Sam Koltun of Godsmack | Vulgar Display of Podcast
Description
Godsmack guitarist Sam Koltun joins the Vulgar Display of Podcast for a conversation ahead of one of the biggest shows of his career, playing his hometown of St. Louis with Godsmack, Stone Temple Pilots, and Dorothy at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater.
Sam discusses joining Godsmack in 2025 following their European tour, earning a permanent spot in one of hard rock's most iconic bands, and what it means to return home for his first U.S. tour with the group. He reflects on growing up in St. Louis, cutting his teeth at legendary local venues, and the journey that took him from Midwest clubs to stages around the world.
We also dive into Sam's straightforward, old-school guitar setup featuring Gibson Les Pauls and Diamond Amps, why Godsmack remains an unapologetically analog rock band, and what it's like sharing the stage with Sully Erna and the rest of the Godsmack family.
Plus, we talk St. Louis music history, hometown show pressure, life in Los Angeles, toasted ravioli, and why Imo's Pizza didn't make the cut.
For metalheads and by metalheads, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
