Worth the wait!

Just watched the documentary. Really good stories. Throws a lot of different aspects of Sully's life. Not heavily deep on one topic or another. Definitely even keel storyline. Having followed the band from a far distance for many years, there's a lot I learned from the Youtube show during the pandemic and then this documentary solidified my impression filling those gaps. It's not all positive, not all negative either. I hope other fans get to enjoy the movie as much as I did. Thank you to Sully, the Erna family, the bandmates and all Sully's friends who participated in this film and a huge thank you to Godsmack. Your work on the first album and putting "Whatever" out definitely launched your career. That song is so out of this world I remembered when I first heard it in '99 on the radio, I thought "My God! What....the........hell is that?" Anyone who can write and sing that one and I stand alone from the 3rd album definitely has to be good. 7 albums and 24 years later. I loved all the other songs too. 28 Top 10 radio hits. Prop your feet on the recliner with your fiancee in your arms, Sully. My man, you got it made in the shade.
