converge241 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 by releasing the acoustic album LOL seriously though i dont think that they sound like them 100% of the time (even if they were an AIC cover band after sully's time on drums with seka/strip mind). There is a similarity and the comparisons are not unfounded but that "running blind" song sounds like a Jar of Flies outtake moreso than any other song before (like an AIC song that is) no offense to anyone that likes them but yeesh why would you want to do that if you are them?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Because they can't think of anything better to do.
cabbageboy Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Heh I heard Godsmack's new song and seriously thought it was something that Alice in Chains had done 10 years ago.
snuffbox Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 godsmack is one of the more pathetic acts in music today...Ill give em that much.
converge241 Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Posted April 7, 2004 exactly, thats what im saying it's really bad/obvious its like "hey they found another unreleased track from the alice vaults!"
B. Brian Brunzell Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Because they can't think of anything better to do. And that's the biggest problem with Rock music these days. Fuck, be original. At least groups like The Mars Volta don't really sound like anybody. Of course, that's why they're BRILLIANT.
Guest Coffey Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 You know, it doesn't matter what year it is, or whom the band is, every band that comes out gets called "a X band rip-off." It's like no one is allowed to sound remotely close to anyone else at all. So much having someone else's band be an inspiration, heh? Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, blah blah blah. It all goes back somewhere.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 The new album sucks cock but the older stuff isn't too horrible.
haVoc Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 How old are those guys? Sometimes little Sully looks like he could be in his late 20's and other times he looks like he's 45.
Vyce Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Yes, the comparisons are over with - Godsmack will NEVER be even in the same league as AIC. Staley could probably put out a better album. And I'm talking about Staley as he is *today*.
