TALENTLESS HACK INSULTS FELLOW TALENTLESS HACK

This is a story about a band I don’t care about getting involved in some drama with a band I haven’t cared about in at least fifteen years. But it’s still kinda amusing, so I’m posting it.
So I guess Motley Crue are still touring with a lot of other shitty bands? I dunno, I made the mistake of going to see the Crue a few summers back and decided we’d all be better off if Vince Neil would just Razzle the rest of the band at this point. I mean, a few “YEAH BOOOOOYYYYYY!!!!”s from Tommy Lee and I was off to the parking lot to beat the traffic. I had a better time watching Limp Bizkit open for Metallica. Because at least in that situation, people were throwing shit at Fred Durst and booing, not fooling themselves that it was still 1987 or whatever.
But I digress.
Motley Crue. So they must have toured with Godsuck while I wasn’t paying attention. That seems about right. But I guess Sully “The Meathead Layne Staley” Erna didn’t have a fun time, ’cause he recently felt the need to talk smack during an interview:
“I will tell you, [touring with Motley Crue has] been the most dramatic tour we’ve ever been on. I mean, talk about just craziness, man. Sometimes egos run high, man, and there’s definitely been some rock-star garbage on this tour that just have never seen in our career… I don’t know who needs to live up to whose reputations and I don’t know why some people consider music as a competition, but I will tell you that I have never been in a situation where I felt like I was out for blood, and honestly, this was the first time that I felt like, ‘You know what?! If there’s gonna be some people that are gonna treat other people a certain way, then I’m gonna go out there every night and fucking crush you on stage — make sure that we make you look old and fat, and go home with a nice big fat paycheck.’… I don’t know. It’s been a good time for us out here, but in other situations, there’s definitely been some uncomfortable moments.”
Now, I have no idea what Sully Erna is like. I mean, I know that I loathe his music, but I don’t know anything about his reputation as a person. Is he as chill as he makes himself out to be in this interview? Does he, himself, have a massive ego, and is just pissy ’cause Nikki Sixx fucked all his groupies or something? I dunno.
But I’m torn about this particular feud. I never liked Godsuck, but I did, once upon a time, love the Crue. Back in the day, they were awesome. Also back in the day: the Republicans freed the slaves. So, y’know. Things change.
My point is: I don’t know with whom to side in this instance. So I guess I’m gonna go all Iann Robinson here and suggest that the two bands have a battle to the death, where the victors get to be killed. That way, everybody wins.

“Now, I have no idea what Sully Erna is like. I mean, I know that I loathe his music, but I don’t know anything about his reputation as a person. Is he as chill as he makes himself out to be in this interview?”
I learned the other day via television that Sully hangs around with Criss Angel, which more or less confirms that he is indeed a douche and that this is just another example of simple, common douche-on-douche crime.

Tommy Lee is actually really good friends with Criss Angel too. If that isn’t a match made in heaven….
I like Criss Angel.
do you also flush out vaginas?
the first Godsmack album wasn’t bad at the time, but then they made the same record again, and again, and….
I can’t stand them now.
As far as shit talking between Crue and Sully, who cares.
Nah, it was pretty bad even then.
THAT is talking smack? Saying, “There have been some uncomfortable moments?” Man, talk about trying to find a controversy where none seems to exist. Sounds like Fox News.
i dont like godsmacks music much but my drummer showed me this clip
(just to give sully some respect)

I saw them live once and they did that drum duel and did a cover medley with them and everything. Easily the best thing about their live show.
“…we’d all be better off if Vince Neil would just Razzle the rest of the band…” Ouch!
That’s so wrong, but it still cracks me up!
I don’t hate godsmack. just another mediocre pop metal band that found a niche and decided to ride it out. they have a handful of alright songs. they’re not nearly as gay as disturbed. and the crue have always fucking sucked. fuck them.
I couldnt agree more with what you said. I have seen Godsmack live and they really are not that terrible. I do own (no idea where the actual disc is ) their first album. I was in high school and I did not know any better. Eh it was a good listen. Back to reality, all their new music blows and would never purchase anything by them again. They do blow Disturbed out of the water.
Does Vince Neil resemble John Lovitz a bit, or is it just me?
A blonde Jon Lovitz when he sports his mustache! That’s brilliant! I will always think of that now whenever I see a picture of either one of them.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
I think Godsmack are decent enough. They’re miles better than a lot of the bullshit on the radio these days.
That being said, I saw Erna on Cribs once. He didn’t seem like a douche really, just kind of…annoying. He did however put some girl in a coma or something during a carwreck. Supposedly he was pretty upset though. But that’s what his management said. I don’t think he’s ever mentioned it.
Regardless, I think we all know that the Crue is filled with dick sandwiches and it could be Mustaine and King saying this and they’d still 100% correct.
Cause yno…even if Erna hangs out with Criss Angel, that’s still better than a wigger Backstreet Boy.
hahaha i love the phrase “dick sandwich” haha well played!
Sully is a former citizen of nearby Manchester, New Hampshire (I’m from the wiggerville known as Derry).
And yes, he’s not only an uber-douche, but incredibly short. If he is over five feet tall, I’d be amazed.
What a fuckin joke. Godsmack talking shit about a band that was willing to haul them all over the country. Say what you want about Vince and Crue, they are legends, Godsmack are just an opening act at best. Whatever happened to respect in the music business. Fuck I’m pissed.
Crue = Legends of snorting coke off each other’s cocks
Fuck both of these bands
Motley crue is a horrible bunch of crossdressers.
Godsmack is amazing.
Theyre all a bunch of assholes. Who cares… the winner is the group without shitty music… and that would be Godsmack.
Theyre all a bunch of assholes. Who cares… the winner is the group without shitty music… and that would be somebody NOT involved in this bullshit
FIX’D
just me or does JFAC’s vocalist look like sully?
hmmmm….Gee, I can’t figure out who I don’t give a shit about more.
Motley Crue should just stop, and Godsmack should have never started in the first place.
Well, Godsmack wouldn’t have had the chance if Layne Staley didn’t off himself with fucking Heroin. The fucking tribute band took over and their first album was something very similar to AIC’s sound.
Finally, to all you Metalheads in denial, you most certainly liked Godsmack’s first album because AIC hadn’t released anything(at the time) worth listening to since DIRT.
Incorrect….All Godsmack is shit.
Vince better watch out – Sully might use his “voodoo vooooooodoooooo.” Ha. Worst goddamn song in the world. Godsmack is horrible. Motley gets the pass just for “writing” The Dirt. If Sully could read he would’ve known what to expect from any interaction with those guys.
I have all of Godsmack’s albums (their acoustic EP is really good in 5.1 surround, by the way), but I won’t be buying any more of them. To someone else’s point, they’ve been making the same album over and over again since almost the beginning of their career (I consider “Awake” the pinnacle of their career; it’s been downhill from there). It’s really too bad, because I can tell from what I’ve seen in their shows that the musicians (particularly the lead guitarist) are capable of much more than what Sully has them play.
I’ve seen them twice in concert. The first time, they opened for Stone Temple Pilots along with Disturbed. The second time, several years later, they headlined and the overall vibe was much different. They had gone from from hard rock nobodies with something to prove to rock ‘n’ roll heroes: over-the-top pyrotechnics, lots of “clap yo’ hands” and “I can’t hear you” and stuff like that. It was pretty disappointing. I felt like a douche just for being an audience to such wankery.
Godsmack is balls. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably shouldn’t be on this site.
Also, why the fuck is there a Pitbull ad on the sidebar…?!
The first thing that popped into my head was
“Uno Dos Tres Cuatro. I know you want, I know want me, I know you want meeeee, I know you want me.”
Every hear of targeting your demographics…?
sully should worry about his days back in a band called Stripmind! yes sully you fuck! i have the CD and it’s a hell of a lot better then any godsmack shit! go back to drums with your copycat vocals asshole!
I did an interview with Sully back when they were on tour with metallica. He was a total piss ant jackass. I pissed him off by asking what he thought about some in the media saying they just keep on regurgitating the same songs over and over lol. I wasn’t asking, I just wanted his opinion and he flew off the handle and stopped the intervew. The tour manager demanded my video tape and I was deprived of my passes and tickets. Luckily I had a hot chick with tickets of her own that was waiting for me outside so I got to see metallica that night. What a douche!
Gee…a Metallica and Godsmack tour….I’d rather stay home and watch It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I’d rather watch It’s always sunny in philadelphia than do a lot of things. I mean, it’s just a great fucking TV show.
