Anyone who says yes to this band must have been born after Kurt Cobain killed himself. Otherwise some brain damage has likely occurred.

They not only stole their name and sound from AIC, but godsmack went as far as to steal their sun logo from them too.

RIAA Gold & Platinum Update: Godsmack

Total: 10.6 Million

They may not be Hall material, but they're still relevant in the hard rock and metal world. They should make it to 11 or more at some point.

They released a demo in 1997.

Multiple albums with 3 or more #1 singles, major festival headliner. Yes I think they are definitely worthy of the Hall of Fame

Say what you will about their name or whatever. Godsmack have alot of hard rockin' kick ass tunes.

I have seen these guys a couple of times at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY. They put on a fine set. My only quibbles when seeing them are that at some point the lead singer gets behind the drums and with the regular drummer has a 'duel' that probably lasts 10 minutes. Guess the rest of the band is back there getting high. The other thing is that the lead singer (and believe me alot of other bands do this) is always 'begging' the crowd to start a pit or whatever.

My take is: You either get a pit or you don't. Asking for one is lame.

A godsmack fan from the beginning. They had a good start and kept evolving. A lot of hits a lot of shows (great artists live) and this year is their 25th year of kicking ass. It shouldn't even be a question if they are worthy.
