When I was in the Marine Corps there was this “kid” his parents had to sign papers to get him in. I kinda took him under my wing because I had younger brothers. We had to do a beach run and he wanted to quit. I started singing this song to get him motivated to finish the run. MCRD San Diego!
Semper fi brother!! There is always one out there.... I was a marine that got in with an age waiver.. and if it wasn't for an older marine driving me forward I wouldn't have made it... I ended up as an a special operator with 3 car ribbons ( never signed up for that!!) But I always felt that I would have let him down if I gave up.
So please clarify for someone that happens to be ignorant on this subject (that ignorant person is obviously me haha). A kid can be in the service if the parents sign papers?? Props to you for taking him under your wing and using music help him help himself to not give up. I like stories like this. Taking the time to give a crap can make a huge difference in a person's life. You're awesome. Most people don't take the time.
That song reminds me of my Dad. I was a daddy’s girl for sure. He died young in “03”. When this song popped up by Smith I swear it was a hello from my dad. Thank you!
This has to be one of the most chilled laid back things these guys have done. It looks like they are all sitting round a camp fire passing around a bottle of whiskey while having a sing song. And it looks like they enjoyed it which is so nice to see all the smiles on their faces.
So in love with these boys. Have been since day one. Im 57 yrs old and love to rock out. Wish this nurse could wear her ear buds at work. Then again I'd might not get my work done!
These 4 guys are very humble and chill dudes. I got to talk with them after a little private show at the radio station where I live a long time ago, absolutely chill guys. We had our 'work' shirt on that showed we were with Ford so they started talking about mustangs and muscle cars and just chit-chatted for like 20-30 minutes. Seen them live twice since and they never let down. One of my favorite bands.
You all will always be in my heart lost my mom to cancer but we seen you atleast 5 times your one of our favorites always love the amazing talent and heart
I absolutely love this and I know my gpa would as well he's a marine veteran RIP and I wouldn't be the man I am today if it wasn't for him your music touches my soul and always helps guide me through the dark times I love you guys thank you!!!!!!
I literally listen to this (and watch) everyday of my life. It makes my heart happy! Always been a loyal fan, but the commradery makes my heart so happy! Not to mention, zakk and Brent sound amazing! Literally.... Everyday!!
They really azame me Everytime they do a different song because they kick ass on it wow they really do a badass job killing it y'all oh hell yeah I appreciate them excuatlly more now than ever !!!
I saw them up in Newcastle. best gig I've ever witnessed. amazing band, not just the vocals, but the passion in their playing. absolutely fantastic. their albums actually do them justice, they sound 99.9% the same as they do on their records, live. I'm not exaggerating either! Halestorm supported these guys and I tell you something, they aren't half bad either!
What's best is Shinedown was made production band. Seriously. Artists breaking through. Look up Brent Smith in early years... This story and path of accomplishments and venture is truly for the story books. Couldn't be written any better than the hand that life gave all the men of #SHINEDOWN. Brent Barry Zack and Eric. An amazing ride to an amazingly beautiful future in music
Used to hangout everyday with a kid who’s father was the road manager for shinedown. Even brought me to school once. Skippy if you see this I love ya bud lol
Have totally loved everything these incredible young men have done since day one!! My favorite human being in this world, Chris (RIP MY SWEET BROTHA) turned me on to these talented musicians and their unique sound right after their 1st album came out and I've been captivated by their melodicdies and poignant messages in their lyrics. Would love to see them in concert...1st on my BUCKET LIST. Hope to be able to see them soon.... Guys keep on rock in...cuz this ole gal sincerely and truly loves your music!!! Bless y'all for keeping it real and bearing your souls through your songs... Your honesty and depth of subject matter hasn't gone unnoticed even by those of my generation.... With love and warmest thoughts to you all...
of course, lm sure that Shinedown will never get to read this but on the small chance that they may, l would like to say...What an amazing group you all are. l found out about you thru a recommendation from my Son's friend shortly after he passed (2015). He said that Brent used to listen to "Simple Man" all the time and that it was one of his favorites. l can see why, as your music has Heart and Soul. It would be a Dream Come True to meet you in Person. The People who Inspired my Son the most in life before his passing. l live in Canada but l can still Dream eh? lol
Brent Smith covers any song he sings with ease. One of my all time favorites. I saw them in pdx in 2010. They're back with godsmack this time and I'd love to go.
How many covers have these dudes done that could legit be in top 100 covers for all time ? She talks to angels, runaway train, are two of my favorites and they never get heard really.
@Alicia Coughlin...How bout he's English and ever thought of a typo? Since when did the grammar and spelling f****** matter on GodDamn UA-cam comments... you better get to spellcheckin' because I'm sure there's way more words misspelled in his name. And let me know how many errors you find and I'll let you know how petty you are to point out dumb s*** the people! 😳or maybe you should skip the spell check and maybe count your Weight Watcher points!
Anyone know if they have a video of them playing the entire song nothing surprises me with shinedown anymore they come together so well with every song every remake of a song man i absolutely love these guys and hope and pray to see them again its been a few years since the first time i saw them live what a show they put on

One of the very best vocalist of all time, dudes got pipes, his version of simple man is phenomenal, can’t say enough about how good this guy is

Watching anyone pay tribute to beautiful music makes my life worthwhile. Beautiful

Brent is just a pure and natural singer. Does not matter which genre it is, he will nail it. I love these types of singers.

And this is why Brent and the guys are one of the best bands out there

Seen Shinedown live in Leeds twice, they're so fucking good..... Brent Smith is an amazing vocalist.
