September 25, 2012 Godsmack have always been vocal about how much of an influence Pantera had on their career and so it seemed only fitting that when the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival rolled into Pantera’s home state of Texas that the band would pay homage to them at some point during the night.

August 14, 2012 Today is the day Staind fans everywhere have waited for, the release of their new concert DVD and Blu-ray, titled Live From Mohegan Sun. This DVD/Blu-ray accompanies a CD version of this package which was released last month
June 28, 2012 It's hard to believe that in the past 17 years of making music Staind has not released a live album. Either way they will release their first one on July 10th titled 'Live From Mohegan Sun. The CD version comes out in July while the while the DVD/Blu-ray will be release on August 14th
