:laughing:

I'm not a fan of godsmack at all, but the person doing that interview was a complete ****. Turns what is supposed to be an interview to get his political agenda out there and completely grills him.

I would have walked out on him. Or punched him. Either/or.

hahahahhaha...oh my god, Sully got owned like noone got owned before...hahahahahahhaa...man, what a retard....
no you wouldn't, you would stay and intelligently explain and elaborate your points of view.

:laughing:

If only every interviewer had balls like this guy...

the guy was a tosspot, a tosspot i would have trounced in that arguement. :)

What an ass, no wonder they are (apparently) not that popular. I hate douches like that who try attack a band for their opinions. Like what Sully said, "there is no right and wrong opinion".

yes there is...

then how would you class the right one, your opinion? the opinion of the general population? or maybe what the bible considers a moral way to live maybe?...

there is no universal law that can tell you whats right and wrong in every case scenario...

the right "opinion" is that americans should not have gone in Iraq and that musicians shouldn't endorse the military.

a) that i believe is infact just YOUR opinion.
b) godsmack didn't ferociously endorse the military, that was some prat twisting the guys word, (by the way i've NEVER heard this band, so this isn't a desperate fan)

and... *drum roll*

c) what with the war in iraq, it can be argued either way and there's a lot of different opinions, you can't just say 'i'm right' , well, you can but you'd just be ignorant if you did.
right now im reading an 11 page summary of why 'bush attacked his own people, and the 9/11 was an american government conspiracy, and there's nothing to say this is true or false, just how i interprite it. i personally find it a little farfetched but i mean seriously....what's being put out by the government isn't NECESSARILY true, and i can't sit here and with such a large mistrust of the press say i'd even form an opinion on the iraq war, if there were nuclear weapons then i think the war was just, and that's MY opinion.

point is the guy wasn't there to interview the band, he was there to enforce his opinions onto a band and take them by surprise so he could make a desperate attempt to twist everything he could into anti-godsmack propaganda, he was a ****...

if every interviewer had "balls" like this guy, bands wouldn't do interviews because they are doing that ****whole of a magazine or e-zine a favor.

Why do interviews at all if you`re scared of a few 'difficult' questions ?

those were barely questions, just a full frontal assult on a band that thought they we're there to talk about their band..

If the questions were so stupid he could have just answered then rationally rather than get worked up & start shouting

he got worked up half way through when he realised the guy had twisted everything he'd said, the guy even says he had him on tape, the guy basically interviewed them with the intent to make them look like ****s and promote his magazine through it, there was no interest in the band, therefore the guy was an aRse...am i the only one who can see that??

no there isn't

i already told him that...

although your reply would have been easier to type..:(

by attacking iraq ( unprovoked and without the permission of the UN ) the united states has broken half a dosen international laws. that means it was wrong.

wars are wrong no matter what the justification is. sending young americans to die for something that doesn't concern them is wrong. saying that by attacking iraq, the us was protecting itself and the freedom of it's citizens is wrong, there is no such thing as preemptive defense.

musicians shouldn't get involved in politics, godsmack did that by allowing their music to be used to promote the military and it's actions ( to make killing other innocent people somehow more attractive ).

i'm right, you and godsmack are wrong.....see? easy as that...

Allowing the army to use your music in it's commercials is hardly getting involved in politics. Have you seen the commercials? If that's promoting their actions....well, i don't know, but it's not.

And international laws are bs. I won't even get started. The topic is on the interview, and the guy asking those questions was a complete ****hole.

Um, you listen to green day. How is having an anti-military stance different from having a pro-military stance? Double standard much?

I'm with alejo on this, the guy is a total ass.

it is getting involved in politics,you can't just let the army use your music for promotional purposes without thinking about the implications and cosequences. and he did in fact try to justify america's involvement in the war ( with the same lame ass "they're fighting for our freedom" excuse) thus giving the usage of the music a political background.

and i think the interviewer asked genuine questions, it wasn't his fault that Sully is a dumb fuck and a complete whore who would sell his music to the highest bidder.

I wouldn't call it balls id call it arrogant. Sully was being pretty well mannered about most of that. the guy let his song be used by the navy and now hes the cause of the war. that guys sucks.

I would have punched the interviewer in the face personally, the guy was a complete tool.

Please tell every faggot band that makes anti-political music 10 times more pollitical than this in a very trendy way to shut the fuck up.

Have you seen the commercial? Did you know that surprising as it sounds, you can actually support the troops and not support the war? Lending them the song would be supporting the troops, not pushing a political agenda.

And he tried to justify the actions after the douche started asking question after question and bringing up old quotes of his, etc. The Godsmack guy didn't start the interview with the idea of pushing his political ideas on to others. Unfortunately, the interviewer did.

moley and godsmack are right....adidasss is wrong, see? easy as that. :D

They aren't right, just not wrong. The fact the interviewer thought he was right was why it was such a fucking stupid interview.

must you? i was insulting one of his previous posts. and they're opinions on the war as long as they're not provoked to publicise them (as they were here) are their own opinions....

If every interviewer had balls like that guy, only bands who don't know what the hell they're talking about wouldn't do interviews.

He may have taken it a little too far, but it would still be nice to have interviewers that do something besides ask the same questions that everyone else does whilst sucking the band members' ****s.

What kind of person calls their kid Sully?
Sounds a bit like slurry which is too close to shit for my liking.
But appropriate given we`re talking about Godsmack here.

then come up with new, interesting questions by all means, just dont bombard them with political slander and enforce your own opinions like a git!

Oh dear I just sullied my underpants.

See what I mean?

i have no problem asking different questions, but he was asking him the questions in order to get HIS OWN point of view out. not the pov of godsmack.

There's nothing wrong with pointing out a musician's hypocrisy or erroneousness. I'd much rather see an interviewer do that than ignore the fact that the the musician's statement was asinine and shove the musician's **** even further down his/her throat.

yeah, dumb people do that, get agitated when someone makes them realize how stupid they are.

it was a personal attack in an attempt to promote his own magazine with filthy godsmack slander, the guy was a nob! i cant stress that last bit enough...

I hate people like that pussy doin' that interview. He's the type of person that uses other people's hard work to get known. I have mad props for Godsmack, not just for their music, but for what they've accomplished. I gotta give dues to Sully, he kept his cool with that better than I would've.
This guy ain't got balls. He wouldn't have gone on like that to Sully's face, I guarantee that. Hell, I'd bet my bank account to say that he wouldn't go off on me like that.
You dumb ***, the military PAID Godsmack for the song, if it was to promote them they wouldn't have had to pay for it.
(No bull****, no sarcasm)You gotta love our mods, they are f**king brilliant! Go you!
You's crazy Croation! Your country's a bunch of pussies. Just recently winning your independence, you bitches couldn't fight off one platoon of American soldiers. You don't know jack s**t about war!
The Canadians are smarter than the damn Cohatian!
Like you?

He's got more balls than most other interviewers.

How do you know what he was attempting to do? That's right, you don't.

It wasn't a personal attack. The interviewer said nothing about Sully's private life.

How do you figure?

That's not an answer, that was generic as f*ck. This guy's got no more balls than any other. In fact, I'd say he was more of a puss for his method. Dude couldn't ask him these questions in person, wouldn't have if givin' the opportunity. He also didn't plan on it to begin with. He knew as well as you do that if he'd of turned Sully's(or any other man's) words on him like that he'd of either got his a** beat right then or once the tape recorder stopped.
