“Touche” by Godsmack featuring Dropbox

"Touché" is Godsmack with the amps unplugged: it comes from The Other Side, the band's 2004 acoustic EP on Republic Records, and it followed "Running Blind" as the second and final single pulled from that record. Sully Erna wrote it with John Kosco and Lee Richards, and both of them are on the track, Kosco singing and Richards on guitar, on loan from their band Dropbox. For Richards it was a kind of homecoming, since he had been Godsmack's original lead guitarist.

It's a mellow, hushed piece, ringing with harmonics instead of crunch. It still found its way into the wrestling ring when World Wrestling Entertainment tapped it as a second theme for WrestleMania XX.
