Shinedown

[eXperiment63]

Ok, I searched and was amazed that nobody had made a thread dedicated to these guys. As most know, Brent Smith, is a Vocal GOD in the Rock genre. They performed a couple new songs the other night at a benefit concert. It was only Brent and Jasin, so it's all acoustic.

Re: Shinedown

I definitely agree, not the most amazing band to come out the last 10 years, but probably the most amazing vocalist for sure. A lot of my friends think their cover of "Simple Man" was really bad. I think they just don't like the idea of covering classic songs or something, cause it is probably one of the most awesome vocal performances I've ever heard.

Re: Shinedown

I love Shinedown, seen them live twice, including once before they even had their first album out. Very good live band.

Re: Shinedown

One of my favorite bands.

They're also the only band I can ever remember to cover a U2 song and actually make it sound amazing. My mom, who is a huge U2 fan, even loved the cover and she absolutely hates things like that.

Re: Shinedown

One of my favorite bands as well. Here's the cover song Longhorn is referring to.

And yes, Brent Smith is incredible.

Re: Shinedown

Thanks. I was going to post the link, but realized I didn't have it saved anymore.

Re: Shinedown

They also do an amazing cover of "Simple Man." I'm almost positive that the lead singer is Knoxville, so I've been following them for some time.

Re: Shinedown

I was admittedly late to the Shinedown bandwagon, but now they're one of the bands I can just listen to without skipping over songs
