    *Real Story*:
    This band is truly authentic, real and just kindest band you will ever ever meet. I was dog sitting for a couple who went to their meet and greet. I'm a HUGE Shinedown fan but wished them a good time and watched their dog. The woman I was dog sitting for facetimed me, I thought looking for an update, but it turned out to be Zach (Shinedown's guitarist if you didn't know). My jaw hit the floor and he was like, 'Hey, how are you!" He straight up had a wonderful convo with me and goes, "Why aren't you here man?" In the midst of me holding back happy tears I replied, "Because I'm a broke college student! Haha." He turned to the woman who I was dog sitting for and I heard him go, "She's dog sitting for you tonight?" She nodded back at him. He turned back to me and goes, "You know what? The next time we're in your area, I got your ticket! And you can come see us!" *Commence tears* I couldn't thank him enough and he was like no tears! No tears! Haha.
    Sure enough a day or 2 later he DMs me on twitter saying ticket was all set and I told him again how thankful I was and he told me it was no big deal and thanked me so much for being a big fan and supporter.
    The day comes and I head to the concert and I walked up to the lady by security and awkwardly was like "Soooooo Zach said he has my ticket..." Felt so awkward saying this lmao. The lady said "Name?" Told her my name and she goes, "Oh yes! It's written right here, one moment!" It felt like on TV where you see people get into the club on the VIP list. She walks away and comes back with passes and tickets in her hand! "One meet and greet pass and one early access GA ticket!" Once again, MY JAW HIT THE FLOOR. I legit said to her, "My whats?!" It was real.
    Head into the meet and greet and I expected the usual, you run up, say hi, take a picture and leave. Shiendown's M&Gs are so much better. You form a semi circle and each of the band members walks around and meets you individually. They'll sign merch and just chat with you! Every single band member was the sweetest. Brent (lead singer) even asked what my favorite song was because he said he'd add it to the setlist just so I could hear it (And yes he did play it!). When I finally met Zach ofc my tears started flowing and he was like "No tears!!! No tears!!" He gave me the biggest of hugs. Before the M&G they tell you no pictures while they meet everyone, only pictures after when you do a full band photo, but Zach turns around and legit said, "Nah F it can someone help take a photo of us." So there's a pic of me semi crying face with Zach hugging me that night and it's my favorite photo!! I told him how thankful I was and couldn't believe he'd done this for me. He told me I was hardworking and to keep up that hard work in school for my future. He also told me he was very thankful for the fans and how my support meant the world to them. He's so straight up and honest and one of the nicest people I've ever met.
    After meeting everyone, we took our photos with the band (1 casual and 1 silly ^.^) and then I got early access GA so I was right at the barricade before the stage. Absolutely was the BEST concert of my entire life and after the show Zach gave me his guitar pick :').
    This band really is something else

    Speaking about Monsters, Shinedown frontman Brent Smith said: “Everyone who knows a bit of my background with regard to substance abuse and alcoholism knows that I've battled with it. It's something I deal with on a daily basis. I’ve always been very honest about it, which is that I didn't do drugs today - and I didn't drink today - but I don't know what I'll do tomorrow, because I literally have to take it day by day.
    "I never went to rehab, I didn't do a 12-step programme, and I don't talk about sobriety unless I'm asked about it. Even then, I don't spend much time on it because I literally live my life day by day. That's how I have to do it, but the dynamic in the song is not just about substance abuse. It's about a lot of different situations that people get put in because they have things in their mind that - for whatever reason - they used to sabotage themselves.
    "They don't know why they do it, but they do it, and these are the monsters that I'm talking about: those voices that say, 'I know this is going to be really fucked up after it's over with, but let's do it anyway.' That's the sentiment in the song, when I sing that my monsters are real and they're trained to kill."

I still don't get the video though, at first I thought the the little girl hiding under the bed from the father figure, was a flash back of the widow when she was younger, but then she was at the funeral at what appeared to be the same timeline. IDK I love the song regardless.

His voice is incredible and he is incredible as a person too.. at the early days of Shinedown he was a drug addict and he was at an unhealthy weight but then he got completely clean, lost a lot of weight and worked out to become healthy.. his dedication and self motivation is really inspiring.. you should check out Shinedown's cover of Simple Man and also Brent Smith's collab with Apocalyptica Not Strong Enough..

      As someone who is an avid rock listener, I must say he's below average. Let's see the best rock singer, is most definitely Freddie Mercury... Then it's probably Ville Valo or Lauri Ylönen, if it's for the harder sound then it's most definitely Tomi Petteri Putaansuu... If it's then Death Metal then it's a bit harder to say but Matthias Lillmåns... Other greats include Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian. There are many really good voices in rock but Brent is kind of meh in comparison to a lot of Rock genre singers of the male variety.

    This song, & most of this album, has to deal with anxiety, depression, addiction, & the struggles of mental illness. The song GET UP (that's actually how they titled it, I'm not trying to yell lol) is about one of the band members dealing with his depression & Brent Smith, the singer, made the song for him. This one, MONSTERS, talks about how those with mental illness walk around with a mask, a fake smile, & "fool everybody", and we don't realize that by not dealing with our illness, we "hurt everyone". To others, the voices & the fears & the symptoms are just that, symptoms. But to us, the ones with the illness, these monsters are real, & they can kill while they laugh at how we feel.

    They're so good I get shills and tears in my eyes almost every time I hear them!
    If no one showed you this, it's the explanation of the song, by Brent Smith the frontman:
    Monsters
    "Everyone who knows a bit of my background with regard to substance abuse and alcoholism knows that I've battled with it. It's something I deal with on a daily basis. I've always been very honest about it, which is that I didn't do drugs today - and I didn't drink today - but I don't know what I'll do tomorrow, because I literally have to take it day by day. I never went to rehab, I didn't do a 12-step programme, and I don't talk about sobriety unless I'm asked about it. Even then, I don't spend much time on it because I literally live my life day by day. That's how I have to do it, but the dynamic in the song is not just about substance abuse. It's about a lot of different situations that people get put in because they have things in their mind that - for whatever reason - they used to sabotage themselves. They don't know why they do it, but they do it, and these are the monsters that I'm talking about: those voices that say, 'I know this is going to be really fucked up after it's over with, but let's do it anyway.' That's the sentiment in the song, when I sing that my monsters are real and they're trained to kill."

    The album Attention Attention is a concept album. It tells a story. It's mostly songs about their singer Brent and their bassist Eric struggles. Brent's struggles with addiction and through recovery and Eric's journey with his severe depression. The entire album is a story and there will soon be a video for every song on the album and they all connect, they'll probably release everything as a movie once it's done. That may be why the story of this video seems so all over the place because there is more to come. Honestly I'd love to see you react to any of their songs but find some live videos, Brent is an amazing singer live. I listen to Shinedown every single day and can tell you despite what people out there say, he absolutely does not lip sync, it's 100% talent. It's obvious to the daily listener and to people that have seen them love multiple times. So glad you enjoyed it ❤️ 🤘

    Shinedown is a treasure trove of really good music. Keep it going!

    i’ve seen them live twice, and if you ever get the chance, you have to go. brent smith’s voice is so piercing in this beautiful way that recordings don’t capture, and their shows are just so positive and great experiences. they’re great people and great musicians.
    if you don’t have the time to listen to their entire discography, listen to simple man, 45, diamond eyes, second chance, and all of their most recent album, called attention attention

    Brent's voice never fuckin gets old. Damn he's powerful! Aaron lewis, Brent Smith, Corey Taylor and so much more. Damn its good to be a rocker.

      I feel like I would have died on the spot. Both bands are so amazing! I love Shinedown. I jumped down that rabbit hole when I first listened to Unity and I haven't really crawled out of it since then.

    They have so many great songs. And they put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen! You must check out more from them

    I listed to them live when they came to Alaska and they sounded just like they were on the radio but they were nice they even stopped playing to make sure some dude in the front was okay. Their voices are magical
