So who is the song 'Cryin Like A Bitch' really about?  Sully Erna told us that he pleaded the 5th when asked if the song was about Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx.  Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin tells us who its really about in a recent video interview.  You might be surprised.

I was screwing around on YouTube when I found some great live footage from Q-Ruption this past Friday at SPAC.  If you weren't there then you can enjoy some great video shot by the awesome Q103 listeners!

Were you lucky enough to meet one of the Q-Ruption performers? If so check out our galleries after the jump and save your photos - or send the link to this article to your friends to show off that you got to meet an artist.

The only rock festival in the Albany area was a huge success - thanks to everyone who came out to see Q-Ruption at SPAC on Friday night. After the jump check out the galleries of performers Selfish Needy Creatures, Egypt Central, Sick Puppies, Skillet, Five Finger Death Punch, and Godsmack.

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.

It looks like the weather here in the Albany area is going to be filled with looming rain.  Fingers are crossed right now though that things dry out for Friday at Q-Ruption.

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.

So Q-Ruption is getting closer and closer, and you’re wondering about all sorts of things. Fear not – we have you covered. First, yours truly (Mrozek) will be broadcasting backstage @ SPAC starting at 2pm. So keep it locked on all day for up to the minute updates of what’s going on.

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.
