I gotta say that this is AWESOME. I am from Massachusetts and have seen Godsmack 13x and this is great that they did this with the kids. Its great that they are giving back to the next generation.
As an educator for over 30 years, this speaks to me on many levels. One constant over all those years is music. You have made me aware and sensitive to the needs of “all” students, no matter their music preference. I will continue to embrace music of all kinds to the importance of our students past, present and future. I know how much it has helped me through the good and bad times and remember how important it is to all of my students. “WELL DONE YOUNG MAN!!!!!” May God bless you my friend!!!
Absolutely frickin' fantastic! I'm crying just seeing Godsmack sharing their talent and experience of music with the youth. This really needs to happen....more often. Good on you guys, doing a solid. Pay it forward, baby!
Truly one of the greatest lead singers of all time. Being as old as I am, I have seen and heard the best throughout the years. Top five in my book and experience!!!
More bands and musicians in general should be doing this.
Everywhere. ALL Over The World!
They changed the life of EVERY kid involved in that project.
If you want to change the world... This Is How It's Done!!!!!
It's Time to Rise Up and Teach Our Young People They Can Achieve ANYTHING!
YOU POSITIVELY CAN POSITIVELY CHANGE THE WORLD!!!
Now More Than Ever...
We Need More of This!
Thank you Sully for showing this new generation how music can speak to them. You are great.
You guys have given the kids a experience that will last forever and flourish into something "Unforgettable" it was beautiful to watch, flat out gave me chills ❤️
See ya Thursday ♥️
Stay safe and God Bless ❤️
Music is truly a gift.. That vid with kids was incredible!!!
I suffer from severe depression...self esteem....suicidal thoughts.and I thanks for all you do.and your music has pushed me through some really dark times
That music teacher is quite a cutie!!! Never had any teachers like that when I was in school!!
Music on this level as Sully Erna speaks, is almost holistic then academic. America typically down plays anything holistic, but Sully is dead on. Music is holistic and life giving in many ways.
Living on the west coast & being elsewhere in my brain. I hadn't heard of Godsmack. Fast-forward to April 28, 2000...my dad died suddenly. Sure, I was 35, but my world collapsed. I was his little girl, he always called me "Baby Sister", something he never had in real life. We were close as close could be. I never got to say, "I love you. Please do not leave. I don't want to say good bye."
I made it through all the steps of grieving EXCEPT anger. I had never really been angry with him ever in life, how could I be angry at him when he was gone?
I discovered Godsmack when I moved back to my hometown area...it was actually playing "Voodoo" as part of sampler at the local Best Buy. I found it & took that sonofabitch home with me immediately!! I listened to it while I walked for miles upon miles. I was able to work out my anger & my hurt at loosing Daddy. Yes, Godsmack, Disturbed & few other amazing bands helped me heal. I could not ask for better caregivers to my devastated heart.
I do battle anxiety, depression & PTSD. I often wonder not only why I'm still alive, but how I was alive.
I know "When Legends Rise" is a tribute to Sully's beloved Patriots. It came to mean something far more to my husband & I...November 8th, my birthday, we lost EVERYTHING in the Camp Fire (Paradise CA area). We got out with basically the clothes we were sleeping in!!! We had 10 F-ING MINUTES to get out & only 1 way that was even open. Between "Legends..." & "Get Up" by Shinedown, I think I may find my way though PTSD is royally kicking my ass with all these current incessant fires here on the west coast. Often I hate to say it, "Why did I bother to escape? What's the purpose?" I don't know yet, but I still try to put on foot in front of the other each damn day!!!
Thank you, Sully! Thank you, guys of Godsmack! I promise try to not waste what you have saved.
Awesome podcast, but my goodness that video for "Unforgettable" is absolutely amazing. I'm an amateur drummer, huge fan of Smack, and fan of Shannon's since Wrathchild America/Souls at Zero. I'm sitting at my firehouse and i got chills watching it. Good on those students! STAY WITH IT!!!!! GO GET IT!!!!!!
I just found the drum battle between sully and Shannon yesterday morning at 530. Had my drum set set up n playing a bit by 6 lol!! I’ve just rediscovered the first album (circa 9th grade for me ) and been banging it nonstop for a week and a half
@@shanlijerome2736 Way to work!!!
One of my top 5 favorite singers
Outstanding, Awesome, Fantastic..... there's no way to adequately express the greatness of this!!!!! Thank you!!! This is what the world needs.♥️♥️♥️
My favorite band by far. I was lucky enough to see them when the Acoustic album came out in Rapid City South Dakota. They are so good life. Best concert ever been to.
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Thanks Sully! No, I can't stop watching Unforgettable. It speaks to me on so many levels. How fortunate to be in a position to mold the minds of the youth and teach them something that is important.
Its so amazing what your doing with the SCARS Foundation. I had a tough childhood, and it was music that saved my life. During my 7th to 12th Grades, I lived in a house of horrors. Being in the Band during those years, helped me to keep my sanity & not check out. Music was my solice from the pain. The people making decisions to cut music programs, have no idea how much they're hurting children. All the Love, Peace & Joy to you ☮️🕊️🕯️
Sully is a wonderful SOB! Love that dude.
Loved the stream Sully. Looking forward to more content.
Loved this can't wait for Thursday and next Tuesday. The video Unforgettable made me cry, it is my new favorite #1. I have sang since I was 3 and played flute since 7 and piano since 12, and danced since I was 5, nothing professional, but as a former special ed teacher I have always made music important. Music helps me as a artist. This video, this made my heart sing.
Glad to see I was not the only who cried. What an awesome experience for everyone involved.
What a good guy..if only all rock stars had that much class.
i miss you Sully i wish you can do more of your show again and continue this show well i guess i see you whatever i can
Let's do this Smackers let's get Unforgettable #1
I'm an electrician I use trigonometry everytime I bend electrical conduit my wife and I were at the concert in South Carolina thanks for coming and performing y'all were awesome
you're an amazing human being and your music solo and with Godsmack has helped me through a lot. I can feel the energy through your music and it helps so much with what I have gone through in life and I just want to say thank you 😊 🙏
Toot Sully, you and the band deserve it. I have been mesmerized by you guys since 1998. At that time my son was 5 years old. So I'm proud to say Voodoo was his very first rock song that he learned all the words to from the backseat of my car....🤘 TURN IT UP MOMMA, THATS MY JAM. I did while listening in on him. He nailed it.
Godsmack has it. That thing that is very rare in most bands. We have been to 5 live Godsmack shows in Florida. Just missed you for Rockville in Daytona beach. Which would have been in 2 days. May 10, 2020. I sure hope after all this we will still be able to see the show at Daytona international speedway , this was a very big deal for central Florida rockers.
I have been a Godsmack since day 1 and have seen the band live a few times now over the years, the guys have always put on an absolutely amazing show! Bought When Legends Rise on day one as well and after my first play through start to finish, UNFORGETTABLE was hands down my favorite track off the new record!! The song has so much positive energy in every way from groove, lyrics, vocals, etc!!! Even after 2 years now, still my favorite track from WHEN LEGENDS RISE!!!! 🤘😎
A world with out music would be very boring. And like you said, music really is how you described it. One of the greatest though in classical music, Ludwig Van Beethoven when he started loosing his hearing, would lay his head on a piano I believe just to hear and feel the vibrations. Literally banging on the keys, which to those who have good hearing, they say a lot of people could not work with Beethoven for a long time, because he would become out raged that he could hardly hear what people where doing. The performance of the 9th synthony, After the music was over some one had to turn him around because he no longer could hear his master piece. I do music as well as make My own hand crafted flutes but have made some drums too, but as a child I was bullied alot. Music was the only thing that kept Me going on even though I had some pretty fucked up things happen to Me long ago. When I heard Avalon, that was amazing and it resonated in perfect harmony with My soul.
Sully. Such a huge inspiration to me as a musician. I’ve been listening to you since I was 5 when my dad showed me. My mom was upset that “dad put on the red album” but I have never turned back. And used to watch the Scorpion king “Istand Alone” music video before school every day.
Love what you’re doing. Thankyou for everything
Sully I was truly moved by your first show. I am so sick of Society stigmatizing rock and metal music for the last few decades. I am so proud of what you are doing! It starts with one , and baby your running with it! We need to all try to do what we can and together we all can foster generations to come. The kids on your show were awesome. I can’t wait to show this to my child he’s learning to play guitar and loves music as well. Thank You Sully can’t wait for your next show!
Sully and the guys are truly amazing. The video for unforgettable is amazing. Love the boys. Die hard godsmack fan here 20 years and rocking👌
What a awesome podcast and the kids OMFG, just amazing please keep this going. I have been a fan of Godsmack and your solo work as well, saved my life. I was in band in HS as well. again Wonderful performance, to ALL you kids who did this you are Unforgettable, keep up the good work, and never stop. For me a day without music is a day w/o air in my lungs. Blessed Be too ALL and TYVM!!!!!!!!! See y'all soon.
Awesome! Sweeeet! Glad to see and hear about the music program importance. How important music is in our life and our children lives. Some of us with depression it’s a necessity. To take that out of the schools is wrong. I listen to all music so it’s calming, alive, an expression of self and others.
Absolutely amazing, Sully, you my friend have been one of my favorite performers ever since the time I got to witness Godsmack in a small club environment @ Infinity nightclub in Springfield Mass. I remember you guys coming on stage and the entire village as you called us went absolutely nuts. I've been a loyal fan of Godsmack and your solo projects ever since. Those kids did an amazing job and hope they continue their musical journey.
Wow. This was amazing watching the make of the video. Watching the kids faces & they so enjoyed it. So proud of Godsmack involvement with these kids. I've been rockin most of my life. Ya'll made my heart smile with this video. Rock on.
. Music is an entity all its own that can shift how we feel inside within moments of hearing a tune from our past or make our feelings STOP when certain cords are played. Music is healing and I for one will continue to listen to all genres because the feelings can come from listening or playing any type is simply powerful. We find solace, peace, love, and power from music. It takes us away from our NOW for the length of each song and is a gift I wish I could still play my guitar it helped focus on something beautiful in dark times. Much love and peace to you, we need more people like Sully Erna ...Anyone reading this, I love you and may you find the peace and love you seek. I edit this to add one more point... The power works both ways, these bands who sing of killing, suicide and negative subjects that place negativity into the minds of developing minds or troubled ones should be aware of how their music is affecting their listeners... It's not ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
Willow Zepher, thank you! You hit the nail on the head! Thanks for sharing! ✌ out, with 💘
I wish I could give this more than 1 thumbs up.
I'm looking forward to every episode Sully!! Godsmack is doing a lot to Shine the light on positivity!! Great Video and Great song!! I have seen Godsmack 8 times and hopefully 1day I can see your solo show live!! Shout out from Virginia Beach Va!!
You guys have been my favourite band for many years and never miss a show when you come to Edmonton. Watching the video gave me goosebumps and made me smile the entire video. What an amazing experience you gave to these kids and they will never forgot it. Their performance was incredible and I hope you go to number one you all deserve it. 🤘🎸❤
OMG, so powerful! I cried.
Seeing this video was so emotional and heartwarming especially at this time Covid-19 and social distancing.
Constant reminder to never take anything or anyone for granted.
Sully, thank you for delivering such impactful music! Also, this new Hometown Sessions program is awesome!
Love Godsmack and your solo work too. 🎼❤️💕
Awesome show. Congrats Sully. Cheers from Lisbon Portugal.
Hey Sully! WOW! So excited you are doing this podcast... I've missed your first two live sessions so watching them today. Let me tell you I have watched your Unforgettable video so many times and shared it with so many of my friends and family - I'm still such a fan of Godsmack 20+ years later, along with your incredible deeply invested solo career. Bravo young man! My family just doesn't get it they ask "aren't you over this music rush?" ... WHAT!?! LOL! Those silly people, I wish they could experience the rush and excitement of hearing music and then new music - WOW! Rush amplified! Music is my drug of choice ... MUSIC SAVES LIVES! And now... you roll out this incredible production of Unforgettable, just WOW! I'm totally gushing over your involvement with the kids! Your video is incredible, how you and the band members got so involved with teaching and inspiring the kids. What an opportunity for these kids that they will cherish forever. Thank you for being YOU!
Love "Unforgettable ".
Thank you Sully! You, Godsmack (Shannon, Robbie, and Tony) are incredible. And I love all of you! I really needed this little kick in the ass to wake up motivation that is dying inside me and being overcome with laziness! That movement that this session just gave me, I’m going to be bee popping all day! I love you Sully! Always your Fan Danielle (pagan707)
Ok Sully thats awesome what you do with the kids, keep up the show!!!
Wow, love this, so nice to see the different sides of Sully, to learn about the process of making the music video and hear all those extra bits of info. Thank you so much!
Awesome 1st show!!! See you next Thursday
Been a humongous Godsmack fan since I was just a kiddo, myself. Mid-30’s now and I’m still a huge fan. If we can get through all the quarantine bull-crap, an ultimate goal I have for myself is to actually meet Godsmack, and I’ll be darned if I’ll give up on that dream I have. Doubtful I could persuade the band to try and watch the cussing in front of my nieces and nephew, lol, but meeting this band would be a total life goal. Wanted to meet them since the first time I saw the music video for “Keep Away”. Hilarious thing was, after their self titled cd debut, I always thought “Keep Away” was the debut music video but as it turns out, apparently it was “Whatever” and I didn’t realize it until YEARS later. 😂
Boom i tweeted it i Instagramed it ( don't do Facebook ) but putting it out there cause Sully is an Amazing Musician always see him when he comes solo or with Godsmack always good always fun good luck to your show look forward to many more episodes rock on 🤘
So MUCH TALENT in these kids! From beginning to end the hairs are on end! Thank you SULLY ERNA for bringing Unforgettable into my life and surrounding my heart in these troublesome times! You are my GO TO MUSIC 🎶! God bless you and keep you safe! PEACE OUT! WITH LOVE 💘🌹💜💙💛🌹🌹🌹GODSMACK RULES!!🌹🌹🌹🌹💛💙💜😍😍
There are scientific studies that look at the connections of melody, rhythm, harmony, timbre, and tone upon the brain and specifically the auditory system. It's interesting to me how certain tones automatically direct certain feeling and emotion such as in movie and tv soundtrack to steer us along the story in a direction in the same way the dialogue does.
“Music is live”, this means a lot :every single day each of us have this music we are listening because keeps us smiling and happy. So, I would say it s time to include music in kids education. Thanks Sully for this awesome suggestion!. By the way, I m looking forward to see Godsmack back on stage wherever in France!!
I loved this !!! I'll be back thursday. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. Music has always been my passion. And of course Godsmack is my most favorite band ever. Then korn. Thank you Sully for doing this series of videos.
Wow at the end watching the video! Like I said let make this #1 Sully you and rest of the guys in Godsmack truly super inspiring!! Filled with sooooo much emotion right now thank YOU for being YOU! I've been here since the first record got your solo records and man perfect word i can say to you is its Unforgettable 🤘
Music really saves lives, and your music, Sully, once saved my life. Thank you and the guys from Godsmack for your work! You are amazing! Keep going!!
Great Episode @sullyerna this is a tremendous opportunity you are providing for so many people who love music, who love the music you and @Godsmack create. Unforgettable is an absolutely amazing video, it brought tears to my eyes watching all of those kids fall into that zone a musician gets into when performing music. Keep doing what you are doing, you and the rest of the band are doing great work on stage and off. My first @Godsmack concert, in San Antonio, TX Halloween Night in 2000, Disturbed, Godsmack and Stone Temple Pilots. That's when I was blown away by your stage performance. @SullyErna your face painted all white, you and the guys blew away the headliner that night, no knock on them, but you did. Thank you so much for all of the music. I am moving on to episode 2 and will watch live tonight, EP3.
I love conversations like this. Other artists get it, those who aren't don't. Refreshing. I miss my late ex, used to jam every night, chat about music and art and it's cool to be understood and others understanding it. Not many artists, let alone rock or rock knowledge where I live, without such conversations and music and places to express it, I feel like I'm starving to death. Not full, complete.
I LOVE you Sully
So amazing! Love these kiddos!
This is freaking amazing! I've never really investigated Godsmack all that much, but Sully has earned my respect. Time to investigate their catalog. Loved this so very much!
Nesquick strawberry milk brings me back to elementary school because I couldn't drink regular white milk and I snuck my baggy of nesquick in so I could go to recess without any problems ✌🏻 brings me back every time.
Great show Sully! You`re very good as a host , great topics. Looking forward to see more of it
Would love to see you do The Hot Ones show when this craziness is done with, Sully.
Wow!!! That video made me cry guys! What you did for those kids will never be forgotten.
This hit's me close i was that kid that music was my friend when i had none WOW Thanks for that video I never could play very well so am am on the other side of it am a L D so work out well Thank You
Wow. Wow. Wow
Glad to know that I'm not the only one who think what explained from min 12:24...Thank Sully I don't feel mad anymore for thinking that we are a group of atoms staying together with energy and vibrations are energy, the entire world is made the same... so tecnically we can interact with everything...
Awesome stream definitely takes my mind off of current events looking forward to more thanks Sully
The power of smell is amazing and that you would talk of that cause I tell my family that all the time and music can make you feel sooo many things! Love your podcast sully.
I absolutely LOVE THIS!!!! ❤ can't wait to see more !
Love Love Love this
That was incredible! What a great experience for those kids and having them perform on that song makes it really shine. Thank you Godsmack for sharing. Keep rockin it!!!
Thanks Sully! 👍
great job on the new song unforgettable great job love it bro thank you im going to buy the single right now lol
Sully's actually a very good host. This was great. Looking forward to more episodes.
ANDREW - you ROCK 🎶🎶
Love all that you do! Funny to me I used your music to feed my demons years ago, and now I use your music and some of the same songs as before to stay sane👍 it’s just a mind set I guess! The paths we choose help a ton also! Keep up the great work please!! Tell the boys in the band they rock also 👊
Hello Sully. I have seen all 3 shows and looking forward to the next one. Excellent Video with the Students and them helping with the Song. Top marks! I know you have plans for more guests. Try to get Jason Bonham on the show. He will appreciate the photos on your wall, He also used to Race Motocross. Was even interviewed in Dirt Bike Magazine once. Seen Godsmack twice now and have been on board since Keep Away. Kudos from the ATL.
Sully is a cool f’n dude. Worcester MA REPRESENT
I would probably be dead without music.
Agreed! I wish my husband understood why music means so much. I can just turn it up & get lost. Lost is good when life blows.
Music tames the savage beast/hearts. A little head bangin' keeps me off the ledge so to speak!
At work but got my ear bud's I'll be listening 🤘🤘
That was awesome!!
So on the topic of the arts being cut. I grew up where the arts were strongly encouraged. I'm not sure I ever heard it being a consideration for cutting. Writing, Theater, Band, Choir, we met authors, sang at Carnegie, traveled to see musicals, competed through the state (similar to sports would do). It seems the instructors there were quite aware that having some sense of creative thinking and abilities ensured we could adapt to change. Use our brains to figure things out when we hit rough patches in life. Then I went on to schools where it wasn't important and seen kids whose schools were cutting programs. The arts are, at the very least, vital life skills. In times like now, none of us know what to do, lose a job and if no savings, people are devastated and lost. This is where those creative skills can come in and be relevant to how we move forward when we're stuck at home. As artists as well, we tend to draw/gravitate toward others that are. A great think tank for how to keep sane and also survive. Things we actually don't need take lower priority, we're aware and we can all evolve into a new system. Plus, me personally, music takes me anywhere I want to go. It's like time travel, but also sets mood or allows expression for mood and to vent those emotions. Such keeps my brain screwed on straight. Jamming with others, I miss, but even if I'm bored senseless, I can draw, paint, work on a larger art project, play what ever music and go in that zone or work on my vocals. Getting me through another day until I do figure out what to do and not feel like this is never going to end. Making the best of it and music, the arts, besides adaptability/creative thinking gives me an outlet. I'm forever grateful to the teachers I had growing up and still remember their names. I needed the arts, personally back then, and certainly helpful now but an absolute eternal part of my life. Cutting arts programs should never be an option, I can only imagine the obstacles youth face in comparison to the ones I had.
Great episode!!! Love that you are doing this. That video "FUCKING AMAZING" - chills, watery eyes, the whole deal. What an amazing experience for all the kids involved. Andrew - YOU ARE A ROCK STAR and hope you continue to get stronger every day! Wouldn't it be great to get these kids a copy of a Gold Album!! Let's make it happen. How many more sales are needed for Gold status???? Let's spread the word!
We don't want anything that isn't for our highest greatest good.
Godel Escher Bach the Eternal Golden Braid -- exactly what Sully is talking about...
I would love to hear & see the video of all the kids with Godsmack doing this song.
Color is a frequentcy as well. I used to see colors when I listened to music.
Thank you very very bad ass 🤘🤘🤘🤘
So glad to see you doing this. Poor cohost is quiet lol nah really I’d be nervous as a bucket of farts scared to be sniffed. He will get better. Thank you sully, can’t wait for more. Unforgettable will hit gold easily! Video gave me goose pimples!
Also my first big concert in Lewisville 01 0r 02 it was GODSMACK , STAIND , COLD THAT fucking show was amazing
Cool show! ✌🏻
🎶🖤
It's crazy how life works accidentally clicked on this show my aunt sent me a link to because Everytime my bipolar hits the dark I forget to listen to my music thank you. if you only really could truly understand how very close I've been to giving up on life all together too many times I've truly believed that people are better off without me... then somehow the universe answers with these situations that just save me. Thanks for the reminder... music
it's worth a try if you want to die, sorry about the sick humor but deal with it
Love the stereo set up what receiver are you running i noticed the Klipsch speakers right off the bat?Been a fan since the beginning thanks for your music.
So mother fucking awesome that you brought Andrew on 👍👍
