shinedown

a kick-ss band with lyrics that actually mean something, unlike most of the tripe out there.
shinedown – 45 is my favorite song.
a “southern rock” band from jacksonville, fl. heavily influenced by otis redding, led zeppelin and lynyrd skynyrd. those influences are heavily reflected in their music, as they have re-recorded lynyrd skynyrds’ “simple man”. shinedown is made up of: brent smith(vocals), jasin todd(guitar), barry kerch(drums) and brad stewart(b-ss).

first brought to the world with their debut alb-m “leave a whisper”, they toured on that alb-m for 2 years. in october of ’05 they released their 2nd alb-m ent-tled “us and them”.
while conventional wisdom dictates that you have your whole life to write your first alb-m and just weeks to write the second, smith begs to differ. “i had more to talk about on the second record than i did on the first record,” he notes. and though they were written back at home, smith says many of the new songs were inspired by shinedown’s travels – whether ruminations about his own state of being or reflections about the people and stories he encountered on the road.

“i wanted to talk about what i saw,” smith explains. “there are so many songs about fans and the people i talked to, and their lives and their relationships. they’re just the most incredible people in the world, but they have so many serious, serious problems to deal with. i wanted to talk about those things. in a way, i feel like i took what they couldn’t talk about and hopefully i wrote down what they felt. so when the alb-m comes out and they hear the songs, they’ll be able to look at themselves and say, ‘he said everything that i wanted to say.’ ”

that, he adds, is why shinedown decided to call the alb-m “us and them.” “it’s a dedication to our fans,” smith says, “a thank-you to them for the support, for everything they’ve given us, and for being there from day one. it’s us and them.”

an awesome rock band…songs include: stanger inside (my fav.), 45, fly from the inside, left out, burning bright…and so on. you should definitly listen to them.
me: have you eva heard of shinedown?
person1: h-ll yes, i luff them!
person2: are you kidding…they suck…
me: -grabs her really hot french fry and stabs person2 in the eye-
one of the best bands there is out there. their lyrics are meaningful without useless bits of fluff, every word means something. some of my favorites would be second chance, the crow and the b-tterfly, if you only knew, and a very awesome and kick-ss song sound of madness.
i love shinedown! they kick justin beiber’s -ss!
a great rock band from jacksonville, florida! members are brent smith(singer), barry kerch(drummer), eric b-ss(b-ss player), and zach myers(guitarist). most popular songs are 45, simple man cover, and second chance. they have 3 alb-ms (leave a whisper, us and them, and sound of madness) and their 4th alb-m is supposed to be released in 2012. great band!!
and i’m staring down the barrel of a 45, swimming through the ashes of another life.

-“45”, shinedown ‘leave a whisper’
a stupid band that makes me want to vomit in my own shoes.
shinedown sucks especially that stupid b-tterfly crow sh-t song blaaaaa arggg blaaa (that was me vomiting in my shoes)
one of the worst bands ever, “second chance” was played over the radio so many f-cking times. thank god that stoped, but now they play this sh-t that sounds like something an angry garbage man would listen too.
radio: my eyes are open wide, by the way i made it through the day…
jimmy: wtf is that supposed to mean
me: idk, shinedown sucks, change it to dc 101
