This controversial interview with Godsmack from Arthur Mag has been the talk of the music message board for the past couple of weeks, so I thought I'd post it here for futher discussion. Basically, the writer sets up Sully Erna of Godsmack into thinking he was about to be interviewed about their recent album, then uses the opportunity to attack him and the band based on the fact that their music is being used in military recruitment commercials. The concept is an interesting one, taking a popular band to task for their decisions and whether or not they are capable of backing up those decisions, but I'm not sure if it was executed very well- sometimes the author just seems to be needlessly ambushing the guy for his own political and journalistic agenda, and his arrogance really comes out in his questions. What's the point?

Right. There probably is something interesting to be said about the uses & misuses of testosterone-rock, but this writer is a dick. He doesn't listen!
