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.
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!
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!
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 ... 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!
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.
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.
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!
@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.
@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.
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.
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.
@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...
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 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
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!
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.
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.
no disrespect but..,dude how could u say that he's flat?maybe u can sing well,but howcome he's more renown that you are?...i guess that's says it all don't it?...
I still think the guitar is being played out of tune, whether not tuned properly or technique. It sounds out of tune. Also, the harmonies aren't there which he could be trying to compensate for on the chorus. That's a mistake, but whatever. I still like the song. I don't expect shit to be perfect; that's what record companies have sold you. Perfection is not real music that's produced. I like it raw.
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
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.

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

Phenomenal job fellas!
you can really tell how solid a band is when they go acoustic... these guys are fucking solid through and through!!!
🤘! Please 🙏 Comeback "Jasin Todd" Without You Shinedown cannot shine it any more..
sorry brent did it blame him he turned gay with Chris
Awesome- him and Jasin are SO talented and underrated musicians…
Pretty damn good for a live performance, not many artists sound this good live.
Good old classic shine down
I love this video of Brent Smith.He is the best & the greatest singer in the world.He also has the best voice ever.Zebrina
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!
OMG i forget this song.And i fall on it.Thats song is ÉPIC :)
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.

powerful voice! just made my day!
Awesome 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
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
exactly thats what makes this a great band
so amazing.....
I love Jasin and miss him. I still follow him and await the day he joins a band again.

I think he’s a better vocalist now
Ah his vocals are unbelievable
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.
i listen to this every time im nervous and then im not nervous anymore
Jasin todd has the best strumming technique
i have ever seen
Fucking awesome!!!
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.

best vocals ever
really good
Neva saw him with a beard before. Crazy.
wow, he plays guitar awesome!
isnt it better than new shinedown
its the weight of the world on my shoulders yea i yeahhh
that rocks
Brent's not the only remaining member. Barry, the drummer, was there in the beginning.
gonna see these guys september 14th
💯💯💯
Such a fucking shredder!
Why does he sing soooo much better with a beardstache? He should definitely grow it out again.
He's an amazing singer. One of my favorites... But does anyone else notice how often he gets under pitch.
excelent.
you wont be dissapointed, I saw them in January. You are gonna get insane! (in a good way) :p
its a style of how he performs....not a problem
Damn….where’s my record deal at?
I didn't know Jesus could rock like that!
3.26 guitarist smiling at Brents amazing vocals! :)
"jasontodd"
O_O holy freakin crap hes good
@TravisSkateFlip one of the best voices in rock
@brockwest42 yeah i saw them in august with chevelle. best show ever
@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.
Heres the weight of the world on my shoulders .....
going through this the 3rd time, i see what you mean about it, both ways he sounds good.
mans a great guitarist, barely tell hes switching notes at a constant pace.
When God and Jesus play together this is what you get...
well i wish i could sing like that
@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.
Survive
why does everyone keep saying they suck here, they sound fuckin great for 2 people
Just because he is not singing the way it is on your mp3 doesn't mean it's shitty.
Lol looks just like dude from seether with the beard 😂😂
they have an original vid. It was pulled from ytube for some reason. Anyway May 9th bitches! :~)~~
its coming, you just wait ;)
depends what clip you see him on.
check out myles kennedy of alter bridge, he hits all his notes live
aw he looks nervous
but still good
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.
he may be out of tune but he can probably play guitar a hell of alot better than us
@BDogGrizzly , you are wrong. Barry Kirsch is an original band member.
You mean he's God ;)
good song! 2:24, his eyes lol
lol yeah i realized that after i typed it
Dudes i was being sarcastic.... a negative response towards JKKillerB.... i guess i can't really express that through simple text though :)
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.
@MrMusikman24 Jesus is alive! And he rocks!! :D
he couldnt find key for the entire song in my opinion, he’s had better performances for sure
@MrMusikman24 Of course he can, HE'S JESUS!!
@MrMusikman24 Well god is singing.
@okirishchik word!!
Dude he needs a break the constant touring is really doing a number on his voice he's usually kick ass.
@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...
@MrMusikman24 lmao he does indeed :D
What guitar is he using anyone know!
Are you deaf? He sounds fine. Better than most people when they do acoustic gigs.
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 .
I think it's Taylor big baby
@MrMusikman24
Jesus Wish he was Jasin
Wow what happened to your voice....Its been gone since you sang Simple man
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?¿
@MrMusikman24 i quess that jesus loves rock:D
im srry you cant blame the guitar for his singing i play guitar and to me the guitar sounds fine
Jesus x2?
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
@MrMusikman24 Jesus invented the guitar solo but Satan made it rock.
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!
he didnt do too bad though...
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 !!!!
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.
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.
Thats just mean calling him fat.........he probably prefers big-boned.
no disrespect but..,dude how could u say that he's flat?maybe u can sing well,but howcome he's more renown that you are?...i guess that's says it all don't it?...
LMAO
@mrgungho Troll harder
I still think the guitar is being played out of tune, whether not tuned properly or technique. It sounds out of tune.

I don't expect shit to be perfect; that's what record companies have sold you. Perfection is not real music that's produced. I like it raw.
This is depressing.
Brent needs to drop some weight and get a beard again, he looks 100x better here than he does right now.
buckcherry and saving abel suck live. buckcherry is terrible anyway. a7x and shinedown saved that concert. both were BEASTLY
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
