I am a 58 year old grandma who has finally figured out who Shinedown is for years I've heard the songs. I have to say Brent has one of the best vocal ranges and beautiful voice. Love him. Thank you sir.
Brent is one of the kindest, most down to Earth guys, (not that I know him) it’s just what I get from listening to him for so many years. He definitely put Knoxville on the map. He looks SO much better (different) now that he lost weight, cut his hair and let it go back from black to his natural red. I did like his long hair though. Love him to death and Shinedown 💕
Grew up with this band and I can tell you without his music I don't know where I'd be, Got me through a lot and I still listen to them regularly. He is a great performer and he is a truly genuine man.
It’s amazing to me to hear about his experiences addictions and stories and then to listen to his music and feel that in their songs. His voice is amazing and as a band Shinedown is great.
Seeing Shinedown for first time in Southampton changed my life and how I feel about myself as a misfit, no, an individual spirit in a world that can't accept me. I love the band and always look forward to hearing how they evolve. Brent's voice is incredible and I wish I'd followed my dream before I got sick.
I'm 100% positive I love shinedown! I was going through a bit of depression due to some tough life choices. I went to a class with psychics as the speakers. To learn more about our spirit guide's, and following our intuition. I know nothing about that. When I spoke to the psychic. I asked her if I had a spirit guide? If so what does it say about me? She replied your spirit guide said your music is your guide right now. She then said you should continue to listen to Shinedown! She even knew my favorite song. What she didn't know was I had been listening to them every night while remodeling a house I bought for my son. So I could leave him with a nice place when I leave to travel full time. She didn't even know my name at the time, she had no way of knowing my music taste. I too am a gypsy soul. Her talk inspired me and this interview did too.
Shinedown should be in the Hall of Fame already but to us they're already winners. Such an honest interview and unique insight. Mr Smith you're my everything, in the sense of finding my kindred spirit. My kids are my life but you are a huge part of my everyday, no matter what mood I'm in, there's a SD song that clears my head or helps me focus on what I need to do.
You missed the good stuff. Leave a whisper was best album. Us and them was average and ok but that album they starting drifting away from the good music they wrote. And after Jason got kicked out because Brent is an asshole they turned to stupid music
I can see myself in Brent Smith. I didnt follow the life though. I found a job and put dreams on hold. Sadly never got going again. Have much respect for this man.
I heard his name in two songs without knowing the band or seeing his name, and I swear to god in both times I was completely mind blown by his beautiful voice and incredible vocal cords he’s so talented and sooooooo underrated
OMG! This made me feel SO old! LOL I bought my first album from a music store/head shop! I had the first release of the Lynyrd Skynyrd album days before the accident, but thought "I'll get it next week" Then everything changed. :-(
Shinedown is AmaZiNG band! Only 2 bands that I like ALL their songs.. AC/DC is other band! Brent's voice is AwEsOMe! The lyrics to their songs have really gotten me through some hard times.. I listen to them everyday.. Gets me ready for work & calms my soul at night! Great job guys!!!
I love Brent Smith he is so smart very well spoken he knows what to say and he is a inspiration kind caring hearted person and he is a sweetheart and he is very very kind and he is just a amazing person I will always believe in you always I love you Brent Smith please stay safe out there love you 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
My first love for r & r started with Aerosmith's Get your wings 8 track tape in 1979 when my mom had been driving a school bus for vocational school end of the school year so mom had allowed music for these high school students on the bus. Anyway, end of year this 8 track was left on the bus. Mom brought it home and I fell in love w it. Spaced and the entire album 8 track.
I had already loved dancing and listening to music. But this was a monumental moment. Then came AC/DC. Wow. Back in black dirty deeds T N T... Which is my favorite band then you Shinedown. Wow I'm in awe of your mentality. How you care so deeply for the world. Michael Jackson would stand up and bow down to you. I do. And I love him too.
I am listening to every word that you say and digging it. I am blown away when you mention the Wyrick name. It is not a common name. I am a Wyrick and my father's family is from Tennessee. I hear there is a natural spring named "Wyrick Springs". Again how cool to hear you mention my maiden name. I don't know Travis nor am I connected with any of them but I wish I were. Great interview! Forever a fan!
The last part of this video. Where Brent says he "talks for the people that are terrified to talk about that subject".. I hope I quoted that right, sorry if I did not Brent. I have to say, and I've mentioned this in Many comments. While I was on Kemo and living alone in an upper flat in Harrison Township MI. I could see the sun rise every morning because my window looked out onto Lake St. Clair. I say that time was a caregiver for my boss that owned the house I lived in. Now the meat market was closed due to we only cut deer and it was January the bottom floor was empty and I have already buried my Sister, my Mother, My Father , and 2 Daughters! I was a mess!! I was so sick that the stairs going up to my studio apartment was outside. I couldn't get the strength to de ice the stairs. Eventually I had to and this tells you who you friends are by the way. A foot of ice I chopped away at to get to the car of the lady I was taking care of. Also it just snowed and now there's 8 inches of snow in the parking lot. The store was behind the house I have to THANK #Shinedown and God because that's all I had! A picture of Jesus I tapped above the couch I slept on and The Crow and the Butterfly album/CD... 2008 this was. I Every night I got onto my knees and Prayed for others I also was giving to St Jude at that time but I needed to hear that album. Thee words/Lyrics gave me Hope and the strength to carry on. Because so many times I was ready to end it all. So. THANK YOU BRENT AND ALL YOU GUYS FROM SHINEDOWN. *YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE!!* , 🙏✌️💯, Stevoo
When I first saw Shinedown at the PNC in June, Brent was amazing!!!! He introduced me to Shinedown Nation and I was in shock about how big Shinedown Nation. Not just the fans that come to the shows, it's the fanart and comments from fans on social media. I first became a member of Shinedown Nation in 2009. My first song was Son of Sam off Sound of Madness. My favorite band of all time is AC/DC but Shinedown is up there
i love your nothing else matters cover,i love shinedown in general i want to meet you so bad!!!!!, but i can't love you guys tho untill next time from your reeeeeeeeally big fan ;);););)
I'm conflicted hearing this. I recently checked a live show of shinedown and noticed that the only song they play that was released before the sound of madness is simple man. Now I love that song and their version of it but that's it. No .45, no fly from the inside, no save me, no I dare u, no heroes... I don't get it. I listen to the new music and I enjoy that but where's the diversity? I believe when Brent was talking about a collection, he may as well have said "market research". I guess business is business but I found this band through the first two albums and if they are not being played live, I don't have cause to actively support them. Still a fan, just feeling a bit hung out to dry.
My question is why..? Why are these guys not famous why does JB and other singers get to be on 9xo vh1 and stuff why aren't they seriously why like if you agree
Bcz ShineDown is About the Light... The LIGHT W N US, U ME, THEM, HE... US ALL ITS A SPIRITUAL ROCK'N JOURNEY Univerzal Love 2 Them Kp FUX'N ROX'N GUYZ 💞💫🤗💫💞
Here three years later after your comment, they are seriously famous! They’re one of the top most downloaded artists through Spotify and they have over 1 million listeners per month, and over 1 billion since they joined Spotify.

On stage Brent reminds me of a circus ringmaster. A true showman and incredible entertainer. Rock on Brent from one of your Memphis fans!
Just saw him last night and had the same thoughts. Excellent performer.
Same thought.
Saw him for the second time tonight, he is the best performer I've ever seen. I'd pay just to see him alone!
Another Memphis fan here ☺️
Just sucks he has a big head and is asshole.
I find his intelligence and eloquacy extremely refreshing.
I am a 58 year old grandma who has finally figured out who Shinedown is for years I've heard the songs.

I agree.
I really like his voice.... on all of their songs.
So does my 7 year old daughter! She is obsessed with him!
Grew up with this band and I can tell you without his music I don't know where I'd be, Got me through a lot and I still listen to them regularly. He is a great performer and he is a truly genuine man.
I am 70 and just found Shinedown, Brent your voice is amazing and the band as well.
It’s amazing to me to hear about his experiences addictions and stories and then to listen to his music and feel that in their songs. His voice is amazing and as a band Shinedown is great.
Used to be great. They suck now. I dont see how people can still call them rock.
If you don't like them, why are you here?
@@corypatton5888 I agree man, the first years they were great.
Been listening to shinedown since day one an still do
I love the band and Brent voice is everything to me.

Many don't realize all the real.. talent hard work that goes into a song like that with harmony or melody and tune.
Shinedown should be in the Hall of Fame already but to us they're already winners. Such an honest interview and unique insight. Mr Smith you're my everything, in the sense of finding my kindred spirit. My kids are my life but you are a huge part of my everyday, no matter what mood I'm in, there's a SD song that clears my head or helps me focus on what I need to do.
They're not eligible yet but I know in my ❤ that they will be there. I hope that they'll still be active by that time too.
He's so handsome!! 💚
I swear he can nail any hair style lol
I'm in awe....just really started listening to these guys and I can not get enough...lyrics and melody with his voice...amazing!!!
KellyBell watch his Kansas City live show. It's amazing!
You missed the good stuff. Leave a whisper was best album. Us and them was average and ok but that album they starting drifting away from the good music they wrote. And after Jason got kicked out because Brent is an asshole they turned to stupid music

Incredible singer and his lyrics are top notch.
I can see myself in Brent Smith. I didnt follow the life though. I found a job and put dreams on hold. Sadly never got going again. Have much respect for this man.
Oh the old I woulda went pro if I didn’t get hurt shit. Stop. It’s embarrassing
I would love to hang out with him. I could listen to him speak for hours.
You do not want to hang out with him. He is a doucebag. Hehas a big head. You would regret it 30 minutes in.
@@corypatton5888 you sound jealous. he’s definitely not a douchebag, but whatever you say.
@@corypatton5888 What kind of fucking close-minded, pinheaded comment is that?
Gosh. I love his attitude and the energy he puts off.🖤 Brent oh Brent
I adore Brent! Love his voice and how humble he is. He’s one of the good humans!! ❤ He knows he’s blessed!
This guy deserves way more attention than he gets
More ATTENTION ATTENTION you mean…😁
AMAZING entertainer, song writer/singer, artist, man ! Could watch him and listen to his voice 24/7! 😍
That South Carolina patch! 👍🏼
Damn I love listening to him.
You make life worth living. You are rock n roll.
Best voice❤️💯💯
Such a good guy.
Yes, what you say matters! This band has got me through a lot.
i am so in love with this man
I heard his name in two songs without knowing the band or seeing his name, and I swear to god in both times I was completely mind blown by his beautiful voice and incredible vocal cords he’s so talented and sooooooo underrated

Shinedown is Absolutely one of my favorite things to bands. But I have to say Brent reminds me of Lloyd Christmas with swag in this interview.
Lmao hahahaha

LOVE SHINEDOWN! 💕
Hello from East Tennessee (ktown) for those of us that call Knoxville that.
Have so much respect for you saying your most memorable moment was having your parents there
You are amazing
Always wanted to hear this! Thanks for sharing!
I am listening to every word that you say and digging it. I am blown away when you mention the Wyrick name. It is not a common name. I am a Wyrick and my father's family is from Tennessee. I hear there is a natural spring named "Wyrick Springs". Again how cool to hear you mention my maiden name. I don't know Travis nor am I connected with any of them but I wish I were. Great interview! Forever a fan!
Brent can sing his Ass off love Shinedown
I hang on every word he says!
When he said Mötley I almost freaked cuz Shout at the Devil was my first tape 🤘🏻
Me to , I was 13 wearing a motley crue t-shirt to picture day at school .......my parents were pissed.
Wow what a cool guy
That’s pretty good advice folks
Always respectful.
South Carolina patch on his jacket !
You’re helping me defeat myself
This is so interesting
