SULLY ERNA VS. SCOTT STAPP: WHO DO YOU ROOT FOR AT THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS?

 Wednesday, October 13th, 2010 at 10:30am by

It feels wrong to root for someone at the Special Olympics; I mean, all the kids are trying so hard, so no matter who the victor is, everybody wins, y’know? And that kind of how I feel about Sully Erna going out of his way to insult Scott Stapp, and people who like Creed. I appreciate the effort, but I can’t take a side.

So. Blabbermouth, correctly assessing the intelligence and vocabulary skills of your average Godsmack and/or Creed fan, explains that Erna “used a derogatory term for a homosexual male to describe Creed singer Scott Stapp” during a concert at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut this past weekend. (Actually, “faggot” might be that rare multi-syllabic word that Godsmack and Creed fans all know, but I appreciate Blabbermouth’s efforts to keep the playing field even.) Apparently, Erna wanted all the fans to mosh during the band’s final song, and I guess for some reason he decided referencing Creed was the best way to motivate the crowd, telling them that if they didn’t make a big enough ruckus, he would tell subsequent audiences who came to the tour “that Mohegan Sun had a bunch of fucking dead-ass pussies on the fucking floor and maybe you should be going to see a Creed show or some shit like that.” Then, spotting a fan who I guess likes Godsmack AND Creed (holy shit am I glad I’m not friends what that guy), Erna taunted him, “You’re flipping me off? What, you like Creed? You like Scott Stapp? He’s a faggot. Faggot.”

It’s hard for me to blame Erna for his neanderthal use of the word “faggot,” because, like I said, he’s a Special Olympics candidate, so asking him to come up with some witty repartee is like asking the members of Insane Clown Posse to explain science, or asking Lars Ulrich to keep a beat; it’s just not in the cards.

Also, for once in his life, Erna isn’t wrong. I mean, he’s wrong to equate homosexuality with loserdom, but he’s not wrong that Scott Stapp is a fairly worthless human being, and that Creed are a terrible band.

Then again, how do you talk shit when you’re Sully Erna? Are the crowds at Godsmack shows really that much more hardcore than the fans at Creed shows? Do we think that either band puts on a show that gets as violent as a Slayer gig, or a Suicidal Tendencies concert, or a Hatebreed performance? This strikes me as being a fairly classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

In any case, I managed to reach Stapp* to get a retort, and here’s what he told me:

“Oh, yeah? Well guess what, Sully? I’m rubber and you’re glue, so whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!”

Then he ran away crying and fell down. Then, when he wife came over to make sure he was okay, he beat her. Oh well.

Go here to see video of the incident in question.

    “Then, when he wife came over to make sure he was okay, he beat her.”

    That would have been really funny if you proof-read it.

    this is one of the funniest metalsucks posts ive read in a while. awesome post!

  • halloway

    aw man.

  • Jewers

    Creed is better sounding, more enjoyable, and more talented than any 80′s hair metal band, or anything Gary Suarez or Sergeant D ever drool over.

    • dickholedick

      HMMM IN MY OPINION I LOVE THE MAJORITY OF WHAT GARY THROWS OUT THERE HE LIKES THE WEIRD OBSCURE STUFF AND I CAN DEFINITELY GET ON BOARD WITH THAT! THE SARGE ON THE OTHER HAND I COULD DO WITH OUT OPINION WISE, (HE MIGHT BE COOL I DON’T KNOW) BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS CREED SUCKS SO DOES GODSMACK AND THE OTHER BAND THAT CREED BECAME ALTER BRIDGE YEAH THEY SUCK IT TOO! OH YEAH AND THE MAJORITY OF 80′S HAIR METAL SUCKS! YOU LOSE!

    • Trux

      This guy Jewers has a very strong point right here !

    • Isaac

      I’d rather listen to Extreme or WASP than “I’LL SHOW YOU EVERY-THANG WITH AAARMS WIDE OPEN” any day.

    That photoshop abortion is only the third most disturbing thing about this article.

    I still think that f-gg-t should be changed to mean something else. It’s such a great insult. The way it just sounds, is great. The transition from F to AG to GOT is just so fluent and beautiful. I don’t even think of homosexuals when I hear or say it.

    For further insight, pay attention to the brilliant Louis CK:

  • Fufkin

    What an absolute shit that jumped up rear ending tub thumper is – Creed are Zeppelin compared to his troupe of jokers.

    • CYN1C

      I’m pretty sure someone has already mentioned this here before on previous posts, not sure and too lazy to look, but this is coming from a guy with an uncanny resemblance to Scott Stapp, at least from that picture as your avatar.

      • Fufkin

        It is Scott Stapp you utter fool.

  • Alex

    Watching the crowd in that video reminds me of why I hate mainstream concert crowds.

  • Joe LaForm

    Wow, it’s so tough to pick, as I hate both bands so much. Both make radio friendly “rock”. Both Scott Stapp and Sully Erna are such self important dicks. Hmmmm, how about a deathmatch where there is no winner so we don’t have to here about these two piles of untalented shit???

    • chainchomp

      hey man, Stapp has had issues with the sauce. i mean do you realize how much Bartles & Jaymes and Boone’s Farm that guy goes through????

    • Isaac

      See, stuff like this is why the Coliseum should still be active.

      • Agony

        Two men enter! No men leave!

  • cougar party

    The real stupidity here is that I would bet the vast majority of people in that crowd probably like Creed to some extent. You’d think Sully would realize that.

  • kmfcm

    Can people even tell their voices apart?
    They both think they’re Eddie Vedder

    • crapmcpoopin

      Sully thinks he’s Vedder fronting Alice in Chains.

  • jadedkid

    I’m astonished that people are actually ‘coming out’ (pun intended) in support of either one of these bands.

  • http://www.twistedcritic.wordpress.com Chris

    I can’t get past the fact that Godsmack took their name directly from an Alice in Chains song of the same name, a mere 3 years after the song was released. For some reason I find this incredibly lame.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

      They also deny that they got the name from the Alice in Chains song, even thought they started out as an Alice in Chains cover band.

  • DecrystallizingReason

    Hey guys, let’s go out of our way to be politically correct regarding homosexuals, then insult mentally handicapped people everywhere by comparing them to Sully Erna and Scott Stapp.

    • Grymmbear

      This.

      • Eddie Von Fuckenstein

        x 2

  • Tha Rev’rend

    Stapp, Erna and Chad Kroeger should band together to cover that “All For Love” song Sting, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart did for that Three Musketeers movie.

    (No, they shouldn’t.)

  • chainchomp

    i agree with Deeestroy. i mean this is really just a case of a 4foot2 douchebag calling a slightly taller douchebag a douchebag. amiright???

  • William Grimmkvlt

    One’s a wife-abusing drunk with a Christ complex and the other is an Ed Hardy tough guy wannabe who nearly Vince Neil’ed someone with his gas-guzzling SUV. The only winning option is not to chose.

    • BruteLag

      Vince Neil’ed. I enjoy your use of verbs sir.

  • Grymmbear

    Godsmack: Because nothing screams “HARDCORE” quite like confetti falling during your set.

    • chainchomp

      hey hey hey hey hey, do you realize how many paper cuts were received while they were cutting out those tiny bits of paper??? good thing there were some scooby-doo bandaids on hand…..

  • Anthony

    Seriously, you guys tell us that “Fucking ____ how do they work?” jokes aren’t funny, yet you still manage to fit an insult against ICP in this?

    • Isaac

      They lied. those jokes ARE still funny.

  • Maderchod

    They both suck

  • Discipleofthewatch

    I, too, am glad I’m not friends with the guy who enjoys both Godsmack and Creed.

  • Benito

    in the first video, you can hear some dumb bitch in the audience scream out the wrong words right next to the camera twice before she realizes she’s fucking up.

  • meathead

    the requirement to be a frontman in any music “scene” is to be a piece of shit. in that respect, i guess they both have it down pretty good. even phil anselmo, which i think it a great vocalist and probably one of the best frontmen, is a douchebag at heart. the comparison between these untalented fuckknobs and pantera ends there, but the point needs to be made that the frontman (or frontwoman) is really just trying to get any publicity, and bad press is still press. here’s to you, metalsucks, for illuminating all that is wrong with society, music “scenes” and how they react negatively on each other.

    godsmack had about one good song on their first album i heard, probably over 10 fucking years ago i’m not sure. i kinda liked that one creed song, the sunday morning crap, for what it was. also probably over 10 fucking years ago, definitely many bottles ago. so they’re basically nose to nose in the race for shittiest irrelevant band people would forget about if sites like this didn’t exist. or, in erna’s case, i guess it’s more like nose to dick… get a fucking life. rape your mother, and kill your dog.

  • Joe LaForm

    They both suck ass. Too bad the guy from Disturbed and Limp Bizkit weren’t in it too. Throw in Staind as well and they can have the battle of the shittiest band contest, and then they all have a gun fight, and who ever wins, we get to set on fire. Stupid radio freindly jock rock bullshit and fighting over who the more pussy band is. It’s a shame the guys are millionaires and make shitty music and bands like King’s X, that actually have talent are not

  • http://www.twitter.com/justinsevered Tonberry

    Battle of the hweeeaaaaayyyuhhh hoobity doobity vocalists. I’d watch it with the volume off.

  • SithMetal

    Godsmack is so unbelievably lame…I mean seriously, they’re so AIC wannabe that they named themselves after an AIC song. And Erna is boring and repetitive with his lyrics and “yeahs.” I won’t even say anything about Stapp because…well, who the hell cares about either of these guys in the end?

  • dEV

    It’s interesting to hear a band that’s not been relevant for ten years ripping into another band that’s not been relevant for ten years.

  • evilfatguy

    They have slapfights in the special olympics now?
    Huh.

  • Wes

    He was probably just having a whiskey hangover. That’s the only reason he was crying like a bitch. HAH! You know, back when Godsmack first hit the airwaves I thought they were a bit sterile but somewhat interesting. That song “Voodoo” was very cool and a few of the other songs from their self-titled debut were decent. It’s amazing how far a band can fall and continue to fall.

  • AetherJake

    I love the attempt to be Kreator by Godsmack. “from the left to the right, from the front to the back…”

  • Bobbobnm

    you say things about people not being able to spell or know what longer words’ meanings are and you cannot correctly use them in a sentence xD
