I'm glad the drummer decided to be faithful to Bonham's classic double strokes on the bass drum and did them on one foot. He could have just took the easy way out and used the double bass pedal, but he thankfully didn't.
It's not about who does it best, it's about keeping these great classic tracks alive. I love Zeppelin and i love Godsmack and both versions are worthy of their place in Rock's history
That's my point exactly f****** let's just hear all of all the verb mean s*** can't be a bad version out there unless it was me singing it while it's drunk. You know I mean, but I'd be really drunk before I'd be up there seeing it, but it'd be bad. Trust me
I must admit...This band does the song justice. This lead singer articulates all his words so clear cut that I actually heard the lyrics for the first time. This is the sign of an artist with a high level of confidence.... My sister bought Sullys home in NH. It was like an Arabian theme in the main room.... My brother in law lives there still.
I've heard arguments about Shannon's ability to play the drum parts with a single/double pedal, or whether the parts were dubbed...I played with Shannon in Wrathchild, and I can tell you he can do this in his sleep...he is a drum monster
+Michael Henz Agreed sir!!! To call Shannon a drum monster would actually be an understatement to say the least. So many uninformed and uneducated people who judge w/o even knowing what they are talking about.
Absolutely! As a drummer myself, it's actually almost trickier to do those triplets with two feet. It's a feel thing. I play this song in my band, and tried cheating and doing them double because I wasn't up to speed on single and it just comes easier actually doing it single. Idk why..
@@brucecamel7428 ~ Yes. Surprisingly, many Godsmack fans don't know that Sully is a master of the drum kit himself. Their drum battles (duets) are jaw dropping.
I used to blast this when I was caring for my grandmother before she transitioned to heaven! She hates loud rock music BUT LOVED THIS! She had Dementia in the end but we loved this! I love you Sully!!!! #BLACKGIRLSLOVEROCK!!!!!!!!
I am a die hard Zeppelin fan and I must say Godsmack sounds great.. I dont like any band that covers Zeppelin.. but Sully is so cool.. and the rest of the band is so talented.. I like it..
240 Robert Plant you're drunk they sound nothing like f****** Zeppelin try listening to Jason Bonham band lead singer Daniel macmaster that's as close as you'll ever get to Robert Plant
I was 17 when Led Zeppelin released this song. I cranked the hell out of it on my Sears stereo record player with the detachable speakers. My mother often yelling down to the basement with turn that down. Hah not likely! Now a whole lot of years later I stumbled on this version even though I had heard of Godsmack I had no idea. This kicks it hard! Turn that up! Yes Mom!
I like the band because they are "older" meaning they grew up in the period of time when great, legendary bands like Zeppelin,Stones, Rush, Pink Floyd, so many others that set the standard for what a concert should be like.
A fuk n jammm ..other wise knows as AFJ...one way to get over on the system is to ensure I post comments on threads...I promis both b commenting and liking changes the akgorythem😢 to s much more profit reliale monthly check. Please jus try it and see
It's important to keep an open mind, because by playing this song these guys are paying respect to a band they grew up listening to and love as much as you and me. Imagine them setting up in your living room for a party and playing it just like this...
since they kept the purity of the original in their cover it deserves respect... tired of bands rippin off classics... a new generation needs to know what music really is
I have seen godsmack so many times before they made it big..they were allways playing around Massachusetts..I been in bars were it was like 20 people watching..I allways knew they would make it...
Your music got me out of one tragedy and me and my daughter survived I'm hoping that'll get me out of this tragedy that we are in now and my daughter and my grandson yeah music does save lives I know this
Godsmack another kick ass group doing a great kick ass version to a great kick ass song from a great kick ass band. I love it godsmack and zep awesome!!!!
@@SullyErna-Godsmack yes sir I am. But I want you to know that I listen to your band a million times a day & your group is the best band in the world to me! Blessed be sir
I haven't heard much of Godsmack, I asked siri which album was the best, she said good times, bad times... ten years of Godsmack. I had no idea the first song was going to be a badass Zeppelin cover
Its an honor for a band to do a cover of another bands song. It just proves its a classic,naturally they’re gonna put their own twist & sound to it.🤘💀🤘
Just to settle the argument...I played with Shannon Larkin in Wrathchild...and I can tell you; he's using a single pedal, and he can play this song as well as Bonham on his best day. Shannon Larkin is a beast on drums... absolutely one of the best...a true professional...period
Just listened the new song by Godsmack and remembered this one. One of the best covers of Good Times, Bad Times. Did not remember this to be that old though.
I am a huge Zeppelin and Godsmack fan. Anyone that thinks that Led Zeppelin is somehow sacred and cannot be re-done needs to understand that they took from artists too. Some songs on the first album were written by Willie Dixon, an American blues singer. The Lemon Song is mostly borrowed from Killing Floor by Howlin' Wolf, and so on and so on. They basically got their sound from American delta blues. That's what musicians do, borrow, use for inspiration, cover, share. Any band is free to cover any band or song, period (with due royalties and all that crap). If you don't like it so be it but don't harp on some "how dare they" kind of mentality. Especially a kick ass band like Godsmack!!!
Really ernest you sounds like some fuck tard that knows nothing about great music such as god smack or led zepplin or ny true bands your probably some kid that thinks this new wtf ever u want to call it (music) that's fuckin fake ass want to be be rockers are putting out
The most stunning thing about the song (I'm talking about ''Led Zeppelin's version'', is Bonzo's amazing kick drum. It's superhuman when you realize he was not playing with double kick. That's one kick drum! That's when people started understanding what he was all about. Yup The Biggest Band In The World 1971-1975. Godsmack rocks!
Yes indeed. They did great, but it doesn't say (Cover) on the title above. I don't like that whoever did this should give credit to Zep where credit is due.
I love all these aspiring critics who probably don't even play an instrument want to argue about a fantastic drummers ability..I played with Shannon for years in Wrathchild so le's end the debate...he can play this song with a single pedal;as well as Bonham ever could...Shannon Larkin is a beast...one of the best...period
It’s funny because it’s a meme and in this case it’s true. The Og zeppelin version had a lot more cow bell. It was used in place of the high hat for most of the song.
Zeppelin was my fave. band in high school and early college, but come on guys and gals, this is a GREAT remake of "good times..." I love it, I think Robert, and Jimmy, and John Paul, and Mr. Bonham (if he were alive) are all proud of Sully and Godsmack for this remake...everyone in America (at least) is entitled to their own opinion...even if its wrong.
In the days of my youth I was told what it means to be a man And now I've reached that age, I try to do All those things the best I can No matter how I try, I find my way Into the same old jam Good Times, Bad Times You know I've had my share When a woman left home For a brown eyed man And I still don't seem to care Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be She only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me Swore that she would be all mine And love me till the end When I whispered in her ear I lost another friend, oh Good Times, Bad Times You know I've had my share When a woman left home For a brown eyed man And I still don't seem to care, yeah Good Times, Bad Times You know I've had my share When a woman left home For a brown eyed man And I still don't seem to care I know what it means to be alone I sure do wish that I was home And I don't care what my neighbors say I'm gonna love you, each and every day You can feel the heat within my heart Realize, sweet baby, we ain't never gonna part, oh yeah facebook.com/lvngubrthlss
I'm not a drummer, but from what I've seen and heard, an eight year old child could do the drum cover on this just as well. Upvote if you know who I'm talking about.
Robert, like the rest of the band improvised alot so he would change the melody slightly and sing random blues lyrics, which i like because it makes the live versions interesting to listen to. and Jimmy is god
Yeah, um, except for John Bonham, or Ginger Baker, or Neril Pert, or Buddy Rich, or Keith Moon. I mean he's one of the best newer drummers, but I'd say Danny Carey is still in front.
Michelle Whitaker The lyric is actually “for a brown eyed man” not better man, unless you’re referring to David personally. Otherwise, listen more carefully before you start correcting people.
Don't worry about the "haters" guys, just keep on doing what you're doing, right, like Pearl Jam, Metallica, and Mr. Osborne...not to compare u w/ them, but you guys rock...absolutely love "Keep Away..." I know it was '98, but I'm loving "Timebomb", "Situation", "Whatever", "Speak" and all that good ole' stuff all over again. Keep rockin" brothers. I will be there when u come to the ATL.
Not many bands have EVER been able to pull off a good sounding Led Zeppelin cover. Godsmack is the exception to this. NICE job, guys!
God Smack Rocks for eternity.
TOOL NO QUARTER
Yeah, good one😂
@@rustyramsey7845 tool huh did no quarter..😮
Godsmack was a Zeppelin cover band before they got famous if I’m not mistaken. I think I read that somewhere a long time ago
I'm glad the drummer decided to be faithful to Bonham's classic double strokes on the bass drum and did them on one foot. He could have just took the easy way out and used the double bass pedal, but he thankfully didn't.

Im a huge Zeppelin fan.. and i have to say this is one of the best covers ever!, way to go Godsmack!
Really gr8t cover
Ron Baran Garbage compared to the original imo.
Look up gruhaks cover, band from croatia and very awesome

just watch one of their live drum battles
@@brucecamel7428 ~ Yes. Surprisingly, many Godsmack fans don't know that Sully is a master of the drum kit himself. Their drum battles (duets) are jaw dropping.
Shannon Larkin is one the best drummers of all time, and sully can rock em out as well.
I used to blast this when I was caring for my grandmother before she transitioned to heaven! She hates loud rock music BUT LOVED THIS! She had Dementia in the end but we loved this! I love you Sully!!!!
#BLACKGIRLSLOVEROCK!!!!!!!!
Very sorry to hear about your gma, even these years later, but what a great memory to have! Good music knows no race 🤘🏻😎🤘🏿
Ha!!! Too cool , thanks for sharing.
I am a die hard Zeppelin fan and I must say Godsmack sounds great.. I dont like any band that covers Zeppelin.. but Sully is so cool.. and the rest of the band is so talented.. I like it..
Agree! SO good!
+bikeracer6045 yes I totally agree. awesome!
Jimmy and Tony are a couple of my favorite guitarists, you should hear their cover of Time by Pink Floyd, they nail Gilmour's sound just as well.
love led also but godsmack i have to say is the best rock band ever! and im a beetles fan! please metallica fans dont post!
i hate godsmack, but much respect!!!! very good, Sully!!!
This is one of the hardest drum riffs to play. he nailed it. Hats off. RESPECT.
this is one of the BEST covers of a led zeppelin song that i have heard in years , the only one right up there is hearts ROCK ON
Sully on fire
i love how they kept the song the way it originally was and didn't try to put extra lyrics in there godsmack 4 eva
I swear I can't hear a single Godsmack song without knowing EXACTLY what song they listened to before recording it.
2:40 I’ve heard Rob Plant’s voice I swear
Such a great work from Sully to hit this line in proper way
240 Robert Plant you're drunk they sound nothing like f****** Zeppelin try listening to Jason Bonham band lead singer Daniel macmaster that's as close as you'll ever get to Robert Plant
Drums, bass, vocals, guitar all on point. well done boys
I was 17 when Led Zeppelin released this song. I cranked the hell out of it on my Sears stereo record player with the detachable speakers.

I was 20 lol. LZ is my all time favorite band ever. This cover rocks my old bones like crazy!
YAH...
One of the best songs ever written.

The BEST Cover of this song EVER Made....
These beautiful cats NAILED IT!!It requires mighty big balls to cover The Zep but they delivered monumentally!!
Yeah amen brother I agree 👍
Godsmack has for real showed me what it means to be a man.
It's important to keep an open mind, because by playing this song these guys are paying respect to a band they grew up listening to and love as much as you and me. Imagine them setting up in your living room for a party and playing it just like this...
They do Come Together. And they kicked its Ass. Love this band.
yes yes kick ass
As a die hard Zeppelin fan this is one of the best covers of a zeppelin song i've heard.
since they kept the purity of the original in their cover it deserves respect... tired of bands rippin off classics... a new generation needs to know what music really is
Love this cover. Not many bands brave enough or good enough to take on the mighty Zepp. Awesome job!! Love you Sully!!
I loved his beats when he played with Ugly Kid Joe but playing with Godsmack brought out the beast in him. Hes the best of all time in my book.
This is actually my first time listening to Godsmack, I gotta admit, this is a great cover. I'm so glad Led Zeppelin is still alive.
grew up with Zepp but if we have to pass the torch Godsmack would be my choice. good job with the song.
I loved this song since for 40 years now , and these guys did Zep loud &proud
It must feel good to be the only Godsmack fan on this lonely island that makes up the western hemisphere. Hahaha, good luck with that.
Still jammin' to this song and all there others in 2023..GODSMACK one of the best there is..
I have seen godsmack so many times before they made it big..they were allways playing around Massachusetts..I been in bars were it was like 20 people watching..I allways knew they would make it...
Your music got me out of one tragedy and me and my daughter survived I'm hoping that'll get me out of this tragedy that we are in now and my daughter and my grandson yeah music does save lives I know this
Hope you are doing OK..
Keep Fighting
best cover in the world
I don't like artists remaking classic songs. There are just a few remade songs I like, this is one of them. Great job!!
Indeed.. use to watch you guys at Tiger's in Clifton Park.. He is a gifted musician and amazing drummer ♡
Godsmack another kick ass group doing a great kick ass version to a great kick ass song from a great kick ass band. I love it godsmack and zep awesome!!!!
very considerate to give the children headphones.proves that not all rockstar are badass .
Love Godsmack! They are the greatest group!
Hello dear, how are you doing today? It's nice meeting you on here.
@@SullyErna-Godsmack I absolutely love you guys! I've listened to your band religiously since the day you released your first album!
@@realrock6002 That's nice of you, I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right.
@@SullyErna-Godsmack yes sir I am. But I want you to know that I listen to your band a million times a day & your group is the best band in the world to me! Blessed be sir
@@realrock6002 That's nice of you. So where are you writing from actually?
I haven't heard much of Godsmack, I asked siri which album was the best, she said good times, bad times... ten years of Godsmack.
I had no idea the first song was going to be a badass Zeppelin cover
Life long Zep fan here, but... gotta say. I like this version better!
the drummer is Shannon Larkin...we shared the stage in a band called Wrathchild...he is absolutely one of the best in the business
Godsmack is such a talented band
Its an honor for a band to do a cover of another bands song. It just proves its a classic,naturally they’re gonna put their own twist & sound to it.🤘💀🤘
GOTTA RESPECT TWO GREAT BANDS IN ONE
Just to settle the argument...I played with Shannon Larkin in Wrathchild...and I can tell you; he's using a single pedal, and he can play this song as well as Bonham on his best day. Shannon Larkin is a beast on drums... absolutely one of the best...a true professional...period
Always appreciate bands trying to cover Zeppelin because it is striving to improve perfection. Like the way these guys did it.
Just listened the new song by Godsmack and remembered this one.
One of the best covers of Good Times, Bad Times.
Did not remember this to be that old though.
As A Zeppelin Fan, I loved this
What an Awesome cover of The Mighty Zep, Sully & Co. knock it outta the park !
My new Favorite band!!! Godsmack RULES!!!
Awesome! Hope you listen to all their albums. They make killer ones. Been a fan since 2004
Hey Sully, could you maybe bring the guys back to Lexington? You guys totally rocked the roof off at Rupp Arena in the Spring!!

Ernest Hutchinson They can be, just not by shitty bands like Godsmack.
White - Wolf 14 - 88 Jesus dude relax you're gonna have a brain aneurysm.
Really ernest you sounds like some fuck tard that knows nothing about great music such as god smack or led zepplin or ny true bands your probably some kid that thinks this new wtf ever u want to call it (music) that's fuckin fake ass want to be be rockers are putting out
Ernest Hutchinson I'm fine with borrowing inspiration and covering songs.
This isn't a great cover though. Not nearly as good as the original.
Ernest Hutchinson bingo you nailed it and HAHD!!!! yes im from bawston
The most stunning thing about the song (I'm talking about ''Led Zeppelin's version'', is Bonzo's amazing kick drum. It's superhuman when you realize he was not playing with double kick.

Godsmack rocks!
Props to the drummer for only using one pedal on all of those Bonham-style bass doublets.
godsmack made the song a lot better! and that's how you cover a song.
Anybody who can cover Led zeppelin gets some serious respect. Godsmack is just that incredible.
Yes indeed. They did great, but it doesn't say (Cover) on the title above. I don't like that whoever did this should give credit to Zep where credit is due.
Best cover ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they did a dmn good job with this cover :D
this song is waaaay better with decent vocals!
This is a REALLY good Led Zeppelin cover, Godsmack fan or not. Dont argue it guys haha
agreed!
I love all these aspiring critics who probably don't even play an instrument want to argue about a fantastic drummers ability..I played with Shannon for years in Wrathchild so le's end the debate...he can play this song with a single pedal;as well as Bonham ever could...Shannon Larkin is a beast...one of the best...period
Needs More Cowbell.
Very funny.
That cracked me up... I remember that skit from SNL. I'd bet these guys would nail Fear the Reaper.
It’s funny because it’s a meme and in this case it’s true. The Og zeppelin version had a lot more cow bell. It was used in place of the high hat for most of the song.

I didn't know what to expect from this cover but I was pleasantly surprised
I didn't even know this was a cover. Well, looks like I'll have to check out Zeppelins version!
you should definitely check Led Zeppelin.
Is there any thing that Godsmack can not do musically??? When I say talent. I mean it....TALENT AT IT'S BEST...
Hello dear, how are you doing today? It's nice meeting you on here
In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
And now I've reached that age, I try to do
All those things the best I can
No matter how I try, I find my way
Into the same old jam
Good Times, Bad Times
You know I've had my share
When a woman left home
For a brown eyed man
And I still don't seem to care
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
She only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me
Swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end
When I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend, oh
Good Times, Bad Times
You know I've had my share
When a woman left home
For a brown eyed man
And I still don't seem to care, yeah
Good Times, Bad Times
You know I've had my share
When a woman left home
For a brown eyed man
And I still don't seem to care
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish that I was home
And I don't care what my neighbors say
I'm gonna love you, each and every day
You can feel the heat within my heart
Realize, sweet baby, we ain't never gonna part, oh yeah

cool
Fact is this is a great cover even if it is not as good as the original, its meant to sound like Godsmack.
I'm not a drummer, but from what I've seen and heard, an eight year old child could do the drum cover on this just as well. Upvote if you know who I'm talking about.
Yes, Yoyoka is insanely good. Clearly she isn't nearly Shannon Larkin good...yet...but she is getting there, no doubt.
Yes she's Japanese and was 8yo when her dad posted a video of her doing this.....and she kicked the skin off her drums !
they probably are this generations Zepp. i would say . ppl will listen to godsmack 30 years from now too.
godsmack kills it again! badass!
Godsmack Kills it again! Still a Badass Post-grunge band
Shannon was a beast 23 years ago playing with Wrathchild and still is today!! Trust me he does not need a double pedal!!
Classic Rock + Modern Metal Bands = Win
Did you meant "Hard Rock"?
Usually don't think Zep is a band you could cover, but wow, that guitar and bass is so on the money. Great job boys \m/
huge fan of Zeppelin, Godsmack did a awesome cover!!!
ME TOO! I THINK GODSMACK DID A WONDERFUL UJOB ON THIS COVER! LED TILL I'M DEAD!
This is my new "feel good video". This is just what i needed to start my crappy weekend in the tree business. Thanks Godsmack:)
How are the trees doing now?
@@whomstami7365 that was a long time ago lol. I’ve moved onto a different “tree” now. And these trees are 🔥💨🔥💨🔥 lol
Larkin nails it on this song
And on one foot...as it should be
Excellent cover! - I also don´t care what my neighbor says!:)
Ha yeah 😅
Robert, like the rest of the band improvised alot so he would change the melody slightly and sing random blues lyrics, which i like because it makes the live versions interesting to listen to. and Jimmy is god
I just love how a band can take a song from original band like this one Led Zeppelin and give it justice
Hello dear, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here
this band is ssssssssooooooooo bad ass that it could do any thing they wanted
I must say I'm impressed! This is a great cover!!!!
one of the best covers
Shannon Larkin...greatest drummer of all time!
Yeah, um, except for John Bonham, or Ginger Baker, or Neril Pert, or Buddy Rich, or Keith Moon. I mean he's one of the best newer drummers, but I'd say Danny Carey is still in front.
That fucking double tap is the shit
I love this cover!!
I'll be honest I prefer Godsmack's covers over their originals for the most part.
Such a damn good cover.
can't touch these guys...unstoppable.
2023 aqui ouvindo,do Rio de Janeiro,🇧🇷✌.
Godsmack is right up there with zep.
This statement is an abomination
"My woman left home for a brown eyed man but I still dont seem to care!"
Didn't give a damn...see ya!
For a better man. Not a brown eyes man. Sorry to hurt you on that.
Michelle Whitaker The lyric is actually “for a brown eyed man” not better man, unless you’re referring to David personally. Otherwise, listen more carefully before you start correcting people.
Just on thing BOSTON RULEZ!!!!
Great song great video!
Don't worry about the "haters" guys, just keep on doing what you're doing, right, like Pearl Jam, Metallica, and Mr. Osborne...not to compare u w/ them, but you guys rock...absolutely love "Keep Away..."
