Are you ready to rock? Are you ready to kick some ASS? Are you ready to party? Then check out Godsmack live at a venue near you. These guys know how to rock the house down. They start out with their hit single "Awake", and play almost every single song off their three albums. Godsmack performs one song after another. Songs (not in this order) such as Voodoo, Whatever, Situation, Keep Away, Faceless, Changes, Serenity, Bad Religion, Bad Magic, Greed, I F*&kin Hate You, my personal favorite I Stand Alone, and many many more. Sully's growling vocals soar through out the venue as if the record was playing. Shanon, Robbie, and Tony rock it out on stage and give it there all while having a great time doing it. They get the crowd moving and jumping on their feet the whole 2 hours they perform. This show particularly was different then what I have seen in the past. Instead of using pryro and huge fire, they decided to loose it and just rock it as if they were on the stereo. In addition, there were green laser lights moving to the music making it seem as if you were in another world. I must say, I have seen Godsmack a few times this year, and this has to be the best performance that I have seen as well as the best band to perform live ever!!
