Tickets are sold out apparently for the Bruins tonight Thanks to my pal Sully and the rest of GODSMACK. Aww yeahhh what a Rocking night this should be especially since this is going to be a new taste of Godsmack for all present. I am not sure how familiar all of you are with My Favorite Band of all time GODSMACK. ::GODSMACK:: is one of the most energy driven, talented and diverse band I have ever had the pleasure of being somewhat a part of. I am pleased to say that Godsmack takes Listeners To the Other Side on their upcoming album.
Republic/Universal Records has announced a March 16 release for THE OTHER SIDE, the highly anticipated first-ever acoustic CD from my man Sully & the crew. Produced by vocalist Sully Erna and mixed by David Bottrill (who produced the band's 2003 chart-topping, platinum-selling album FACELESS by the way), the record features acoustic renditions of Godsmack hits and three brand-new tracks.
Ethereal and soaked in beautiful bittersweet melodies, THE OTHER SIDE reveals that Godsmack's intensity has little to do with amp settings. Unplugged, the quartet (rounded out by guitarist Tony Rombola, bassist Robbie Merrill and drummer Shannon Larkin) showcase a melodic range and depth that broadens with each listen, as evidenced by the stunning stripped-down versions of my #1's such as "Serenity" and "Voodoo." "We've always wanted to make a record like this," says Erna. "It gives us a chance to spread our wings a little bit and offer the fans something different. I think they'll be pleasantly surprised by it."
Among the album's new tracks is "Touch? co-written by Erna and Dropbox vocalist John Kosco and guitarist Lee Richards. (Godsmack fans will recognize Richards as the band's original guitarist. Dropbox is Erna's first signing to his new imprint Realign Records and their debut album is due in April).
As an added bonus, one copy of THE OTHER SIDE will contain a golden ticket granting some lucky fan the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to host an acoustic Godsmack performance in his or her living room. "In other words," laughs Erna, "there goes the neighborhood." Godsmack, who just wrapped up a barnstorming tour of Europe with Metallica and are currently gearing up for the U.S. leg, recently received a Grammy nod in the Best Hard Rock Performance category for their first FACELESS single, "Straight Out Of Line." The nomination is Godsmack's fourth since the release of their quadruple-platinum-selling debut in 1998.
Sully said I had to give up the ticket if I found it. WTF??? How is that fair.
See all you fans tonight I am sure.
Have a lovely day!!!
