G U C C I 5,150 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 During a new appearance on the "2020'd" podcast, GODSMACK drummer Shannon Larkin was asked if it's true that the band's frontman Sully Erna once dated pop superstar Lady Gaga. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Yeah, that's true. And that's not, I don't think, a secret. I don't think Sully would bum out if people knew he dated Lady Gaga. I mean, she's hot, and she's mega talented." "L.A. bands and West Coast dudes, they're flashier, maybe, and they're rock stars and there's more David Lee Roth than — I don't know — Eddie Vedder," Shannon explained. "You know what I mean? We're more Eddie Vedder, even though we're East Coast. We're probably even flashier than Eddie. He'll show up in an army jacket. You don't even recognize him. 'Oh my God. That's Eddie Vedder.' So we're in between them and the dudes with the flashy girls on their arms. "So, did her date her? Yeah," Larkin repeated. "But did he ever tell anyone? No — except for his friends and us. The band, we knew… It was a brief thing, by the way." Back in July 2019, Erna said that the GODSMACK ballad "Under Your Scars" was inspired by Lady Gaga. "This song came to me shortly after I had spent some quality time with someone who I consider a dear friend, and have grown to admire and respect as one of the smartest and most talented artists today, Stefani Germanotta, who most of you may know as Lady Gaga," Sully said in a statement at the time. "In the short amount of time we hung out, she made me realize that we all have these imperfections, these wounds that we carry (whether they're physical or emotional) that cut so deep they can cripple us. These feelings leave us vulnerable, or embarrassed, or even unworthy at times. And our human nature — when they're exposed — is to shut down, rather than embrace them and realize that not only can we overcome them, but we can also become an inspiration to inspire others to have a voice and find their inner strength to show their scars off loudly and proudly to the world. Our 'Scars' are nothing more than our battle wounds from life and they helped mold you into who you are today." Sully wrote the song himself and it is really beautiful and also a RIAA certified gold single for the band. Spoiler Lyrics: Do we make sense? I think we do In spite of everything that we've been through Oh, when you say black and I say white It's not about who's wrong As long as it feels right Don't think those stars won't align Under your scars I pray You're like a shooting star in the rain You're everything that feels like home to me, yeah Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time If you'd only let me live inside of mine Live inside of mine Wish you were here Right beside me So I could watch you sleep Hold your body closer, breathe you deep And everything feels broken When you're not next to me Would you still be you If we weren't we? Under your scars I pray You're like a shooting star in the rain You're everything that feels like home to me, yeah Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time If you'd only let me live inside of mine So hey, if you feel like coming down If you feel like coming around Just call my name out loud, na, na, na Hey, if you feel like coming down If you feel like coming around Just call my name out loud, na, na, na, hey Under your scars I pray You're like a shooting star in the rain You're everything that feels like home to me, yeah Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time If you'd only let me live inside of mine Live inside of mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Gaga really does live such a full life behind the scenes so well and gravitates to people who do the same. Taylor Kinney just happened to be an exception for her. I know that it is none of our (my) business but I am always fascinated by information into her love life like this. I don't know if it is because I am the same age as her or what but who she dates and spends time with always captures my curiosity . 2 minutes ago, ARTBOP said: "In the short amount of time we hung out, she made me realize that we all have these imperfections, these wounds that we carry (whether they're physical or emotional) that cut so deep they can cripple us.

AshIey 7,872 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The part about her inspiring his writing was beautiful. And they only dated for a brief period, she must have left quite an impression on him. Anyone that gets to know her in anyway on a personal level is so lucky.
