Godsmack Beats Up Story of the Year
Published June 02, 2004
Godsmack, the most unoriginal and shitty band on the face of the earth, was playing a radio festival with a bunch of bands when their representatives and security staff had a run-in with Story of the Year, a pop-punk band also on the bill. I don't necessarily like Story of the Year, but my hatred for Boston's own Godsmack is unprecedented. Is it the pilfering of their name directly from the Alice in Chains album Dirt while also trying to sound like AIC sometimes? Yes, I hate that. Is it their cro-magnon, knuckles scraping-on-the-pavement music that attracts nothing but those without brain cells? Yes, I hate that too. That and a whole lot more. This world would be better off without that band.
Anyway, this is the account of the incident from Story of the Year on the Maverick website. If you go there, you can see some gross pictures of the blood and bruises caused by the representatives of Godsmack. Did I mention that Sully Erna can't sing worth a damn?
(Disclaimer: I know nothing about whether anyone referred to in this piece actually does or does not do drugs. I DO NOT have any problems with police, and I have placed the **'s in the middle of the eff word. These are the words of members of Story of the Year, and not mine. The only opinion I have here is that I don't like Godsmack. Enjoy.)
- Hello everyone. Something pretty amazing happened, and I would like to share it with you...........
- Last night, at a Radio Show in Indiana, my band (except for Josh, he was in the shower) and our tour manager was jumped by godsmack's production manager, crew, and security, along with local security. It was a pretty fair fight. The five of us vs. at least ten 200+ pound football reject, jock - coke head f**king piece of shit f**king losers. Almost a fair fight huh? So what did we do to deserve this you're probably wondering? It had to have been something really bad huh? Did we have sex with one of their wives? No, that's not why. Did we steal some of their drugs? No. Not that either. Did we sell their security some bunk steroids?. No. This is the awful thing that we did to get jumped..

this is a phrase that will stand the test of time: "stupid wanna be gangsta wigger poser queers and their rent-a-cop lap dogs"
I am wiping the contempt off of my keyboard - very nice Ryan!
Oh, and re Godsmack, it's the slavish Metallica vocal imitation that most offends me
aint that a shitter
Godsmack rules!!!! HaHa I couldn't be any happier that they beat the hell outta those lil' whiny pop "rockers"...f**k punk and f**k story of the year...godsmack rules...and got to both beat the s**t outta them and then laugh at those lil pussies in quarantine!!! Awesome!
ok now i'm not a godsmack fan or story of the year fan...i hate them both but i was in the front row of that show and i'm gonna say what i saw. the thing is that there were loads of fights going on that day....the weather was sh*tty the show sucked and everyone was just pissed off. Story of the year came on and was honestly one of the worst shows that day. when they went on and got the crowd goin the singer said "y'all gotta get into this show now...godsmack won't get u guys pumped so come on let's rock the f*ck out right now!" i'll say it kinda worked but no one there really wanted to see them...quite a lot of boos' actually..so could see why godsmack was pissed, but maybe they took it too far. but either way...dont talk sh*t if you can't accept the consequences.
are you kidding me? Story of the year is the best band to ever walk this earth. Godsmack, the band and their crew are all a big giant joke! Their band sux, and their music sux! Its sad that they were so bad and they were so jelous that story of the year acually knows how to put on a good show and acually knows how to play music and rock that they had to get their giant, fat, ugly crew to beat them up. FACE THE FACT THAT GODSMACK SUX BUTT AND STORY OF THE YEAR IS AMAZING!!
Godsmack is a sh*tty band that sucks ass, they are so unoriginal, I just heard a song by them on the radio and shuddered, its trash, they should die, I dont know who the hell story of the year is but they didnt deserve what happened even if they trashed GOdstink.
Story of the Year sucks so much balls that I wish Godsmack's security guards had killed them.
Boy, they sure are stupid.
Story of the Year should have figured that if they kept sucking, eventually someone would beat their ass. But nope, they kept touring. Oh well.
BTW GODSMACK OWNS LOL!!!1
godsmack is worse than story of the year but they are both awful.
anyway that's just funny
ALL FUCKING RIGHT GODSMACK!!! IT's about time someone shut those whiny emo peice of shit punk jokes up! LONG LIVE GODSMACK! Godsmack destroys those 2 pound pussy bags! too bad SOTY couldn't keep a show going, sounds like they suck twice as bad live. SO BAD THEY GOT THEIR ASSES HANDED TO EM! YO STORY OF THE YEAR, FUCK YOU!!! YOU GUYS ARE WHITE TRASH WITH NO MUSICAL TALENT WHATSOEVER!!!
Story of the year kicks ass ! and this shit about... Godsmack!? they fucking suck balls.
You guys are fucking gay, get off the fucking computer and go suck a dick...Godsmack is one of the greatest bands of this time, Sully Erna is a multitalented rock fucking GOD, if you disagree with that you're a fucking faggot and you deserve to die and rot in hell for eternity you cum licking, scrotum gargling, dipshits...I hope you all die a very painful death involving your kinky fucking gay sex orgies and 29 inch dildos...
Godsmack is just a bunch of nu-metal pussies. Same goes for gay ass bands like Disturbed, Linkin Park, and all that wannabe metal shit. All Nu-metal is down-tuned guitars, raspy vocals, and vocals about how they had bad childhoods and their mommies didn't hold them enough when hey were younger. Nu-metal fucking blows ass and anyone who supports nu-metal should be shot in the face. If you want METAL--check out Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Motley Crue, and bands of that sort. That is pure METAL. These guys are just shitty wannabe metal heads who could never get good enough to rip a solid metal riff or a soild metal solo. Nu-metal is shit. As for Story of the Year, they aren't the greatest band ever, but they sure as hell kick the shit out of nu-metal pussies. That's what nu-metal is for, pussies.
Godsmack is awesome GODSMACK WILL KICK ANYBODY ASS
let me rephrase myself GODSMACK is awesome they will kick anybody's ass without their security.Real bands have security.
Man I'm so fucking glad someone finally shut those fuckin pussy ass Story of the Year emo bitches up. It would have been awesome if Sully Erna and Tony Rambola would have gotten into it personally, but SOTY needs to stop talking shit if they don't want to accept what they did
Most of the comments here are nothing but uneducated fervor. I would have a better conversation with a crackhead. Godsmack is a hard working band that deserves respect.
I agree with the poster who referred to most of the comments here as "nothing but uneducated fervor". That said, it sounds like Godsmack's roadies went way over the line. I'd have backed up SOTY in a second if I had witnessed this going down.
I love both bands. So, I'm not going to talk shit about either one, but let me say I have met Story of the Year and they are some of the greatest guys I've ever met and any one who really knows about Godsmack should know that they did have gang relations when they were younger so I do believe they could've had people jump SOTY. I don't know if Soty said that Godsmack sux or w/e during the show if they did they deserved to pay for their mistakes but that is still no reason to jump someone. Godsmack and Soty both rule
