I was there. 19 years old. Fucking night got crazy. I got with a a group me and friends and I'll never forget it. These girls were from Utah......had a fucking rig box in a hiking back pack. A fucking huge one. I went down like the Twin towers. Next day had a broke fucking orbital bone and right eye socket. Glad to ve here making a quirk about it yah. You get wiser as older they say lmao hahahaha I'm still riding the track slopes......layne Staley style!!!!!
I was there. You can hear me screaming at about 26 seconds (I have a seriously ear-destroying scream). Godsmack is still one of my favourite rock bands. And I want to set the record straight, especially in light of the recent “documentary:” Woodstock ‘99 was NOT that dangerous. YES, water was $5, BUT there were fountains and hoses everywhere. I bought ONE bottle and refilled it the entire weekend. You were allowed to bring in ANYTHING you wanted (including water and food) as long as it wasn’t in glass. I went there with my sister and we lived on WONDERFUL funnel cake in the mornings ($5) and Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas ($8) as well as a LOT of cheap fruit (watermelon for about $4 PLUS the stuff we’d brought with us). I know there are many accounts of s3xual harrassment and I am VERY SORRY for anyone to whom that happened, but IMHO it happened mostly between people who came there together. I was also there for the so-called “riots.” It was like a Pagan ritual. I WISH I had a picture of it, but at one point, one of the towers near the main stage was on fire and there was someone on top of it, just screaming and throwing his hands up to the sky (he got down fine). Also, during the “riots” the independent vendors were still selling stuff (the only vendors that got looted were the ones from big companies, like Coca-Cola). After my sister fell asleep in her tent, I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. This was at the “height” of the “riots.” I wandered around for a while looking for a useable Port-a-Potty and then I ran into a really nice guy who said he’d heard there were clean ones by the secondary stage. He was right! I thanked him and we parted as friends; he didn’t come on to me or anything. Woodstock ‘99 was one of the BEST concerts I’ve ever been to and IMHO the bad press about it was and is TOTALLY over-exaggerated! Especially now with the coronavirus, I look back on it as one of the best times of my life. 😊
I saw Godsmack about 20 years ago when they toured with Metallica. They were absolutely amazing and incredibly loud. When they played voodoo it felt like the drums were gonna pop my lungs lol
I also saw them up at UNH back when I lived in New England. I went with Partner and his brother and his brother’s girlfriend (who is his wife now). Brother and girlfriend were kind of intimidated but Partner and I jumped right into the mosh pit. At one point the drummer threw one of his drumsticks into the crowd and I CAUGHT IT. (This is very impressive if you know that I am not athletic or coordinated at all and previously, I have almost NEVER caught anything someone threw at me. I am not kidding!). A guy next to me tried to grab the drumstick away from me but I was NOT letting go for anything. We were fighting over it when Partner (who sort of looks like the wrestler Triple H back when Triple H had long hair) walked up behind the guy, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, “LET GO.” To this day Partner and I have that drumstick on display in our apartment! 😊
Ava, yes this wasn't Sully'd greatest singing, too much growl. He had gotten over time. I actually listened to his Lighting up the sky tour concerts here and it's really good. He's in tune and has a great carry. Check out the more recent music.
When I see Godsmack perform this song now in 2018, half of the crowd doesn't even know it. What the fuck happened to good rock. Just sad. Godsmack is one of the best bands in the last couple decades.
@@DrMurdercock that’s not an excuse. Whatever is a Godsmack classic. If someone goes to a Godsmack concert and don’t even know that song then they aren’t there for Godsmack lol
Saw them in...2019 I think. In Utah. Snowed in mid-september, Sully was all wtf is this? And told us to text our bosses that we weren't coming into work tomorrow 🤣 and because of the weather a lot of seats were empty so we got upgrades to better seats instead of the lawn tickets we had. Great night!
I was their godsmack is from lawerence Massachusetts i live in Lynn MA this Woodstock 99 was nuts i was 16 we hitailed it to rome new york i saw people shooting heroin doing molly cocaine crack nitrus ketamine jus a jogpog of drugs it changed my life forever when korn played freak on a leash that when people went absolute nuts
Jacob Pollock No you don't wish you were there. My aunt was there and saw three people die and some poor woman getting raped. This was a poorly planned event.
This was when Godsmack was one of the hardest fucking bands on the planet. This was such a great era for music. Also, the panic chord in this song is so good! Catchy as hell to say the least!
Was just watching Trainwreck Woodstock 99 on Netflix. Glad these guys were on the West stage. What a total cluster f**k that weekend was. But when most of the acts are Metal what did they expect. Godsmack summed it up perfectly with ending their set with this song.
Man I want sooooo bad for the band to stop rushing this song all to hell, especially the guitarist during the main riff! Their other Woodstock performance of this same tune was head and shoulders a cut above this one!
That’s just not true, rock is still going strong. Just because it’s not the most popular genre anymore doesn’t mean that it’s shit. You’re just being ignorant, maybe step out of your 90s comfort zone and give the new stuff a listen.
