Appearances
"I Stand Alone" was featured on the soundtrack to the 2002 film The Scorpion King. About the song, Sully Erna told LAUNCH Media, "It's like a prequel to the movie The Mummy Returns. It happens 5,000 years ago in ancient Egypt--5,000 years prior to, you know? They sent a script and they sent a trailer, and that's kind of what it was based on--was about the character in the movie."
One fan of that song is Dwayne Johnson, also known by his former ring name "The Rock", star of The Scorpion King. He says Erna's study of the film's theme and story led to the creation of a great song. "Godsmack sat down with Chuck Russell, the director, and Chuck laid out the entire story and what my character was all about, and Sully wrote the song. That's what makes the song so great. When you see that on the trailer, "I Stand Alone", that's a hot, hot song, and very indicative of what the character's all about," the Rock says.
The song was also featured in the video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, used both for its trailer and the ingame music that mimics the song. The main theme of the game revolves around the Prince trying to change his fate all by himself, while the Time Guardian known as the Dahaka tries to end his life. "I Stand Alone" is also the entrance song of Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt as well as former Boston Red Sox pitcher Craig Hansen.
On January 20, 2009, the song became available for download in the Rock Band series, marking the first time Godsmack is represented in a music video game.
The song also featured in 2005 film Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis.
The song featured in video game Rock Band Unplugged as a DLC.
