I've ran the sound board at one of America's best hard rock clubs, including for Shinedown's first major US tour l, so I've seen thousands of shows and bands Brent always floors me acoustically, especially with Fly from the inside, definitely not an easy song to pull off, even if it is your song! Phenomenal job fellas!
It's funny I usually don't comment on videos because its a bunch of he said she said bull. But if you really listen to music there are two types of singers/bands/artists. Ones that sound good on cd where everything is produced and mixed and cleaned up like most pop singers or teen pop. Then you have singers like Brent Smith who sound great on cd, but can stomp on just about any other singer acoustically. That's what makes them so great they don't need mixing and producing to sound amazing... His pure heart and talent show threw when he sings even more so when its acoustic because its so raw. Thats my two cents....
Have you seen there Kansas City acoustic show? That was amazing to watch. I liked that he changed up his voice a bit, like he went lower than the album during the chorus of if you only knew, and does an awesome job with Devour.
+Glen Bishop Spot on! Certainly one of the top vocalist out there, like you said Shinedown are great, but Brent singing with acoustic is amazing, Simple man is one of my fave songs of all time
You are 1,000% percent correct. Most other bands can't hold a candle to Brent Smith's kickass vocals. The range he has & his passion for the words is pure bliss. Live or studio recorded... Brent's talent has been so far unmatched in my eyes.
WOW ... These at Download Festival ... at the front barrier i was so close and they were perfect ... like goosbumps all the way thru their set ... Love them ... Just amazing ... DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 09 ... LEGEND!
I have never heard a better live male ROCK singer, there are better, but nobody sings rock like Brent Smith, he is as close to perfection for rock as you can get, and Shinedown ROCKS!!! I have seen them live, they are amazing, almost better than the albums... SHINEDOWN ROCKS!
cant believe i found this.....i was late to work because they played this during the morning commute and i couldnt turn the car off until it was over..... got a warning for being 20 minutes late but so worth it.miss 97x green rooms since i moved
I love Jasin and miss him. I still follow him and await the day he joins a band again. I'm a hardcore Shinedown fan and I'll be the first to admit, Brent needs professional vocal training. He has a very hard time staying in key. But he is a great big ball of emotion, so it just comes out. I don't have a problem with that.
Back then Brent was high on oxycotin and cocain, as well as as much booze as one could tolerate. Now, he has been clean and sober for 3 years, thanks to the birth of his son. If you were a real Shinedown fan you would know this as he talking about it with an open heart. I think the music has evolved just as he has. His songs are about life, his and others. His words are not always what they seem to be, often a metaphor. His voice is better than ever!
Here's the breakdown in response to BadAndy's question. I had some time on my hands and figured I'd help out. He goes flat at least a half step at the following points... 0:36, 0:47, 0:52, 1:27, 1:34, 1:37, 2:10, 2:16, 2:28, 2:35, 2:38, 3:18, 3:28, 3:39, 3:59...and that's being conservative. And if Bad Andy asks, you can tell him that this information did come from a vocal coach with Certified Perfect Pitch... i.e. you can tune a piano to my voice.
shizzlefoot post singing videos please. Had throat surgery and scarred my speaking voice. Teaching myself singing exercises has helped my voice normalize ...and now a video of u teaching us his technique would be great!!! PLEASE!
So many new rock singers make this mistake-they write these impossible to sing songs which sound awesome at first, but after performing them 300 times you start sounding like this dude.
If you don't want to know about Shinedown that just stop commenting on there stuff. Don't you understand if Jasin would have stayed they would have hurt each other with physical fighting or possibly Brent might have gotten back on drugs would you want that he could have died, because I don't think Jasin would have wanted that now that he is sober.
@brockwest42 i just saw them about three or four weeks ago. they were good. which shocks me after seeing this before i thought shinedown was any good, haha. a lot of people were jumping and singing along, but it wasn't too crazy.
@shizzlefoot You're totally right he's completely flat. Nobody is saying he's a bad singer or that the band sucks just that he's flat. It happens sometimes.
Many artists eventually go main stream, it happen, and we all know it but refuse to believe it'll happen. Anyway, Shinedown is still badass, better than what Metallica has become now.
I don't see why people even think he sounds bad! and the guitar, NOT FLAT WHY DO U THINK THAT!? it's just that the bass isn't there, and so it sounds different.
@BDogGrizzly what about barry kerch? you might want to check your facts bro. How can you be disappointed in who they have become? Sound of madness went platinum. yupp thats really something to be disappointed about...
THIS is the Shinedown I love, I just saw them last week, and something's just different about them now. They've (or I should say Brent, the only remaining original member) have lost the grungy, southern rock look and tried to modernize somewhat. There's just something not the same anymore... Plus he's a heck of a lot fatter now than he was here
Brent can't always sing as high as he does in the recording, it takes a lot out of you physically, and its an acoustic version many artists bring it down in pitch. It was pitchy, but he might of been in the midst of decided what he was going to do with it and flopped .
This is Shinedown..... The stuff they do now is so horrible >< I miss Brents wonderful voice( I mean yeah he sings on the new stuff but listen to them back to back, they edit his voice and it makes me sad) I saw them in concert in knoxville and it was awesome ( I got to Bash buckcherry to the Lead singer and some other band member) I dislike the singer of buck cherry ..... but i still like the old shinedown
They just do normal studio editing he changes his voice and the way he sings for different songs. The man can sing anything as he has proved with the acoustic covers.
lol are you serious? Never seen anyone and I mean anyone in my entire life with this much voice control as Brent has. Do u think its easy to tour 365 days a year and sing songs without having days when your troath gets soar and tired? Ever tried singin songs like save me or fly from the inside? Not many people can pull it off. and it does take a toll on your voice. Mabye this wasent his best preformance but a helluva lot better then anyone else would have been able to sing it!
Wow...Zach needs to invest in an electronic tuner. The ear tuning just isn't working for him. And Brent, apparently, needs some headphone monitors or something. You're a tad flat, my friend. Awesome song though.
this was probaly early in the AM and he didnt have a long day of warmup practice for it after all its just for a radio station not a giant stadium live nd stuff just radio
dawgyv72 no he’s not actually and I’m a big shinedown fan haha it’s what happens when you’re young and have a fresh voice and put out a record where you’re absolutely belting it... 5-6 years down the road after heavy touring you’re not gonna be able to sing the shit you released in your 20’s with a fresh voice

Jacob Avner Yea I've seen a few clips of it, wished I could have been there. Sounds amazing. But pretty much anything they do sounds great haha
+Glen Bishop Spot on! Certainly one of the top vocalist out there, like you said Shinedown are great, but Brent singing with acoustic is amazing, Simple man is one of my fave songs of all time

you can really tell how solid a band is when they go acoustic... these guys are fucking solid through and through!!!
WOW ... These at Download Festival ... at the front barrier i was so close and they were perfect ... like goosbumps all the way thru their set ... Love them ... Just amazing ... DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 09 ... LEGEND!
Pretty damn good for a live performance, not many artists sound this good live.
Good old classic shine down
Awesome- him and Jasin are SO talented and underrated musicians…
OMG i forget this song.And i fall on it.Thats song is ÉPIC :)
🤘! Please 🙏 Comeback "Jasin Todd" Without You Shinedown cannot shine it any more..

I have never heard a better live male ROCK singer, there are better, but nobody sings rock like Brent Smith, he is as close to perfection for rock as you can get, and Shinedown ROCKS!!! I have seen them live, they are amazing, almost better than the albums... SHINEDOWN ROCKS!

I love Jasin and miss him. I still follow him and await the day he joins a band again.
I'm a hardcore Shinedown fan and I'll be the first to admit, Brent needs professional vocal training. He has a very hard time staying in key. But he is a great big ball of emotion, so it just comes out. I don't have a problem with that.
I think he’s a better vocalist now
Ah his vocals are unbelievable
best vocals ever
Jasin todd has the best strumming technique
i have ever seen
Back then Brent was high on oxycotin and cocain, as well as as much booze as one could tolerate. Now, he has been clean and sober for 3 years, thanks to the birth of his son. If you were a real Shinedown fan you would know this as he talking about it with an open heart. I think the music has evolved just as he has. His songs are about life, his and others. His words are not always what they seem to be, often a metaphor. His voice is better than ever!
wow, he plays guitar awesome!
isnt it better than new shinedown
Neva saw him with a beard before. Crazy.
its the weight of the world on my shoulders yea i yeahhh
that rocks
excelent.
Such a fucking shredder!

O_O holy freakin crap hes good
3.26 guitarist smiling at Brents amazing vocals! :)
"jasontodd"
So many new rock singers make this mistake-they write these impossible to sing songs which sound awesome at first, but after performing them 300 times you start sounding like this dude.
new shinedown v.s old shinedown hands down 2020
They’re new single just came out and I think it’s awesome it’s a lot heavier than the rest of they’re recent stuff
@@thezombros2607 don't wanna know about his crap
If you don't want to know about Shinedown that just stop commenting on there stuff. Don't you understand if Jasin would have stayed they would have hurt each other with physical fighting or possibly Brent might have gotten back on drugs would you want that he could have died, because I don't think Jasin would have wanted that now that he is sober.
going through this the 3rd time, i see what you mean about it, both ways he sounds good.
@brockwest42 yeah i saw them in august with chevelle. best show ever
well i wish i could sing like that
@TravisSkateFlip one of the best voices in rock
Brent's not the only remaining member. Barry, the drummer, was there in the beginning.
@brockwest42 i just saw them about three or four weeks ago. they were good. which shocks me after seeing this before i thought shinedown was any good, haha. a lot of people were jumping and singing along, but it wasn't too crazy.
its a style of how he performs....not a problem
its coming, you just wait ;)
lol yeah i realized that after i typed it
@BDogGrizzly , you are wrong. Barry Kirsch is an original band member.
When God and Jesus play together this is what you get...
why does everyone keep saying they suck here, they sound fuckin great for 2 people
good song! 2:24, his eyes lol
He's an amazing singer. One of my favorites... But does anyone else notice how often he gets under pitch.
Why does he sing soooo much better with a beardstache? He should definitely grow it out again.
depends what clip you see him on.
check out myles kennedy of alter bridge, he hits all his notes live
mans a great guitarist, barely tell hes switching notes at a constant pace.
You mean he's God ;)
Damn….where’s my record deal at?
Survive
@MrMusikman24 lmao he does indeed :D
Lol looks just like dude from seether with the beard 😂😂
Heres the weight of the world on my shoulders .....
@shizzlefoot You're totally right he's completely flat. Nobody is saying he's a bad singer or that the band sucks just that he's flat. It happens sometimes.
they have an original vid. It was pulled from ytube for some reason. Anyway May 9th bitches! :~)~~
@okirishchik word!!
aw he looks nervous
but still good
@MrMusikman24 Jesus is alive! And he rocks!! :D
@MrMusikman24 Well god is singing.
@MrMusikman24 Of course he can, HE'S JESUS!!
What guitar is he using anyone know!
Just because he is not singing the way it is on your mp3 doesn't mean it's shitty.
he may be out of tune but he can probably play guitar a hell of alot better than us
Many artists eventually go main stream, it happen, and we all know it but refuse to believe it'll happen. Anyway, Shinedown is still badass, better than what Metallica has become now.
I don't see why people even think he sounds bad! and the guitar, NOT FLAT WHY DO U THINK THAT!? it's just that the bass isn't there, and so it sounds different.
Dudes i was being sarcastic.... a negative response towards JKKillerB.... i guess i can't really express that through simple text though :)
Dude he needs a break the constant touring is really doing a number on his voice he's usually kick ass.
I think it's Taylor big baby
@BDogGrizzly what about barry kerch? you might want to check your facts bro. How can you be disappointed in who they have become? Sound of madness went platinum. yupp thats really something to be disappointed about...
Are you deaf? He sounds fine. Better than most people when they do acoustic gigs.
LMAO
Jesus x2?
@MrMusikman24
Jesus Wish he was Jasin
@MrMusikman24 Jesus invented the guitar solo but Satan made it rock.
THIS is the Shinedown I love, I just saw them last week, and something's just different about them now. They've (or I should say Brent, the only remaining original member) have lost the grungy, southern rock look and tried to modernize somewhat. There's just something not the same anymore... Plus he's a heck of a lot fatter now than he was here
Brent can't always sing as high as he does in the recording, it takes a lot out of you physically, and its an acoustic version many artists bring it down in pitch. It was pitchy, but he might of been in the midst of decided what he was going to do with it and flopped .
im srry you cant blame the guitar for his singing i play guitar and to me the guitar sounds fine
@MrMusikman24 i quess that jesus loves rock:D
dude atlest shinedown is better live then disturbed i mean he can't hit any of the note's but yet it still sond's good why is that?¿
he didnt do too bad though...
Wow what happened to your voice....Its been gone since you sang Simple man
@mrgungho Troll harder
he couldnt find key for the entire song in my opinion, he’s had better performances for sure
This is depressing.
Just shows that ALL singers owe it ALL to their sound mixers, huh?
Good job, but w/o the mixing it sux...
Have a GREAT day !!!!
Thats just mean calling him fat.........he probably prefers big-boned.
This is Shinedown..... The stuff they do now is so horrible >< I miss Brents wonderful voice( I mean yeah he sings on the new stuff but listen to them back to back, they edit his voice and it makes me sad)
I saw them in concert in knoxville and it was awesome ( I got to Bash buckcherry to the Lead singer and some other band member) I dislike the singer of buck cherry .....
but i still like the old shinedown

WTF, i don't here anything wrong with this.
Brent needs to drop some weight and get a beard again, he looks 100x better here than he does right now.
Wow...Zach needs to invest in an electronic tuner. The ear tuning just isn't working for him. And Brent, apparently, needs some headphone monitors or something. You're a tad flat, my friend. Awesome song though.
the title is not shinedown its ''shamedown''
he sings flat live.
Are you watching the same video I am? Because Brent's vocal range is perfect. Cheers!!
this was probaly early in the AM and he didnt have a long day of warmup practice for it after all its just for a radio station not a giant stadium live nd stuff just radio
haha, you have no idea what you are talking about? singing in wrong tunes? you're not even using the right terminology. He's singing perfectly fine.
dawgyv72 no he’s not actually and I’m a big shinedown fan haha it’s what happens when you’re young and have a fresh voice and put out a record where you’re absolutely belting it... 5-6 years down the road after heavy touring you’re not gonna be able to sing the shit you released in your 20’s with a fresh voice
Well this sux...
That is your opinion. I disagree. Cheers!!
