Whatever
The down-tuned alt-metal grind that broke Godsmack's debut. Tony Rombola tracked the self-titled album with a borrowed Gibson Les Paul Studio — 'the one that worked best with my Mesas,' in his words — through his Mesa/Boogie rig at New Alliance Studios in Boston, produced by Sully Erna and Mudrock. Played in drop C (a drop-D shape tuned a whole step down), it's a thick, mid-forward rhythm with bluesy wah inflections over the chug.
