Izingoma zeqembu le-Godsmack zibonwa abalandeli abaningi bomculo, futhi lokhu ngokuyinhloko kungenxa yezwi eliyingqayizivele lezwi lomculi walo.
Ngokuvamile isitayela sakhe sephimbo siqhathaniswa noLane Staley odumile, owayeyilungu leqembu le-Alice in Chains. Ubuhlakani babaculi busaheha abalandeli abavela kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Abantu abaningi babala izinsuku kuze kukhishwe amarekhodi amasha. Akuwona wonke umuntu owaziyo ukuthi leli qembu lidalwe kanjani, yibuphi ubunzima ababambiqhaza abadlule kubo lapho beya esigabeni esikhulu.
Umlando wokuvela kweqembu le-Godsmack kanye nabaculi ekuqanjweni kwayo
Konke kwaqala ngomshayi wesigubhu oneminyaka engama-23 ubudala ogama lakhe lingu-Sally Erna ngo-1995. Ebusheni bakhe, wazama kokubili ukudala iqembu lakhe, futhi "wenza indlela yakhe" emaqenjini akhona, kodwa lo mfana wehluleka ukuqeda noma yimiphi imisebenzi.
Kodwa akazange alahlekelwe yinhliziyo, futhi ngokushesha wajoyina ibhendi ye-Strip Mind, aqopha nayo ngokuhlanganyela i-disc yokuqala. Ngeshwa, "yehlulekile".
Kwathatha iminyaka emibili kuphela, futhi iqembu lahlukana ngokuphelele. Lokhu kwaphoqa u-Sally ukuba ashintshe izindima, futhi wanquma ukuziqeqesha kabusha kusukela ekubeni umshayi wezigubhu ukuze abe umculi. Ngesikhashana nje, lo mfana wakwazi ukuthola abaculi abahle.
KwakunguRobbie Merrill, owathatha indima ye-bassist ebhendini, kanye nomshayi wesigingci u-Lee Richards kanye nesigubhu uTommy Stewart.
Ekuqaleni, iqembu lanquma ukuqamba igama elithi The Scam, kodwa ngemva kokukhululwa kokuqoshwa kwabo kokuqala, abaculi baqaphela ukuthi igama lalidinga ukushintshwa ngokushesha.
Bakhetha ukukhetha okwathi ngemva kwesikhashana baziwa emhlabeni wonke.
Ngenxa yobunzima ebusweni bakhe, uRichards wanquma ukushiya abangani bakhe nabalingani bakhe endimeni yomculo. Ngokushesha umculi wesigubhu uStewart naye walandela.
Ekhuluma nabezindaba, uthe isinqumo esifana nalesi sidalwa ukungaboni ngaso linye obekungalindelekile namanye amalungu eqembu lomculo.
Ngokushesha kwatholwa indawo yabo, futhi umculi onekhono uTony Rombola wangena eqenjini, futhi ngokushesha uShannon Larkin wathatha indawo kusethi yesigubhu.
Umsebenzi womculo
Ngemva kokuqopha izingoma ezimbalwa, iqembu lathatha isinyathelo sokuqala sodumo. Abaculi baqala ukumenywa ezindaweni zobumnandi zaseBoston ukuthi bazocula.
Lokhu kwabakhuthaza abafana, futhi ngokushesha bakhipha izingoma ezithi Whatever and Keep Away, okwabavumela ngokushesha ukuba bakhuphukele ezikhundleni eziphezulu kumashadi amaningi asekhaya.
Ngakho, abantu abaningi nakakhulu bafunda ngaleli qembu. Abakhiqizi nabo abazange bame eceleni futhi babehlale benesithakazelo emsebenzini wabafana.
Ngo-1996, uGodsmack wanquma ukukhipha i-albhamu yabo yokuqala, i-All Wound Up. Abafana bachitha izinsuku ezintathu kuphela kulokhu, futhi ukutshalwa kwezimali kwakuncane - ngaphezu kwama-$ 3.
Yiqiniso, abalandeli bebengahloselwe ukubona i-disc idayiswa ngemuva kokukhululwa, ngoba okokuqala yavela emashalofini esitolo eminyakeni emibili kamuva.
Isikhathi sasizuzisa kuphela, futhi abalaleli "abalambile", kanye nabagxeki, balinganisele i-albhamu ohlangothini oluhle kuphela. Ngendlela, leli rekhodi lalisendaweni yama-22 ye-Billboard 200 hit parade.
Ngo-2000, kwakhululwa i-albhamu yesibili ethi Awake. I-disc inempumelelo ebaluleke kakhulu futhi isondela endaweni yokuqala yamashadi amaningi.
Futhi ekupheleni konyaka, iqembu le-Godsmack liqokwe ngendondo yokuqala ye-Grammy. Yiqiniso, abaculi babengenayo inhlanhla, futhi abaqhudelana nabo bathatha isithombe.
Ngo-2003, eqenjini elisha kwavela isigubhu, futhi kanye naye bakhulula i-albhamu elandelayo, Faceless, eqoshwe izimo studio. Ngemva konyaka nje, wathengisa amakhophi ayisigidi futhi wayesesikhundleni sokuqala seshadi laseMelika.
Kwabe sekukhishwa elinye icwecwe elibizwa ngokuthi “IV” futhi ingoma ethi Khuluma efakwe kulo yaba yingoma eyashisa izikhotha. Khona-ke abaculi bathatha ikhefu leminyaka emithathu, base beqala ukusebenza ku-albhamu elandelayo.
Ukumiswa kweqembu
Kodwa ngokushesha "abalandeli" bafunda izindaba ezidabukisayo. Ngo-2013, uSully umemezele ukuthi iqembu lizobe limile unyaka wonke.
Akazange aqambe amanga, futhi ngo-2014 iqembu laphinde labuyela esiteji, laqopha amarekhodi amaningana, futhi elokuqala lathengiswa ngesonto elilodwa ngokusakazwa kwamakhophi angaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyi-100.
Abagxeki baphinde bakhulume kahle ngerekhodi elithi "1000 Horsepower" kuphela.
Kodwa ibhendi ikhiphe i-albhamu elandelayo ethi When Legends Rise ngo-2018 kuphela, ehlanganisa amathrekhi ahamba phambili ayi-11, okuhlanganisa ne-Bulletproof kanye ne-Under Your Scars, ethole isimo samahithi angempela.
Lenzani iqembu manje?
Ngaphandle kweqiniso lokuba khona isikhathi eside, ithimba le-Godsmack alikasuki ohlotsheni olujwayelekile nendlela yokusebenza. Manje abaculi abakhathali bajabulisa abalandeli ngezingoma ezintsha futhi banikeza amakhonsathi.
Isibonelo, ngo-2019 bavakashela amazwe e-CIS, lapho bethula khona amathrekhi amasha avela ku-albhamu ethi When Legends Rise.
