🥁☕🙌
GREAT VID ANDREW...SULLY ERNA ACTUALLY PLAYED DRUMS AND SANG ON GODSMACKS FIRST ALBUM. IVE SEEN THEM 3 TIMES OVER THE YRS, INCLUDING WOODSTOCK 99 WHICH IS ALL OVER YT....GODSMACK HAS GROOVE FOR DAYS.. WOW WHAT A WAY TO START A DAY...THX MAN...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST....BTW IT WAS RUSH YYZ THAT YOU HEARD IN THERE.THX
@Andrew Rooney Drums The singer Skully playing the bongos,at the beginning of the battle,along with there main drummer (☺He's great but i forgot his name?) 1st song was,"YYZ by Neil Peart that you said sounds familiar!" And they had Tom Sawyers by Neil Peart at the end! Love Neil Peart and RUSH!
Sully Erna, real name Salvatore Paul Erna Jr. (lead singer on hand percussion) and Shannon Larkin (drummer) shredding up the rest of it. Freaking amazing is it not? Finished off with some Rush YYZ and some Tom Sawyer.
I have watched this countless times because I just love it! To call it a "drum battle" may be a bit if a misnomer, but if it IS a battle, then the clear winner is .......anyone who gets to watch and listen to it!!!!!!
100%
It's a duet :)
Salvatore (Sully) Erna is an Italian-American multi instrumentalist (Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums and Percussion) who started as a drummer before becomming a lead vocalist. He is also an amazing singer-song writer.
Thanks Louis. Yes he’s quite the force! 🤯
He also plays violin trumpet and tuba along with a few others
Specifically Sicilian
wrong is roots are from chile ! he said it in a interview. i guess im not 100% sure
@@Taker2K23you may be thinking of his step mother, who is from El Salvador.
Sully Erna (Frontman/Hand percussion guy) is a **HUGE** RUSH fan and was quite friendly with Neil Peart.
Shouldn't be a surprise.
Wow. Awesome Michael 🥁
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
The singers family were friends with Neil Perts (from Rush) family he got to see alot growing up with Neils playing thus they throw in Tom Sawyer at the end. Seeing this live is so damn cool.
Awesome Brian! 🥁🙌
Salvatore Erma is Sicilian, he also does solo work. Check out a song called 7 years . Larkin is a precision animal.
rush, arrow Smith, led zeppelin, rush. the famous tracks they played, that was bad ass.
Kinda hard to give you a hard time for missing 2x Rush references... when I didn't know the Led Zepplin reference... :O I guess that's my homework... :P
That was a pretty cool drum battle. Definitely kept a strong groove for the audience to enjoy. Nice.
So good! 🥁🙌
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Second part of drum battle included:
Rush - YYZ
Aerosmith - Walk this way
Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick
Rush - Tom Sawyer
I tour manage shannon's side project, apocalypse blues revival, god smacks drum tech of 20 years is the singer. All the guys is both bands are great musicians and even better human beings. Check it out. Cheers
Great! Thank you Aaron!!
Epic!
Yes Eva!
Sulley started as a drummer..
I have heard this many times and they always change it up a little.
Alot of his solo stuff is simply amazing as well.
BTW Sulley is from Boston.
As a person that has witnessed this twice, I can assure you it is orders of magnitude more impressive live. But lets not forget how awesome Tony's guitar solo is during this show's era.
100% live is always going to be next level
Wanted to see if you agree: it's not possible to leave a Godsmack show without being thoroughly exhausted!
@@primemover1416 yes one of best live shows I've seen. And I've seen a lot of bands.
I was at this show in Wilkes-Barre PA. Was so amazing to see live and being able to watch it over and over again on DVD and online is awesome.
Saw these guys battle at Soundwave 2015, Core memory for me now.
Godsmack is a seriously underrated band... If you get the chance to see them live, I highly recommend it!
What? Underrated? Seriously?
None of their albums sold less than gold. I dont think they were underrated at all? lol
Lucky enough to see them last year in London brilliant night
Got to see them open for Metallica in 04 when i was 17. No concert has ever come close to it.
Agreed 👍
Sully is extremely talented... plays drums, harmonica, guitar, and vocals. Shannon is a stud!
if you have time check my drum covers
I have seen the band 6 times. Last time I saw them Sully was also at the piano for several songs. The dude's talent is endless.
@@norair1010 That's cool.... think I've seen 5 times. Good stuff!
@@aaronklein7730Cool. Did you see the acoustic show? That was awesome. I think that was the first time I saw the double drums.
@@norair1010 yeah seen that...it was kinda the up close and personal side of Godsmack if I remember? They even let the crowd pass a microphone around to ask the band questions...pretty cool!
Shannon Larkin is so underrated and almost never mentioned in the world of elite Drummers. His long arms and style has always reminded me of Animal from the Muppets.
100% TRUE
He’s super entertaining to watch play.
Yooooo... Whoever picked this. Quite a few of you requested it right? First time seeing this band.
DAAAAAAAAAYUM!
The subscribers kill it AGAIN!
Sully definitely is the lead singer and was playing the hand percussion. He's 💯 Boston born and raised, just a well rounded percussionist! Always enjoy some Godsmack! Shannon definitely has earned the nickname"Animal"(from The Muppets) because his style is just like Animal! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Larkin is a beast. like someone said below - it's still single kick drummer. if you want to check an 'ordinary' playthrough of him? "straight out of line" official video is juz mindblowin, when we're talking around some God's Smacks in drumline...
Appropriate sub count for this video
Sully was originally a drummer but wanted to sing in a band so he started what became Godsmack after different lineup changes.
If you like Larkin in this, check out his early days with Wrathchild America. Desert Grins has some amazing work in it
My daughter and I got to hang out with Sully in Reno, NV, for a few hours leading up to their show about 10 years ago. He and his daughter were at a place inside the Grand Seirra Resort called Fun Quest, and both our daughters had a blast playing together! I'm telling you, he's the most down to earth dude you could possibly meet. We talked drums, guitar amps, life on the road, new ideas for the next album, on and on. Even shared some pizza and sodas from the Round Table pizza next door. Then we got to see him rock out with Godsmack a couple hours later, it was an epic show!
That's fantastic!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 👍
Lucky bastard
@@farisfuad1150 It sure was an awesome day, one that I'll never forget.
That's really cool. I had a similar story and had drinks one evening with the guys from Killswitch engage. They were super nice and funny
I've seen this solo several times at their concerts and it never disappoints. and yes, the bongo player is the singer. The part where you mentioned it sounded familiar was YYZ by Rush.
if you have time check my drum covers
@@miloslavlorinc i don't
I saw Godsmack open for Metallica as well and the drum solo was insane. Shannon is tall and has long arms so he absolutely crushes the kit. Sully was originally a drummer who worships at the altar of Neil Peart. Hence the YYZ and Tom Sawyer snippets. They are also Boston guys so that’s why the Aerosmith got dropped in.
All in all, this was a great solo not just because the drumming is insane, but I loved how the band was incorporated throughout.
if you have time check my drum covers
Early 2000s? I saw then together in Chicago! It was amazing
Yeah.. Seen them open for Metallica also. IMHO they blew them away
I also saw them open for Metallica in Portland Oregon and I am a huge Metallica fan....with that said they blew Metallica away that night
Saw the same tour in Houston that year. EPIC SHOW....
This was also my first time seeing this drum battle, and what a treat it was! I've been a casual fan of Godsmack since 98/99, and I've kept up with them casually throughout the years, but I had no idea these kind of shenanigans were going on at shows! What a kick ass performance!
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
I have to say if you find the music appealing, their live show is on point. They are tight and sound incredible.
YYZ plays
Andrew: “that sounds familiar….”
The masses scream out in unison
HAHA
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I'm sure you've gotten comments saying that Neil Peart was "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". You can tell the influence of Neil and Rush at the end when Sully and Shannon started their covers section with YYZ and ended it with Tom Sawyer. That's exactly what people mean when they make that comment.
What many don't recognize is the fact, this whole sequence was inspired by the band's love of Metallica, and the drum battle between James and Lars from the 1990's San Diego concert from Live Shit: Binge and Purge. Not as a ripoff or some shit like that, but as a love letter tribute. Hence, the incorporation of a few Metallica riffs there at the end of the sequence, along with Walk This Way, and a few other nods. Unless the video was taken down by TH-cam due to copyright (likely), you might still find a behind the scenes video out there with Sully and Larkin building and practicing the sequence, and the band jamming on a few different song ideas to slip in at various points. Nearly every time they performed this live, they would change up which riffs they would use night to night.
Dammit I love these dudes. It is really goona be heartbreaking to see the close of this band in the next couple years. Sure hope I finally get the chance to see them live before the end.
Wow. Great info!
Personally I have always loathed dual drum solos for many reasons. This is not only well worked out and includes the band instead of just being about showing off but this also shows a great amount of thought into what will work in a live setting. There syncing is unbelievable. Not many examples of this type of 'drum battle'
if you have time check my drum covers
This...👆
you must not know much about godsmack then. ive been listening since the blew up the stage on ozzfest 99 and woodstock 99. they have been doing the dual drum thing since 2002/03 when i first saw them
I saw this at a Metallica concert that Godsmack opened at and this was the highlight of the entire night.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
I saw them open for Metallica in 04 or 05 and they did this. So cool
Godsmack is just an awesome live show. Just one of the last rock star types. I don’t even like the band and I count it as among my fave live shows ever
That's amazing Michael
My very first concert was Godsmack and Metallica when I was 9. Kinda ruined all other concerts after that😂
Oh wow! HAHA
First cover song was YYZ by Rush. This unfortunately doesn't really highlight Shannon Larkin's cool playstyle. I encourage you to watch just him as the drummer. Honestly, the entire Changes DVD is a Hell of a concert and they give Shannon the most camera coverage. Dude is a rockstar performer.
Also, fun fact. Shannon Larkin was the drummer for Ugly Kid Joe for anyone who wants to feel old today.
if you have time check my drum covers
Yup. Started it with rush YYZ, Aerosmith, zeppelin, and back to Rush with Tom Sawyer. Sulley and Larkin are big fans of the late Neil Peart from rush
Technically, didn't the whole thing start off with a loose cover of Korn's song Got Life? That's what I hear but I could be wrong.
@@graxy_tv aaaand he played with the Md band Wrathchild America before UKJ. There’s old footage of Sully hanging with Shannon & Wrathchild somewhere in the 80s
I Love how at the end they play Neil Peart's very recognizable Drumming at the end ((when you said that sounds familiar,was Neil Peart's YYZ 1ST,AND Neil Pearts Tom Sawyer the last one!))
I've seen this live 5 times now and it's still mind blowing every time.
💯Mark!
Sully played drums on the first two Godsmack albums. YYZ is the song that sounded familiar to you.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
And 2112 ending.... 'attention all planets of the solar federation... we have consumed caffeine.. we have consumed caffeine...' :)
Late to the party...
I was at this show and nearly lost my mind when Sully appeared! It blew me away and I knew I hadta buy the DVD when it came out. Still got it with the receipt tucked in the jacket.
The entire film is a mix of behind the scenes as well as the live show. I highly recommend you buy this and have a look, if you haven't already.
✌️😎🇺🇸
Great dvd indeed ❤
I have this love/hate relationship with Godsmack in the way that they write the most generic tough guy rock, but they’ll turn around and the bassist, guitarist, drummer and singer are all ridiculously skilled as musicians.
It's like mid-2000s garage rock, from talented musicians lol
If I remember Sully's biography correctly, he started as a drummer waaaay back in the day as a kid. He disliked sheet music and learned/played by ear and got some success with his band Strip Mind. I believe it was with Godsmack that he took the step forward to be front and center with the vocals.
So yeah, Sully can drum too
He sure can Robin! Killed it
i was in middle school when they blew up after ozzfest. it was pretty common knowledge that sully was a drummer before being the front man for godsmack. how old are you?
@@travisprugh6347 I'm 32. My first taste of Godsmack was I Stand Alone through The Scorpion King back in 2002. I had that song on my MP3 player for 2-ish years when Prince of Persia: Warrior Within came out in late 2004.
Looked up some more Godsmack after that and it quickly became a staple band on my various music players 🤟 Sully's biography was a good and fun read when it came out 😂
IIRC people in his circle initially laughed when he said he would be doing the vocals
you've got to watch a crapload more godsmack now. you know this right?
I do indeed... :)
One of the times that I saw it they flipped the drum sticks in the air to each other without missing a beat.
I’ve seen them more times than I can remember, one of my favorite live shows so close musically to the album version. Very impressive.
Godsmacks so good live!! Shannon Larkins a straight beast!!!
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
I've never been a huge Godsmack fan, but when I've seen them live they are one of the best live bands to see. Their shows are incredible.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Godsmack is my all time favorite band. I saw them twice in Indiana & the drum battle was my favorite part of the concert. Sully & Shannon are so very talented. I would LOVE to see them again. Keep rocking guys!! 🤘
I was never a Godsmack fan but this blew me away. I give both these guys mad respect. What a great performance... this was the best thing I've seen in a while .. well since... Sons of Apollo Diary of a Madman
I was fortunate enough to see this live in concert and it is even more exciting in person
What's really impressive about Shannon Larkin is that he's a single kick guy.
He does doubles, thanks to his time in Amen.
Single kick drum, double pedals
Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with your point. Watching him play is an absolute joy.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
He did lots of double bass in Wrathchild America.
Saw this drum battle three times: 1 in 2015 and 2 times in 2019. They changed it here and there from album to album. I recommend searching a live drum battle from 2019, where they use a part from "Enter Sandman". These dudes rock and as a drummer, this is the most anticipated moment for me from their show!
Soon as you hear Sully sing you would recognize the band.
I’m sure you are right 👌
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
i was at this show & it was every bit as magical in person. this never gets old
Sully came out playing the bongos, Shannon is the short hair skinny dude on the drums. Fun fact Sully was originally a drummer, and he’s a damn good drummer, which I believe makes him a much better front man and guitarist too. This is legendary and I got to see them battle live like this, was just insane to watch
if you have time check my drum covers
I really think this DVD was the best live show i've seen in my youth - all musicians were amazing at the moment, not only drums. And this part of it just crushed into my mind, thats the best doube drum perfomance i know.
Totally blew my mind Alex. Amazing 🥁🙌
Gotta love Andrew's jaw-dropping reactions and how he rewinds the video to watch again in disbelief😅
First saw this drum battle years ago and it made me have so much more respect for Godsmack as a band as a whole.
Side note: Shannon got the spot in the band because Sully said they drummed the same way/had the same sound.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Sully based his playing style on Shannon's after they met when Sully was still a full time drummer years before the formation of Godsmack
Shannon Larkin is a absolute monster. He has some of the longest arms (next to Tommy Lee) which gives his visual style mad punch when you see him live. Some of the coolest drummers to see live are Tommy-Shannon and the mighty Morgan Rose.
Roy Mayorga from Stone Sour is also pretty crazy
You gotta give Tommy Lee props for that. He isn't technically great, but he puts on a hell of a show.

@@ckmoore101 if you have time check my drum covers
@@robertomanfredi342 if you have time check my drum covers
My ex-girlfriend went to school with Sully. Apparently he knew he was going to be a rock star early on. Dude sure has vision and heaps of talent.
I knew a kid like this too in HS, introduced himself in 9th with “my names Joey, and im gonna be a rock star” and sure as shit he’s actually doing well in a musical career.
@@rpgkum3r69 jordison?
@@randyturker nah, unfortunately lol.
Your a professional drummer and teacher and you don't know the greatest percussionist of all times? Neil Peart's YYZ! Seriously?
I took my now-wife to a Godsmack concert on our first date. I’d seen them before but it was her first time. I’ll never forget before the show, during sound check, she turns to me and goes “why do I hear them testing out a drum kit? There’s no one sitting at the drums!” “Oh just you wait…” her mind was blown when they performed this! It made me so happy watching your reaction to take me back to that feeling of seeing someone experience this for the first time
Our daughter is taking a liking to percussion and I can’t wait until she’s old enough for concerts, I hope Godsmack is still touring by then to see her reaction to this battle.
Also… my Christmas wish is to see a singer/drummer duo battle of Godsmack vs Foo Fighters… how cool would that be?
Me being a drummer & my brother & dad being guitar guys.. i can guarantee you non drummers dont appreciate this nearly as much as they should.. then again there are awesome guitar solos that bore me. 😆
Godsmack is one of a few bands that sound just as good or better live. Great band. Watch a evening with godsmack live at the house of blues. It will blow your mind
I will 👌
Yes the hand percussionist is indeed Sully and the other is Shannon. Sully Erna was the drummer in the band he was in before Godsmack.
I saw that act 20 or so years ago and was in awe. Several years later my wife and I saw Godsmack and they performed it again. I was super excited to see it again and she didn't understand my excitement, until she saw it. We've seen Godsmack several more times over the years and still get just as pumped as the first time we saw it live.
Would be a whole other level live!
i feel the exact same. Live has so much more energy to it.
I saw this live as it was filmed at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania [then called Wachovia Arena] - still one of the best concerts I ever attended
I’ve been a fan of Godsmack for years but had not seen them in concert. Was supposed to go last year and backed out. Saw them last week and this drum battle blew me out of the water! After the battle they continue with a medley of songs- the transitions were seamless. I have tickets to see them in august and told my wife from now on if they are nearby we are going.
This is literally my favourite reaction video of all time! I’ve watched this battle video more times than I can count….Your face did exactly what my face did the first time I heard it. Shannon Larkin reminds me of Animal from the muppets. They’re both absolute beasts on the drums! Did you notice the ode to Rush at the end?
Thank you Kelly!!!
I need a few more listens to call Rush tunes :) Although I DID recognize it!!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums would you do some tool and avenged sevenfold? Danny Carey and the Rev are my GOATS
I said the exact same thing about Shannon acting like animal from the muppets. The best drummer ever!
I'm pretty sure you know their song "I Stand Alone" from Scorpion King. It's pretty big. You must've heard it before.
Never fails every time I see this it gives me the chills... When I was younger I studied this for several weeks learning how to play this. Bleeding fingers and hands but eventually got it. 🤘🤘
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Sully Erna is of Italian ethnicity, I believe his uncle was a famous Italian music composer
Absolutely fantastic!!! I love Sully and Godsmack!! I love the drums Soo very much!! One of my favorite bands, love Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and Metallica and Pearl Jam and Godsmack!! Thank you for sharing this awesome video!! 🥁😊💓🤘✌️🔥
Thanks Laura! 🙏🥁
The influence is also African or even Haitian as well. One of their biggest songs is even called “voodoo” and features nothing but those sounds you describe
Shannon is a very underrated drummer. He is a very good tight drummer.
These guys are the absolute best live show ive ever seen. Musical beasts.
Musical beasts says it all...phenomenal talent
If youre a drummer and dont have a chubby after seeing this you need a pulse check.
I've seen this live once and it was just as good as the video. They kill it everytime.
Yes...when I saw them live it was just as awesome too!🌹
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
@@amandaleeborchert3745 if you have time check my drum covers thanks
@@miloslavlorinc Awesome! I left comment under your video comments. Keep rocking. 🌹
Have seen Godsmack several times, including the drum battle, which these videos do NOT do justice. It is absolutely incredible in person, and you sir, are correct about which one is the singer and which is the drummer. Shannon Larkin is amazing, and they nicknamed him Animal because he throws his arms around like Animal from the Muppets when he plays, it's awesome.
This is so phenomenal man! WOW
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Just caught your channel a couple of days ago when I saw a reaction to El Estepardio Siberiano, who is a damn monster on a kit. Good stuff brother, love the reactions. Keep it up!!
They are truly amazing live. They feed of the audience and get everyone on their feet.
Bought this dvd when I was a teen just to watch Shannon play. When I was younger Morgan Rose, Shannon Larkin and Joey were by far my favorite drummers.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Morgan Rose is one of my drumming idols. What a beast. And definitely Joey and Shannan
Two other famous drum battles to watch are; Phil Collins and Chester Thompson at Wembly Arena, and Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa on a TV show from the Sixties. (Cant remember the name, just the video.)
Nice! Remind of this if I forget please 👌
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
One could argue that this was a duet as much as it was a battle.
Absolutely correct
Used to walk in Tower Record and listened to 'The Other side' CD. I bought the album, really love the vibe and orchestration of this acoustic album.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Your reaction was much the same as mine the first time I heard this. I played it probably a dozen times the first day. Called every drummer I ever knew to pass it on. As a former drummer, I just can't get enough of this version. Never heard any better,, and I'm from the 60's and grew up on Buddy Rich, John Bonham and the like. Godsmack can do it all. Check out "Until Then" and "A Different Kind of Tears" by them. You'd never believe they can cover all aspects of music.
Sully Erna (who had the bongos on his kit) is indeed the singer, on their first self released album he was also the band's drummer. They brought on Shannon Larkin in 2000, and he's one of the most amazing drummers I've ever seen, a huge influence on how I play. Probably one of the most talented drummers in the Nu Metal scene, right up there with Joey Jordinson. You should absolutely check out more of his playing.
I saw them do this live back when they opened for Metallica in 2008. It was beyond epic to see it live!!!
I respect Sully so much more as a Guitar Player, A drummer and a musician than Dave Grohl
Excellent sir
Superb!
I requested this about a week ago and BAM!!! I never thought it would ever show up in the rotation so soon!!! Thanks soooooooooo much Mr. Rooney! I was nervous that you might not like the request but I was wrong.. You are simply the best my friend!! You're my best friend! LOL.. Sully Erna is 100% Italian and started out his career as a drummer and played all the drums on Godsmacks debut album.
if you have time check my drum covers thanks
Its amazing how much talent is in the metal scene that most people dont know about.
Glad we can enjoy it tho!
This is why Godsmack live show tickets are easily worth 10 times the price you'll pay. Awesome live show, and awesome, all around performances. Sully is insane!
Yeah this is top shelf.
And fairly unique
I've seen this band from the very first album. From when Sully played just a Timbali to stand at.
$19.94 to see Godsmack, Filter, Fuel and like 3 other bands for The Hallo-weenie-roast 1999!
That's the deal of the century!
Shanon Larkin is one of my favorite drummers! Straight up beast.🤘🏻
Sully is a big fan of the band Dead Can Dance and really loves the tribal drum patterns they use. His solo album Avalon is a modern day rock version of Dead Can Dance. It's a really good record. That's where he gets a lot of his drum influence from.
Bro.....you 4ecognized Walk This Way but not YYZ..... You need to do some penance now. One month of nothing but The Professor. Good god man.
BAHAHA
I always enjoy watching this video. To me this is a rock show, full of great sound and very entertaining. Everyone gets their money's worth with this band. I wouldn't call it a drum battle, more like dual drum solo.
Def a duet as opposed to battle
It's probably already been said but the dude playing bongos and whatnot is Sully, he's the vocalist for the band and also plays guitar and writes a lot of their songs. He grew up drumming tho, played drums for a number of bands before he started Godsmack. Shannon Larkin is their drummer and he's been around for a while.
I saw Godsmack three days after 9/11, it was the first concert played anywhere after the attacks. It's a lifelong memory for me. You could feel fear, anger, sorrow, and crazy energy in the crowd all night. Absolute loudest crowd I've ever been a part of. Nobody sat down, nobody stopped screaming and singing along all night. I remember Sully saying something like "We're scared too, man, but this is all we know how to do so if we can come out here and take our minds off it for a little bit then that's what we're gonna do." They did the drum battle back then as well, different drummer at the time but still really cool to see. And yeah, loud AF. I'll never forget it.
Wow that sounds like a powerful experience!
Hey bro, fello Aucklander here 👋🏼 (I actually think we might have some friends in common lol. Anyway, I recommend checking out this chick called Brooke C doing a drum cover of Tool - The Grudge. Chur.
Yo! Thanks for the recommend!
Absolutely amazing 👏
YUP!!!
had he scrolled down on the wiki article he would have found that Sully was on drums from 96-2003, as well as singing. The sample before walk this way was YYZ by Rush.
Thank you!
Ive seen this played live in orlando florida and the power that they produced live was absolutely astonishing
Grew up watching Shannon in bar bands, he was only 15 in the early 80's... Wrathchild baby....
Oh wow. That’s awesome Carl 👌
Saw this in Roanoke, VA when they toured with Metallica. Absolutely amazing.
What I'd give to see this live James!
Drum expert: hears YYZ
"This sounds familiar."
...
1. Never said I was an expert.
2. Have you seen my vid on 'YYZ'?
I heard somewhere that Sully & Shannon have been doing this since high school. Could be 100% wrong because Shannon isn’t the original drummer but that would at least explain the tightness and complete badassery.
Absolutely tight as poss Ryan!
Shannon Larkin came around on their 3rd album. Sully did the drums on the first 2. He's great at pretty much everything, lol
Crazy good here!
The man playing the drums normally is Shannon Larkin who is also the drummer in the band Godsmack, the guy playing with his hands is Sully Erna, who is the singer in the band
Thanks Michael! 🙏
Funny how he guesses incorrectly who is the band drummer. I've seen Godsmack many times and his drum duet battle never ceases to amaze me and gives me goosebumps. Love it! Awesome band!
Yeah so good
