Sully Erna (Godsmack) interview

[@JohnBoucher-x7q]

I saw Godsmack in NH last year. An amazing show and i lovehow down to earth Sully is. God bless him!

[@bornestellar6334]

Sully is an absolute god. His music has gotten me through some rough times. Incredible voice and passion in each song.

[@chrisrush2627]

Sully did well with this guy. He knew he needed some help during this interview. Godsmack will always be my favorite band man. I'm proud to be one of the first DJ's on a New England radio station that played them in 1998.

[@Lifelong_Lesson]

Much respect to Sully. He seems like a very intelligent and a very nice person. Very down to Earth. Good shit, Sully. Thank you for existing.

[@MakeDuunaaThaimaassa]

He is down to earth, especially he love to interact with fans and other people, you probably know the song Unforgettable, he is deep thinker

[@deedrathelibra]

I love his confidence. And it’s pretty remarkable that they’re still together after all these years comparatively speaking.

[@courtbeall7768]

I love how REAL and honest Sully seems.It's hard to find that kind of honesty these days.

[@neilwright2192]

I'm glad I watched this: I was never a huge fan, but he's so wise and so thoughtful, I'm blown away by his perspective and his humanity. This guy is so genuine, I would love to meet him...he's almost 50 in this interview and he has a wonderful blend of enthusiasm and knowledge, I just love this interview

[@summertime3160]

I like the depth of his answers.

[@denisecurry7472]

I so wish to meet him His voice is so electrifying and so are his words. I actually love his slower music the most I can feel his emotions more.

[@DiaAkin]

Sully is such a BEAST!!! My troops put me on to Godsmack back in the day when I was still active duty Marine. Been a fan ever since!

[@amandastanger963]

He has a truly amazing voice.

Met him at one of this Avalon concerts years ago. Nice guy so easy to talk to

[@truefeelings3174]

He knows music and humanity 👌🔥

[@lisajohnson4807]

Sully is a amazing singer and song writer,he has worked very hard and deserves it, good luck with the new album

[@johnnyeayre110]

Interviewer asked that question about what makes a good song. Sully answers right away. Lol hard question. Lol

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

I really liked the the answer he gave to the question at 9:15 I didn't know that Sully was such a wise man!

[@KarlSchoenefeld4]

Youreallygotmenow ! He is and he isn't. He is great at interviews, and brilliant as a musician, but lyrically he struggles to identify the intelligence of his listeners. I also think his decision making, as it relates to the direction of the band, has been poor. And again I think that comes down to underestimating the intelligence of his potential fan base.

[@MaxIsFuckingTrash]

Minacious I kind of feel you on this , I love the new album just not as much as their older stuff . I think he struggles so much with song writing is because all he really knows or feels is aggression & aggression leads to yelling or playing whatever instrument loud as possible to get the anger or whatever negative emotion you are feeling , out . So when I think they did When Legends Rise he really had to be more melodic & open & calm/focused to get the sound on their album , I feel as if he didn't know how to do that so he struggled quite a bit. He's even said he was nervous & reluctant to come out of his comfort zone a lot of the time & has said he's not sure if the songs would sound right live because he really did take a toll on his voice for this album . I love this band but sometimes it's better to take a break from Godsmack .

[@thedarkside0fmars]

14:13 "they're more commercial" that is the most honest statement I've ever heard from a legacy artist 😂😂😂😂😂 then when he goes on to say "might lose a fan but it we gain 20 more $$$$$$$$$ wasn't he just saying in the earlier part of the interview how artists need to acknowledge that not everyone else's fans will be their fans and artists need to appreciate the fans they have and be honest about the music they create? Amazing

[@amandamcbride256]

[@amandastanger963]

Thank you for helping me find an energy to my soul in the past I struggled very hard to find. Now it's about waking dormant memories and healing. Its not what I normally like but I think I was led to you and or that the radio put you first in my head and soul.

[@NathanDuffy725]

Every Godsmack should hear this interview from Sully so they get a clear understanding about the new record. I honestly love the new song. I like all Godsmack music. I'm more of a fan of melody as well in music but i also like other types of music including harder or heavier rock. I like Blues, Piano music. So I'm open to different kinds of music. If i don't like something i simply don't listen to it and not ruin it for other fans. I like people who can enjoy music and not react all the time and criticize everything you hear or see. The new song is great and Sully and the guys should be proud of their new song. You can't just like heavier music, you gotta be more open to different kinds of music. Sully is a real musician and artist he's gonna be open to new music and he should be.

[@M123-w1s]

This was refreshing to read ;)

[@stephanierizzo8108]

I luv all of Sully's music. The universal language of music. Personally I like all different kinds of music. Depends on my mood I guess.

[@TammyM36]

Wow his speaking voice is quite awesome too.

[@bongtuazon1347]

Sully is one the best frontman ive ever seen in terms of stage presence and an instrument expertise as well..im not a metal fan though , but when saw their video i stand alone i was amazed especially to his voice..he made it so well , high notes and its echoing sustained melody , and he can also play a different instruments esp.drums when he and shannon goes head to head on drums and that is one of my favorite showdown on drums between the drummer and their frontman ..

I h8 it when your watching a scary movie and you start feeling a little anxious about some suspenseful part. Then its something like that little part in the movie where a rat dropped on that persons head. Or some sh like that. Then the rest of the movie is gruesome af tho. All due to the noise in the background too. He has pretty eyes tho

Wow

[@T.Maximus]

My man Salvatore

[@leviathandiabolo6296]

Is he a high baritone?

[@KarlSchoenefeld4]

See, I think this is the problem right here. Godsmack has sounded the same for a long time because he has taken songs that "don't sound right for Godsmack," and separated them into solo projects. There were a lot of songs in the first album that I thought would have been amazing if they incorporated the whole band.

[@mistymichele3771]

When Legends Rise is pretty different from the usual Godsmack album, and I actually really love it.

I don´t understand why need to hate bands, that´s just stupid. If someone don´t like some band why to hate it, just don´t follow nor listen bands you don´t like. I don´t hate any band because that´s as I said stupid but also use your energy for nothing and give you only negativity in your life....

[@adamholste791]

"We may lose some (core fans) along the way, but hopefully we lose one (core fan) and gain 20 (new fans)...and you can do the math at the end." -Sully Erna Spoken like a true sellout, that doesn't give a fuck about the people that supported him from the start.
