Godsmack Drummer: ‘We Are Metallica Junior!’

Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin recently spoke to ChartAttack.com about the group’s upcoming support slot on Metallica’s Fall 2003 European tour. “If anything, we’re the perfect band [to open for Metallica],” Larkin exclaimed. “We’re Metallica Jr. — we admit it [laughs], you know? And Sully [Erna]’s voice is a lot like James [Hetfield]’s. If there’s one band we’ve always wanted to tour with… I mean, even previous bands, all four of us, it was Metallica, man. Changed our lives. 1983, ‘Kill ‘Em All’ came out, and basically that was the heaviest metal you could get.”
