The crowd has such excitement and enjoys the bands so much. Some of the highlights of the show were “1000 hp”, “Cryin’ Like A Bitch”, “I Stand Alone” and The Beatles cover “Come Together”. They worked their way through songs off of their new record all the way back to their first release. They are an incredible band live and the crowd went crazy. Just like the headliners, this is a band that you need to see. They played a lot of their well-known songs including “Seal The Deal’, “Let It Burn”, “The Devils Bleeding Tongue” and the cover of Dusty Springfield’s “ I Only Want To Be With You”. I’ve always like this band because they have such an incredible melody in their songs. Volbeat was next up and really made themselves a hard act to follow. “Catch Me When I Fall” was one of the highlights for me in their set. They had some catchy songs and I think that they will do very well in the future. They were a lot of fun to watch and really knew how to entertain the crowd.

I was pleasantly surprised with their showmanship. I knew there was some buzz around this band so I really wanted to get there early enough to take in their set. Newcomers, Stitched Up Heart opened the show. This time joining them are Danish rockers Volbeat and rising stars Stitched Up Heart. It’s definitely not a concept album.Riding high on the success of their latest album “When Legends Rise”, Godsmack have been hitting the road hard this past year or so with the now veteran act hitting NOrth America for yet another run of shows. We’re a band with lots of different styles and stories. The album isn’t a concept album however, because there’s still 7 other songs on the album. That’s the story going on on that album.ħ of the songs on the album tell the story of this ‘guitar gangster’, whom the band would often continue to write songs about. He performs as a musician and every night he stands on stage, he’s looking at the people in the bar trying to figure out who’s the killer. The whole idea for this guy, Cadillac Blood, is he believes he can find his killer in that city. He’s going to this city that you can’t find on any map or anything. When the law enforcement comes, the car and the guy are gone. It’s a small story about a guy who wakes up in the desert with shooting holes in his body. I thought about the words ‘guitar gangster’, and suddenly I had these pictures and ideas running in my head, and I came up with the album title Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood.

Well, all started when I needed a good album title for the third album and then I heard Mike Ness singing I’m A Guitar Gangster Without A Tune, or something like that.
