Godsmack is a Boston-based band who were simply too
undeniable to be ignored. Their self-titled major label
debut isn't a calculated, big-budget offering. In fact, it
started out as a self-released CD the band recorded in 1996
for about $2,500 with money they borrowed from a friend.
Expecting maybe to make back the costs of recording, they
peddled the disc to a local radio station WAAF embraced the
song "Keep Away" and began playing the song on hi weekly
evening program. Meanwhile, the band was performing
regularly on the Boston club scene and soon drew the
attention of Paul Geary, a long-time friend of Sully's and
former drummer and manager of the group Extreme, who
inevitably signed the band to his management company PGE.
Before long, airplay increased dramatic More...

------ About the song Voodoo performed by Godsmack
If you guys think this song is about Heroin addiction then you're fucking stupid.
Yes, I aqree, it's about addiction, but not to Heroin.
It's an addiction to Methamphetamines.
And if you've ever done it, then you'd know where I'm coming from.
The snake bite is the needle piercing flesh, and when you feel it you become focused and exhilarated when the Meth gets into your bloodstream, so you're no longer attentionless, you're completely focused. So you're not so far away.
When you get on Meth you no longer care about anything, and I'm serious, your personality completely changes and there's no reason for you to live but to shoot up some more Meth.
The freezing is the chill you feel through your veins when you first shoot it, then the breath in, breath in is where it hits your heart and your blood pressure increases and your breathing gets heavy.
"Hazing clouds rain on my head,
Empty thoughts fill my ears.
Find my shape by the moonlight,
Why my thoughts aren't so clear."
Is obviously explaining the coming off the high, so he needs more Meth to get the high back. That's the hazing clouds and empty thoughts telling him to shoot more Meth, and his thoughts are no longer clear because the high is going away.
And the Demons dreaming, this is a truly amazing song, because when trying to break the habit of Meth you have dreams where they tell you to shoot more Meth, where you're persuaded by the Devil, and you wake up completely terrified.
Meth is sorcery, sorcery is witchcraft, witchcraft is rebellion, rebellion is the number 1 sin.
Voodoo explains exactly what you do when you stay up on Meth for days.
You start trying to control people and you start having satanic thoughts, and you start losing your fucking mind.
Shoot some Meth up and then you'll see what I', talking about, motherfuckers.
The king has spoken, over and out.

Dude you may want to credit Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham for the awesome guitar riff and music and lyrics, Godsmack did a pretty good cover,but the original by Zeppelin is still the best version Ive heard.

------ About the song Voodoo performed by Godsmack
This song was written by singer Sully Erna (a practicing Wiccan) and contrary to most/all of the previous posts, it is a tribute to the 1988 Wes Craven movie "The Serpent and the Rainbow." I find it hard to believe that you are all writing reviews of this song with such stron opinions and not a single one of you has seen Godsmack live. Before Voodoo Sully tells the audience flat out that he was inspired to write this song after seeing The Serpent and the Rainbow. The movie is all about... well..Voodoo!
Now, the lyrics of the song of course are open to any type of interpratation, and if I were to make an opinion about the general meaning, I would have to agree with the heroin addiction angle.

------ About the song Voodoo performed by Godsmack
One time I was listening to this song and an escaped gorilla riding an alligator busted into my home and began to violently assrape me until I bled from my eyes. I was okay afterwards though, and we talked about the incident over some coffee and semencakes. Funny thing was, that poor gorilla got the wrong house! I kindly directed him to my neighbor Lance's house, and a few minutes later I could barely hear my stereo over the crashes, banging, and moaning coming from across the street. He called to invite me over, but I politely declined, as I was all 'assraped' out for the day. But Lance LOVED it, as he told me the next morning over some more heavily frosted semen flavored poppyseedcakes. What a great song, godsmack rox mah soxxxxx

If you moan and bitch about this song then you should never listen too Alice in Chains
Ever hear the song "third eye" by Tool, right at the start they've got Bill Hicks saying "I think drugs have done some good things for us, if you don’t believe drugs have done things for us, do me a favour go home take all you records all your tapes and all your cds and burn them. Because you know what all the musicians who made all the great music that's enhanced your life over the years were real fucking high on drugs" Point being if you don’t like it, don't listen to it and please don’t whine about it. If I like it, and I do, it’s my own problem. I have to decide why I like the song and if it is good or bad for me. Or I can just like it and not think about it at all. It's not going to hypnotize me and send me running towards the first dealer to sell my soul. My friend this my friend that it’s not the songs fault. Really you know, you’re responsible for your life, sure, but to a certain degree also for those around you. If I see my best friend turning into a junky well then I'm going to do something about it. Even if it means locking him up till I can find someone who can help figure out why he's doing the shit. Godsmack rules, all you whining little "oh it's about drugs" bitches can come give me a rim job.

Godsmack is amazing, I heard them live and they sound just perfect, and bring loads of loads of energy to the stage.
There music is deffinately Heavy Metal and they dont scream compared to Children of Bodom, There type of metal is kinda different, its more like a new style, Sully is a god. He sings awesome and also there Accoustic songs kick ass too. Shanon is one crazy drummer :)They have songs for different types of a day. Voodoo helps me wake up :)

godsmack...fenyx **sigh** | Reviewer: auwareagle47
------ About the song Shine Down performed by Godsmack
---fenyx wrote: "i<3 this song cuz its basically a big slap in religions face (like the name of the band suggests),"....ok first off, fenyx, you're wrong on this... The members of Godsmack are Wiccan. The term godsmack is not a 'slap at religion.' It is actually a wiccan term that has to do with the 3-fold rule. Whatever you do good/bad to others will be revisited on you 3-fold. IF you do something bad, then your return of 3-fold bad back on you is often referred to as a 'godsmack.' AGain, nothing to do with mocking religion...especially considering wicca is a religion...SUlly has even said they respect all religions...not mock them...
a quote from SUlly of Godsmack: "Contrary to what most people wish to believe, Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of thinking, an earth religion if you want. I believe it is the oldest religion, definitely pre-Christian, and we don't worship Satan or the devil because we don't believe in it. We believe that the earth is a mother to us all and we should honor and respect her and live a harmonious life. We don't own the earth but we are part of it and to destroy it means to destroy ourselves. We respect life above all. Respect for life and free thought I'd say are the basics for Wicca. We respect every other religion because we think all gods and goddesses are the same. People just worship them in a different way. Wicca is often mistakenly associated with evil, but we believe in Karma and if we do something bad it comes back to haunt us, as a godsmack! That's the basic creed, harm none. We don't sacrifice people and we don't sacrifice animals because we believe in harming no one. We also don't worship Satan; he is a Christian creation and they can keep him. Wicca doesn't work with fear. It's about your own consciousness and doing what's right. We believe in the Law of Three: whatever you do comes back three fold, good or bad."
another quote from SUlly:
"Spells are something like prayers. You wish for something and you try to direct your energy towards achieving it. If you think about it, it's not different from a prayer."
so, when he refers to praying, he is actually being serious about it- just not prayer in the christian sense....
and one last quote from an artical that includes -again- a quote from SUlly ... this time on what 'Shinedown' is about...
"'Shine Down' was another example of the band wrenching light from dark. "That one's not just a song of hope, but of realistic expectations," explains Sully. "It's about being human and having problems. About not being able to lift your head off the pillow, but knowing there's somebody out there that watches over us and a universe that protects us. I knew this new year would be rocking for us. It's not religious, but spiritual."
Unusual sentiments for a professed Wiccan like Erna, who insists he's someone who likes to look into all different types of belief systems. "It's about the power of the universe. It has nothing to do with heaven and hell. It's more about a presence or energy."
next time, research a little more before and find out for certain if there is a story/meaning behind the ideas of other people before calling them 'debatable' and also before insulting other people proclaiming to just automatically know what something is about.
At least Crow seemed to be trying to 'figure it out' before just spewing crap out of his mouth on what he thought it was about and twisting the meaning of this song by saying things like you did
"its basically a big slap in religions face (like the name of the band suggests), and it is saying that if god is all powerful, then why dont he give us a sign that he is actually there?"...but like everyone else, Fenyx, you are entitled to your opinions...it just so happens-this time- yours are wrong

I know I'm a bit late with this reply!! Apparently, all of the previous entries, before this one, are in response to the first "comment" by an ignorant, closeminded and genetically fucked up, "would be" Human. I also would tend to think that this person is also a racist, biggot,Faschist and probably belongs to the KKK or The John Birch Society, and thinks that John Lennon was a Communist! NUFF SAID!!! Great Song...Great Group!!!
