Yeah. I just have to keep reminding brilliant people on Youtube where the name originated.

Merrill was being sarcastic in that whole interview... Godsmack doesn't talk about their name anymore... Sully said that once and for all(in his memoir) that the band name didn't come from Alice in Chains, that was a coincidence

"The band's name, according to Merrill in the Smack This! DVD, was taken from the Alice in Chains' song "God Smack". However, Erna stated in a 1999 interview that "I was making fun of somebody who had a cold sore on his lip and the next day I had one myself and somebody said, 'It's a godsmack.' The name stuck. We were aware of the Alice in Chains song but didn't really think much about it. It's a cool song and the name had meaning for us"." (Godsmack article on Wikipedia)

ive never understood the alice in chains comparison at all. yeah they may have supposedly taken their name from the alice in chains song "godsmack" but even if they did, the two bands sound nothing alike what so ever.

I liked them better when they were called Alice In Chains.
