- Shinedown have been going for over 20 years now and it seems that their career gets more and more successful; they have the most number 1 singles on the Billboard rock charts, tying with Three Days Grace... they have released 7 albums including the incredibly successful Sound Of Madness along with Attention Attention... They have had a lineup change when Brent Smith invited Zach Myers and Eric Bass into the band and this all started when Brent Smith signed to Atlantic Records with his old band Dreve.
They have made appearances at the o2 arena with Alter Bridge and Iron Maiden plus played at many heavy metal and hard rock / rock music festivals such as Download Festival.
Here is the strange career of Shinedown and the interesting history plus why they're successful.

Hey everyone! So just a few hours after I uploaded this it was announced that Planet Zero went to number 1 on billboard 🤩 what a coincidence
Mr. Smith has the best rock vocals in history and I say Mr. Smith he deserves the respect!
been a fan since the beginning way back in 2003. honestly i dont see a difference in their music from leave a whisper to planet zero they always have that shinedown sound. yes every album is different yes every song is different but when u hear a shinedown song u just know its shinedown. i think that is the secret to their success. they just make great music.
I love shinedown so much. Their lyrics speak to my soul. I feel like their reach has a lot to do with their authenticity and connection with the human condition. And they really do have a song for everyone
honestly all i can say is same. people say shinedown suck but at least they sing meaningful songs and don’t just choose to sing about sex like a lot of todays artists do. brent smith is my hero
Shinedown is my favourite band by a mile, they sing beautiful Songs with Deep meanings that you don’t realise without looking into it
I’ve been a fan of shinedown for the past 10 years. Brent’s vocals and the instrumental arrangements are unlike any other band. They take you on an emotional and audio roller coaster with every song.
Shinedown is powerful and inspirational in so many ways.
Been here since 2003. Seen them live at least 10 times. Phenomenal band.
They were named #1 mainstream rock band of Billboards 40 years!!
I think it is Brent's vocals, writing and just being down to earth humble guys. Always trying to help people out with donating alot of money to charities. The whole band is very talented. They are great guys met them multiple times and also stage presence is amazing people can tell they truly love and care about their fans. Great video
Shinedown is absolutely AWESOME! Great music, great group of guys, and always such positive, uplifting messages.
I’m a big Shinedown fan. They love their fans, the song Daylight is a love letter to the fans. I saw 👀 them in September 22, I go to see them anytime they come around. I agree with most of what you said, I wish you would have talked about Smith & Myers 🎃🎃🎃
I was pretty close with Brent when he was in Dreve. I still hang out and occasionally make music with the other members of Dreve. We all worked together at a music warehouse back in the day and have remained friends since. Proud to see Brent come so far.
I'm an old rocker 59 years old this band is very special I just went and seen them in concert they were awesome I haven't seen a concert in 20 years they blowed me away very talented very professional
The reason why this band is #1 is because they are true to the meanings of each song they put out and every one has a story to be told.There journey is not over and wont be for a very long time. Love them.🥰🐿
i've been a fan for at least 10 years and to me, their music just speaks to me. And I think that's what draws people in. They haven't shied away from talking about mental illness, and recovering from substance abuse in their songs and people really connect with it. It's like Brent once said in an interview, music is medicine for your soul. :)
I'm 55....my grown daughter turned me on to them. I had heard 2nd chance a bit back then but had no idea who they were. They are now at the top of my playlist
Totally agree with your analysis here. I think Shinedown has done a great job of evolving and growing and really establishing a successful "signature sound". For me personally, what keeps bringing me back more and more is Brent's voice and his expressive and emotional honesty and delivery. "Attention Attention" is probably my most-played album,.. but Planet Zero is really getting heavy repeat time in my car currently. They are one of the Bands now that when I hear news of upcoming album, I get really excited. I've never seen them live !.. so hopefully I can fix that soon.
Yep for sure their albums are really good. Each one has its own vibe and they all have little gems on them
PLEASE see them live! I guarantee you will love them even more. I was a casual fan. That is....until I saw them live. Now, 24 shows (including Smith And Myers) and counting, I can say I am addicted. Going to show 25 this weekend!
I have to agree, love Brent's singing voice! Saw them live (I think) June 2022. So good! Started listening to them bout 15 yrs ago and they are still a fav!
Big fan the sound of madness album was the first time I listened to shinedown they just keep getting better and better it's brilliant and I think shinedown are successful because they vocals from Brent is outstanding such a powerful voice and it just works with the rest of the band especially for charity work from the excellent song atlas falls that got me through lockdown and the don't release any bad music I haven't yet saw shinedown live YET and want to see them sing hope live very inspiring
Going to my first Shinedown concert & can hardly wait. Thank you for the history, I am like your wife “new to their music” . Your review is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for doing this.
I came across Shinedown about 3 years ago. Love these guys . Just saw them at the pond in Anaheim last month..... GREAT SHOW. We are concert people. One of the best I've ever seen.
They came up on matchbox 20 Rob Thomas channel. Now I love them just as much
Hi, I just discovered your channel.😊 I just wanted to say you did an excellent job with this video👏 I agree Shinedown seems to be having an upward trajectory! They have mastered the ability to EVOLVE. That is something that many bands try to achieve and fail, especially over the 20 year mark.
so glad im discover this band.pure gem
This is my favorite band
🤘 Shinedown is awesome!!
Their magic is they're not afraid to talk about the flaws.
Big props to my dad for introducing me to shinedown when i was 6, i am now 14 and they are by far my favourite band they just get better and better 🤘!!
I love Shinedown, I have been listening to them since they came out .
Great songwriting, great musicians and from what I've seen in their interviews, great guys! I LOVE SHINEDOWN ❤❤❤ And yes, every album gets better and better
Another interesting fact is that recently the song "Dead dont die" from planet zero just became their 20th number 1 on active rock and was the most played Shinedown single on active rock in 1 week ever, and the most played song in 1 week overall since hardwired to self destruct by metallica back in 2016, 20 years into their career....
I think they rock! It seems to me that they are able to cover so many genres while still keeping their sound if that makes sense. I see this same trend with other rock bands such as Nickle Back who can go from what some might consider country all the way to heavy rock. I thinks its natural for true musicians to experiment and find things that work with-in their artistic taste. Plus its obsoletely normal for a musician to sound different when playing with different people or influences. Shinedown in particular has done very well with this and their songs touch a large audience. I experience a large range of emotion while listening to the catalog of music that I have of theirs.
I. LOVE. THIS.
I like Sin with a grin.
best song on sound of madness hands down.
@lonelysdomain If we're talking the deluxe version, I prefer Diamond Eyes and Breaking Inside with Lzzy Hale, but honestly, the whole album is a banger, Sin with a Grin included
love
I concur, sir. They DO get better with each album. Even my own love for them has had that trajectory. I liked 45 & Simple Man. I loved Sound of Madness and Amaryllis. I truly really loved Threat To Survival & Attention Attention. But let me tell you with Planet Zero I am flat out obsessed!!!!!
Keep up the good work my guy, you'll eventually get those subs and views. You do go work man
It's very simple...You work your ass off....Good things happen......That is why they're successful......
The demo version of Atmosphere is one of my favorites. Followed closely by Shed Some Light & Call Me.
Agreed.
I think Amaryllis has to be my overall favorite album by Shinedown.
Shinedown live is so good too
Brent Smith is a hell of a vocalist and writer. However I will say it's a voice your going to love or hate. I love it dude range I think is insane. The whole band I've been a fan of since I first heard 45 when I was like 17 lol and my favorite song is heros... Idk why that last part was important or why anything I said was for that matter.....
no slowing Shinedown down so to speak....IM 48 and listen religiously and my girls at 14 and 17 do as well and know most of their songs.This cant be said with alot of bands these days..they are a dying breed
Black stone cherry's 2020 album was #1
Diamond eyes wasn't on S.O.M. , unless it was a re-release
It was a bonus track on the Deluxe version.
I love Shinedown but I think Jasin need a “second chance” again in the band. They are to poppy and generic now for me.
You again lol It does seem most would agree that that more pop sound is why they are so popular. If they would have stayed with the hard rock sound I don't think they would be popular. They do alot with the money they make. They always give to charities, gave 100.000 to Direct relief besides raising 400.000 around Covid. Just gave $1 for every ticket sold from a big tour to Suicide Prevention. I think things wouldn't have been the same if the band stayed the way it was.
