Must admit, was not the biggest Showdown fan but this is the kind of stuff that can change a mind. Both his voice and his interaction with the crowd was absolutely top notch. The guitar work was just as impressive. I just became a fan.
Wow, what a performance. Creativity, humor and something no one who was ever there will forget. That's why you go to shows, the unexpected brilliance and magic.
Been listening to Shinedown since I was a very young man. So been I believe 18 years. Stumbled upon a video of Brent singing this song on UA-cam in a living room. I believe at that point there was only 1000+ likes. Been a fan ever since. From leave a whisper to today. Can't wait to see them in February!!
Never heard of shinedown, but, one night I was listening to various songs, and then "Simple Man" came on. But it didn't sound right...it was better than I remember (I'm 64). I looked at my phone and it was Shinedown from 11 years ago! That was about a year ago. I fell in love with Shinedown's version of "Simple Man". When I saw this video, I was super sad! Because he is so right! What a memory that audience has! I wish I had this memory! I hope I get to see them sometime soon. Thank you for such a beautiful version! 😍
I'm 53 and this is my favorite band . I grew up during the 70's lived through the big hair bands ,grunge basically watched rock progress into what it is today. I love the humble attitude of this band . They will go down as one of the greatest bands ever.
This was sung to me as a baby and to this day is my go to song when I'm in a funk this song is literally the exact words my mom has always told me baby just be a simple man
He is one of the greatest frontman ever to be honest interacts great with the crowd and is a phenomenal vocalist. That’s why I’ve seen them 5 times live.
Seen them live 4 times and I will go whenever they come close. Love them and they sound exactly like you think they would sound live. What you get on the album is what you get live. A perfect band
The beauty of music is being able to share! Come to my small town! You’ll have a massive crowd from hundreds of miles! This is the song my son plays for me every chance he gets! And says it’s our Mother son wedding dance song! Come to small town Texas! We will show you a down home good time sir! Guys of the band! We gotcha covered!,
I so hope to see these guys perform live one day. they seem to put on a great show. It is not about bells and whistles it is about loving music and they are all so talented..
Do it, Just get gen admission tix and grab ahold of a barrier in the front and get ready for the show of a lifetime. I've seen a LOT of bands in my 51 years. The SD guys sound as good and even better live as they do in studio. The atmosphere of a SD show and the love these guys have for thier fans are immeasurable.
Then I'd check out more of Shinedown ('45' is one of my favorites) AND all the Smith's & Myers' (Brent Smith & Zach Myers FROM Shinedown) acoustic cover sessions... PHENOMENAL! They're the ONLY ones that can cover Simple Man & actually MATCH the quality of the original by LS too!
Okay now Brent, I (at one point in time in my life) I was 15, and AT A Led Zeppelin concert in Denver, Colorado! Right after "Led Zeppelin 4" and just before the "Houses of the Holy" release. Yes, there is no doubt you bring to the house (of your own) memorable events and do wish I can attend one soon: but you Sir, best not disrespect My Zeppelin! Now, if you would please, have an awesome day! : )
I think ive said this before Zach is just a great guitar player i love his style. Zach is the perfect guitar player for Brent and Brent is the perfect singer for Zachs playing. They just fit perfectly.
Best male vocalist currently performing. The lead singer of Five Finger Death Punch is a close second. Lzzy Hale of Halestorm is our current best female vocalist...not even close.
Seen them play this twice. Once w godsmack the other with three days grace and breaking benjamin. Always a great show. Besides 1 w technical difficulties
Led Zeppelin would love to be as talented as Shinedown. Say what you will, but I have attended concerts over 4 decades (from all genre's) and can tell you that the ONLY band that has ever come close to producing the vocals Brents Smith has, the passion and meaning with which the lyrics and music are performed and interaction from the crowd, was Guns N Roses. I have seen some, if not most of the biggest and most talented artists and I would go see Shinedown over ANY that I have ever watched. Lyrics that have meaning, vocals that will blow you over, amazing percussion, all with spot on musical timing. There are so few artists who produce a timeless sound and able to stay relevant. Shinedown is not only one of those, but able to do it with every single album for over a decade.
I misread the Guns n' Roses part but not the Led Zeppelin part. Im pretty sure that they could care less about shinedown. Theyre one of the biggest, well known, rock band of all time. They made some of the best music for their era.
Rob Wilkie idk, zeppelin was the best live band I've ever heard. I was 17 when they played the garden and it was without a doubt the most moving experience ever. And I've seen both queen and GNR, but something about zep that nothing will ever be able to come close to touching. Shinedown reminds me a lot of stone sour in a way, Corey Taylor gets personal with the crowd the same way he does. Both put on great shows
My 19 year old daughter loves these guys and so do I... We've got to go and see them...
Must admit, was not the biggest Showdown fan but this is the kind of stuff that can change a mind. Both his voice and his interaction with the crowd was absolutely top notch. The guitar work was just as impressive. I just became a fan.
The power of that crowd gave me chills

This band has always stayed Humble and Kind !! God Bless you and keep on singing
Cool Band to cover this song! I saw these guys in or somewhere around 2011 in Tupelo. Ms. opening for '3 doors down'!
I met Brent today on an airport.. what a regular guy, he couldn't have be friendlier.. so down to earth and genuine

Completely LOVED this…. That VOICE of yours ….DAMN 😎
One of the best front men in the Rock... His voice is full of southern soul that you can feel in your bones when he sings.
Absolutely one of the best groups out there .
I'm 53 and this is my favorite band . I grew up during the 70's lived through the big hair bands ,grunge basically watched rock progress into what it is today. I love the humble attitude of this band . They will go down as one of the greatest bands ever.
They should. Truth through lyrics and concerts. The way it used to be. Deserve so much more credit and popularity!
Definitely one of my favourite bands. Been to quite a few shows and each time the atmosphere has be brilliant, energetic and friendly.
Always been a fan since the beginning. This is a great acoustic. ❤❤❤❤
Brent Smiths Vocals can send the chills down my spine like no other vocalist 🥶🤩🤠😎
This was sung to me as a baby and to this day is my go to song when I'm in a funk this song is literally the exact words my mom has always told me baby just be a simple man
OMG NEEEDED THIS ❣️❣️❣️🤟♥️♥️ in Sept 2020 🤟 STAY SAFE & STAY STRONG ❣️🤘 Chrisie frm NJ 🤟
Shinedown is a class act. They have raised the bar. Outstanding performance. Much love&respect from Florida.
He is one of the greatest frontman ever to be honest interacts great with the crowd and is a phenomenal vocalist. That’s why I’ve seen them 5 times live.
I'm not tear n up I'm not tear n up......who am I kidding....absolutely a masterpiece thank you!!!

First time hearing him sing. Wow. Excellent. ✌️
Seen them live 4 times and I will go whenever they come close. Love them and they sound exactly like you think they would sound live. What you get on the album is what you get live. A perfect band

I only heard this powerful song for the first time 2 months ago. Amazing my only son is 12. His father died a few months ago. This song says it all.

@@randyyoung9892 That punk wouldn't know 'classical rock'if he was slapped up side the head with it'!☆☆☆☆☆5stars for your comment Randy!
Yall do realize Brent is/was married to a VanZant, and Johnny helped get his career moving....He has very close ties To Skynyrd.....
Brent and Zach are adorable. brents smile is golden.
his personality and voice are a work of art (: i'm not sure if that sounds wierd or not (:
They make a great pair he sings amazing and can sing anything, o boy goes off on tht guitar big time as well
my GOD!!! thats is all i can say..the things the things , i get butterflies everytime i hear his voice
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen such chemistry between musicians. Loved it!!
Always liked these guys. Just rock n roll.
Everytime my son and I get together we sing this beautiful song together
brent and zach together are so powerful. i could listen to them play/sing anything all day long
Blows my mind every time I hear this
Goosebumps ….
I remember asking my mom what the meaning of life was and this was her answer

You have to see my face in the mirror facing my reality, sober now but I’m still hurting and emotionally broken.

haha compares Led Zeppelin to Shinedown and then says Axl Rose has good vocals. Thanks for the laugh
You obviously can't read Jason

Shinedown reminds me a lot of stone sour in a way, Corey Taylor gets personal with the crowd the same way he does. Both put on great shows
There's more to talent in music than vocal talent.
you guys are fucking amazing, want to see you guys so bad in concert
They look like they are having a great time,I hate we missed to the tour, not gonna miss the next tour
2:50 I just realized Brent could be Katee Sackhoff's brother.....
Guess I'm never unseeing that now. Haha
