My band opened for Shinedown back in I think late 2003 or early 2004. We had just done our soundcheck and were hanging around the club, and this guy came up to us, and was visibly inebriated. He mumbled something about hoping he could find the right guy he had to talk to, I asked him who he was looking for, and he just giggled and walked away. A few hours later, we did our set, unloaded from the stage, and were waiting for Shinedown to go on. Lo and behold, that completely messed up guy was Brent, the singer. He put on one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen. Everything was on point and he had that place wrapped around his finger. It was simply amazing. None of us had any idea what any of them looked like.
One of the best hard rock songs ever. By one of the greatest rock bands ever. Just like Metallica, ShineDown gets better with age. Their music matured with them. Even now they'll throw back the switch. Remind us all they can go hard with anyone. Sound of Madness is a must have. One of those songs that will stand the test of time.
Definitely a band they need to go see!! I have been lucky to see them twice and would go every time they are within reasonable distance to go watch the mastery of Shinedown‼️💯🔥
My favorite Shinedown song, followed closely by Second Chance and If You Only Knew. To me, Sound of Madness is the ultimate been there, done that song, as in don't complain to me, because I literally wrote the book on whatever it is.
@@scottwilson3741 Your so lucky 🍀 I would give anything to meet Brent. He just seems so down to earth doesn’t have the big head like a lot of rock singers.
@@Terri6868 when I met him he was just starting out I guess, or hadn't been at it long anyways. This was probably around '99 so I couldn't speak 2 how he is now but he did also give us a cpl CDs. He really only came 2 us, I think, because he saw security stop me & my friend from starting a mosh pit lol
This song is an early song. I saw them in concert last August, they were awsome. They been going for 20yrs. Have a new album 💿 called Planet 🌍 Zero, it’s about the pandemic & mental health. Brent Smith is the singer should check out some of the newer songs. Cut the Cord,” Get Up 🆙” Monsters,” Devil,” How did you Love,” Call me,” 2nd Chance,” they have so many great songs. They have more hits on the rock charts than any other band. ❤️🔥
“Got the weight of world on my… SHOULDERS!!!!!” 😂 this was my first shinedown song, I think, either this or 45, not sure which came first, but I do know I loved them from the first time I heard them to now and probably forever.
My thoughts while listening to this song has always been that he's fighting back against depression and dark days, and calling upon others to do the same.
I missed this stream. so happy you guys got to do another shinedown song. they are one of my favorites. they get hate in alot of streams because they are so popular and radio friendly. they have so many great songs. looking forward to watching you guys hear the rest. love you both.
I mean when you’re as good as shinedown you get on the radio, they can’t help it that they’re one of the best rock bands to come out in the last 20 years. Plus I think a lot of people relate to the lyrics (I know I do) and Brent is such a force of positivity!
This whole album is great, start to finish. This album will always hold a special place in my heart as it got me through a very personally difficult deployment to Iraq in 2009! Shinedown is so great!! Touches the soul!
To me, it sounds like a message to the self-loathing and self-destructive type. To get over our "woe-is-me" attitude and fight for our own joy and peace, cause no one else is gonna do it for us. If so, that's definitely relatable for me.
I just saw them in concert with The Pretty Reckless. Great show, they sound amazing live! Wait, did I see Brad bouncing and rocking out for this song? Quiet, stoic, and analyzing Brad was bouncing around?
Moms diggin the music. I had a hard time when I started listening to "growler" singers, then I got it. Mom will adapt, she digs the music, soon her playlists will change lol.
Old school Shinedown was HARD. They had ballads, to be sure, but right up until Attention Attention they were pretty hardcore rock. After that, they tended to be a little more poppy, but I still love their music. I got to meet Brent (the lead singer) at a Caroliona Rebellion festival years ago. I told him how Shinedown's music pretty much kept me from going crazy when I was deployed, and he came around the table and gave me the biggest hug, despite there being a huge line behind me to get autographs. A really cool guy.
LOVE me some Shinedown and Brent Smith 😍😘🥰❤️💋. I’m a 60, 70, 80, and early 90’s ROCKER. Absolutely no other genre of music will do. For a 90’s band, they are insanely great. His voice ❤. You should listen to his remake of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s most popular songs Simple Man. Only Brent could do that song the justice it deserves. I’ll always love me some kick ass Rock and Roll ❤. Man, I’m getting old. That’s ok. At least I lived in the best eras of freaking rock and roll 🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘❤! Rock on people, until next time around 😉!
I was fortunate enough to see them live last week. That makes my third time seeing them and they just get better each and every time! They closed the concert out with this one and it was perfection. Per. Fec. Tion.
"Crow and Butterfly" is beautiful and "Monsters" is awesome...There really isn't a bad Shinedown song...The lead singer and lead guitarist also have a side project called "Smith & Myers"...you can react to "Not Mad Enough" and "Bad at Love"...
**does her happy dance** Yay!! I missed the livestream, so this is awesome! I'm starting to feel like every day is my birthday. This reaction was so dope! So you got Brad doin the Brad 😎, right? He's smilin. He has accepted that Lexi is gonna be in his space if she's feelin it, and he rocks along if the groove grabs him. Then you got my spirit animal ❤. Ooh girl! You remind me so much of my younger self, it's ridonkulous! You make my heart smile. And saving the best for last, we have a woman I've never met but feel indebted to & who has my utmost respect. Mama Lex, I'm sure you know this already, but you were blessed with a unicorn for a daughter. Your daughter is a breath of fresh air. From one mother to another, I salute you ❤. I also see where she gets it. The harder rock is a bit of an acquired taste, but I could tell you were feelin it & that's what counts. The only part of the song the kids didn't quite catch was the "for yourself" after he sings "fight." It's very much a song about self-confidence and taking life by the reins which any woman that has earned being called Mama and not just Mom can agree is what we all want for our babies. 🦸🏻♀️ Happy Mother's Day to you a few days early. Y'all as a trifecta are pawsitively 🐾 awesome. P.L.U.R.R. (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, and Responsibility) from Texas.
It's so weird Lex doesn't care about lyrics at all or doesn't even try to listen. She is absolutely confused that her mom wants to feel and hear the lyrics.
Let me just say, I stumbled onto your RUclips today and I'm glad I did. You absolutely earned a subscribe. Thanks for being so open and being yourselves on these. I would humbly request Shinesdown's I'll Follow You. Means a ton for me personally and as I was writing. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what else you have coming.
One of Florida's finest bands!!!!! Jacksonville, Florida baby! I'm in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I dig your reactions!!!!! Do some Nonpoint!!! They're from Fort Lauderdale.
@@diveplane05 yes I like them suggestions also “Bullet With A Name”,”Ruthless”, “F**cked” also their version of “ In The Air Tonight”!! Been Rocking with them for quite some time‼️💯🔥🤘🏼
Brent Smith is a lyrical genius. Not my favorite song by them but Shinedown is a really good band. Def should check out their older stuff (45, Save Me, Fly From the Inside, etc...)
Easily ranks in their top 5 best. Such a rocking song.

Hard for Shinedown? Lex, you just don’t know. These guys flat out rock! They are very versatile in the music they write. These dudes can take a pile of shit and turn it into gold. I’ve never heard a bad song from them.
My band opened for Shinedown back in I think late 2003 or early 2004. We had just done our soundcheck and were hanging around the club, and this guy came up to us, and was visibly inebriated.

Do "Crow and Butterfly", "Second Chance", "Burning Bright" "Call Me", "Monsters" and " Diamond Eyes" They bringin ALL the hits!
Diamond eyes for sure!
Amen To That !!!
Nice training song , miss this.❤️
Yes Burning Bright. 3rd verse is serious.
Any Shinedown song! Shit is fire. Been a fan since I was itty bitty
You oughta see them live. They're incredible.
I got to see them last week and they most definitely did not disappoint! My favorite band!
@@mosoho YES. So great. Hard rockin band! I saw them a few weeks ago for the third time. 😊
@@hughring they are one of those bands that I will see each time they are even remotely close to me!
Yes saw them with Godsmack a few years ago, never had really heard of them except a song or two, since that show I've dove in and became a fan
Seen them a few weeks ago in Houston with jelly roll. Was a bad ass show
Guys, this band is one of the best bands you can see in concert!!!! Being a local Florida band you should really go see them in person
Getting to see them again in June when they play with Iron Maiden in Belfast 😁
So cool to see Brad smile and LIKE the music. I love seeing Lex’s mom. Funny when Brad said he saw her sporting the “stank face!”

Shinedown tours extensively, so you guys should get to a live show. They are so good live, the energy is amazing.
This song in particular, the energy is insane!
Yes I agree they should go. I saw them last August loved it ❤️🔥
Definitely a band they need to go see!!
I have been lucky to see them twice and would go every time they are within reasonable distance to go watch the mastery of Shinedown‼️💯🔥

I met Brent in a club in Knoxville when he was fronting a band called Dreve. He even bought me & my friend a cpl beers. Super cool dude
Yes If you only knew is a great song and brings out Emotions.
@@scottwilson3741 Your so lucky 🍀 I would give anything to meet Brent. He just seems so down to earth doesn’t have the big head like a lot of rock singers.

Watching Lex couch dancing was a blast.
Tons of great Shinedown tunes. Looking forward to hearing more!
The songs about fighting in everyday life. I've seen Shinedown 8 times lol and he’s for sure said that
Heroes
Devour
Bully
Cut the Cord
Devil

A good Shinedown song. A great Showndown song to react to is Monsters. Be sure to play the video for it.
"Fly From The Inside" is my favorite from Shinedown!! Probably a little heavier than this one, crank it to 12!!!! 🤘
“Got the weight of world on my… SHOULDERS!!!!!” 😂 this was my first shinedown song, I think, either this or 45, not sure which came first, but I do know I loved them from the first time I heard them to now and probably forever.
Yes! Bring on ALL THE SHINEDOWN!
Banger,🤟 Monsters is another Banger.
My thoughts while listening to this song has always been that he's fighting back against depression and dark days, and calling upon others to do the same.

More Shinedown:
Burning Bright

45
Simple Man
Get Up
Love you guys
Cut the cord too
“Better version” is awesome also
This whole album is great, start to finish. This album will always hold a special place in my heart as it got me through a very personally difficult deployment to Iraq in 2009! Shinedown is so great!! Touches the soul!
Thank you for your service!!

If so, that's definitely relatable for me.
There are so many other Shinedown song's. You should check out their new song Planet Zero, it's my jam.
I knew Lex would love this one! I love you and your energy girl!
I LOVE how active Lex.gets when she likes something.
My favorite Shinedown song still! I knew Lex was gonna love this one
I just saw them in concert with The Pretty Reckless. Great show, they sound amazing live!
Wait, did I see Brad bouncing and rocking out for this song? Quiet, stoic, and analyzing Brad was bouncing around?
Love Lex's energy! Diamond eyes and Cut the cord are good as well
Man, mama is FUNNY!!! I literally laughed out loud when she touched her daughter's head!! Hilarious!!!
Great song, great people good job guys, kept it up. Love seeing mama again
I would love to see lex at one of their concerts. She's so full of energy. And Mama? I saw that stank face lol
Moms diggin the music. I had a hard time when I started listening to "growler" singers, then I got it. Mom will adapt, she digs the music, soon her playlists will change lol.
Smith and Myers.......basically Shinedown unplugged. You won't regret it.
I knew Lex would rock out on this song.
Your momma is spot on. sorting out the lyrics makes a huge difference.
Love everything Shinedown, one of my favorite voices...ever.
".45" and "Monsters" are my 2 favorite Shinedown songs
Old school Shinedown was HARD. They had ballads, to be sure, but right up until Attention Attention they were pretty hardcore rock.

A really cool guy.
I always look at this song as "I'm the devil, I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain, and I'm still here to explain"!
This album is an absolute BEAST of an album - Brent's vocals are so good!

Love Shinedown always more Shinedown and you will never go wrong. Shinedown has great lyrics to their songs. Suggest doing more lyric videos
Love you guys! TY for doing this one!! Ih Hi Hi Mama-san ^_^ ... Man Lex was ROCKIN' on this one! ♥♥
I freaking LOVE that song. Booyah!
I was fortunate enough to see them live last week. That makes my third time seeing them and they just get better each and every time! They closed the concert out with this one and it was perfection. Per. Fec. Tion.
Lex knows good music and Brad starting to pick out the lyrics without the words👍
Lex, is the chick we prayed we could take to the show…..What a cool girl!
I swear, Lex is my sister from another mister! Love her! She is a genuine music lover!
Lex bouncing so much that Brad is experiencing a mini earthquake is cracking me up.
I think if you like this. There's a lesser known shinedown song called Through The Ghost. Yall would like it!
"Crow and Butterfly" is beautiful and "Monsters" is awesome...There really isn't a bad Shinedown song...The lead singer and lead guitarist also have a side project called "Smith & Myers"...you can react to "Not Mad Enough" and "Bad at Love"...
Lex is an absolute riot 😂😂😂
Love Shinedown!! They are awesome ❤️
If you get the chance to see them live do it. They are a damn good band
Great song! One of my favs from them. Been in my workout playlist for years! Lex is right, it gets your blood pumping!
Lex is in it to win it, boyyyyy!!! LOVE
I freaking love Shinedown!!!
I seen them in the Woodlands TX when they burst on the scene they were good
Lex you are mad!!!
Let it go wild child!!😁🤪😀😁🤪😀
I still love seeing Lex really enjoy a good rifff...
love you guys so much and this song is such a banger
**does her happy dance** Yay!! I missed the livestream, so this is awesome! I'm starting to feel like every day is my birthday. This reaction was so dope!

Cool, never heard of it, great recommendation, thanks. Lex's couch-dancing is also fabulous, mama can't sit still. 😆
currently practicing to covr this and son of sam glad you guys like it too
This dude has a incredible voice even live he sounds unbelievable !
It's so weird Lex doesn't care about lyrics at all or doesn't even try to listen. She is absolutely confused that her mom wants to feel and hear the lyrics.
Yeeessssss!!! Love this band
My wife and I have loved this song for years!
Cut the cord goes h.a.m. too. Energy through the roof!
I just saw them last week and as usual they tear it up 🤘🏻
Monsters by shinedown should be next
Shinedown is a great band. Good to see you reacting to them!
Lex’s energy is off the charts.
I just saw them in concert two weeks ago. sound amazing live.
They are fantastic
Great reaction. Lex’s energy goes hand in hand with this one. 😁 One of their best!!! Gotta do Fly from the Inside next.

I have been suggesting “Nonpoint” for awhile!! Can’t wait until they get a listen to them 💯🔥‼️
@@stevemartinez5067, what should they react to by Nonpoint? I'm thinking "Alive and Kicking" or "Endure"? Your thoughts?
@@diveplane05 yes I like them suggestions also “Bullet With A Name”,”Ruthless”, “F**cked” also their version of “ In The Air Tonight”!!
Been Rocking with them for quite some time‼️💯🔥🤘🏼
Amen Shinedown. One of the best songs written
Their song "Second Chance" is off the hook!
Great singer and concert
they have two dozen bangers if they’ve got one. at least try: unity, shed some light, beyond the sun, and cut the cord.
Love Shinedown!! You guys need to check out Black Stone Cherry “Cheaper to drink alone”, “The Rambler” “ Fade Away”
Saw them live! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
I forgot all about this song. This friggin' rocks!
Brad was feeling this one fosho.
Lex is jamming, Momma’s grooving. 👍👍
Lex got me DYIN'!!!!!
😣🤘
Check out Shinedown - "Get Up", "Monsters", "How Did You Love", & "Never Gonna Let Go"
Brad and Lex, PLEASE listen to Shinedown's, Black Soul. I LOVE it and bet you will too. It rocks! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love Y'all❤❤❤❤❤
Brent Smith is a lyrical genius. Not my favorite song by them but Shinedown is a really good band. Def should check out their older stuff (45, Save Me, Fly From the Inside, etc...)
Do their video for Monsters
You would love their video to Monsters! 💜
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself🤘
Gotta do Enemies. The video is great!
Easily ranks in their top 5 best. Such a rocking song.

This whole album kicks ass
love the way Lexi Rocks out!
