Although it is the name of a band and Alice In Chains song. The true meaning behind Godsmack is a heroin overdose.
Its scary but to godsmack may well be the best way to get to heaven.

Something that comes back to bite you in the ass. Karma if you will - like God has smacked you in the face with the very thing you fear, condemn, abuse or have been avoiding.
A womanizer has gotten a women pregnant and she's having a daughter. A godsmackthat he will have to forever live with - and keep guys like him away from his daughter.

A racist parent has son or daughter that marries and/or has a child with a person outside of their race. A godsmackthat they will have to accept in order to keep the peace with their child.

A person who is afraid of flying finally decides to go on a plane and dies in a plane crash. Fatal godsmack.

A very successful and underrated heavy metal band from Boston, Massachusetts who sold over 8 million records. With 4 platinum albums, the band also holds the record (17 and counting) for most top 10 singles in active rock history. The band is wrongfully accused by many for ripping off Alice and Chains names, logos, and sound. However, anybody with any musical talent or knowledge can agree that this is not true. Godsmack is arguably the best live band out there today. The band has notably out performed bands such as Metallica and Motley Crue infront of live audiences. Godsmack consists of 4 members. Sully Erna guitar/vocals, Shannon Larkin/drums, Tony Rombola lead guitar/backup vocals, and Robbie Merill/bass.
I went to the Metallica concert last night. Godsmack opened for them completley and stole the show.

I left Cruefest 2 after Godsmack's set. No other band could measure up.

A good band that has come a long way since their first album. They started as a tribute to Alice In Chains, and people bash them for it because of it even though it's actually pretty cool to do a tribute to such a band.

Unlike popular belief, Godsmack have more than one album, and none of their albums since "Godsmack" can be classified as Nu-Metal.
Have you noticed all the wannabe-hardcore posers that talk shit about Godsmack on teh internets without having even listened to their songs just because it makes them sound tough?

A godsmack is a lethal dose of heroin. This is the original meaning. There is also a nu-metal band named Godsmack who started as an AIC tribute band and despite the fact that there is an AIC song called God smack, they claim the name was derived from an incident of karma the lead singer Sully experienced. As an AIC influenced band who were certainly aware of this song title to claim such a thing is most likely just the best reason they could come up with to explain their band’s name in order to avoid accusations of rip-off. This karma story is the origin of the karma definition of godsmack that so many youngsters believe is the true definition. It is not. A godsmack is a lethal dose of heroin. Period. It is a noun, not a verb.

The event of being slapped so hard, that you have a brief hallucination of God himself descending from heaven with a disappointed look on his face, and saying "Boi! You really fucked up this time!" shortly before flying gracefully into the sky like a majestic eagle Sasquatch

A disgusting post grunge band that idolizes and wants to be the band Alice in Chains. Look at the logo, that's not theirs. That's Layne's. He made that, and they ripped him off! Also, look at their album covers and names. Faceless? There's an Alice in Chains album called Facelift. Coincidence? I think not. Look at their All Wound Up cover. It looks alot like Alice in Chains' Dirt album cover. They also made an acoustic EP called "The Other Side" that sounds alot like Alice in Chains' Jar of Flies. Suspicious? Yep. And finally, where did they get the name Godsmack from? That's right, Alice in Chains' song God Smack off the Dirt album. Don't believe me? Look it up. Also the lead vocalist looks and tries to sound like Layne Staley. Hah, he only wishes he was that good.
"It happened at rehearsal when our drummer came in with a big cold sore on his lip. I was making fun of him all day because we had a photo shoot coming up. And then the next day when I came in, I had a big cold sore on my lip. So my guitar player said, "See, God just smacked you for making fun of him." - Godsmack.

You expect us to believe that, Godsmack?...
