GODSMACK Frontman Discusses 'Speak' Video - Apr. 6, 2006
GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna recently told MTV.com that he wanted to keep things simple when it came to the video for "Speak" (audio, video), the first single from "IV", due April 25.

No bank-breaking special-effects wizardry — not even a single explosion. He didn't want the clip to correlate in any way with the song's lyrics. He just wanted it to "emphasize power, because we feel it's a powerful song," he said.

The end result, according to Erna, is "basically the white, rock and roll version of the 'bling' video," but instead of using Escalades and pimped-out Mercedes Benzes, "we brought in some awesome muscle cars and a bunch of my buddies from New England that do these amazing stunts on motorcycles, and it just became about fast cars, hot rods, burnouts, wheelies and rock and roll."

The video, which was shot March 7 off the Las Vegas Strip, features babes, tricked-out vehicles and close-up shots of scorching roads.

"We hung out for the day," Erna said. "Nothing was choreographed. It was really cool. We just got to light up the tires all day long. And as a band, the first half of the day, we got to hang around and watch these people go off on these killer machines and do the most insane stunts we've ever seen live."

You're serious? Some of you actually fell for that shit? Pathetic. And to say "Shannon is a beast on the drums!"....thats the biggest fucking joke I've ever heard. You haven't heard real drum solos. Why don't you do some studying on Nick Barker, Mike Portnoy, Vinnie Paul, or even Joey Jordison? You people are fucking retarded. Maybe someday you'll outgrow the elementary rock.

The only thing those guys need is a good smack on the head. They should not be allowed near musical instruments, mics, cameras or stages.

The drummer is acting as if he's all over the fricken kit while he's only playing a basic 4x4 beat at a slow/moderate tempo. Anyone who says Shannon is a good drummer has never seen a "real" drummer.

It's funny how he refers to the people on the video as "friends". Reality check buddy: being friends with a bunch of trailer park white trash burnouts is nothing to be proud of. Unless you're a big hick and that's what you look up to.

The band is successful because people CRAVE listening to crap and the SmackHeads are doing a pretty good job at that.

rip off artist. Does anyone ever feel like he is reaching with his lyrics. Every interview I have read he makes his life sound so bad and that he has these inner demons. Basically I think the guy is trying to create inner demons so he can seem as though he is a tortured soul. Face it Sluggy YOU ARE NOT LAYNE STALEY, you cannot write good lyrics.

I suffered the misfortune of seeing that Metallica St. shithole tour with rodsmack.. they busted out that 'dueling drums watch me beat on a bongo bullshit' and it fucking blew. So speaking from experience.. rodsmack fucking sucked. still sucks. and will keep sucking. As for metallica.. cliff burton's probably crying like hell.

The video was terrible to be honest,

Looked like a rip-off of one of Kid rocks videos.

But good song though!!!

As I said before to you fucking idiots who think godsmack is a "RIP OFF" of alice in chains. They are not trying to RIP anyone off, they are not trying to create "inner demons" Some of you are complete idiots. It's amazing how cynical people are on this site.
