One of New Year’s resolutions, next to start exercising (actually doing that one) and get Sacha the Death Metal Puppy a trainer so he stops terrorizing the Mansion (don’t seem to be actually doing that one), was not to write about the new Godsuck album. For all of you who seem to enjoy making fun of Limp Bizkit and Korn as much as we do, there’s all a contingent of you who want us to spend more time writing about good bands and less time smack talkin’ the bad, so I thought I’d give that a shot; also, I don’t mind making sacrifices for you, our loyal readers, but I really can’t see myself laying on my death bed thinking “Man, I wish I’d heard the new Godsuck song in 2010 at least once.”

But now there’s this rumor that Godsuck’s new single, “Cryin’ Like a Bitch,” is actually about Nikki Sixx. So of course, I had to investigate.

Let’s say you’re Sully Erna. You’re the lead singer of a God awful band but you basically won the lottery, since there are enough ree-rees in the world to buy your music and make you a gajillionaire. How do you celebrate? Dineyland? Hookers n’ blow? How about you pull a Vince Neil?

So. Erna has reached a settlement with a 27 year old girl, Lindsay Taylor, and her parents, Elaine and Jeffrey, following a 2007 car accident that left Taylor with “a severe traumatic brain injury.” Erna, who left the accident unscathed, rammed the Taylor’s with his Hummer, and while he’s blaming the crash on another driver and – I shit you not – the design of the road, that hasn’t stopped him from agreeing to pay $3.3 million dollars, plus thousands of dollars a month in additional fees. Here’s the complete breakdown of what Erna will pay, according to The Eagle-Tribune:

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.

Thanks to MetalSucks reader TTQuick for forwarding me the following press release, which is, to put it mildly, absolutely hilarious:

“While his Godsmack pals are off doing Another Animal, Sully Erna is quietly working on a solo record. The singer tells Billboard.com, ‘It’s gonna be nothing like rock music. It’s gonna be very Native American tribal rhythms mixed with these Middle Eastern bluesy kind of vocals.’”

I have three problems with the above paragraph:

1. You’re not “quietly working on a solo record” if you do a press release.
2. Middle Eastern vocals are not “bluesy.” At all.
3. Sully Erna doing “Native American tribal rhythms” ranks right up there with Sebastian Bach rapping in terms of terrible, horrible, incredibly awful ideas.

I could lie and tell you I’ll never listen to the Sully Erna Experiment at all, but I probably will. So that I make fun of it on this site.

See? So much to look forward to in 2008!
