the song on alice in chains album dirt is wrote: god smack and the bands name is spelled godsmack so really godsmack isnt after alice in chains. but i know they were very inspired by them
Godsmack's name isn't inspired by AIC... Sully Erna said in an interview that one day he's making fun a someone who had cold sores and the next day, he'd a similar injury... To which someone said "It's a godsmack". And so the name stuck...
@7maxo7 their name was inspired by AIC Godsmacked is a AIC song, and if you look at the very very early performances, Godsmack began as an AIC cover band in Massachusetts.
Actually, in his book "The Paths We Choose" he states they were never a cover band, and he explains the name, it being a Alice In Chain's song is of little importance...
@job4robvideo There is footage of this band (his cover band) locally, as well as show bills etc, so he may have downplayed it in his book, but it was there.
@HeavyMetalMachine21 well i used to like the look back in the 80's, then i got my hands on a true blue guitar and laughed at um..plus the rounded back on a ovation makes it very hard to play while sitting, only about half the guitar is wood..lol...and yes Taylor's are the best hands down,dont see to many these days with out one in their hands..if you look you will notice and see what im saying..
Wtf how can anybody sing like this, i mean all songs have cover where ppls sing like or better then original, but lets say Godsmack i stand alone, nobody can sing like that i mean wtf, is he a human? He sings better then any normal human can!!! I'm soo freaking amazed when i hear godsmacks songs! Keep up the awsome work guys! You are special :D
This live is soooo much better than the studio version. I didn't like the song "til I heard it at Rock on The Range...then fell in love with it when I saw Godsmack at PNC Pavillion.

Great to see Sully fork out $10,000 entry fee @the WSOP Vegas tournament, probably just as equivalent to spending a $4.40- 180 player trny on pokerstars to most individuals... just pocket change
epic voice I think Sully is one of the greatest Vocals ever (with David Draiman and James Hetfield) ...dont understand why Sully and Godsmack are so underrated
@shavemypubebeard still stinging over the humiuliation i put on you, junior. i see youve met more of my victims like yourself. and like you, you and the other idiots.posted mew. yeah, ironic isnt it. you posted me ha ha. dont ever post a superior.just like, you never would walk up to one in real life. you savvy, junior. unbelievable, youre still crying over a little bitch slap. you never explained why, you say that you shave your own pubes. is that a new online fetish? thats too much info, bro.
@qwq45 yea no idea wat ur talkin about also the name i thought we went over the name multiple times then when i told you .you dismissed it as not wanting to know. your a turd ,altho i do mildly enjoy the bickering lol. anticipating your reply,mmmm hahaha
@qwq45 o yea i wouldnt come up 2 u in real life bitch? wat ur facebook message me ill give u mine cunt go listen to that shitty leftover crack band bitch.go suk nausea's cheesy squatter nuts cunt!you fuckn suck i swear u have like 1000 "enemies "on youtube.ya ur the fucking man ok.haha hey check my punk band thatll kick ur ass & clip ur leather check out grey box hardcore boston.other band im in killer life boston i got pics of me in the videos come looking for me at any boston show fag
@qwq45 you should know who fucking nausea is right mr. legendary punk originator .neil and tribal war his dreadlocked sack u sucking on it lting in piss and shit in a squat
"Erna stated in a 1999 interview that 'I was making fun of somebody who had a cold sore on his lip and the next day I had one myself and somebody said, It looks like God just smacked you in the face for making fun. The name stuck and we went by Godsmack from then on. We were aware of the Alice in Chains song but didn't really think much about it. It's a cool song and the name had meaning for us".
godsmack is way fucking better than aic. i love both bands but godsmack realy clicks with meaning and gives a sence of comfert. they are way diffrent from aic in most songs and so what if some sound similar but if you knew something about them you would know that godsmack started as a tribute band for aic, and then became a beter band. and there still gettin better. not to mention there singer(sully) is way better and so is tony godsmacks guitarist, who has been recently compared to jimmy page.
@smackme0 sorry Alice in Chains are grunge legends, Layne Staley is a vocal legend he changed vocal music in the 90s, you are just a baby who cant remember the originals. Godsmack are nothing but post grunge copycats
@Cyclonegenerator he didnt change music yea he was an ok singier but im sure music would be fine without alice in chains buddy .im all set with that gay shit
Sully has a good voice whether he's shouting in "I stand alone" Or not shouting in this. And in response to all the shit about Alice In chains, there's no doubt they're good, but so is godsmack, so why don't you guys just relax and quite insulting each other ok?

AIC had what? two good CDs? Put out every 3 or 4 years because layne was such a dope head? Great band but Godsmack has far surpassed anything from AIC.
You know ... The Rolling Stones named themselves after a Muddy Waters song - I personaly don't see whats the big deal with the name of the band. The thing that matters to me is that thay make GREAT music. ;-)
@revolversntulips ye they did copy them a little bit, they got their own little style tho i gotta admit.they couldve at least came up with their own band name tho and not a song from AIC lol
@Smackenzieth „What happened was we were rehearsing one day and our drummer came in with this huge cold sore on his lip. I teased him and really gave him a hard time about it. But then the next day, by this weird coincidence, I happened to get a cold sore on my lip. And so one of the guys in the band said to me, 'See, God just smacked you on the head for all that [teasing].' We took it as a sign, so that's why we named the band Godsmack.“
@Smackenzieth but it is really too bad that AiC sucks at making music and it doesnt sound even remotely good unlike godsmack because they are absolutely sick
i had to really listen to see if this was Godsmack when i heard it on the radio. its alot different than i stand alone and awake and all those songs but its one of my favorites now if not #1.
They use to play in the Worcester/Boston scene back in the mid-late 90's. For a few years they were an Alice in Chains coverband, but they started mixing their own tunes here and there until finally they were who we know them as. I actually was in a band that they played on the same bill. Some really nice guys. Wish I kept in touch with them like they told me to :(
Gotta say out of alot of the bands at that time I'm glad they got the shot and took it.
@bulletbreedband I see why you responded, it looks like I said that I want to go on tour with them, but I what I said was that I wish they would go on tour now for their new album. but that's pretty badass dude.
NO, I caught what you were saying. Just basically was like "well imagine this". Like I said great bunch of dudes and it was an honor & figured you would get a kick out of it.
Hope you get tickets around your area when they come around! Guess there should be some more dates supporting their new cd.
@bulletbreedband I hope I do too, they don't have a tour going on yet, they just have bleh dates here and there until August. Hopefully they're planning one.
Sully is a fuckin awesome singer, his voice in I stand alone is kind of a shout but its still good especially in this one but his voice in this is pretty much his normal voice
hey there people, i have one question and please answer me if you can-
i want to make a tatoo of godsmack logo on my arm, but i dont know the meaning of godsmack logo. what you knkow about it? i dont want tatoo with negative meaning on my arm. i hope godsmack logo is nothing negative, do you people know something about it?
@localHopeth Hey you ya you your an idiot this guy has made more songs then you have and has more money then you have ever seen and plus learn how to spell douche bag dumb ass!!!!
Welcome to the internet. Rule #1: You can't misspell "you're" while correcting someone's spelling. Thanks, have a nice day, and Sully Erna is a not-connected-to-his-audience doosh bag who should lose the glasses.
Why does it matter if an artist/performer wears sunglasses. Have a look at the lights on the stage, theres a variety of reasons for wearing eyewear. Hell, imago/style could be as much of a reason as anything.
I know from my days working security at Nissan Pavilion, that light displays on stage pretty much never require sunglasses. Think about what you just said. They're not blasting supernovas up there; it's just stage lights. The only excuse he could have would be an eye condition.
You can spell better than chasz503, but you need to learn punctuation. What is a question mark?
Sorry, I assumed my English teacher wasnt watching. I wasnt arguing you, I was just confused why would one care about connection between a performer and the audience. Then you went all insecure on me, taking potshots at my punctuation. Way to go, buddy.
If you want a proper answer, spelling and punctuation go a long way.
To answer your question with a question: have you ever been to a concert? There are some performers who kill it every single night and feed off the connection with their audience, and there are some who go through the same motions and do what they have to do. Sully Erna's wearing sunglasses gives off a "screw you" vibe and leads me to believe he is in the latter category.
People start picking on grammar when they dont have an argument left and they know it.
Anyway, sunglasses could have easily been part of the act, kind of like Bono in U2. You think way too much of yourself if you expect an artist to connect to you. Personally, I go to concerts for the show, the music and the crowd. Not to see whether the singer looks at me.
Keep throwing those handfuls of shit against the wall. One of these days some will stick. Since you naturally respond contrarily to valid points without considering them, this pissing match is over. Good day to you.
Wait, what were your valid points? Your "valid points" were just as valid as mine, so dont get so defensive. You consider the man to be an asshole just because he wore sunglasses on the stage, playing music. When questioned, you turned to grammar. Have you considered that you act like an asshole yourself? Thought not.
uh no Sully loves his fans. and in case you didn't know stage lights are really fuckin bright they shine right at you it may not look bright but I've been on stage with my band so I know how bright some of the stage lights are. Thats why Sully still has his glasses on
This is such a badass song even if it isn't the loudest on faceless it is the most touching one. I watched this video and got chills throughout the entire time it was that fucking great!

@Firedasher oh ok then ye mind telling me where it came from?
Smackenzieth 1 year ago
@Smackenzieth „What happened was we were rehearsing one day and our drummer came in with this huge cold sore on his lip. I teased him and really gave him a hard time about it. But then the next day, by this weird coincidence, I happened to get a cold sore on my lip. And so one of the guys in the band said to me, 'See, God just smacked you on the head for all that [teasing].' We took it as a sign, so that's why we named the band Godsmack.“

@SlashAlexi
They use to play in the Worcester/Boston scene back in the mid-late 90's. For a few years they were an Alice in Chains coverband, but they started mixing their own tunes here and there until finally they were who we know them as. I actually was in a band that they played on the same bill. Some really nice guys. Wish I kept in touch with them like they told me to :(
Gotta say out of alot of the bands at that time I'm glad they got the shot and took it.

@bulletbreedband I see why you responded, it looks like I said that I want to go on tour with them, but I what I said was that I wish they would go on tour now for their new album. but that's pretty badass dude.

@SlashAlexi
NO, I caught what you were saying. Just basically was like "well imagine this". Like I said great bunch of dudes and it was an honor & figured you would get a kick out of it.
Hope you get tickets around your area when they come around! Guess there should be some more dates supporting their new cd.
Rock on SlashAlexi !!!!!

Wears sunglasses on stage to diminish the houselights in his vision. Also they look cool.

@localHopeth Hey you ya you your an idiot this guy has made more songs then you have and has more money then you have ever seen and plus learn how to spell douche bag dumb ass!!!!
chasz5032009 1 year ago
Welcome to the internet. Rule #1: You can't misspell "you're" while correcting someone's spelling. Thanks, have a nice day, and Sully Erna is a not-connected-to-his-audience doosh bag who should lose the glasses.
localHopeth 1 year ago
Why does it matter if an artist/performer wears sunglasses. Have a look at the lights on the stage, theres a variety of reasons for wearing eyewear. Hell, imago/style could be as much of a reason as anything.
FullMetalRedfield 1 year ago
I know from my days working security at Nissan Pavilion, that light displays on stage pretty much never require sunglasses. Think about what you just said. They're not blasting supernovas up there; it's just stage lights. The only excuse he could have would be an eye condition.
You can spell better than chasz503, but you need to learn punctuation. What is a question mark?
localHopeth 1 year ago
Sorry, I assumed my English teacher wasnt watching. I wasnt arguing you, I was just confused why would one care about connection between a performer and the audience. Then you went all insecure on me, taking potshots at my punctuation. Way to go, buddy.
FullMetalRedfield 1 year ago
If you want a proper answer, spelling and punctuation go a long way.
To answer your question with a question: have you ever been to a concert? There are some performers who kill it every single night and feed off the connection with their audience, and there are some who go through the same motions and do what they have to do. Sully Erna's wearing sunglasses gives off a "screw you" vibe and leads me to believe he is in the latter category.
localHopeth 1 year ago
People start picking on grammar when they dont have an argument left and they know it.
Anyway, sunglasses could have easily been part of the act, kind of like Bono in U2. You think way too much of yourself if you expect an artist to connect to you. Personally, I go to concerts for the show, the music and the crowd. Not to see whether the singer looks at me.
FullMetalRedfield 1 year ago
Keep throwing those handfuls of shit against the wall. One of these days some will stick. Since you naturally respond contrarily to valid points without considering them, this pissing match is over. Good day to you.
localHopeth 1 year ago
Wait, what were your valid points? Your "valid points" were just as valid as mine, so dont get so defensive. You consider the man to be an asshole just because he wore sunglasses on the stage, playing music. When questioned, you turned to grammar. Have you considered that you act like an asshole yourself? Thought not.

FullMetalRedfield 1 year ago
uh no Sully loves his fans. and in case you didn't know stage lights are really fuckin bright they shine right at you it may not look bright but I've been on stage with my band so I know how bright some of the stage lights are. Thats why Sully still has his glasses on

Most of their songs are about herione addiction. I'm sure this song has to do with overcoming addiction when you crave the drug.
