- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Sully and Godsmack had a party in Vegas to discuss how much radio has meant to their career, the goal of releasing an album to rival Michael Jackson and his claim to 5 #1 hits on one album, and why this may be their last.

After 20+ years of touring and pumping out albums, these guys earned their stripes. They deserve a chance to slow down and enjoy life.
There's plenty of Bands that run forever and we'd love them keep rolling, but to Sully's point we don't want to be the Stones at 80. BUT there's a big difference between writing your own end rather than your ratings right it for you. How many season and sequels of NCIS, CSI Fast and Furious movies were/are there now?
Well said couldn't agree more
@@janice8925 Tell me something, have you ever been in a band before? Have you ever tried to tour? Because it’s rough. You have no home life most of the time, you’re away from your friends and family. And after doing it for so long, you start to feel a little burned out, and you want to just simply be a person again. Think about that please.
@@janice8925I missed the part where he said that he was going to stop writing. Just because he's not going to make new albums it doesn't mean he won't write stuff in his free time just for fun and not for profit.
After 27 years of music it’s more than fair to call it. I’m sure sully will put out more solo albums. Nobody wants to be doing music at 90. At least not at a high intensity. The Rolling Stones are legends but their 25 years past retirement.
Godsmack will never go away, just because they have chosen to put out a final album doesn’t mean they’re done. The great thing about music is that every song can have a different meaning or impact you in a different way each time you listen to it. Godsmack has found a way for a single song to reach massive amounts of people who are all going through different struggles, triumphs, and other life changing events. Take a bow gentlemen, you have achieved more in your life times than most others can, and you have touched more people in this world than others can. This isn’t “good bye”, this is more like “I’ll see ya later”.
Nothing wrong with doing “Greatest Hits Tour” and ride until the end, at this stage of the game. This band has already earned its prestigious status.
Watch how quick the crowds shrink cuz theyve already seen same show ten times
i need a awke, faceless, watever tour
Sully is such a good person. I'll truly miss new music from him, but I will always appreciate what he did.
Sully and Shanon, your drumming has inspired our now 29 year old son to become a fucking monster on the drums as well. We took him to one of your shows when he was 10, you changed his life.now he plays for two bands. Can't wait to see you live again with him in Pittsburgh! Love you guys! Thank you for the awesome music and inspiration! Nephews band
That is incredible. Love to hear some of his music! Can you link or post something plz?
Godsmack has been a kickass band from the beginning. I absolutely love their music.
I got into GS in 1998. I finish work at 5:30pm. I went to a computer shop, to buy a game. Has I walk in they we’re playing moonbaby. And I thought WOW this song is amazing.
So the next day after work, I went to a record shop, which was across the road from the computer shop. I bought there first album 1 week later. And I’ve been a fan ever since 😊 Thank you GS for many years of great music and beautiful memories 🙏
Whatever got me and I believe I've been a fan here since probably around 98 or 99 as well it was just something about that song and the power in his voice and the words as a Angry Young preteen/teenager it was something to relate to and plus it just f****** rocks for always and forever🤘 and yes not to mention I have heard that album from front to back and definitely one of my all-time favorites and it's still my favorite Godsmack album always
@@J.o.e_K hell yeah absolutely💟😎🤘🤘
New music can become classics over time. Please don't stop making music.
This is a very special moment in the life of my son and our life. I just bought tickets for a concert. You have been on my concert bucket list, and now my son and I finally get to see you.
That is awesome!
These guys music saved my life thru my dark times when I was younger
When I first heard about this I thought it was a cop out. I've now watched two interviews with Sully about it and I completely respect what they're doing. They've given their fans 25+ years and they want to enjoy their lives. Good for them.
I am so proud to say that Godsmack is my favorite band!!! For almost 25+years now
I love every single song Godsmack has made . They are always my go to play list . … my husband and I flew from Houston to Vegas just to see Godsmack, what a night and what a memory, can’t wait to see them here in Houston for 2023 😊
I'm fortunate enough to be from their home state of Mass. so I have seen them 8 times now and they never disappoint. I'm excited to see what else Sully is up to because he is an extremely diverse talent.
@@seanriopel3132 Forgot they were from Mass but just as I was reading your comment Sully says "as we stahhhted sequencing the rekkid..." and I was dually reminded of that fact. 😆
@@ioncewasmikey 🤣😂
Thank you guys for 25 years absolutely the best band out and the best music God bless
The first time I saw Godsmack was 1999 on the Ozzfest tour in Vancouver and I’ll see you for the second time tomorrow night in Abbotsford. Thank you for the awesome tunes and good times 🍻🎸
LOOOOOVE GODSMACK since the very beginning I've been a fan. What a journey w tge music. GODSMACK music has helped me through sooo many bad times. Even being homeless now. Trying get to get help. ❤❤❤❤
No matter what I've always been a Godsmack fan since the 2000s and I'll forever be a Godsmack fan forever. , it's okay if you guys are ready to retire from doing music. Sully Erna you are one of the best musicians of all time. Whatever you want to do in your life now after music do your thing man, do what makes you happy, it was nice knowing you and I enjoy listening to your music you're one hell of a talent.
Godsmack is the reason I got into this genre of music. Whatever they want to do in their life then I'll support and I will continue to love their music
Well they not young anymore, so it makes sense for this album to be the last, i'm grateful for all the great music throughout the years from these guys
They are still young Godsmack is just lazy
They aren't young, but they aren't old enough to be retiring from the studio. Most bands do this when they're really old and nobody remembers them. Godsmack are still huge, everyone knows who Sully Erna is.
Doesn't mean they can't stop playing the good stuff like we pay to see, bring back the deep cuts
There was a new band the other day that were older than them.
@@P3T3RXIII Probably don’t have the milage Godsmack does.
Brilliant !!! Everything Sully does is magical 💯 So much respect for him as an artist and a person. I love the plan to bring it full circle and then doing a greatest hits tour. I cannot wait to hear this new album !! Get those 5 number ones !! 😎
🤘😎
Sully's a true genius, always have had great respect for this band and all the music it's brought to my ear hole. Thanks GODSMACK
I've never been this excited for an album to release. Legends Rise was way beyond my expectations.
This is a good group right here!
I remember seeing them in Erie Pa 2002. I got to get a picture with Sully with my boyfriend at the time. Best teenage memory ever!!!
Best of luck to you guys ❤😊🤟🏻
would've loved to been in the room to hear those 4-5 songs.
Always a go to band, never disappointed.
Overrated beta male band.
Absolutely 🤘😢 have always been one of my favorite bands and always will be
@@raqueledwards6061 had 1 disagree but funny he did 👎lol
@@garretttiedje3994 OK why is that hun?
@@raqueledwards6061 sorry he didn't give a 👎
My boyfriend and I are from Long Beach, California and they were playing in Vegas on our 3rd year anniversary at the 48 hour festival with Korn and let me tell you they played a great show for almost an hour and a half and they played all my favorites like Voodoo, Go away, I stand alone, Love Hate Pain Sex etc. I’ll always remember that night and I’m grateful for seeing them love you Sully!!!! ❤♒️💋🙏🏼👍🏼🎼🎧🎤🥁🎹🎸😊
Glad to have seen them in concert. Forever ago as it was.
Thanks for years of great music. A greatest hit tour sounds awesome! You guys deserve this.
My all time favorite band ever is Godsmack!!!! Ilthey have got me through some troubbling times and through searching for my true self. I will never forget Sully's, or Godsmack's in general, impact on my life. He is the sole reason my dream has always neen to be a vocalist for a band... sadly i never could find or figure out information on where/how to start but thanks to Sully i will never stop singing while doing every day things like walking to work and the occasuonal karaoke lol
I was excited about their new album, but now I'm saddened hearing this 🥺 but I do understand where they're coming from. It's also sad to hear. I think back to when my sister had an album of theirs on her birthday cake, how is it that they're already calling it quits is where my mind goes, but that was so long ago, that the fact they kept going all these years, is quite amazing and a blessing 🙏
You guys are my absolute favorite. I'm so grateful for your music. You've kept me "mostly" sane over the years😂. I'm thankful that I got to see you twice in concert. I even bought your book!! Thank you for all of your hard work over the years, and thank you for making us fans feel like part of the family. ❤❤❤❤
My favorite too. Saw them twice as well. Love them! ❤️🤘
🌟 Sully please don't think about this being your last album. Please just take a big break and put out another album when you have a set of songs you love as you live life and come up with them. Then you can put out another album down the road. Yes we all love hearing the hits by the legends but sometimes the latest album and time zone may be the best or it is just as great and keeps is all going. We always love you and need Godsmack and you're solo albums to look forward to & enjoy. Have fun doing whatever you want!😎👍
1st band to see in my life when I was 12, no joking, and It was a concert I'll never forget. Sad to see them stop producing music but hey you cant always have it your way. I think this band has earned what they have today, more than a bunch of fans, a great reputation. now the need a chance to get a life, get back to doing what they want to. Thanks guys for being there most of my life and it was a more than great run. Hope you have a greatest hits tour or something of the sort. Most of all go do what YOU want to do.
I've enjoyed from day 1. Thanks for all the great music. It has carried me through my life literally. I will continue to blast each album accordingly lol
Sad to watch all the bands I grew up admiring, and appreciating and loving go! GODSMACK has ALWAYS been in my top 5! Carry on Sully 🙏❤️
Cameo appearances in others songs every now an then would be a blessing to the fans whenever they move on
They gave us damn near a quarter century of great music. Their self titled and The Oracle albims are my two favorites. But the growth it took to get from point A to point B in this specific example is exemplary.
I like the self titled and the Oracle the best as well
Been a fan since day one. Seen many shows. Have all the albums. Good times. One hell of a run guys!
I saw them on tour with Metallica way back in the early/mid 2000's. I love Metallica, but Godsmacks live performance that night was better. It was really something to behold.
@@jamesdjl4359 yes their live show Is something to behold. Seems like all the shows I saw. They just kept getting better. From the late 90's and up. You could see the progression from being young to more mature. But still the shows were awesome.
🤘💋
@@jamesdjl4359 well I bet I have to check it out someday before it's too late there's something that's still wish were around before everybody started dying and quitting or getting fired or I was too young at the time to see but I still listen to their music and I keep them in my memory everyday rock on for life🤘
Seeing them live for the first time ever in May in Franklin, TN...after being a fan since '99. Even have their logo tattooed on my shoulder. Can't f'n wait 🤘🤘
He is an absolute gem. Great talent and voice. Love the band and can't wait to see where they go in future.
Finally someone who gets it. Far to often bands keep making music that never seems to capture the same feeling or quality and everyone just wants to here their older stuff they love. Some bands are fortunate enough to just keep hitting homeruns like Red Hot Chili Peppers but Metallica fan's just want to hear anything before Garage Inc.
Yes so let's triple challenge Godsmack to follow that hit after hit success like The RHCP. The new Godsmack single ROCKS!!! I love it along with their big known hits and gems. ☺
I hear you, but Death Magnetic still has some of my favorite metallica songs
Im a Metallica and I like even their newer stuff. Death Magnetic is a great album. Sure Ride the Lightning is still my favourite album but their newer stuff is good too IMO
im sorry Metallica sucks always has and theyre a has been band and a bunch of jack wagons who dont appreciate their fans and they just need to go away the old farts they are and couldnt even begin to measure up to bands like Godsmack, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc.
@@darkshad0wz69 without Metallica there wouldn't be any of those other bands and they would ALL say that themselves! You're just one of those douchebags who can't like anything once it becomes too popular. Get lost. Master of Puppet's is one of the greatest albums of all time! They may not be your cup of tea but that's like saying the Beatles and Elton John suck. Ok, bad example. But you get my point 😉
saw these guys live in 08 when I was 19 at the landmark theater in Syracuse New York, would see them again in a heartbeat
Wife and I have been to every show when they come to town. 1 more time to Tucson would be awesome!!!
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD COME CLOSE TO NH!!!! IVE BEEN A FAN SINCE THE BEGINNING AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET TO A SHOW. I CANT HAVE MY GODSMACK JOURNEY END WITHOUT A SHOW. I LOVE YOU GUYS. I WISH YOY ALL THE BEST.
Sad to hear that…😢 I am so glad that I am going to see ya in Manchester this Saturday.
Love and respect you brother! Saw you guys tour when you did the show “other side” you for sure rock. Love that you plan on exploring other facets of your lives. Your music is timeless, plenty of hours to still listen to for years to come 🤘😎
I'm so fortunate to have an expectation to see Godsmack playing live for the first time on November, 12th here in Brazil (Godsmack first time on South America) - Godsmack 4 Life!!!
Yeah about that, we'll have to wait for the 1st South American tour lol :/
@@fuckinliveinsin Yes .... Sad 😭
Im Forever a fan. Will be listening to your music new or old until my last breath. So much Admiration and Respect for the Love you show your fans. Right here Beside you all the way.
Saw Godsmack for the first time in uk in October,so happy i did
It was a great experience to be feet away from Sully & Godsmack....Hell yeah !!🤘🤘
I hesitated before reading the comments on this announcement. 🖤 I want to point out the amazing outpour of love and support. Godsmack gained respect and love by giving it. Thank you Sully, Shannon, Robbie and Tony for sharing with us. 🤘❤☠
Thanks for all the great music over the years. It's hard to hear this but it is very understandable. You were the band that got me Into rock and roll.
Saw Godsmack 3 times in concert. Absolutely love you guys!! Was heartbroken when I heard last album but totally understood. Hopefully you come to Wisconsin so I can see you again!
It completely is understood about the Journey you are taking. The Universe has Blessed you over the year's with a Legendary Gift!! No matter what Path you Choose to take us true fans will have that DUALITY TO Ride with you till the Afterlife. So excited to hear this new one as I have everyone you have made signed a sealed to carry on the Multidimensional Realms of Frequency you carry through each realm. You are the true Pillars of Strength and the Blessing as the Beacon of Light to a World Unawakened. As Above, SO Below, AS Inside, AS Outside your Roots will always connect much Deeper then the Depths of the Ocean. Let's persevere forward and see what you guys are bringing to the table. Thank you Sully Shannon Robbie and Tony and all the miraculous phenomenal motivational inspirational extraordinary unique things that you are sending lots of love and light!!!
Nooooooooo!!!! You guys are part of the soundtrack to my life. Thanks for the great music!! ❤🤘🏽♥️🤘🏽♥️🤘🏽
Exactly how I feel how🤘🥰💗💜😍😪
Even if this is the last album by Godsmack....I will always jam your music. My favorite album is Awake. But all of the albums hold their own ground and I will rock to them all
People need to stop being so upset they have put amazing stuff out. I still listen everyday. I'm 27 and I understand how tired they are. And guys they can always change their minds I'm the future and let them live their lives with their families they deserve it!
These guys have MORE than earned the right to go out the way THEY want to. They have ALWAYS tipped the cap to those who came before (see Sully's comments on touring with Metallica) and they have ALWAYS tried to give some to those to come (see "Unforgettable" video). Bravo gentlemen and kudos for always doing it YOUR way. 💯👍🏻🤘🏻
I 150% respect this! They are people with lives! An they can do what ever they want! They never have an never will owe us anything! But I love them for everything they have done for us!
Godsmack is always stays in our hearts❤they are golden . The best. Thank god i knew them in my life ❤so sad that they won’t put more songs out😢 literally got me crying 😢 😢
I’m so glad I’ve become a Godsmack and Sully Erna fan. They will always be special to me
I've thought this guy was the coolest shit since I was in like the 6th grade. He's held it down. I'm 34 now and I'm more of a fan now than I feel like I've ever been, because we're getting to see it come full circle.
I wish the group a wonderful life afterwards! I hope they all fulfill their dreams! GOD SPEED!
Sully is such am awesome person in everything he does.
I'm sad. But, Sully is an amazing singer, the band is brilliant and badass. I've listened to them since the beginning and hope this thing kick arse. First album was magic in my eyes and ears. This new album sounds really amazing.
Sully is an amazing talent
Godsmack has been my absolute favorite hand since 1996... I am both undeniably heartbroken this is the last album and be gone elated that they will have much needed family time now.. Sully is someone I adore for not only his earth shattering and sould commanding voice, but how genuine of a person he is.. This news is a blow but also a new beginning.. ❤
Loved you guys when I first heard Voodoo back in the 90s (dont remember exact year now LOL) and was recently able to see you guys live at Carolina Rebellion. It has been a journey and absolutely support you guys!! Much Love!
Just saw them on this current Staind/Godsmack tour 2023. Haven't seen them since 2004. They still rock so damn hard. Total respect for what he's saying here.
It’s time we all take that leap into the void full of gratitude for all the earth lessons.. Love u Godsmack✨😽🌹
Respect!! Been listening to you guys for a long time! Still remember when I first bought yalls album; a lucky find at the record shop in the mall! It was my dad who introduced me to you guys and I’ve been listening since
Vodoo, running blind, touché, Serenity, 4 of the best tracks
Whatever
Godsmack has always been a good solid hard rock band. I've never seen them in the headlines for any negative reason, and from what I can tell they keep their private life private, and keep the fans properly informed about their musical ventures. Though I've never really followed them at all, I do like what I've heard from them, and I respect them very much as musicians. They've had a damn good run. Keep em moshin guys 🤘🤘
🤘
Love this… Inspirational!!
What I Love more is that you keep it Real & Sincere ❤
🙀😞 man you guys are legendary I hope to catch a show before you stop touring it’s been my dream since your voodoo album 😢
These guys are amazing. I've loved em since the beginning! Totally relate
Godsmack was in Minneapolis last spring, but it was the same night my son's senior prom, so we flew to Tampa to see them. 100% worth the trip. These guys are awesome and I wish them the best, cant wait to see them live again.
This is heartbreaking. I love the new style. I only liked the hits from previous albums. But that last album was truly what I always want from a band. This sucks!
Godsmack was always a great band and always will be thx for the great stuff and live performance its sad to hear but i understand the covid disease change alot people like me to we all have only one life we should do what we want to do with wish all members from the band the best 😎👍🤘
They get better with age man love the new single and saw them in satx amazing musicians rock on 🤘
i will never forget meeting Sully in North Reading Mass. I knew then that he was going somewhere
Godsmack has to be in my top 5 list of favorite all time bands. Maybe top 3. I enjoy listening to their music every single day.
I understand but it’s sad we won’t hear any new music. 😢
Completely
I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart I'm going to put it all together for her just like she deaerves
Dude I remember the first godsmack song I ever heard. It was The Enemy from WWE Summerslam 2006 and I thought to myself "this song is so fucking cool and then years later I saw them live and until I saw green day that was the best night of my life. So learned a couple songs after I saw them and I fell in love with 1000hp and have been a godsmack fan ever since. So yea when they come around I'm gonna rock out with one of my all time favorite bands Godsmack.
Well to each his own!!
But. Ya know Ozzy is old
One of the best Concerts I've ever seen.
And By Far the Very Best
That took my whole life to see
Iron Maiden.
And I feel very Blessed 💕☺️
That I got to see both of these amazing
Artists
Good Luck. Peace , Love, Light.
This is my FAVORITE album by far yet 👍👍
I discovered the band in 2016 after playing Prince of Persia Warrior Within on my PC. The energy and Thrill of 'I stand alone' and 'Straight out of line' was just awesome. I wish you the best GodSmack. Seeing this as your last album is definitely a bit saddening for me, but you said it right, there is much more things you wanna do in life. Wishing to see you soon !
Godsmack is an awesome metal band. They are not breaking up. They are just taking a long big break. 🤘🏽
Godsmack isn't considered metal but, I'll give it to ya.
@@Galactis1 Hard rock ???
@@Galactis1 they are considered Hard Rock/Metal. They are not considered Thrash Metal. Big difference.
@@Galactis1 I consider them alternative metal and that stays with me 🤘🏽
@@renzmetal6158 Sully said in a Metal Injection interview "we're not Metal we're a Hard Rock Band!!" So you can call them Metal if ya want, but they don't like being called Metal!!
I seen you guys in Tampa performing arts center an Wow BadAssGood thanks for the Adrenaline Vibes❤️
Some of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Monsters on stage!!
I've never had the opportunity to see them in concert & now I'm sad that I never will
No keep going on your albums man we love the group
Its sad to hear that from my absolute most favorite Band since I was a kid, but if someone earns Everything good in the world its this guys. So the only thing I can do here is to say Thank You for all the awesome years of mind blowing music :D
No wonder i been listening to the 1st album again. I have it from when it first came out in 1998. I love you so much Godsmack!!! ❤
Thanks Sully, you guys deserve to do whatever the hell you want. See ya in 20 years for the 401k tour! Another Boston guy.
Loved seeing you in concert
They deserve to explore and also take a ride back to the path that led them here. 🤘🏼
I enjoyed your music God Bless good luck on your next adventures in life
навсегда в наших сердцах!!
This band is just as or possibly more talented than most big names if you ask some people. This is not what most metal fans want to hear but will always support you. Your work is so appreciated and underrated.
