Godsmack tabs.
Boston ? - not really Compare them to whom ever you want, the other band will emerge pale in comparison. First, allow me to say that ALL of the Godsmack material to date is kick butt hard rock. Now, go buy all the albums and go see the shows - you will agree !!
While many people generalize that GS is from "Boston" - that is not exactly true. They claim to hail most recently from Salem, MA - the Witch City. I lived there for a few years - cool place but too many tourists - awesome to be there at the end of October.
In speaking with some friends (who had mutual friends with GS members) - I find out that at least a couple band members grew up in and around Southern NH. This is where I live, now - also a cool place to live.
Go to Boston, if you want some grime and crime. Go to Salem, if you wanna get Smack'ed !!.

Debut album completely blew me away......
The raw power and emotion on each and every track on this album is almost over-whelming. Hailing from Salem, Massachusetts is Godsmack with their self-titled debut CD. From the explosive first single "Whatever" to the penance of "Now Or Never," the boys from the U. S. capital of Witches sure know how to capture exactly what they're going for. "Keep Away" (one of my personal favorites) sums up the way all of us have felt about someone at one time or another, and "Moon Baby" does the same, but to the opposite end of the scale. If you're a connoiseur of heavy and/or emotionally drawing music, you HAVE to buy this album!.
one of the best metal CDs around
this band is one of if not the best metal band to ever come out of massechussetts i highly recomend this CD to any rock or metal fans.
Godsmack is from Boston - but anyway ------
Not seattle. Just to correct Jacob Westrum's review of Godsmack - they are a New-England based band, from Boston.
The debut album from GS is amazing. It is the most powerful sound I have ever heard, but it's perfected, not dark and distorted like Korn or Slipknot or something. It just has a special quality you have to hear before you can understand how amazing it is.
I turned into such a Godsmack freak over one summer last year - they replaced my beloved Metallica to be honest with you. And that takes muscles. Just get it, you'll know what I'm talking about. See Sully, Tommy, Tony and Robbie jam live once - wow. I've seen them more than once. In fact in Des Moines Sully took a picture of my Godsmack tat on my arm - look for it in the next album coming out October 31 from Alcatraz Island!!! My nickname is even Sully cuz my friends watch my obsession.
I'm sayin man - they're good.
Peace -.
