Female vocalist is Lisa Guyer and she is the modern day Stevie Nicks,great vocals,snake like moves onstage.If your a fan of Godsmack you might like this but a fan of music you will.I get the video from time to time on the Palladia channel on my cable network,so check it out if you are fan's and if anybody has seen this show live.

I remember seeing this video a few years ago and was absolutely blown away!
But it does beg the question...who is THE best???
Is it Joey, Travis, Carter...
I know everyone has their favorite; so let's hear it.

Fun drum work. Godsmack was something I was into when they first came out and I still hadn't delved that much into the heavier music scene but they haven't really been my cup of tea in a long while.

Hardrock/Heavy Metal: Mike Portnoy.  Not even a debate.
Rock: Neil Peart still is the mack daddy.

The late drummer for Avenged Sevenfold WAS really good,  I am really getting into them now.
Mike Wengren of Disturbed is real solid too,  not too flashy but provides a solid sound.

I saw that video a while ago! AWESOME VIDEO! Glad you reposted I forgot all about it. I been a big fan of them since for a long time.

Shannon Larkin is the fulltime drummer for Godsmack, great talent too. My favorite drummer is Jordan Mancini of As I Lay Dying, he hits so hard with great precision and incredible sound. Youtube him and enjoy.

That video was awesome.  Anyone that can make the bongos look cool is a winner in my book

I highly rank Carter from DMB, Neal Peart, and Sean Kinney from Alice in Chains.  I think John Bonham is the best ever though.  He did so much on such a simple drum kit.

Godsmack is in the same grouping as Nickelback, Shinedown, Trapt, 3 Days Grace, Puddle of Mudd, and any other craptastic disgrace put forth to the sheep.  But to each his own...

As far as drummers go; Shannon Lucas (ex-The Black Dahlia Murder), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Danny Carey (Tool), Chris Adler (Lamb of God), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), Joey Jordison (Slipknot)... Those would be my current favorites, all monsters on the kit.  

There are many current drummers out there playing for bands that most people will never listen to that are amazing.  I always was a metal head, though.  I'll point you in a good direction if you're curious about the darker side of music.

If you want to throw it back to guys who once had it but have clearly aged and lost it; Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Neil Peart (Rush), Vinnie Paul (Pantera), Bill Ward (Black Sabbath).

I have to disagree with you on the "other craptastic disgrace put forth to the sheep" comment.  I posted a link of some awesome music.  Doesn't have to be defined by a genre.  I am a music fan not just a metal/hard rock fan.  If you are good at your instrument/vocals I can enjoy/respect your talent.  Hell I like to listen to Marc Anthony here and there BUT my iPod is mostly hearing Disturbed/Avenged Sevenfold/Sevendust/Pantera/Shinedown/Godsmack.  I listen for muscianship.

Godsmack formed in my backyard and those guys were rocking hard WAY before they got signed to a label so the "food for the sheep" label with them and the other bands is not a fair assessment.  I have listened to Lamb of God several times and they do nothing for me,  I know lots of people like them but they haven't "grabbed me".
