GODSMACK: Video For Cover Of THE BEATLES' 'Come Together' Released - July 30, 2012
GODSMACK's video for the band's cover version of THE BEATLES' "Come Together" can be seen below. The clip was directed by Ian Barrett and features footage of the actual recording sessions for the song. The track comes off GODSMACK's first-ever live album, "Live & Inspired", which sold around 16,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 19 on The Billboard 200 chart.

In a brand new interview with RockstarUproar.com, GODSMACK drummer Shannon Larkin said, "We love the ['Come Together'] video! It was actually filmed while we were recording 'Come Together'. Normally, the song will be recorded, and then the band will go back in the studio, put their headphones on, and pretend they're recording for the music video. This was real. It wasn't staged or anything. It's really cool. We were in Boston in January, and there were two feet of snow on the ground. We were totally in that vibe at the studio. It was awesome."

Asked what he likes the most about the music video, Larkin said, "I totally like the fact it was done while we were really recording. That's a big deal to me because most people are faking it. I like that I had a BEATLES shirt on. I had no idea we were doing the video that day. Sully [Erna, GODSMACK frontman] had hooked it all up, and he didn't tell us. [laughs] I went to record the song, and they had video cameras there. He was like, 'We're going to film today!' We didn't know if it was going to be for a music video or a DVD. I just thought we're doing a BEATLES song, I'll wear my BEATLES apple shirt. I'm a huge BEATLES fan, by the way. Obviously, all musicians are. They were one of the first bands my mom had turned me on to at a very young age. I particularly like the later version when they all had beards. I had to be rocking a beard because it was wintertime in Boston. I tend to do that. I thought, 'Wow, man, I'm totally in BEATLES mode here."'

On the topic of what GODSMACK brought to the cover, Larkin said, "In 1978, AEROSMITH, who's obviously a huge influence on us as a Boston band, covered 'Come Together' on the 'Live! Bootleg' album. We listened to that version and the original. We knew AEROSMITH added modernity and more rocking sound to THE BEATLES' version. We wanted to bring it into the 2000s with a heavier guitar tone. Tony [Rombola, guitar] wrote a more chunking riff than the AEROSMITH version. We wanted to make it GODSMACK. We approached it like, 'If we wrote the song, what would it have sounded like today?'"

The video for GODSMACK's cover of JOE WALSH's "Rocky Mountain Way" can be seen at RevolverMag.com. The song comes off GODSMACK's first-ever live album, "Live & Inspired", which sold around 16,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 19 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Released on May 15 via Universal Republic Records, "Live & Inspired" features fierce and furious live renditions of numerous hits from the Massachusetts rockers' five studio albums. Their incendiary and infectious shows have become legendary in modern rock, and they continue to impress both critics and audiences alike every time they hit the stage. The group sounds unchained on rousing performances of "Awake", "Keep Away", "Straight Out of Line", "Whatever", "Voodoo", and "I Stand Alone".

About the collection, frontman Sully Erna said, "'Live & Inspired' is our way of saying 'Thank you' to all of our fans for believing in us throughout the years, and helping us to become a great live band! Along with this ass-whooping set live from Detroit Rock City, we've also included four cover songs of our favorite hits in the past to show you that, we too, are simply just fans that appreciate nothing more than good old fashion ass-kicking rock 'n' roll! Enjoy!"

Really inspired cover choices there, Godsmack. What's next- Swingtown? Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?

well, in their defense, it doesn't suck nearly as hard as their Rocky Mountain Way cover.

the drummer in particular acquits himself pretty well.

God forbid anyone on this site like a band like Godsmack without being "untroo". It's like some of these people on here bash the band but you know they secretly like a few songs. They just jump on the bandwagon of bashing bands like Godsmack, Disturbed etc. You know it IS ok to like something besides death metal, right? Open the window to the basement once in a while.

Um, no. They're painfully bland, formulaic, and pointless nu-metal. I've always thought that they were crap and they've done their utmost to prove it. Same with Disturbed. Seriously.

You mean there's non-death metal? So, this rap I'm currently listening to doesn't count or what?

Everyone is entittled to like whatever they want, likewise everybody is entittled to dislike whatever they want. With that out of the way however; are these guys for fucking real? These fucks are bested by a Beatles cover band, the nerve to think that they can even attempt to hum the Beatles is baffling blasphemy. I've never been a big fan of Godsmack, but this shit right here just made me hate the group. Fuck Godsmack up their stupid asses. These guys are fucking clown shoes.

I accidentally turned on the radio in my Jeep the other day (always listen to cd's) and heard the "Rocky Mountain Way" cover. Geez, not good at all. The 5 finger butt munch band doing the Bad Company cover song also was not good.

Arent bands supposed to cover songs and add their own unique twist or flavor to it somehow? Sheesh. Back to my garage to clean and blast my stereo-

It's what happens when a band with crummy ideas, runs out of ideas. Damn, just how lame it was how they picked their name. No wonder poor Layne Stanley laid on the couch for 4 years and died. Don't Digum at all.

I was curious enough to listen to the 4 songs they covered. Not a fan, except the Pink Floyd cover, I thought that was kind of good honestly. Nothing Else Matters was cringe inducing, but I'm a Metallica fan so my opinion is probably quite biased to be truthful.
