After 5 bands performed at Q-Ruption, around 10:09pm the SPAC PA system blared AC/DC "For Those About To Rock", the lights went dark and Godsmack took the stage. Frontman Sully Erna screamed into the mic "We didn't bring any pyro's, no light show, or videos just kick ass rock and f-ing roll" They certainly didn't disappoint!
Before the artists took the stage to tear it up at Q-Ruption they made a pit stop to our backstage Q103 studio at SPACto sit down and chat with Mrozek and hang out a little before the big show. After the jump check out some great interviews from Skillet, The Sick Puppies and Sully Erna of Godsmack!
Be ready for a Q-Ruption! The summer's only rock festival is Friday August 19th at SPAC starring Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Skillet, Sick Puppies, Egypt Central plus local band Play for the Stage winner: Selfish Needy Creatures. The parking lot opens at 4pm, gates are at 5pm. What time does your favorite band hit the stage? We have the set times.
I could have gone with top 5 albums or videos, but I went with singles in the hopes that Sully will take an interest in little ole Dru and indulge my need to hear these live when they come to town for Q-Ruption next week. Let us begin.
We are just about a week away from Q103's Q-Ruption and I am getting pumped for all the bands. So why not get a taste of what is to come by checking out some of their live performances from the past?
Godsmack front man Sully Erna took 10 minutes out of his busy schedule to talk to us regarding his Avalon solo project, and Godsmack as well as what we can expect when Godsmack headlines Q-ruption August 19th at SPAC plus he reveals who exactly 'Cryin Like a Bitch' is written about. If you missed the interview in its entirety click thru to hear it.
Sully Erna, front man from Godsmack is sometimes misunderstood. I don't know how people can say this - Sully is driven and successful at just about everything he does. He is a perfectionist. How can you not be, he runs one of the biggest bands in rock music. Godsmack will be the headliner at the Q103 Q-Ruption August 19th at SPAC and I was able to talk to him not only about the upcoming show and the band, but other things you may not know about him.
Honestly, this may have been the first band competition I’ve ever been a part of where I can say that I thought all 3 bands were great!
If you haven't been to a Godsmack show you really haven't been to a rock show. Godsmack is headlining the Q103 Q-Ruption Rock Festival with Five Finger Death Punch, Skillet, Sick Puppies and Egypt Central August 19th at SPAC. Sully Erna, Godsmack frontman was asked what he thinks makes a great concert or performance and he is confident you will rock hard at Q-Ruption.
If you're looking forward to Q103's Q-Ruption, you might want to catch Faceless (a Godsmack tribute) tonight at Savannah’s. It’s a special edition of Q103’s Late Night Happy Hour.
