Godsmack frontman Sully Erna told ArthurMag.com about the use of "Sick of Life" in U.S. Navy commercials: The military came to us, believe it or not.
And the women and men that go over there — or anywhere — to fight for our country and our lives and protect our freedom and I feel that.
[2] I actually sympathize with a lot of the soldiers, and the military in general, that are trained to go out and protect for us, and what they have to go through, it's really kind of shitty in a sense that these young kids have to go over there and die, sometimes, for something that isn't our problem.
[3]Some critics say that the band's young audience will now be influenced to join the military because of the popular tunes.
However, Erna doubts very seriously that a kid is going to join the Marines or the US Navy because he heard Godsmack as the underlying bed music in the commercial.
