Godsmack - Unforgettable

This made me cry. Think of all of those kids that might have been bullied, thinking about suicide, had a lie self-esteem, didn't believe in themselves, were shy, didn't think they belonged, was always left out of things and the list goes on. For a band to take the time to do this is so selfless and giving of themselves with nothing in return. All I can say is WOW

As a grown man former soldier and former Police officer/Corrections officer but also music nerd and musician myself, im not ashamed to say watching this video from the first to the ten thousandth time now it truly honest to god brings tears to my eyes watching such a diverse group.come together with the same passion and make music and love they journey and the art that it brings!!Godsmack has always been always will be the band i hold closest to my heart through every trying time i ever had.. Overseas all through that being away from family and friends and the freedoms of home, i always kept this band in my headphones as they always to me represented best what we stand for and fought or fight for from this great country.... Honest to God being the caring such awesome people all those guys seem to be it truly didnt surprise me that they were the Band that could put something like that together and touch so many young people with an experience they will likely carry dear with them for the rest of their lives! My 3 year old son has been raised and can sing every word to every Godsmack song ever made. That is what this Band means to me and my household! This video genuinely moved me the first time i watched and every time since... Watching music bring people so diverse together is truly a beautiful thing and no surprise this band is one that did it.. God bless you guys and thank you for always caring more about the fans you touch than the industry and what it brings with it as you all have always stayed true to your kind souls! God bless and thank you!!!

[@Curious-Irish-Angel]

Sully doesn't believe in God he is Wiccan That actually surprised me 🤔 I've been a fan from get.. I also relate to all of their songs in one way or another. This is the ONLY band that I really like AlLL of their music and words ..❤ I recently found out that his religion is Wiccan because he did an interview a couple year's ago about metal music and the devil, he said in his Wiccan beliefs there is no devil because then there would HAVE to be a God..So he doesn't believe in either. It's more like this, the "good" hearted person puts out Love, understanding and kindness and therefore receives it back 3x (vise versa for bad) respect our planet ect.(some have different versions) I'm Irish and my ancestors believed in that as well (and the rest of them were Catholics) I still love the music and will always be a fan..I didn't get to see them live last year. I'm disabled, the venue was 4 hours away and the tickets were expensive (that's something that truly sucked for me)..I'm the 80's Rocker Chick..😎🤘🤎 I DID however get to see Disturbed , Bad Wolves, and FFDP (the lead singer of Bad Wolves his back story has an incredible truth about his brother) He even has written a song about it, which must have been hard.💔 Last, but definitely not least is 3DG and WOW. Matt does a great job with the Original Adam songs. I was extremely impressed and pleasantly surprised 👍❤ *I also have an amazing support system who helped me with $$$ to be able to go* Each venue whom ALL allowed me to be in the PIT with my son and sister (I would have had to sit alone) let me into the PIT area with my weelchair, my 13 yr old son & my awesome sister 👍❤ I had a handicap area seat and they had PIT because I would have NEVER thought they'd allow me in the pit because of my wheelchair. It definitely was extremely super cool of them 3DG actually were very helpful and also helped to make that happen 😎 When Godsmack came to IL they didn't come anywhere near me. They played in Moline IL ( I would have had to get a hotel and the tickets were super expensive..😒💔) hopefully they will come back to IL and play at Tinley Park, Allstate arena or Peoria Civic Center.. It's still far. I'd have to leave 1 day before and stay with my sister ( Which I did for the othert concerts but the tickets were reasonably priced and my sister lives near the venue) If it's Peoria it's only 2 hours away (hint, hint 😉) To ALL of my fellow brothers and sisters out there be safe, stay healthy. God bless ❤ HELP each other out during this pandemic and trying times..****.especially our elderly, disabled, and youngsters in our neighborhoods and you can do that safely. 🤘💚🤍🧡

And the music is so good! In every way. Musically, lyrically and in character. It’s heavy but not slipknot or metalcore heavy that it’s overbearing to some people. But it’s not your dads buttrock or wanna be tough guy rock either. It’s a good balance.

I have watched this video over and over. The memories these students have will be carried with them the rest of their life. While I have respected Godsmack over the years this video takes my level of interest and respect to a completely different level. We need more bands to have this level of involvement in our youth.

[@michellelambert6703]

Thank you, as the lyrical writer for Godsmack, this was an idea I came up with on my own to attempt to solve the problem that British royalty had successfully sabotaged American musical culture in the 1950s and to try to bring people and families publicly together into the heart of enjoying thought provoking hour long symphonies once again.

​​@@michellelambert6703that's so awesome!!! Music has been a huge part of my own life, ( I was lead guitarist of a band called immortal malice for 13 years,) and I did my best to pass that on to my children. My oldest especially took that ball and ran with it, playing multiple instruments, being in multiple school honors bands, and rising to drum major of her high school marching band. Next fall she'll join the marching band and the music program at the University of Nebraska. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes. Having met Sully way back in 2001, at Rockfest in Council Bluffs, Iowa, I know what a great guy he is. He stood there and talked to me for a good half hour like we were old friends, and became a huge inspiration for my own musical career, such that it was. I can only imagine what an experience this was for these kids. Something they'll remember for the rest of their lives. There needs to be so much more of this in the world. Thank you.

[@austinfrengtravel]

I still watch the video and cry every time seeing these kids have the time of their lives. No matter what language you speak music is one language we all can understand. When the kid says music is the reason I am not lonely most days I can hear it in his voice. Still great full to SNHU for allowing them to film this video on their facility.

[@danfinkelstein7037]

Proof that music and the arts are still needed in schools.

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

I love this song. 1st time I watched the video, it literally brought tears to my eyes. The way they brought so many kids from all over, and unified them all for this one song/project. This is how you use star power in positive ways. To Sully, the band and crew, I say a deeply heartfelt tyvm. This truly is unforgettable.

Thank You.

As a high school teacher and a person who appreciates Godsmack Art, I couldn't be anymore over the moon to see the artists giving back. Those kids will always remember the day Godsmack taught their class.

[@michaelmerrill7628]

I only saw this for the first time yesterday, and I cannot stop watching it! In an era where rock music seems to have taken a back seat to all other genres, Godsmack does the greatest thing imaginable in making these kids a part of this incredible song. The expressions on their faces (band & kids) are infectious and the memories will last a lifetime. Take a bow Godsmack!

[@brittanyrust3538]

Yesss!!!

[@TheMadTube]

Some have called it “pop rock” or “cheesy”. It is certainly more hard rock than heavy metal of the early times. But we all change and mature as we age. Every one does it differently. What I will say is that Sully and the boys got hundreds of middle schoolers to take a focused interest in this material. They all practiced hard, and it looks like they did a spectacular job. A few hundred middle school kids doing a mass jam session and coordinated performance of a hard rock song in 2020. No synth, EDM, hip hop, predictive text pop, but hard rock written by the guys who perform it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
