They're coming to the Waterfront Pavilion along with 5FDP, and I have tickets. Problem is, the friend that's taking me will only go one day, and 5FDP is on that Saturday, Godsmack is on Sunday... I'm so pissed off and conflicted... I love both bands... I wanna SEE both bands... I don't wanna settle for one and not be able to see the other... GAAAAHHHH!!!!! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?
@@theonemodifier it reminds me of a mixture of Metallica for the like lower parts and SOAD for some of the more singy Singy parts if that makes sense Just think about it🤷♂️😂
It's funny my friends and I used to make fun of bands like Godsmack bcuz in their day they were pretty average but looking back we rlly had it good with these bands in a way. Compared to popular music today this shit slaps. And yes his voice is killer. Actually has character to it unlike everything today.
These guys are freaking awesome live. It’s refreshing to hear a modern band that can play and a singer that can actually nail his vocals. 10 out of 10 boys.
This,as your hearing it isn't exactly "live" as it's been/being recorded it would hit WAY different if you were hearing it with your own ears directly THAT IS HEH🙂😂🤣👍👍..!!
Godsmack puts on the best live performance out of everyone I've seen. Especially the vocals; they're almost identical to the album, but theirs more heart in it for the crowd. I'm not sure if any other singer/band could even possibly display such talent
Sully is one of the most amazing vocalist I don’t think people realize how unedited his voice really is in most of their music! His live vocals are actually more entertaining than the recording
I was in a band called Stone. We covered this song. It was our closer. Fucking rocked the place with this one. It's not only a great song to listen to, but an amazing song to play.
This is the most sonically flawless live performance ever done. Sounds exactly like the album track. Godsmack's enthusiasm and talented mastery of the song make it perfect.
This is an insane live performance! I love when the vocalist sounds just like in the studio. Completely in tune, all instruments sound good and the audio guy did a good job. It literally sounded exactly like the studio version but live🔥🔥🔥
Glad to be from the same place as these guys.. Lawtown baby I remember i was so little and my dad (who is also from Lawrence) would be playing Godsmack all the time, he never told me they were from the same place as us but when i got older and found out i was mind blown
Most underrated singer/band in history. Especially the singer. I read somewhere where sully was ranked as the 94th best rock voice, but in my opinion he's easily top ten.
Love too sing with you one of these days.. I Kenny Cantrell grow up with a lot of music people that I watch season over the years, YOU make it look easy,but knowing it's not. U are who you are. The best at what you do.. And I am who I am ,a great listener. Thank You. Kenny Cantrell
Wow, his voice sounds pretty much like the studio version of this song, and he's singing it live. Really dope live vocals, he sounds really good. Great live performance of this song. "I Stand Alone" served as a single from the Scorpion King soundtrack on March 5, 2002, and reappeared on Godsmack's third studio album, Faceless, the following year. It won a 2002 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for "Song of the Year From a Movie Soundtrack." "I Stand Alone" reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart and No. 20 on the Modern Rock chart in the US, and achieved Gold certification for more than half million copies shipped in the United States, spurring sales of over 1.5 million copies for Facelessand propelling Godsmack to worldwide popularity. "I Stand Alone" was written by Sully Erna and produced by Mudrock. Erna elaborated on how the song was created: "I had a little bit of time before we started writing the new album. And it turned out that The Scorpion King director Chuck Russell was a fan of Godsmack and wanted to use our song "Voodoo" in the movie. Because the song was a little dated, he wanted me to redo it, and I wasn't really up for that. Instead I submitted some new music I had written 'I Stand Alone'. Once we were working together, he leaned on me a little bit to help him find some of the best up-and-coming bands." In terms of production, Robbie Merrill stated that Mudrock managed to bring Sully to another level with his vocal range and trying different ideas that the band wouldn't have tried in the past. They wanted to give the producer a chance and it worked out well. "The song was written about the character, the Scorpion King, in the movie," Erna explained on the set of the accompanying video. "It's about him being this big, masculine badass, but he has this hidden sensitive side to him. He feels like he's isolated, and he likes to do things alone because he was hurt in the past or whatever. I don't really know why he is the way he is. I guess there's always this mystique about those people who are really tough but maybe feel a little bit lonely inside. So the lyrics are kind of based on his character - being as masculine as he can be but yet isolated and a loner." "I Stand Alone" features a chugging main riff enhanced by textural, single-note guitar lines and powerful, melodic vocals. The song starts with a lunging beat and a guitar riff that shifts between a low, rumbling buzz and an eerie series of notes much higher up the fretboard. Then, for the verse, the song locks into a crunching, percussive riff reminiscent of Metallica before kicking back into the eerie opening passage with Sully Erna scream-singing the song's title and the lines "I'm not afraid of fading/ Feeling your sting down inside of me/ I'm not dying for it." During the midsection of the song, the music turns creepy and atmospheric, and the singer moans, "It's my time to dream/ Dream of the skies/ Make me believe that this place isn't made by the poison in me/ Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe." "I Stand Alone" had two Grammy nominations for 'Best Rock Song' and, 'Best Hard Rock Performance' respectively. In an interview with him, Sully Erna said that the group's two Grammy Award nominations took the band by surprise, because they didn't release an album in 2002. "It did take us by surprise, because we've been so busy working on the new record and things like that, we didn't even think about," Erna said. "2002 was kind of a wash for us, except for that one track. It served its purpose. It kept us afloat the whole time we were down working on the new album and stuff, so...but now that it's soaking in I'm like, I'm pretty excited that we just got nominated for a couple. Whether we take it, or whether we don't, it's still...Someone recognized us for the hard work we've done." Also, Erna admits that the band was pretty excited because they were nominated in a rock category. "It was definitely a surprise being nominated again," Erna said. "The first year, I don't even know why we were nominated, because we were in a category with Joe Satriani and these other guys for best instrumental performance. And the instrumental that we had on our record was an accident, so that was pretty bizarre to be nominated for that. But this year we're pretty excited because we consider ourselves a rock band and we're in a rock category."

Been a fan for over 20 years since I was in 5th grade and my dad bought their first album, when I heard him playing it on car rides I was hooked. now I’ll finally be Seeing this guys at Mohegan sun in may for the first time 🤘
I saw Godsmack on the 2011 Mayhem Fest tour in Camden. What pissed me off most was the intensity of the crowd. Sully Erna is one of my favorite front man of hard rock/metal because of that show, because instead of throwing a fit about the crowd not moving for him or being displeased with the band, he continued to play like a pro and played the rest of that show like a professional front man. Met him and got to say, he has my respect hands down. Wish I could see Godsmack with a crowd like this one though
I have seen these guys many times in Oklahoma city and I love them so much I think I have seen them more than any band and I think they r the best band in the world love them so much sully u r the best I love u

James Donn godsmack baby
I saw them in 2012 and the only other band that compared to them at the show was Halestorm.
Fuckin rights they are amazing and know how to work the crowd, they are also the nicest guys I have had the pleasure of meeting

I'm so pissed off and conflicted... I love both bands... I wanna SEE both bands... I don't wanna settle for one and not be able to see the other... GAAAAHHHH!!!!! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?
Sully, has a one of a kind voice, it's a legend itself. A true classic
Sounds like that horrible singer in a band called Metallica
@@theonemodifier it reminds me of a mixture of Metallica for the like lower parts and SOAD for some of the more singy Singy parts if that makes sense
Just think about it🤷♂️😂
@@theonemodifierMetallica shits on this band. Shut up
Reminds me of David Draiman. Different colors but same flavor.
Mix of Hetfield and Kroger, unfortunately. I’m out
My parrots listened this. Now there are two dragons in my room.
Nice one! 😹😹😹
😂 😂
They STAND ALONE!
😂😂
🤘💪🏿🦜😂🤣🤘
No one talking about the effort Tony is doing by singing those second voices and make the harmonies, a true hero
True that
Godsmack is one of the best bands out there, very underrated.
Five fringer death punch is better
Look how many Fans are in the Crowd and singing loud! They are not underrated💪❤
Underrated? This is the band that sells out arenas, has topped the Billboard charts, and sold nearly 20 million records. So underrated? No.
@@billyhardman2534 no way
Well they are kind of underrated in a way
the drummer is a fucking beast and singers voice just.....just amazing
shannon Larkin is the best drummer alive and playing.
@@herballen6244 I wish they had a live recording with Tommy on drums.
Shannon Larkin is a monster
It's funny my friends and I used to make fun of bands like Godsmack bcuz in their day they were pretty average but looking back we rlly had it good with these bands in a way. Compared to popular music today this shit slaps. And yes his voice is killer. Actually has character to it unlike everything today.
@@herballen6244fake news. Danny Carey and Matt Garska exist homie
Bro literally sounds better live than studio version 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
look at the drummer, brutal, amazing, eccentric mad genious.
Best vocals
That's hilarious. Out of all the artists out there, I'd hardly call this the best.
@@emmojo3428 okay clean your ear and listen to it again looks like you have some hearing problems autistic little fuck
@@disneysuperherotv1666 Clean your fucking ears he was off key the whole song lol. On CD though he's beautiful no doubt
@@emmojo3428 Perhaps he is new to Rock/Metal music. Who knows what made him to write such an uninformed statement.
I don't get the hate, he sounds great.
Killer voice
hey
Shannon is one BAD ASS drummer wicked
+tucf15 i wanna see a video just with him being filmed that would be awesome ! He just goes reckless mode
These guys are freaking awesome live. It’s refreshing to hear a modern band that can play and a singer that can actually nail his vocals. 10 out of 10 boys.
Exactly. Most of the best bands’ singers don’t hit all notes live which for me personally is a bit annoying.
Yeah unfortunately this concert is 20 years ago this year:-(
Damn... Its 2023 and still one of my must hear list. Also sounds good live too !
I was unaware how good sully sounded live. Shame on me.
same lol
Sully is fuckin bad ass! so glad I got to see GodSmack \m/
Yeah, you'd think he'd be one of those guys who sounds like complete shit live, but that isn't the case at all. His voice is amazing.
He still sounds like this, for the most part almost 15 years later.
Godsmack is a blessing! Specially Shannon Larkin..
One of the greatest frontman in the music history
This song used to get me so fuckin hype. Still a Godsmack classic, and they sound killer live!
Everything I believe has faded...
What a sound and what a voice!
This song makes me want to play prince of persia the warrior within
agreed
And a damned fine game it is !!!
That game was good... Until the Godsmack soundtrack came. Then it was FUCKING AWESOME
You and me both man
Yes, I love it!
what a drummer
great performance
I did not know how good these guys sounded live.
This,as your hearing it isn't exactly "live" as it's been/being recorded it would hit WAY different if you were hearing it with your own ears directly THAT IS HEH🙂😂🤣👍👍..!!
They're still phenomenal live. I just seen them 🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of the most underrated vocals.. this man never got enough credit for his amazing talent..
Great live performance!
Voice incredible ❤
the song makes prince of persia so kickass........
The music video to this song on the scorpion king vhs is what got me into this band and this is the first metal band I ever listened to
Godsmack puts on the best live performance out of everyone I've seen. Especially the vocals; they're almost identical to the album, but theirs more heart in it for the crowd. I'm not sure if any other singer/band could even possibly display such talent
Sully is one of the most amazing vocalist I don’t think people realize how unedited his voice really is in most of their music! His live vocals are actually more entertaining than the recording
And diverse too, just listen to under your scars live.
I was in a band called Stone. We covered this song. It was our closer. Fucking rocked the place with this one. It's not only a great song to listen to, but an amazing song to play.
My #2 song. Love the sound, music and vocals of this band live in this video! Still listen to it!
His performence is just amazing. No doubt!
les paul guitar + Mesa Amps sound so good when using it on Nu metal genre🤘
YES ! The crowd is with it !
This band never disappoints everybody, this is legend.
I may have grown up during the hair band era, but I must say Godsmack is one of my favorites of all time! Simply awesome!
This is the most sonically flawless live performance ever done. Sounds exactly like the album track. Godsmack's enthusiasm and talented mastery of the song make it perfect.
Ao vivo é tão bom quanto nó estúdio. Sensacional
This is an insane live performance! I love when the vocalist sounds just like in the studio. Completely in tune, all instruments sound good and the audio guy did a good job. It literally sounded exactly like the studio version but live🔥🔥🔥
Great performance. Mr. Erna puts in the energy and effectively channels it thru the crowd. Loved it!
One of the best shows ive seen hands down.
Phenomenal performance and great engagement with the fans! These guys are on another level.
Larkin is a beast!!!
2:38 God, I love this guy.

@@jokiya1Larkin absolutely the MASTER
Awesome! This is real Music.This song was released in 2003 their 3rd studio album Faceless.Still listening,good music never gets old

Absolutely one of the tightest bands in this here world today!! Shannon Larkin is an absolute beast on drums!!!!!!!!
2:39 crazy performance
Crushed it 💥
Shannon just had to unleash real quick lol, Absolute Beast! 🤙
When i was so depressed years ago i found *Godsmack* and this is one of my favorite metal song that helps me fight depression. 🤘
How could anyone not like this? Spot on and the sound is perfect.
One of my favorite rock songs of all time!
I been going back to the gym since my state has opened them up again, I get so much energy in the gym when I listen to this 🤘
FUCK YEAH ME AS WELL MAKES YOU WANA GO THAT EXTRA REPS AND MAKES YA WANT TO RUN LIKE CRAZY
I could listen to them forever.
Brings me back to playing halo and being in middle school. Listening to my hand held CD player while getting ready to go on to the Mat. Oh good times.
Wow, his voice sounds pretty much like the studio version of this song, and he's singing it live. Really dope live vocals, he sounds really good. Great live performance of this song.

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I've told you this once before: can't control me
If you try to take me down, you're gonna break
I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm thinking you ought to make your own way
[Chorus 1]
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
[Verse 2]
You're always hiding behind your so-called goddess
So what? You don't think that we can see your face?
Resurrected back before the final falling
I'll never rest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
[Chorus 2]
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
[Bridge]
And now it's my time (Now it's my time)
It's my time to dream (It's my time to dream)
Dream of the skies (Dream of the skies)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued by the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe
Breathe into me
[Chorus 1]
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
[Chorus 2]
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
[Outro]
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
but why???
Shannon OWNS those drums!! Top 3 of drummers..
