Metal vs Punk showdown

So it seems that the bands Godsmack and Story of the Year got into a bit of a fight the other day. Well, Godsmacks crew, supposedly. A couple of SOTY crew guys were smacked around. They claimed they were attacked by Godsmack crew and some security. Seems that SOTY invited people to come down from the lawn into a reserved seating area during there set. According to a statement that WAS on their site. Godsmack was upset with this act.

This may be true but I would bet there were other things that led up to it.

Last year I was the LD for the band Cold and we did a bunch of dates with Godsmack. We never had any real problems with them. Like I said my guess is someone from SOTY was probably shooting off their mouth. These corporate "punk" bands have one hit and think they are rockstars. Pay your dues fellas and keep your mouths shut.

I know for a fact they are still pissing and winning about it.

If you really were not at fault, file a police report.
