Jeezus Kryst. One of the most distinctive rock singers ever. I mean, Sully is powerful as hell. Can play any instrument seemingly. Absolutely killing it on a Rush song and I just knew he was going to. I had to play this as soon as I saw it! Huge Rush fan since 1984. Favorite band ever. Sully did this a lot of justice!
@@paulcherry8742 Greatest/best is subjective to the listener. Neil would tell you that it wasn't him but instead it was Buddy Rich or John Bonham. Neil is hands down the most technical drummer I've ever head and Rush is by far my favorite band, but I'd probably take Buddy Rich or Mitch Mitchell over Neil.
Neal was awesome! But do videos like this make you think he wasnt? YT channels sounds a good as he. Maybe he was not as cool as we thought if every drummer can copy him? I love neal and hate to say it but kinda makes sense?
@@johnn3793 Im just thinking in a neutral way. Drummers coping another as being so good in a way make it seems like the original wasn't as special as it seemed if others can do it too. Love Neil! Oh wait. I spelled it wrong. That must of been your comment. They all rock! RIP Neil! Love Rush!
He's not copying him, he's paying him homage. Huge and much respect to Sully. Listen to Godsmacks song Serenity, its coincidentally About Neil Peart and the book that Peart wrote called The Ghost Rider. Peart lost his daughter and his wife within a year, got on a motorcycle and drove pretty much forever on it in search of a reason to live, and then wrote that book. Sully read it and it was the inspiration for Serenity. Give it a listen and then say that he's 'copying' Neil...
Yeah, I know, man! People need to quit with the hate, (which shows up in many different ways), and they need to learn how to respect, and love, their fellow Man. We weren't put on the face of this Earth to be hating on, hurting, and even killing each other. We were put here to show love and compassion towards our fellow Man, no matter who it is, and no matter what they do! If I sound like I believe in God and Christianity, that's because I do believe in that lifestyle, and I try to live it! I'm not perfect, but I'll do my best to show love and respect for everyone! To finish:I didn't even know that Sully Erna could play drums! This is truly amazing! He's got a huge load of talent, I'll give him that. I knew that he sings the lead vocals for his group, but I didn't know that he had drumming abilities. The old saying is true:Ya learn something new every day!
🤘🏼❤🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁❤🤘🏼 Neil is looking down smiling. Thinking......🤔......"Damn, not only does Lawrence / Boston Ma. put out one hell of a rock band. But that Sully Erna sure can play the skins." OUTSTANDING tribute Sully!!! 🤘🏼🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🤘🏼
That crazee Ole Sully! Drumming to perfection on that song...then, at one point during the song, actually taking time to cross himself, like the Catholics do...and then, at the end of the song, standing up, bowing to the "Audience" on his right, then turning, and bowing to the "Audience" on his left... This dude's pretty cool!
Now if only he would actually become Catholic to save his soul and so he can one day be with our Lord in Heaven...because as of now that I know, Sully and Shannon are Wiccan/satanists...Shannon wears demon pentagram shirts and even has baphomet statue in his yard...and Sully is often seen wearing a pentagram star pendant as he is in this video...
First and foremost R.I.P. Neil you maybe gone but never EVER forgotten. Second…Holy ( word RUclips won’t let me say) AMAZING AMAZING job Sully you multi talented amazing S.O.B. I have a new found respect for you. Side note always did respect the heck out of you .
Nice one Sully!! I hope you are still enjoying the photos of Neil I gifted to you and Shannon on new years eve hard rock show. Also thanks for the stick throw in Tampa stage right, I gave it to the handicap girl sitting behind me. She was stoked beyond words.
Did you expect Sully to play EXACTLY like Pete? Only Pete played like Pete. Sully plays just about everything out there, truly one of the greatest musicians today. Sully is playing his version of this song! He isn’t trying to be Pete. Ever hear and see his rendition of Rocky Mountain Way? It’s his version of Joe’s song and it’s great! So for all of you with negative comments…YOU try it! 🤘🏼rock on Sully, doing what you do best, music, the Godsmack way!
Really on target, and unlike a lot of drummers who try to cover this he is hitting the the proper power and energy all the way through. A lot went into getting this all correct, bravo.
Love the moment he took to cross himself like a good Catholic when he was praying he'd be able to do Neil Peart justice!🥁 Really awesome to know that even when you've made it you can still have your musical heroes/heroines 🤟🥁👍🔥
He blessed himself, not “crossed himself”. Now if only he would actually become Catholic to save his soul and so he can one day be with our Lord in Heaven...because as of now that I know, Sully and Shannon are Wiccan/satanists...Shannon wears demon pentagram shirts and even has baphomet statue in his yard...and Sully is often seen wearing a pentagram star pendant as he is in this video...
@@vananon51 The information is out there if you care to look. Sully used to identify as Wiccan years ago but in a more recent interview, he says he doesn't follow any particular religion or denominations. Also, for the record since I'm sure you won't bother to fact check yourself, Wicca and Satanism are two different beliefs. Maybe we'll say Christian/Muslim.
It is indeed awesome to the nice lady below me. But remember Sully has been on a drum set since a Toddler. I am a drummer however not in his class. He can play any Godsmack so g on the drums. Very talented ma.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I think Neil would be okay with you subbing in for him. Not an easy legend to follow by any means, but by Jove I think that you did it. Cheers!
You have to remember too sully isn't a full time drummer. Hasn't been since his 20's I believe. To me the guy is just a really well rounded musician. Say what you want, but es done some great things in the rock world. I haven't been a fan of their newer stuff cause I think they're better than that. They're good enough to write complex material they just don't. That being said I'll always have love for Sully and the boys in Godsmack.
@@tomva7142Check out the live version of him and John from Dropbox at House of Blues in Vegas doing Reefer Headed Woman. Plays the harmonica perfect in it and him and John's vocals are passed Amazing 🤘🤘
Actually Sully is not only a drummer, but he’s a Pro drummer who wrote all the drum parts on the first Godsmack album, as well as the drums on the new song “Truth” on #LightingUpTheSky. He also came up with the drum duel with Shannon, and wrote percussion on his solo records. Sully is what’s known as a “multi-instrumentalist”. Drums, piano, guitar, bass, harmonica, percussion, vocals, lyrics...also, drums was his first instrument and he was the drummer of his former band before Godsmack. 🥁
Decent drummer. He rushed in the beginning, but still in the pocket. In one part he also played cymbal washes when he should have played on the ride. With more practice he can play this song perfectly.
Sully, you are such a talented man! Every time I watch you perform on any instrument, I'm so amazed by your talent! Don't ever stop! Love you!
Out of the park! That guy is an amazing musician!
F*** yeah, Helluva musician! Helluva front man too! 🤘🤘
Great job sully nothing but respect for you let's see more

Honestly, I was surprised by Sully playing this song as well as he did...and notice the Paragon Cymbals.😉
Excellent work by Sully, paying homage to one of the all time greatest drummers to ever get behind a kit! Much respect to Sully Erna!!
Much much respect 🤘🤘
Flawless performance honoring the greatest drummer of all time!
Greatest drummer of all time?????? Really?????? Yes , he is a very talented musician, but a far cry from the best of all time.

Great!
Looks so happy
I wonder what Tom thinks, or Sully of El Estepario Siberiano...this play sounds good to me.
he's got neils style absolutely nailed down in the verses, to a T.
Pretty Cool...
You are One of the best performer's out there if i was gay I'd be all over you keep up The good work
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not easy to copy Neil. But it looks like you did it! Bravo!
Sully enjoying age 13 again.
I think Rush found their new drummer....at least when he's not on tour with Godsmack...
Is he rushing or dragging? Not my tempo.
Lucky he gets to watch Shannon play drums, Sully Is.
That guy probly facts in tune
🤘🏼😆🤘🏼 👊🏼
hear you are not a drummer. either way, that was awesome brother. you did Neil proud!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that the professor would like this
Had no clue
Killer
Close, looked and sounded labored, when Peart did it fluently and effortlessly.
....and he plays it correctly.
Good but damn he had to struggle. NP stuff ain't easy to play. Crazy syncopated rhythms.
Decent drummer. He rushed in the beginning, but still in the pocket. In one part he also played cymbal washes when he should have played on the ride. With more practice he can play this song perfectly.
This song is so difficult to play drums it shows how unbelievable Neil Peart was drumming and how he is a legend
@@tylerpatterson4787 It's not really that difficult at all .... It just has some odd time signatures that people are not used to hearing
Nav vvvele
This stuff just proves how easy it was for Neal and he wasnt as cool as we think.
hard to copy neil.....neil even had trouble himself sometimes
Weird. He has killer chops and fills but then is so stiff and uncoordinated when playing time.
Gd try bud
I'm sure you could do better???
Meh
What?
