“Sully Erna from GODSMACK went to bat for fans against his record label to keep the price down on the band's upcoming CD, FACELESS. Sully, who said he wants to entertain - not bankrupt- rock fans, fought for special low pricing on the record - a fight he won for at least the first week of the record's release, which starts on 4/8.”
