First Time Hearing GODSMACK! Vocal ANALYSIS of "I Stand Alone"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2023
- I remember in my interview with Brent Smith of Shinedown that he was close friends of Sully from Godsmack, and I should give them a listen. And I didn't listen. A lot of time has passed, and I finally decided to take the plunge and hear what I was missing out on. And I was missing out on A LOT!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Godsmack for the first time, performing "I Stand Alone”.

if you're gonna do Godsmack from a vocal perspective, you really oughta listen to "Voodoo".
1998, I was sixteen and in a weird mood, I ripped Voodoo off my CD, extracted the intro part up to "...don't remember why I came" until juuust before the *ting* with whatever software we used like Audacity before Audacity. it's like 17 seconds. I dropped that file in Winamp and listened to it on repeat for four hours while playing through Quake (with the music off and the sound effects low). I thought for sure I would never be able to hear that song again afterwards, but nah, still like it to this day. and had a very memorable gaming experience into the bargain.
"Keep away"
I came to say this!!! 💯❤️ VooDoo is my all time favorite. I named one of my tarantulas Voodoo after the song 😊
I have heard this a lot. We'll see if it has the top votes in this video!
Check out "Higher" by Creed.@@TheCharismaticVoice
"Hollow" "Serenity" "VooDoo" and "Under Your Scars" are great examples of Sully's vocals. Slso, "Unforgettable". PLEASE keep diving in the Godsmack pool!
Serenity is probably my favorite song by them, listen to it often. Especially when I’m stressed
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep diving into Godsmack
the video to unforgettable is really inspiring and beautiful
Serenity is by far his best sung song
Can't believe nobody mentions "Touché". Such a great example!
My favorite Godsmack song! This was also the theme song to the game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. It was used pretty frequently and the game conditioned you very early on to run like hell any time you heard this riff, because it meant this monster that pursued you would instantly kill you if you weren't fast enough to escape.
It's use in Warrior Within, as an instrumental remix almost, really added to the tension of those sequences.
Dahaka music 😁
Sully plays guitar, piano and drums. I think his experience with the instruments adds to his vocal skills. Also, please check out Voodoo and Under Your Scars.
Yes..I forgot he plays piano too. Saw them in concert and Sully did this amazing drum solo. Awesome band!
I remember seeing them live when he opened for Metallica, a long time ago. Played every instrument, it was pretty impressive.
Under your scars is soo good, the video is must see also
I saw them play in 2003 and sully played an entire drum solo halfway through voodoo.
I think another great example of his vocal ability is the song Serenity
Godsmack. less popular but one of my favorite band when i was in highschool. Blasting the song VOODOO in a loop on the school bus on my old mp3 was fire!
Voodoo was my shit!
Yea, Voodoo is my go-to for them
voodoo is their best imo.
Same but I was in 5th grade when it came out so I was blasting that heading to elementary school
You really just put me on the bus when you said that haha I was spinnin the CD in a walkman
Hi Elizabeth, a huuuge Godsmack fan here. I highly recommend checking out Sully Erna's work outside of the band, it's a lot more diverse and intricate. His performance of 7 Years off the Avalon album would be an amazing place to start and would be a great way for you to not only analize Sully's vocals but also get an introduction into Lisa Guyer who is a phenomenal and a criminally underappreciated singer.
Guys, if anyone wants that, too, please upvote so Elizabeth sees this 😄
I think for balance, Under Your Scars, and Broken Road, although Until Then would probably be well-appreciated for the Cello.
Under your scars is a must
100 % True !!!
YEEEEEES!!! Totally agree! I saw Sully and Lisa live, and THAT was a masterpiece !
@@Flortee Same, saw them in St. Petersburg a few years ago. They were drunk off their asses and still gave one hell of a show :D
Sully’s solo acoustic album “Avalon” is quite the departure from what fans are used to.
And it’s beautiful.
Especially with him paired to vocalist Lisa Guyer. She’s an absolute siren ❤️❤️
My personal favourite back in the days by Godsmack was "Keep Away". Groovy, catchy, greate guitar solo and amazing vocals. Can't believe it's been over 25 years.
I’m in the UK and used to watch the X-Games live on satellite TV in the late 90s. This band came on with this groove and freaky sound and I found out it was this band called Godsmack and the song was Whatever. I was hooked from then and I was so glad when they came to the Uk as a support band playing at Wembley (I honestly can’t remember who it was) and they were incredible live!!
Voodoo is BY FAR my favorite song by them there are some impressive vocals and breath control in it
Voodoo, followed closely by Under Your Scars, which I think Elizabeth would really appreciate because of the piano.
I liked them alot in high school too. The groove in "Go Away" got me so hyped up
Oh man, I can't wait for you to eventually listen to Awake and Voodoo.
Vooooodoooo. YES
I wanted to put in a vote for Voodoo too.
Voodoo and voodoo too
Same!
Sleep would be a better showcase of the vocal aspect imo.
A really underrated Godsmack song with great vocals is "Running Blind". It's an acoustic track, so there's minimal editing, and Sully sounds great in it. A really smooth, solid track.
I agree. Running Blind is one of my favorite Godsmack songs
@@mikemiller7917 amen brother, good stuff right there
Came here to say this. This entire acoustic album is great. Lucky enough to see a full acoustic concert!
Oh yeah. Also, off their acoustic album 'Spiral'. It has an electric version, but the acoustic has a strange power coming through as well. Great album, great band.
I think Releasing the Demons is one of the most underrated Godsmack songs
Just saw them in concert. No tricks all talent! Sully is the consummate front man. Amazing voice combined with a huge stage presence. Thank you.
I think Voodoo by God Smack is probably the best thematically accurate song I have ever heard. Some music tries to convey some kind of theme with the sound and Voodoo just absolutely nails it. Fun story: my mother in her 50s back 20 years ago wasn't a big fan of my rock taste in music, but Voodoo? She was all about that song.
Elizabeth getting Godsmacked listening to Godsmack. Always a fun time for our Metal Girl.
Re-align is my favorite Godsmack song 🔥
The instrumental of this song was in my favorite video game growing up: Prince of Persia. My dad and I used to stay up late playing that game together, great memories.
That game had an awesome soundtrack.
Sully is one of those rare instances where his live vocal sounds much like his studio vocal.
100% Saw them just prior to the Covid shutdown for the first time even though I’ve been a fan for years! You nailed it. He did sound so good, similar to the studio vocal but so much better.
Such an incredible talent.
Godsmack sound so much better live than they do recorded
That's what shocked me too. He sounded the same live as on the CD
Sully sounded so so amazing live.
Their self titled album was pure adrenaline. Moon Baby, Keep Away, Time Bomb all smacked you in the face hard.
Absolutely, empowered by 3sec anti skip, I banged this through my JVC wire headphones, warming up before each wrestling match in High school. Good times
I have been WAITING SO PATIENTLY for you to cover Godsmack. I am so happy. His voice has so much punch and drive and a commanding presence live.
His voice and the dissonance he can produce has the power to make your soul shiver.
I know you’re a huge advocate for mental well-being...Godsmack has a song called “ Under your scars” to remind everyone they’re perfectly imperfect. They (Godsmack) and Sully Erna started the “ Scars Foundation” for mental health. That song seems to have a lot of aspects you love as well....piano, orchestra etc...and shows a different side of his vocals. A lot of others are recommending “ Voodoo”...which is also great. I personally would do “ My Light” written about his daughter. It’s his Solo stuff, but showcases a lot of his diversity.
Sully is stunning in this tune❤❤❤❤
Nice liz!!😊
Came here to mention this. 🎉
definitely an amazing song that, and can be seen in man ways of acceptance. Love it,
+1 for *Under Your Scars*
I find Sully often has an almost monotone style, he does accent it, but anytime you hear his voice it is instantly recognizeable as Sully, yet he has an ability to make it so no songs sound alike. If you want to hear more of his singing voice with less grit I would recommend "under your scars by Godsmack" or "7 Years, from Sully Erna's solo album Avalon which also features excellent vocals by Lisa Guyer"
One of the best performer vocalist ever. "I Fucking Hate You", "Voodoo", "Straight out of Line" or "Running Blind". Sully voice so versatile I immediately fell in love with his tone the first time I heard it. This guy is so unique, talented and kind !
I remember getting into godsmack in middle school because of Prince of Persia Warrior Within, bought their second album & listened to it on the bus for months 😊
Please please PLEASE listen to Voodoo from Godsmack!! And I would LOVE to see your reaction to "Not Strong Enough" by Apocalyptica with Brent Smith...such an amazing showcase for his beautiful voice
“Under Your Scars” showcases his range well. Great and emotional song. Check it out.
I just saw Godsmack a few months a go and 20 years later he still sounds just as Amazing🙉
He sounds just as good live. One of the very best!
Godsmack was my introduction into hard rock… Sullys voice lives still in my heart! I love it the most in ‚serenity‘ or ‚voodoo‘ ❤❤
You should see them live. They often have dueling drumsets on stage.
New album has those elements from their debut album. Phenomenal band!
Saw them over 20 years ago in Tulsa and was blown away at his live sound
Elizabeth would love the live version of Serenity. It's beautiful.
I think ‘Under Your Scars’ would be a great song for a reaction. It’s Sully sitting at a piano belting out a beautiful song with amazing lyrics!
I agree!
That song and his solo until then are both amazing
Yes, Under Your Scars compared to something like this.
One of my favorite bands, saw them live twice...incredible shows. Sully's solo projects are amazing, especially the live version of Until Then.
Before I watch the video, thanks for giving these guys some time in the light. Despite their commercial success, I feel they often don’t get the recognition the deserve.
To answer your question, in my opinion, Sully’s voice has a lot of rage behind it. You can often feel his anger crashing through his vocals, especially in the first two albums. This song is no exception.
If you want a super heartfelt Godsmack song I would recommend Under Your Scars! It's an absolute gem!
I 100% second this. Find the piano live version from their last tour. It touched my soul seeing it live.
Incredibly powerful song
You should definitely check out "Under Your Scars." It shows off Sully's cleaner side of his voice a lot more, and it's a beautiful song. Also, their drummer, Shannon Larkin, is a BEAST.
IMHO this is hands down their best song.
So jazzed you finally covered my all-time favorite song from my all-time favorite band! Godsmack's "Faceless" album was what got me through a very bad high school life. I was fortunate enough to see them live in concert back for my 31st birthday in 2018 and had bought myself a VIP meet-and-greet to see them. Got my picture taken with Sully, Tony, Robbie, and Shannon. Won't ever forget it!
Everyone is talking about "Voodoo" and checking that song out, but don't forget "Voodoo Too"!
Was lucky enough to see them live right around when this song was out…Really great live imo and the early songs were DEF the best!!❤️
Sully is actually a drummer first and a vocalist second. However as the lead singer of Godsmack he does play guitar too, he has that tone of grit and power but he also has a very melodic and tender voice, very recognizable
I would hope that you check more out, this band is great and he’s very versatile and I think you could grow to appreciate him
Yes! There's no vocals but a live batalla de los tambores reaction would be great!
yeah so true. Sully is such a great musician. He'll even drum in a live setting; i've personally seen it and he's solid
Sully is also a percussionist there is a drum battle video between Sully and Godsmack's drummer. the band also all switch instruments in concert.
The Rio version of the drum battle is unforgettable. If a person doesn't really get excited about drumming, that video will make them want to learn.
Fun to watch reactions to that battle by people who teach percussion!
Sully/Godsmack is and has been one of my favorite artists/bands since their 1st release. Sully in particular is as you mentioned a very talented multi-instrumentalist (guitar, drums, piano, harmonica, etc.) he does rock, blues, acoustic all extremely well with varying styles. Definitely an artist worth your time to explore more
I can't believe no one has recommended through the fire and flames yet that is one hell of a ride that I think you will like
Love your vids btw
I love Godsmack. Hard to pick favorites, but I really like Re-align and Serenity. If you want to hear something a little different than their usual, Serenity has a unique vibe instrumentally.
Aww man serenity I think would be a better song to analyze than voodoo.
@@Charles-sy7ej Yeah, it definitely showcases a different vocal and instrumental style than their typical style. I love it all though.
Serenity is a must listen
I forgot all about Serenity! That's a GREAT song to see her reaction to!
Maybe we can out beat the algorithm for the top comment if enough replies are made to this comment 🤣
"Under your scars" is probably the best song to listen to if you want to hear Sullys voice without all the gravel and the distorter he likes to sing into. I've seen these guys in concert several times and always leave hyped. They have amazing stage presence, especially when they do their legendary drum battle.
That drum battle was the completely unexpected to me when I saw them back in 2005, and it was great.
Same. It made me an instant fan and I started buying albums. I saw them as opener to I think motley crew.
Under your scars is the best one to react next if you want to have a different side of Sully's voice! Such a great song too
His grit is the passion he puts into it
This man gets it.
It's not super complex, it's not super pseudo-intellectual, you don't need a double +10 +5 roll on a d20 to decipher the lyrics or the mood behind it... sometimes it just has to be metal, nothing more 🤘
This was the first actual metal band I listened to as a boy in high school... I was able to understand him from day one! Cheap headphones from CVS and all.
I can't tell you how much i love Godsmack and this is the reason why
Got some moose nuts comin up in here with that 🤣 I’ll give you that
Perfectly said 💪
That's crazy because Godsmack is hard rock, not metal, and there's no reason you wouldn't be able to understand him....because he's not screaming.
@@towerofresonance4877
Sully does play guitar and drums as well. I've seen them multiple times live. They're my favorite hard rock band. I'd like to hear you break down Hollow or Temptation
Hollow! Yes! Amazing song.
Thanks for finally doing some Godsmack. Much appreciated. 😁
Sully is one of my favorite vocalists of all time! to have never heard his voice before, I cannot wait to see you listen to more!
You should check out Unforgettable from these guys. Not only is a great song, but the guys teach it to dozens and dozens of school aged kids who play it together in an area.
That one and "Under Your Scars"
Both of these definitely!!!
Yes, unforgettable is awesome.
I totally agree. I have been waiting for you to discover Godsmack for so long. I think you will love the Unforgettable video. I have watched it over a hundred times and i get goose bumps every time.
@@DougS4444 Such an inspiring video! Hope some of those kids take that and run with it, and become musicians themselves.
Godsmack is my favorite band of all time. I've seen them live a few times. I grew up on them. Under your scars is a great one to react to
Saw GS in concert just last year
Dude sounds as awesome as ever
I can't believe they are going to retire from making new music.
Dark and smooth with angry and light hearted sounds, growls and power all combined for Sully’s voice
Voodoo would be an awesome song for you to analyze from Godsmack. Dark, moody song with Sully singing throughout.
Love your work!
You should try Voodoo next. It's the perfect way to experience his voice and a song I've grown up with.
Love Hate Sex Pain is also a great song, one of their more melodic ones.
Always been my favorite band . Sully my fav voice . His vocals have aged like fine wine through the years .
Sully plays several instruments. Guitar, piano, drums. They had a literal 10-minute drum duel on stage at the last show I went to. This song was the encore, and even with only 5000 people in the house we were screaming that chorus louder than they were playing. Fantastic band, fantastic song, and they put on a hell of a show. See them if you get the opportunity.
Sully did a solo project and you get a much better feel for the nuance in his voice. I might recommend taking a listen to a song called 7 Years from that. Phenomenal song all the way around from that entire crew. You'll really appreciate the instrumentation on it as well, super solid. Yeah for the cello!
Seeing Sully at The Bogota in Atlantic City for the Avalon Tour was one of my favorite concert experiences.
Until then off that album might be a good choice as well
Sully and Dave Grohl are truly a gift!!!
The live video for this song is fantastic. Elizabeth should do that version!
Until then is my favorite solo such a great song!! Hes such an amazing musician
You have to give Under Your Scars a listen. His voice is amazing in it. Really powerful song.
Thats their first and only ballad I think
100% agree! That song is awesome!
@NovaVesperia thank you. It is indeed. One of my favorites 😁
I adore Godsmack. They make hard hitting songs about some really good subjects. And yes, his voice is powerful 😅 They're so good.
Fun fact -- Sully Erna is a practicing Wiccan.
Under Your Scars if your looking at Godsmack. Damm song gets me in tears everytime!!
Voodoo is another great one. And one of Sully's favorites. I know you have a long list of songs already. But maybe one day 😁 Also hopeing to see a tea time with Sully.
Finally! Their first 3 albums were the soundtrack of my teen years. I've seen them live 3 times and each show was amazing! Sully is an amazing musician and vocalist. In concert, he comes rolling out on a drum set of his own and will perform with/battle drummer Shannon Larkin(ex drummer Tommy is seen in the I Stand Alone video). This has been named Batalla de los Tambores and is a staple in their live performances. The band does a lot of community work and have also opened a charity called The Scars Foundation to help raise awareness for mental health issues.
To hear a different side of Sully, I highly recommend checking out his solo Avalon album. He brings in Lisa Guyer on vocals as well. The video for the song '7 Years' can be found on his channel. Their voices harmonize perfectly and it is a must listen imo haha!!
Uh huh! And the video for "My Light" is bananas awesome, too! Totally resonated with me as a father-to-a-daughter. *high-fives*
I just mentioned 7 Years before I rolled down and found your post. You have great taste in music my friend!😂
I've seen them live several times and that drum battle (as a percussion junkie) is EPIC!!
After they got big, I got to see them play the Orpheum Theater in Boston. It was such a great show.
First 3 albums along with Disturbed's first three where teen molding for me!
Under your scars is amazing, and he's playing the piano as well.
Mu all time favorite dude gives me chills every time his voice is amazing
Hey Liz. This is definetely a great song by Godsmack, but you should take a listen to "Under Your Scars" - it's a really moving track and video.
Man this is already 20+ years old, way to go making me feel older! 😅
Blasted this a lot back when it came out, I remember seeing a great live performance of it as well!
Bro I know😂, heard it roll thru my spotify the other day, I was a kid when this was made and now I'm in my 30s, I feel that in my elbows and heart now😂😂🤣
Lol... don't get me started...these songs age us like nothing else...my joints hurt just listening to this...lol
@christophersantiago445 it happens, I was in the mosh pits at Blue ridge this year, focal pit being for upon a burning body and I had to stretch liberally beforehand😂
@@wellthatsjustpeachy90 lol...such is life...
I am so excited seeing this! THANK YOU! Been waiting for you to do Godsmack FOREVER!
Just saw Godsmack at aftershock in October. Still kicking ass
I've been a fan of Godsmack since I first heard 'Vampires', I highly recommend that you analyse 'Voodoo' next it's quite different from this and shows more of his range, Elizabeth. Others tracks which are also good, 'Awake' and 'Realign', and 'Unforgettable' I think that you'll really love.
Yea, Vampires is highly underrated.
@@marquislexil I agree, it should be better known. They're such a great band overall. I hope that Elizabeth does more of them.
Loved your reaction. I really enjoy Godsmack, and listenting your input about its enlightnening and fun. I suggest "Under your scars" its more of a balad that straight up metal and Sully`s vocals are different than his usual. should be fun.
VOLBEAT PLEASE- such a unique rock vocal, I’ve always been curious about the vocal technique. “The devil’s bleeding crown. “is probably the best place to start.
OMG! This is my favourite band!
And Straight out of line! - this is the first song I've heard from them and still my favourite...
Please please please do the VID with this Song (Straight out of line) tooooooo
I'll never forget their track "Time Bomb". Godsmack often gets joked about for always sounding the same, but I've always enjoyed what they do so what does it matter?
YES, Sully is one of the GREAT hard rock voices. would love to see more Godsmack, especially the acoustic set they did
These guys were amazing live I loved sully especially with him bringing me out a second drum set and playing covers with there drummer it’s was so cool
8:03 Multi-instrumentalist, yes. If I'm not mistaken, his first big professional step was as the drummer for Meliah Rage. The first Godsmack album was written and performed mostly by him alone. He has musical talent, but that is completely eclipsed by his drive. Godsmack is known for simple melodies and basic aggressive riffs, delivered with that big 90s wall of sound production.
Oh WOW!! You should really check out Sully's solo albums, Avalon and Hometown Life! Those are both just beautiful to listen to! Soulful and gritty is exactly how to described Sully's voice
Awesome. Love this band. My two other favourites are "straight out of line" and one where he really does incredible stuff with his voice, "keep away".
Mine is either Spiral or Forgive Me though I Am is my favorite lyrically
@@DeadpoolX9 I have some homework to do it seems, thanks for the recommendations 🤟
My favorite band, hands down. So glad you finally gave them a listen. Seen them in person many times and they never disappoint
Saw them for my 3rd time last night 4/6/2024 Arizona Bike Week! First time I saw Godsmack was in 1999 with 3 doors down and Stone Temple Pilots in IOWA, SULLY came out in a damn karate GI. I must say they have improved a lot since 1999. SULLY is so amazing and the amount of instruments this guy can play, piano, keyboard, guitar, and he is an AMAZING Drummer, watch Godsmack drumbattle :). BTW he is now 56 years old and still looks and sounds great!
Nice song choice. This may have been the first Godsmack song I ever heard in the early 2000s. Has to be one of their heaviest.
Sully plays all the instruments. In the live show he does guitar, drums, piano... sometimes bongos... he is insanely talented. His dueling drums with Shannon is just epic. Fund the live video
Their dueling drums was the most memorable part, when I saw them open for Metallica
I have seen them numerous times, and that drum duel is always my favorite part. Godsmack absolutely rocks hard in every way.
I knew him when all he did was play drums for Stripmind..
There's a few videos on UA-cam. Bastard rocks
I’m so glad you are finally doing Godsmack! They are my favorite band! I just saw them for the first time about a month ago! I would recommend listening to “Awake” due to you liking him bouncing back and forth between different voices. In all reality you can’t go wrong with a Godsmack song! WE NEED MORE!
Yay! So glad to hear your take on Sully! Also, that cool sound you heard at the end is part of a technique Sully can do exceptionally well to the point that he can make a guitar “talk” to the point you can hear what sound like words coming from it. He does it at live shows, it’s really cool.
Love these guys. Grew up listening to this song. Under your scars is a great one - shows off his regular singing.
Saw them last year live in Cologne. Sully Erna has such an amazing voice. Check out their song "Under your scars", in my opinion and as someone dealing with depressions, one of their best and deepest songs ❤ and I've seen grown men cry when Sully gets to that piano to perform the song 😢❤
I remember hearing an interview on Sirius, I think it was for Lady Gaga. Don't hold me to it though.
I would so dig meeting you and talking music with you!I have played metal through the Midwest and east coast since I was 17(1990).I feel like I would learn so much from you!I love Godsmack and have seen all their tours xcept 1!thank you so much for your show !I totally dig it!😊take care
I've been waiting for you to get to Sully! Please do more on Godsmack. He's got such a diverse voice and so many songs showcase this diversity. Many have recommended some great ones below. This band is one of my favorites and I'm so happy you are getting to see how awesome Sully's voice is.
your emotional breakdown always has me coming back to your channel and has me feeling the song along with you.
As much as I love this song, and many others by GODSMACK, I would have really liked to hear the analysis of "Voodoo" or "Awake".
Amazing to see you pick up on Godsmack. You chose a good song to start on and I would suggest Voodoo for a slightly slower take of a song from Sully. Most all of their music is amazing (I own most of their albums, but not all of them).
After such a long time of listeninf to your analysis, I have to say, I love every single detail you pick on. It's really helpfull for other musicians. And I don't know why, but you cover all my most favourite bands. There's so much to this band... Voodoo, changes, Keep Away ect. But you're really amazing with analyzing. Thank you! ❤
Btw... your expressions, laughting whenever single detail, breakdown, pitch change, anything happens... I just see myself inside your expressions. The tongue sticked out, It's so great! I love you! Platonicaly and musicaly! Keep on an amazing work!
Serenity and re-align are others that showcase his voice
As both a classically trained vocalist and a semi-professional amateur metal singer (mostly death metal), I love your breakdowns of some of my favorite music. I am grateful for my classical training in that I totally understand you as you break down the theory and methods. As a metal vocalist I can say that we don't always think things out and just feel the music and do what fits.I am a 90's kid, and this is my high school musical experience. I love that you love music for what it is, and you truly listen. I am thankful that you exist because you enrich my life.
I love this band so much. They don't get as much attention as bands like SOAD or Disturbed, but they were just a big when I was in school. Try the songs "Serenity", "Re-Align" or "Straight Out of Line" next. All are great songs
They're still doing pretty well for themselves, though. They can pack 8,000+ seat arenas no problem, and still get new songs played on radio. Not bad considering that the whole nu-metal/post-grunge trend largely went out of fashion over 10 years, they held up far better than most of their peers.
All the rock/metal heads at my school were into them
We were in Calcutta though
Hi...this channel is fricken awesome..I am a loyal godsmack fan, have been their entire epic career. Your analysis of Sully ( in my opinion) and his music is spot on. I can't wait to watch your show again!
Love your reaction to this, Sully is top reason I ever wanted to sing.
I'm so chuffed Godsmack are on here!! My friend and I were Goths/Metalheads in out teen years and we used to sing Godsmack in opera voices because it sounded like it could be opera 😂 So many of their songs just sounded hilarious in opera style. Every time they come up on my playlists, it brings back so many fun memories and of course, I have to sing them in opera style 😂
As many others have already recommended, "Voodoo" and "Serenity" are amazing! 🙌🖤🙏 Would LOVE to see you analyze one of these two next.
Happy to see you listen to Godsmack and discover yet another awesome metal band for the first time! 🤗 Their music is so much fun to me.
The power in his voice I always believed to be his overall presence
Voodoo has a wonderful tribal vibe to it and was one of my club's favorites to dance too
