My guess would be that half the band names are either stolen from or inspired by an existing name, acronym, slogan or design.
Whether that's a problem to either party, that's another thing.
The examples are countless:
Canned Heat
D.A.D
KISS (what ever You may think the acronym is  )
Any band name with food in it, etc.
Regards

(Also, the chorus seems to have a resemblance to a certain King Crimson song....)
NOTE: I don't really mean to bash Godsmack, so no flaming please. Also, if you're wondering why I was listening to them, radio>silence, but radio still sucks

He saw it in a burning bush or some BS... this would be a much more likely explanation as to their inspiration.

And they broke up shortly thereafter when Snakefinger moved to the US and started collaborating with The Residents. RHCP's first gig was in 1983. No case.
