They were originally a Alice in Chains cover band, and them naming their band after a song of them, from their point of view, is obviously supposed to be honoring the band that inspired them. Do you honestly think they didn't realize that people would accuse them of this?

 Sorry for the rant. = )
 

My thoughts exactly...I just saw AIC last night and saw Godsmack (with Rob Zombie) last month...NO comparison. AIC will always be the original and can not be duplicated...and Godsmack, indeed 'stands alone' and only hopes to honor a GREAT band by naming their band after an AIC song...I mean how could your music NOT be influenced by another band you admire?
