In February 1995 Sully Erna Decided To Start A New Band As The Lead Singer After Playing The Drums For More Than 23 Years Including Over Two Years In The Now-Defunct Band Strip Mind. His New Band The Scam Formed With Erna On Vocals Robbie Merrill On Bass Local Guitarist And Friend Lee Richards On Guitar And Tommy Stewart On Drums. The Scam Quickly Changed Its Name To Godsmack After Recording One Demo. The Newly Formed Band Started Playing Small Bars In Their Hometown Of Boston Mass.. Locally Popular Songs Such As "Keep Away" And "Whatever" Soon Brought Them To The Top Of The Hit Charts In The Boston/New England Area. The Band's Name According To Merrill In The Smack This! DVD Was Taken From The Alice In Chains' Song "God Smack". However Erna Stated In A 1999 Interview That "I Was Making Fun Of Somebody Who Had A Cold Sore On His Lip And The Next Day I Had One Myself And Somebody Said 'It's A Godsmack.' The Name Stuck. We Were Aware Of The Alice In Chains Song But Didn't Really Think Much About It. It's A Cool Song And The Name Had Meaning For Us". In 1996 Tony Rombola And Joe D'Arco Joined Godsmack As The Guitarist And Drummer After Richards Left After Finding Out He Had A Six-Year-Old Child And Stewart Left Due To Personal Differences. In The Same Year The Band Entered The Studio For The First Time Recording Its First CD Titled "All Wound Up". The CD Was Recorded In Just Three Days For $2 600. For The Next Two Years The Band Played Throughout The Boston Area. Eventually Godsmack's CD Landed In The Hands Of Rocko The Night-Time DJ For Boston Radio Station WAAF FM . The Radio Station Put "Keep Away" Into Heavy Rotation And The Song Rose To The Number One Spot At The Station Very Quickly. Newbury Comics A New England Record Store Chain Agreed To Sell The CD On Consignment. Shortly After The Success Of "Keep Away" Godsmack Went Back Into The Studio And Recorded A Single Titled "Whatever" Which Became The New Local Favorite On WAAF FM . In An Interview Sully Erna Stated "we Had Been Selling Maybe 50 Copies A Month At The Time WAAF Picked Up The Album. All Of A Sudden We Started Moving Over Records A Week. It Was Insane. Even Crazier I Was Doing All This From My Bedroom. After Years Of Grinding Away Things Finally Started Taking Off." Alice In Chains Is Believed To Be The Primary Influence To Godsmack. Many Believe Godsmack Obtained Their Name From The Alice In Chains Song "God Smack" Off The Album Dirt. In An Interview With MTV Upon The Death Of Alice In Chains Lead Singer Layne Staley Godsmack Frontman Sully Erna Stated That Staley "was Single-Handedly The Guy That Got Me To Start Singing." Erna Went On To Later Confirm That Indeed "God Smack" Is The Inspiration For The Bands Name And The Reason Their Sound Sounds Similar To That Of Alice In Chains Other Bands Cited By Godsmack Members As Their Primary Influences Typically Include Aerosmith Led Zeppelin Rush Black Sabbath ² And White Zombie. More Recently Godsmack Have Attempted To Distance Themselves From The Alice In Chains Comparison With Erna Stating In An Interview With Matt Ashare "I've Just Never Really Heard That In Our Music." In That Same Interview Erna Offers An Alternative Explanation To The Origin Of Their Band Name By Stating "It Happened At Rehearsal When Our Drummer Came In With A Big Cold Sore On His Lip. I Was Making Fun Of Him All Day Because We Had A Photo Shoot Coming Up. And Then The Next Day When I Came In I Had A Big Cold Sore On My Lip. So My Guitar Player Said See God Just Smacked You For Making Fun Of Him." Nevertheless The Comparison To Alice In Chains Is Well Documented. Sully Erna's Style Of Singing Mirrors That Of Layne Staley's While The Overall Sound Of The Band's First Two Albums Sound Incredibly Similar To The Sound Of Dirt. The Logo Of Godsmack Is Similar To The Sun Logo Of Alice In Chains. Godsmack Also Released An Album Titled "Faceless" Which Is Similar In Name To Alice In Chain's First Album Facelift. The Band Even Transcended From Their Heavy Sound To A More Mellow Acoustic Sound On Their Album "The Other Side" In The Same Manner Alice In Chains Did In "Jar Of Flies". In 2002 Godsmack Received A Grammy Nomination In "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" For The Song "Vampires" From The Album Awake. In 2004 They Opened For Metallica While Headlining With Dropbox In The Summer.

"Whiskey Hangover" Is A Song By American Heavy Metal Band Godsmack. Released As A Promotional Single In 2009 It Marked The Band's First In The Almost Two Years Since The Release Of "Good Times Bad Times." The Song Became A Live Staple In Godsmack's Shows During Crüe Fest 2 And Was Released In Promotion Of Their Appearance On The Tour. "Whiskey Hangover" Reached #1 On The Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. The Writing Process According To Shannon Larkin Was Collaborative Stating That All Four Members Of The Band Wrote The Song And Sully Came Up With The Lyrics "All Four Of Us Were In The Room And We Wrote That Song In Like 3 Hours. But It Took Sully Weeks To Come Up With The Lyrics And He Wasn’t Even Happy With It ‘cause We Had To Rush It ‘cause We Needed Something For This Mötley Crüe Tour. The 3 Of Us Loved It But Sully Was Kind Of Irritated With It ‘cause He Knows It Could Have Been Better". Shannon Larkin Described The Single As A Prime Example Of Godsmack Original Sound Stating That "Whiskey Hangover Is Good Clue Of What The Band Is Going For It's More Simplistic Than The Last Record - Less Bluesy More Heavy" And A "return To The Original Sound Of The Godsmack And What Made The Band Happen In The First Place". 411Mania.Com Reviewer Mark Ingoldsby Gave The Song Three Stars Out Of Five Stating That The Single "is A Return To The Band's Well-Established Sound This Time Not Veering Far From Their Proven Hard Rock Hit-Making Formula That Was Somewhat Missing From Their Last And Least-Successful Album. Powerful Driving Guitars Rock Full Blast During The Track's Intro And Chorus And Then Take The Usual Back Seat As Singer Sully Erna Invokes His Trademark Vedder-Meets-Staley Vocal Stylings In The Verses".
