      Being lonely isn't that bad. The first 20 years are the worst but after that you get used to it and just stop caring. Been there, done that. One unforeseen benefit was that I've seen strong people snap during COVID lockdowns while it was just "business as usual" for me.

      ​​@@michellelambert6703that's so awesome!!! Music has been a huge part of my own life, ( I was lead guitarist of a band called immortal malice for 13 years,) and I did my best to pass that on to my children. My oldest especially took that ball and ran with it, playing multiple instruments, being in multiple school honors bands, and rising to drum major of her high school marching band. Next fall she'll join the marching band and the music program at the University of Nebraska.
      Seeing this brought tears to my eyes.
      Having met Sully way back in 2001, at Rockfest in Council Bluffs, Iowa, I know what a great guy he is. He stood there and talked to me for a good half hour like we were old friends, and became a huge inspiration for my own musical career, such that it was. I can only imagine what an experience this was for these kids. Something they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
      There needs to be so much more of this in the world. Thank you.

Overseas all through that being away from family and friends and the freedoms of home, i always kept this band in my headphones as they always to me represented best what we stand for and fought or fight for from this great country.... Honest to God being the caring such awesome people all those guys seem to be it truly didnt surprise me that they were the Band that could put something like that together and touch so many young people with an experience they will likely carry dear with them for the rest of their lives! My 3 year old son has been raised and can sing every word to every Godsmack song ever made. That is what this Band means to me and my household! This video genuinely moved me the first time i watched and every time since... Watching music bring people so diverse together is truly a beautiful thing and no surprise this band is one that did it..

      Sully doesn't believe in God he is Wiccan
      That actually surprised me 🤔
      I've been a fan from get.. I also relate to all of their songs in one way or another.
      This is the ONLY band that I really like AlLL of their music and words ..❤
      I recently found out that his religion is Wiccan because he did an interview a couple year's ago about metal music and the devil, he said in his Wiccan beliefs there is no devil because then there would HAVE to be a God..So he doesn't believe in either. It's more like this, the "good" hearted person puts out Love, understanding and kindness and therefore receives it back 3x (vise versa for bad) respect our planet ect.(some have different versions) I'm Irish and my ancestors believed in that as well (and the rest of them were Catholics)
      I still love the music and will always be a fan..I didn't get to see them live last year. I'm disabled, the venue was 4 hours away and the tickets were expensive (that's something that truly sucked for me)..I'm the 80's Rocker Chick..😎🤘🤎
      I DID however get to see Disturbed , Bad Wolves, and FFDP (the lead singer of Bad Wolves his back story has an incredible truth about his brother) He even has written a song about it, which must have been hard.💔
      Last, but definitely not least is 3DG and WOW. Matt does a great job with the Original Adam songs. I was extremely impressed and pleasantly surprised 👍❤ *I also have an amazing support system who helped me with $$$ to be able to go* Each venue whom ALL allowed me to be in the PIT with my son and sister (I would have had to sit alone) let me into the PIT area with my weelchair, my 13 yr old son & my awesome sister 👍❤ I had a handicap area seat and they had PIT because I would have NEVER thought they'd allow me in the pit because of my wheelchair. It definitely was extremely super cool of them 3DG actually were very helpful and also helped to make that happen 😎
      When Godsmack came to IL they didn't come anywhere near me. They played in Moline IL ( I would have had to get a hotel and the tickets were super expensive..😒💔) hopefully they will come back to IL and play at Tinley Park, Allstate arena or Peoria Civic Center..
      It's still far. I'd have to leave 1 day before and stay with my sister ( Which I did for the othert concerts but the tickets were reasonably priced and my sister lives near the venue) If it's Peoria it's only 2 hours away (hint, hint 😉) To ALL of my fellow brothers and sisters out there be safe, stay healthy. God bless ❤
      HELP each other out during this pandemic and trying times..****.especially our elderly, disabled, and youngsters in our neighborhoods and you can do that safely.

    I still watch the video and cry every time seeing these kids have the time of their lives. No matter what language you speak music is one language we all can understand. When the kid says music is the reason I am not lonely most days I can hear it in his voice. Still great full to SNHU for allowing them to film this video on their facility.

      Indeed. It does make sense that they are doing such things. Not to take away from everything else Erna and team have done in their careers but I heard last year Godsmack is no longer recording. They all are grown up and have families that needed them to retire. So with all the success the band has had and the likelihood they will retire, it's cool they are using their talents to teach future musicians how they did it, so that new generation can find their own art form.

      You're not alone brother. Every time I watch this video I feel a massive swell of love and respect. The sheer magnitude of bringing all these kids together to share one vision for a song is just amazing to watch happen. With everything going on in the world right now it hits me square in the feels to see an entire school break out in support of a doubtless Rock n Roll Hall of Fame rock band.

    I don’t even know what to say but as I’m watching this vid I realize that my eyes are welling up. I think it’s because of how much I love Godsmack & the fact that they pulled together this eclectic group of heavy metal loving kids & taught them this song. And then the kids get to display their talents next to this long time, amazing take no prisoners type band. Fantastic Sully. Go B’s

      If you listen closely, you can hear it all in this video. I'm a drummer and could hear it all. Theres a distinct difference between a sound coming out of a studio of one person playing and when you have multiple people playing the same instrument. It may sound like its one person but if you listen very closely..... its not. This group of kids did an awesome job!

Then in the early 2000's I'd see the whole band at the gym their good guys Sully almost shit when he saw how big I was cause he remembers me as that 10 year old watching them jam.

    As a disabled vet who has had over 9 surgeries for service connected injuries I've used music to inspire me to drive on and pick up my drum sticks again. I have no drum kit or trainer but I just play on my legs. The pain and bruising reminds me that I'm alive and makes me thrive to get a kit to play on eventually. Thank you to Godsmack for inspiring so many of us. You are loved.
