Godsmack front man Sully Erna was involved in a car crash on Wednesday that has left a 25-year-old woman in critical condition in a Boston, Massachusetts hospital. The rocker’s Hummer H3 collided with a Toyota Camry near Boston, leaving Lyndsay Taylor with life-threatening injuries.
Jessica Benson is in a coma and on life support, according to EagleTribune.com. She was sitting in the back seat of the Camry when Erna’s vehicle rear-ended the car. Reports suggest she was taken to Lawrence General Hospital and later airlifted to a Boston hospital for further treatment after firefighters used power tools to free Taylor from the Camry.
Next time, don’t use the Lord’s name in vain when choosing a band name
Looks like GOD put the SMACK down on you!

Don’t be so small-minded!
Comment by geo on 18 April 2007:
Its religious freaks like you that give religion a bad name. Who fucking cares if the bands name is “god”smack?!! I’m pretty sure God has other things on his mind then a couple of dudes naming their bad after him. Get a life!
Comment by jealousy1099 on 19 April 2007:
A name is a name. It has no effect. Closed-minded people put too much into stuff like this. I’m sure Sully is having a hard enough time coping with such a tragedy, without people like you giving him shit about his band’s name.

How very sad to be so worried about the band name instead of worrying about the injured girl. I’m sure Jesus and God would approve right? Oh wait… forgiveness…where have I seen that word before? Oh that’s right! I know! THE BIBLE. How about you try reading it before you put words in God’s mouth you moron?
Here’s a little quote to get you started: Judge not, lest you be judged.

Glad to see the four responses were all in favor for godsmack……not for this retard who obviously doesn’t know crap.
Comment by neecy on 23 April 2007:
Well, as you can see, this person obivously has no legit reply to all these comments. An accident is just that, an accident! Let’s just hope that it all works itself out for everyone involved.
Godsmack 4ever!
Comment by Myles Landing on 24 April 2007:
I know Sully, and he is an arrogant asshole who should be thankful that nobody was killed. I hope that his next album and subsequent tours proceeds all go to the accident victims, and that this incident brings him back down to earth.
This has nothing to do with the band name, which, incidentally was an Alice in Chains song. This prick better pray to the Wiccan Gods he worships that he not take life for granted…especially other peoples…
Comment by neecy on 24 April 2007:
How do you know Sully, Myles? Where you the fat kid that was picked on in school? And don’t confuse arrogance for rightfully earned true pride. Do you know the true details of the accident that you can be so judgemental?
Comment by Anonymous on 26 April 2007:
I do know the details of the accident so I can judge! I can’t give specifics, but I work for the insurance agency of one of the parties involved. The Toyota was stopped at a stop sign when Sully plowed into the back of it. He didn’t even try to slow down because there weren’t any tire marks. His Hummer drove right up onto the back of the car and now people are saying that he is traumatized? What about the passenger? What about the driver that had to watch the passenger bleeding from serious head wounds while rescue workers tried to free her?
Comment by neecy on 27 April 2007:
No one is saying that it’s not valid that people were injured. All I’m saying is that people are quick to judge others without facts. As for you, being involved as you are, you should not be saying ANYTHING, anonymous or not, you are abusing your position.
Comment by Loran on 4 May 2007:
the meaning of the name godsmack is about karma. The name actually stems from Sully Erna taking jabs at a fellow bandmate for having a sore on his lip for a photo shoot, after days of harrassment, Sully came to practice with the same sore on his lip. This my friends is a “Godsmack” so it’s actually not a spiteful name at all, it’s actually acknowledging God as a strong power.
P.S. the bible that I have read states over and over again that the lord shows no vengence, so your claim MAKES NO SENSE! I believe the bible reads that God loves and protects us all….
Comment by neecy on 7 May 2007:
Thank you, Loran
Comment by Loran on 8 May 2007:
This whole blog just gets me all enticed! How can anyone sit around and judge someone for getting into a car accident! Shit happens especially in cities like Boston I’m from SF and I know with city driving sometimes shit just happens! whether u r a multimillionaire should not have anything to do with the fact that u r human and humans make mistakes. and as for the namesless one above coming in here and talking about his work, is a serious violation of code, and could result in an IP tracing and problems with their given firm. It is not fair to release info about people and talk smack when you should certinaly know better! Accidents happen and for all of you who are so worried about people’s souls in here perhaps you should follow that fire in your hearts and pray for those involved instead of being hateful. It’s awful that people insist on being so spiteful out of jealousy also.
Comment by Sarah on 9 May 2007:
That person who says they works for the insurance agency of one of the parties involved is hilarious. No way would any insurance agent go posting that crap about their clients on the internet.
It is quite amazing how judgmental religious people are. What a shame.
Sully is a rock god!
Comment by Loran on 10 May 2007:
agreed, thank you! It’s amazing how religious people will truly disgrace themselves by making outrageous claims and as for mr. insurance agent, while were at it did I ever tell ya about the time I invented snowboarding! I also have a nice little sandbox in Florida to sell ya!
Comment by Patty on 20 May 2007:
You people are the reason society is how it is. You blame it all on music and religon. God had nothign to do with what had happend. Your going to get yours someday you just see.
Comment by Paige on 23 May 2007:
I just met Sully at their show in Philadelphia at the Tower Theater on 5/22. He is a total arrogant asshole.
We paid $195 per person for the all access to meet the band and he acted like he didn’t want to be there wouldn’t speak was a total jerk!
Comment by anon on 31 May 2007:
I just wanted to say that for everyone calling Sully an arogant asshole, get a life!!! You met him at a concert ok you mean where people are constatnly throwing themselves at him or trying to get past security to get him. Yeah if he took the time to sit down and talk with every drooling fan he wouldn’t have time to write music or anything else. Your talking about someone who had to move from one house to another beceause fans kept driving down his driveway just to get look at his house or maybe him. And as far as the accident I’m sorry for the girl and her family but like was already said An ACCIDENT is just that an accident. I’m sure that Sully is feeling bad enough wihtout idiots needing to spend their time bashing them and thinking they know all about him!
Comment by Andrew on 18 June 2007:
God punished the lead singer by putting someone else in a life threatening condition, and leaving him with a split lip?? Stupid!! This is the daftest post EVER.
Comment by SeaRaven on 30 June 2007:
I meet Sully in Tampa, and he was not arrogant at all. No time to talk, too many others to take pictures with and meet and a concert to put on, geez…. isn’t that what you went to the show for in the first place?
And the girl has a name it’s Lidsey, and I’m sure that Sully knows it well and cares deeply what is going on with her. He is a wiccan and as so it is his nature and duty to care.
I’m sad for Lindsey and hope that all is going well for her, and she recovers fully. Accidents are just that as many others have said. Life is all one big lesson for us all, Sully and Lindsey included.
It must be lonely and sad to be the owner of this page as they really have missed the point.

Comment by chelle on 22 July 2007:
You fuckin idiots, the phrase “god smack” is something meaning “what goes around comes around”. It was chosen as the band name after Sully had been “god smacked”. He was making fun of one the guys for having a cold sore, and then ended up getting a cold sore himself. Someone in the band said he had been god smacked, it’s a karma kinda thing.
It has nothing to do with religion at all, quit being such fucking bible thumpers and seeing what you WANT to see… see what’s really there instead.

Comment by baby girl on 12 September 2007:
I have met sully 3 times. the first time i didnt pay a cent and he talked to me and my family for like 5 minutes. he patted my little girl on the head and told her how cute she was. he even posed for a picture and told us to bring the kids to a park to play. the second time he was a making music sounds with his mouth like he was getting pumped for the show and he told us to have a good time at the show. the third time i asked if i could wear his hat and he said no and he said not till after the shower and i said i already took a shower today and he said no we have to take a shower together. i am wonderin whats gonna happen next time?? anyways he is a person who cares about people and im sure he was real bummin about the situation and for your info the girl has been out of the hospital for sometime now. she is able to write on her myspace page. god was with her and helped her get out of the hospital. i do not know the extent of her injuries.
Comment by godsmack on 3 October 2007:
christianity is a sin in itself become a wiccan
Comment by Alfanzo Lorenzo on 18 October 2007:
1. this had NOTHING to do with God punishing anyone, he just dosn’t do that.
2. it’s not God’s smack it’s Godsmack. They are called this because it’s like the opposite of karma, not to be disgraceful to God
3. Sully Erna IS God. or a God.
4. No way, I do not believe he is an arrogant asshole.
5. Godsmack is amazing fools, and if you don’t agree then okay fine go cut yourself with a fucking dagger.

EXCUSE ME FOR THE YAHOO’S WHO DOESN’T KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD GODSMACK! I KNOW SULLY PERSONALLY AND THE IDIOTS THAT SAY STUPID SHIT BECAUSE OF A NAME OF THE BAND KRAMA WILL GET U
Comment by shane on 30 December 2007:
read the book moron its not a religious thing the name comes from karma if you do something wrong you get godsmacked in return dont assume
Comment by Me on 31 January 2008:
I was never a fan of Godsmack, but for Christ’s sakes (haha, like how I put that in there???) leave him alone. Can you imagine the shit he’s gonna have to go through??? And as for Myles, there are no Wiccan Gods. They worship a number of gods from a number of pagan religions!!! Not one set…
Comment by Me on 31 January 2008:
And to freedomofspeechcuntface (clever name), believe it or not, but some Wiccans don’t believe in everything so literally, as do many christains. So even if religion is made up, that is not going to stop wiccans from practicing, because religion is an entirely personal experience. I am personally an Irish Celtic Reconstructionist (don’t ask), and I do believe in my Gods literally, but freedom of speech is never very good laced with ignorance, as in your case.
