Godsmack is one of the nicest bands that I know. I met them through another close friend of mine: the drummer of Sevendust. Sevendust played here on my b-day!
Find me @ Sanctus or on Halloween and we'll have a chat.
and btw, I'm trying really hard not to tell my opinion of Vanessa...I'm hoping someone else will say it for me. .
And with the mention of Sevendust, somewhere, Judas just fell in love with you.......watch out, he WILL hump your leg for some sevendust.
The first time Sevendust played here(at Moose's) my date and I were going to the concert and decided to get a bite at Spicey's first....while we are eating, this guy with dreds comes out of Kyoto(sp?) and asks if he could share our table....we sat and b.s.-ed with him for about 45 minutes while we ate our dinner.....he asked if we were going to the concert...we said yes....he said see ya there.....my date knew the whole time who he was....but I had no fucking clue....imagine my surprise when we went to the concert and I discovered that we had just had dinner with LaJohn(Sp?) Witherspoon!
I'm Jewish. I don't work out. If god had wanted us to bend over, she would have put diamonds on the floor.

The thing is, if you are a musician and your next album is going to have a darker feel to it, just say that. Throwing out the "G" word just doesn't seem to add to your crediblity. (Ever seen Sid and Nancy? There's a great scene on the bus during the American tour where a roadie (I think) is trying to sell Johnny Rotten on a song he wrote - "it's got a punky sound to it." Too funny)Let fans draw their own conclusions. They will accept it or not. It's the marketing I object to, not her beliefs or the direction she wants to explore with her music. I'd say more, but I sense I am rambling like a drunkard! Wait, I am a drunkard!
What makes Goth music is a question I turn over a lot. For instance can I play something that goes well with the vib and even if it has become popular and not get shit for it...
Example: about a month ago caught a song on the radio and thought hey that would go well at Sanctus. I spent the next week listening to crap radio to get the artist and song... the Song : Dido "White Flags"
However last week it was something like #2 on the pop charts, now I don't know if I'll play it now despite the fact I really dig it. If I get a demand for it after mentioning it perhaps I'll change my mind again...lol
(I know I'm probably gonna catch some crap from someone over liking that song Oh well...)
Music IMHO, if it sounds good it is good.
Can I be your new best friend? Ok, can I at least touch you?
By the by...............MAJOR BIG GODSMACK FAN OVA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also know that Sully is a student of Larie Cabot but I will keep my opinions of her to myself.
Anywho, nice to meet ya.
I'll introduce ya to the boys next time they come through here. Just don't slam Laurie Cabot around Sully, they are really close friends now. I don't discuss her with him either.
