With years of success as a member of Godsmack and a burgeoning solo career, Sully Erna is being honored by Gibson with his own signature guitar. The legendary guitar makers recently revealed their Sully Erna Les Paul Studio model.

In the wake of the tragic bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15, the local community has sprung into action, raising funds for those impacted by the devastation. Now, several bands with ties to the bay state are stepping up to participate in the ‘Boston Strong: An Evening of Support and Celebration’ benefit show on May 30 at the TD Garden, with net ticket proceeds donated to The One Fund Bos

The lineup for the 2013 Heavy MTL festival has been revealed, with Avenged Sevenfold, Rob Zombie, Megadeth and Godsmack leading the way. This year's event is scheduled for August 10 and 11 at Montreal's Parc Jean-Drapeau and will feature two solid days of metal and hard rock acts.

The annual Rock USA Festival set for this summer in Oshkosh, Wis., has expanded to a four-day event this year, scheduled for July 17-20. The nonstop rock fest that promises to “break a few rules” just announced its lineup with an eclectic mix of headliners ranging from Avenged Sevenfold and Godsmack to Bret Michaels and Van Halen.

Godsmack's planned year-long break in the schedule is not only giving frontman Sully Erna a chance to pursue his solo career, but he's also taking the time to revive one of his other passions -- poker.

Godsmack may be taking some time off, but that doesn't mean that Sully Erna is slowing down any. The vocalist has just announced six new East Coast solo shows where he'll continue to promote his 'Avalon' solo album.

While Godsmack spent much of 2012 out on the road as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival with Shinedown and the Mass Chaos tour with Staind, the band is set to enjoy some downtime in 2013.

After announcing his participation in the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll marathon a couple of months ago, Godsmack frontman Sully Erna has been forced to pull out of the Nov. 11 race as the result of an unspecified injury.

Godsmack singer Sully Erna is extending the life of his 'Avalon' solo album with a limited edition box set. Only 5,000 copies of the collection will be sold, and Erna had done his best to pack the box sets full of material that will bolster its value for those who purchase it.

Godsmack have always been vocal about how much of an influence Pantera had on their career and so it seemed only fitting that when the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival rolled into Pantera’s home state of Texas that the band would pay homage to them at some point during the night.

Godsmack’s Sully Erna may be in one of the grittiest rock bands out there, but the rocker is showing off his softer side as he participates in an upcoming event, raising money for children’s charities.

Rock’s biggest bands are gathering to tear down Las Vegas this September, and we want you to be a part of it.

Not many drummers can say they’ve had the opportunity to play for the legendary Black Sabbath but Godsmack‘s Shannon Larkin holds that honor and considers it to be one of the best things that ever happened to him.

Vegas baby! It’s time to double-down on hard rock, as the Rock Vegas festival will take over Sin City for two days on Sept. 28 and 29 at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort. The event will feature such topline acts as Rob Zombie, Shinedown, Marilyn Manson and Godsmack.

We recently reported that Godsmack nixed of a few European dates due to frontman Sully Erna’s unidentified vocal troubles, but now the band has canceled the rest of the scheduled shows on their European trek.

Godsmack’s new disc ‘Live & Inspired’ features performances from collection from the band’s 2010 concert at Detroit’s Fox Theater and a handful of cover songs, including the Joe Walsh classic ‘Rocky Mountain Way.’

Shinedown, Godsmack, Staind and Papa Roach lead the lineup for the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival tour, which also features a number of other hit-making rock acts.

Last week, 10 lucky citizens were chose to 'Meet Chaos', in which they won tickets to the Mass Chaos Tour featuring Godsmack, Staind and Halestorm and also a meet and greet with all 3 bands. Each citizen was also allowed to bring a guest.

Since Godsmack rocked the Cajundome last night, it is appropriate that I give you the official tracklisting for their upcoming cover/live album 'Live & Inspired'. It will be released on May 15th and features the cover of Joe Walsh's 'Rocky Mountain Way'. You can view the full tracklisting after the jump.

Godsmack, Staind and Halestorm give you a peek behind (and in front of) the curtain with a new video diary documenting the kickoff of the Mass Chaos tour.
