and possibly will always be, more famous than he...Andrew Ridgeley Hall.)

I can't remember actually having heard any Godsmack, but if this were actually true then they would be great.

I should've been more specific...
Godsmack == Clone of Metallica cover band circa 1986

Godsmack are better.

No no no! Godsmack, along with Days of the New, were Alice in Chains rip-offs. They sounded so much like AiC at first I thought their songs were new mediocre AiC songs when I first heard them on the radio. While they won't admit it, Godsmack obviously got their name from the AiC's song "God Smack".

Rammstein is nothing like Godsmack, and slightly more tolerable. If you want gruff german vocals, Laibach is much, much better.

Laibach is much, much better.
Laibach ain't better than nobody.

Rammstein is nothing like Godsmack
Though not identical a lot of the sounds generated by the guitars in Godsmack sound like the stuff coming out from the Rammsteins.

Godsmack are better.
Godsmack are better than some bands but not Rammstein. And, I am not that big a Rammstein band, either. I do, however, like songs 1, 2 and 4 from a CD mentioned in a previous post.

How I got started writing for Alternative Press: I met editor Jason Pettigrew at a Keiji Haino show in NYC in 1994/95 or thereabouts (this was at the original Knitting Factory), we had a pleasant conversation. I pestered him for a year or more to let me write for the magazine, sending him clips from the NJ alt-weekly I was writing for, with no response. Finally, he called me up one day in late '96/early '97 and said, "Will you interview Godsmack so I don't have to?" I said yes, and have been writing for AP off and on ever since. Thanks, Godsmack!

誤訳侮辱, Tuesday, 25 December 2012 14:35 (eleven years ago) link

I interviewed a band that he loved and he hated it so much he never let me write for AP again. So fuck you, Deftones!

one year passes...

So Godsmack have a new song and it's shitty and stupid, and as some dude said on Twitter, it's "like a hysterical nu metal update of Boston's "Rock And Roll Band"" -- really, listen to the lyrics and be amazed:

Kicker -- my friend Jeff Copas of the band Sixteen Deluxe just said this on FB:

True story: Having played The Middle East in Cambridge in 1995, while Godsmack played downstairs, I can rightfully attest that 1) no one was listening; and 2) no one was caring about the empty room they were playing to. We did laugh about them the rest of the tour, however, which was invaluable.
