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”.

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 😄

@Nialligimino 11 месяцев назад

I think for balance, Under Your Scars, and Broken Road, although Until Then would probably be well-appreciated for the Cello.

if you're gonna do Godsmack from a vocal perspective, you really oughta listen to "Voodoo".

@Fraxxxi 11 месяцев назад

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.

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

You're not alone at all in feeling that way. :) I'm VERY happy that you chose this song as your introduction to this band - on here at least. hahaha, it's crazy that you've never heard any of this! lol, this and Voodoo were played on the radio nonstop over the years and were played in a few films while also being featured in some video games as well. :P For future listening of Godsmack, I like many others will recommend that you check the song Voodoo out! It's a great one. :)

Thank you for your analysis and reactions... The movie Scorpion King was so-so but the soundtrack was excellent... Godsmack starts out the album... System of a Down, P.O.D., Drowning Pool, Hoobastank, Rob Zombie, Sevendust... so many great groups. I really liked the song "Only the Strong" by Flaw from the soundtrack. They layer Chris Voltz' vocals during the chorus and cause a harmonic resonance that I can't get enough of...

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.

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.

@travisfodrie5410 11 месяцев назад

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

@DefinitelyNotBender 11 месяцев назад

Yea, Vampires is highly underrated.

A huge vocal nerd like you can't avoid to listen one of the best extreme singer: phil bozeman of the band called whitechapel. he has an unique talent you can hear very clear a lot of the words he sings, despite the growl or scream (in the 2 latest album he has addeded an unespected clean vocals too, that remember Maynard keenan). the band is so awesome, my suggestions for a first time reaction is “anticure” “i will find you" or “when a demon defiles a witch"

@ShadowsDragoon 11 месяцев назад

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).

@Arashmickey 11 месяцев назад

One of those songs I can't separate from where I heard the most - the Prince of Persia Warrior Within. Hope to hear mmm mmm mmm mmm someday, because Brad's voice is deep but strangely also buzzy. Also Until it sleeps because the music video was amazing especially at the time.

@HereticNardo84 11 месяцев назад

"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.

@zachcollins4442 11 месяцев назад

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 😢❤

Voodoo's got to be the way to go in terms of vocal analysis of Sully's voice. I like singing karaoke and this is the song I always choose to sing because it's at the same time very well paced but also covers a wide range of pitches. Also, the intro requires a very good breath technique (something I certainly lack but I try to do my best).

@alfredsalas7535 11 месяцев назад

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.

@sdalexander8505 11 месяцев назад

@Interestingenough4 11 месяцев назад

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.
