Last Tuesday I checked out the Godsmack show at Shoreline Amptheater. Despite the fact that one of the Deftones members was sick and they didn’t play, the show was sick. Puddle of Mudd started and I think CYK played too but I think I’d rather pay 8 bucks for a Pyramid and chill at the bar. I think the majority of the crowd was there to see Deftones but it didn’t matter and the pit showed. Some classic metal concert antics, pyrotechnics, fire balls, and a crazy medieval stone stage definitely elevated the anguish and energy in the crowd. They played most of the popular stuff of their first album and some new angrier tracks from AWAKE. This was virgin Godsmack show, as it was for most people, but I’m sure if they come around again I’ll check them again. You should too damn it!!!
