Brent is like the Eddie Vedder, Myles is like the Cornell. Thats the only way i can think of it, Vedder is pure emotion Cornell is range and emotion. Awesome. I love it.
Im thinking the same thing. Having never seen any live clips it honestly makes me wonder if he had good vocal technique at this point. Kinda sounds like hes trashing his voice. And later on he never sang this song that high again. Maybe its just from singing way to much on tour idk
I was Barry's Drum Tech during this tour ( I'm there hiding behind the amps with the camera guy.) We flew into NYC immediatley after doing Earthday Birthday in Orlando. After 18 months & hundreds of shows, Brent finally just lost his voice at sound check. Being this was the bands network debut, Brent didn't want to let anyone down. I hooked him up with a doctor and cortisone shot. I know the real pain he was in. Unless you have a comparable performance experience, hold your judgments. Crash
He actually seemed to have fucked it up because most of the high notes he was too afraid to try. That's the key with them, you have to be confident and go for it. If you hold back you won't make it up there
He freaking nailed that. Maybe not in pitch but I get it that guy hits some hard notes on the record to hit that every night his voice would be obliterated I sing too and have sang this song plenty of times but the way he did this was beautifully done because even though he didn’t hit the highs that pure emotion was just flowing through him through that whole thing.
@@Bringadingus what is your problem? you've gone on multiple comments just to discredit people's opinions and insult them and the music they enjoy. its fine if you don't like the music but you don't need to be a dick.
It's not about suicide...kind of. it's about hope and not giving into the suicide. look it up. It's a very inspiring song. It's about a friend of his who was going to kill himself but didn't succeed and now is doing great with a happy family.
Travis D I know the whole story and I do agree that it is a very inspiring song. Good to hear that his friend is doing well. I just mean because I know that a lot of people think that that this song is about suicide.
I'll give you all some insite on this, since I was there hiding behind the amps with the camara guy. We flew into NYC in the early am after doing 2 shows in Orlando, Earthday Birthday & an accoustic show. Brent wasn't feeling well and after 2 years & 100's of shows, his voice gave out at soundcheck. This was the bands network debut and Brent didnt want to let anyone down, so I hooked him up with a doctor for a cortisone shot. This performance is amazing considering the pain he was in
well imo, i like live performances sounding different from the recordings, it adds diversity, and actually shows the band are playing live and not faking it, and after all hes only human, not a robot, so he can express the same lyrics in different ways live, personally i prefer the live versions.
we neither....his voice is amazing,this video is live how many artist can u say sounds just like their cd's....hmmmmm....... not MANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! angel,mike
If you don't believe crashes story he is right Brent has said in interviews he would take cortisone shots to sing when he blew his voice out and Shinedown tour for 2 to 3 years nonstop he can't sing high notes he would destroy his voice or blow it out early in the tour.
I thought this was a good performance. Remember, they were probably hitting the 3 year mark of touring. That does a lot to the vocal cords. Brent has always been a consistently good singer and its always fun watching this band play.
i saw them in Glasgow last November, excellent band. My favourite right now by a country mile. They tour for 12 weeks, have a week off and then back on the road so his voice is going to be fucked more often than not. Try dinging those songs for 2 hours or so every other night and your voice would be broken
Dude, I made my pics & the guys comments public on FB for all to see(Tom Crash Grosse). It will not let me post a link here. The only reason I posted this in the first place was to open the eyes of the haters who only saw the bad in this video, not knowing the story behind it. If, or when you decide to check them out... a nice gesture would be to remove this ..Thanks Crash
my brother is in the military as well. a major in the army. altho he doesn't fight on the front lines (he's the head of ground patrol) i know he's had his times
musicseeker: Brent sometimes gives it a little much, and the way it sounds, he did a show last night and shot his voice. This happened back when i seen them in Detroit when they were touring with Theory. He tries to out sing the crowd.
@llllllllllama It´s wrong what you say about Brent being better live, but Brent´s voice has such RAW power to it, but what you are very right about, is that one simply cannot compare Brent and Myles, because they are two, so very different vocalists. Myles Kennedy on one hand, is an amazing vocalist with insane vocal range, and has perfection in his voice, perfect pitch...Brent Smith has a voice with such power and Emotion, and THAT´s what carries his voice to an insane lv as-well.
All singers go through this with their voices, jacoby shaddix of papa roach and i think chester of linkin park did also and they have to get operations or rest for awhile, brent smith is one of the bestest and greatest singers of all time
Not trying to chastise anyone. The dude is a great vocalist. He has a hell of a voice. Im just saying i think he records the album a little beyond his ability when it comes to pulling it off show after show.
he never could hit the high notes live!...and in the studio i say they were punched in on cue. on one of his Good days! it is sad...cause on the records he sounds phenomenal! and we expect that when we go to see them live...anyway! i still love their music!
Shinedown is all about being positive, so I normally to respond to anything else when it comes to my friends...but I think the boys would approve of some shared pics...so here ya go Find me on Facebook, my name is Crash (Tom) and look for the album called Music Stuff And please try to be more positive...the world needs it...Thanks!
Thanks, bout time someone said that. I think the crappier production on the two older albums sound better than sound of madness for that reason. Stupid expensive producers.
@simeon58 Myles is one of my fav singer apart from Brent, but the point is, Brent tours constantly more than AB... It wears his voice down, even Myles sometimes avoids high notes, such as in metallingus, and gives the mic to the crowd when he cant sing these parts... I am a die hard fan of Myles, but these two are incomparable, they are both different styles, Myles has this thin, range vocals, while brent has that thick soulful sound...
@SoulessRocker1 those are a good three. i like Seether and T.D.G. give Chirs Cornell (Audioslave & Soundgarden) and Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) a shot
@axisify Definitely not..but, have you read all comments omg ? He was after 2 shows in 2 days..his cvoice was cracked and still he sang like this ?, omg he had to be in a such pain and can sing like this ? I am not sure if even God could do that like him..
his tone is good and sounds like the record, but he wasnt hitting any of the big notes that end out the chorus. i know according to the comment at the top, he wasnt feeling well and thats understandable. although, i have seen alot of his other performances on youtube, and he honestly tends to do this alot. he'll change the melody up and make it easier for him to sing especially when they play acoustic stuff. to be honest it can be kind of frustrating, cuz he has some good melody's.
@TheBruinsfan22 i must retort.. please dont reply how your not allowed to watch it if you dont like it.. how will you know unless you experiece it.. sill7y goose. i mean. nevermind
I just wish he would hit the high notes. I have looked forever and even bought the dvd. I have yet to here it. Good day or not, it shouldnt be on the album if you can't pull it off live. Im not saying you have to be perfect every time, but dont dodge every single hard part in your song.
Weird. I like this. But not the 2019 live... More dynamics and songs seem more interesting in this clip. Less so in 2019, which didn’t do much for me. Am I missing something?
this video is awesome screw all of you who think other i would like to see anyone do better since he is not singing up too his ability you all must excellent singers huh
@axisify or maybe he doesn't want to fuck his voice up like James Hetfield did because he wants to have a long lasting career and successful record sells.
I really like this band and I agree that it's not possible to consistently sound like the recording especially when you are on tour, but every single time I've seen them live, he sounds pretty bad. There's saving your voice, which is what Miles Kennedy does, and then there's not trying (that hard). I sing this song a lot and the only part he should need to save would be on the ending. Still like 'em though. Just saying.
Let me say first of all that I have mad respect for brent smith and the boys from sd. I think he is one of the best singers in the game today. But I can't help but notice that he keeps dodging the high notes on this one. There are places on the record where he goes for high b's, but he changes it in this performance... He is still sicknasty awesome, but I'm just saying... What's up with that?
@BALDwGLASSES 1 jasin * 2 yes he was a great guitarist but sd needed change 3 zach is debatably better than jasin. u can have ur own opinion but sd as a whole is/always was awseome.
Ability of live's crazy really you. Please look at the Linkin Park. Efforts how much .. You just said that the only voice recording .. And I'm sorry ... really whether played ...
@coleby6661 Sry and dont think..:) Shouting isnt counted i hope ? But your voice, i think it isnt the one you want to listen..And you cant compare Myles and Brent..Brent is better live, and his voice is so powerful, and Myles can sing really high notes, but doesnt have the fantastic voice of Brent..
RIP jason todd he was an awesome gutair player very origanl not this other guy who.he thinks he knows and if you know real shinedown this is it. Its not that pop crap that they have now EWW they had more metal and now they ruined it because the world gone to shit with pop besides ice cube i wanna throw a shoe at the lead singer
You’re not the best rock vocalist of all time if you can’t even hits the notes you recorded. I like Shinedown and Brent, and I think he’s a good singer, but c’mon. NOT the best.
Here for wisdom rock
💙
I'm trying to guess exactly at which point it would have been said.
@@PaulC-Drums when he mentions the "young man's eyes", the "unborn child", or the "puzzle called life".
WE HAVE COME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN
What a relief... im not the only one that had to know lmao... thanks to these little breadcrumbs, im assured this is the place
Wisdom rock!
Brent is like the Eddie Vedder, Myles is like the Cornell. Thats the only way i can think of it, Vedder is pure emotion Cornell is range and emotion. Awesome. I love it.
who is Myles?
@@Felipe-cu5ss Probably Myles from Alter Bridge.
It those guys had no talent, sure
I give Brent all the credit in the world because he sacrificed himself for the band. That is true band loyalty.
I kind of miss these days... Shinedown is still great, but its performances like this that show how hard working this band really is.
man my voice is just hurting from hearing this. man props to brent for putting on such an amazing show. this just shows what brent is capable of
Exactly i totally agree, he is so awesome
Im thinking the same thing. Having never seen any live clips it honestly makes me wonder if he had good vocal technique at this point. Kinda sounds like hes trashing his voice. And later on he never sang this song that high again. Maybe its just from singing way to much on tour idk

I agree, he is an awesome great singer and it happens to alot of singers and they just need to rest awhile, thanks for the input
I think it sounds great
whoa..i love this dudes vocal control.. great band
He actually seemed to have fucked it up because most of the high notes he was too afraid to try. That's the key with them, you have to be confident and go for it. If you hold back you won't make it up there
@@HelloThere.....Wow you seem like a real expert, little guy from the internet
My favorite 2000s band, love Shinedown 🤘🤘
the 3 best rock vocalist i have ever heard:
Chris Cornell, Myles Kennedy, and Brent Smith. they are awesome.
Layne Staley?
@@tristencoon8198 Also Layne Yeah. 🤘
Vedder .
I would add Shaun Morgan from Seether, he sounds just like the album live
@@user-ge6vo4hj1t Aaron Lewis from Staind too
This is my fellings at this point
It really hits home - 45
He freaking nailed that. Maybe not in pitch but I get it that guy hits some hard notes on the record to hit that every night his voice would be obliterated I sing too and have sang this song plenty of times but the way he did this was beautifully done because even though he didn’t hit the highs that pure emotion was just flowing through him through that whole thing.
Brent is one of the best singers around and for being sick, he did a great job, shinedown is the best, and still is
one of the best rock voices ever
lol third-rate D-grade Vedder/Stapp ripoff, worse than Creed
@@Bringadingus what is your problem? you've gone on multiple comments just to discredit people's opinions and insult them and the music they enjoy. its fine if you don't like the music but you don't need to be a dick.
When they were awesome!
They are still awesome
Not anymore, no.
HappyBirthdayPaulie so glad other people see it
Still are to me
i cant stop listening to this
Kind of surprised they were allowed to play this song on tv
It's not about suicide...kind of. it's about hope and not giving into the suicide. look it up. It's a very inspiring song. It's about a friend of his who was going to kill himself but didn't succeed and now is doing great with a happy family.
Travis D I know the whole story and I do agree that it is a very inspiring song. Good to hear that his friend is doing well. I just mean because I know that a lot of people think that that this song is about suicide.
that‘s 2000s
If that's him on an off day all I can say is Damn. I think they rock.
One of the Best Voices in Rock and Roll !!
Id love to see Brent and Chris Cornell do a song together, now that be awesome...
.. yeah.
I think I saw one of them in a hardware store. I gave them a coupon.
I'll give you all some insite on this, since I was there hiding behind the amps with the camara guy.
We flew into NYC in the early am after doing 2 shows in Orlando, Earthday Birthday & an accoustic show.

Wow thanks for sharing
Awesome.
Makes this performance a million times more impressive than it already was, thanks for sharing!
they are crazy good, he does better live now, i saw them live a couple weeks ago, they were in medford it was amazing
I seen them live on the uproar tour on sunday... Amazing
brent smith drinks magic because his voice is just so damn good. shinedown ROCKS!
well imo, i like live performances sounding different from the recordings, it adds diversity, and actually shows the band are playing live and not faking it, and after all hes only human, not a robot, so he can express the same lyrics in different ways live, personally i prefer the live versions.
thanks you for putting this on!!!!!!!!!!!ive been looking for this forever
Brent is the best Rock vocalist of all time definitely the most talented and I’m not biased or nor do I pick favorites
Maverick182full Freddie Mercury?? Layne Staley?? Corey Taylor?? Not saying he’s not great but there’s better.
@@kadenmorore6185 Yeah
Kaden Morore Freddy Mercury, hell no. I like the others though. I’d put Chris Cornell above all though
Jared Leto > brett smith
Headles Norseman I’m just going to pretend I never saw this comment.
No I'd say he's right up there with Adam Gontier
Yea
@@zackgontier4122 bruh coming back to this comment from 8 YEARS ago is wild what, who let me have a google account that young lol
@@Tabs793 lol
He was sick during this and still wanted to play for their fans know the facts before you be ignorant
Holy Crap! He looks just like my friend used to. oh and they sounded amazing live, i saw them in like september of 2009
20 years later
I remember watching this episode of Conan O'Brien. The next minute I was on Kazaa downloading the album. 6 yrs ago...wow
myles kennedy and brent smith are two very great singers and they both sing good live
we neither....his voice is amazing,this video is live how many artist can u say sounds just like their cd's....hmmmmm....... not MANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! angel,mike
Exactly I totally agree, and he was sick and still got up there and owed it

I agree, alot of singers do this, and they have to have operations or just rest awhile, it happens and brent smith is the bestest and greatest singer
brent smith one of the best singer to sing live
incredible!!
he's one of the best, alongside aaron lewis and corey taylor, still behind adam gontier

To make the album amazing I mean his live performances are still very good
awesome!

Wtf?? when I ended the video I said: "Wow, the guy really has a incredible voice"...and then I see this comments, I dont get it...
@a7xMattShadows67 i can't listen to music in a day without listening to something with his voice on it.
Not excatly like the recording but what song is.Loved it anyway!!!!!! Shinedown is kiss ass Rock on guys!!!!!!!!! Awesome performance!!!!
Not trying to chastise anyone. The dude is a great vocalist. He has a hell of a voice. Im just saying i think he records the album a little beyond his ability when it comes to pulling it off show after show.
@a7xMattShadows67 your right. i love myles voice. everything he sings comes out gold
uh... the scream at 2:14 sounded perfectly normal and strong to my ears?
he never could hit the high notes live!...and in the studio i say they were punched in on cue. on one of his Good days! it is sad...cause on the records he sounds phenomenal! and we expect that when we go to see them live...anyway! i still love their music!
What guitar is that I can't find out..i want one
Definitely looks a PRS, look up some of those, you'll likely find one or something very similar to it
this sounds good and all.....but damnit i wanna hear him hit those high notes at least once!!!!!!
@axisify well you want to do better than normal on the actual album so people will buy it to hear that strong performance otherwise not heard live

The only ones that sound good live to me is staind godsmack a7x shinedown three days grace and korn
he doesn't do it anymore because it wreaks havock on your vocals, if he always did that, he'd sound terrible now, i think he's still fantastic.
