Alex Hefner so just giving you some insight. In Massachusetts where I’m from there was this radio station called WAAF and back in 2003 they were in the studio and they did this song for the time on spot unrehearsed and completely nailed it and when they saw that they could do this song they song really good they recorded the version you hear now down in Florida

When the chorus hit (Couldn't totally tell) looks like you both went 'somewhere' but not necessarily the same place.
I've seen Shinedown perform live twice now, and hearing this song live with the whole crowd singing along is just jaw dropping. Talk about goosebumps, your entire body will be crawling.
This is still my favorite Alex's Mom cameo. It's the only cover of "Simple Man" that needs to exist. It's beautiful. Mom rocked the "Have a Dope Ass Day shirt" and everything.

This was her song to me it always made he tear up, every time I hear it I think of her and now that she has passed away I tear up every time, cancer took her at age 58 a year ago.

Once back in like 2010 and once last year at an acoustic show, where Brent couldn't finish the song cause he started crying at the last chorus. Barry then explained that it's a very emotional song written about a very dark time in Brent's life, and that's why they don't play it.

It's not very often that I like a cover better than the original but this one......I love this version! I get goosebumps every time I hear it, Brent's voice is AMAZING
Brent could sing the dictionary to me and my life would be complete. Your mom liked that fine shinedowns version of sitting on the dock of the bay. She will love it!!!
The first time I heard this cover, I had to pull over on the side of the road because I was bawling so hard I couldn't drive. Brent Smith has a way with his voice that invokes such strong emotions. Acoustic Shinedown is a treasure.
Shinedown is one of my most favorite bands, and this is one of my most favorite covers! Brent’s voice sounds so good in this song, and it just is amazing overall. It’s one of the few songs I can listen to over and over again and not get tired of! ❤️

Something just awesome watching a mom and her son listen to this in the moment together. Straight up wholesome. This version is actually what my mom and I danced to at my wedding.
This song still cuts straight through my heart. It came out right when my dad was killed. I was still in the military so I had to fly home for the funeral. When I got to my grandmother's house all my boys in the family were waiting for me. They pulled me aside, handed me a cold beer and played this song as loud as it would go all night.

Glad you listened to the recorded version first (Live is still amazing), but his voice shines so much better. Absolutely stunning vocals, what a talent! I saw them open for Nickleback with Breaking Benjamin about 10-12 years ago (I was working security). Great live band, and fantastic concert too!

Brent Smith's voice is something that cannot be faked or replicated. I love his voice
Brent Smith has an amazing voice! I’ve seen shinedown 3 times and they always play this song and even 15+ years after they recorded it he still sounds great. Some other shinedown songs to check out call me, crow and the butterfly, second chance, through the ghost, I’ll follow you, get up. Burning bright, 45, how did you love, shed some light, I dare you and Brent Smith also does a song with apocalyptica called not sting enough that is awesome! The whole band Lynyrd Skynyrd wasn’t killed in a plane crash, two main members, including he lead singer and a back up song singer were killed. The lead guitarist of shinedown at the time this cover was recorded was involved with the lead guitarist of Skynyrd’s bands daughter. ( the lead guitarist of Skynyrd was also the lead singer of Skynyrds brother)

Look up the official Shinedown Simple Man video. In that video, Jasin Todd (guitarist) is married to Melody Van Zant. Melody is the daughter of Ronnie Van Zant (singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd). The little girl in the video is Jason and Melody's daughter. She's holding the picture of her Grandpa Ronnie. This is deeper than just covering a song.. they're family. Shinedown is amazing! I hope you check out more. \m/

Godsmack: under your scars
There is a live version where he dedicates the song to Dimebag. The little story before hand and the vocals will give you chills.
This is more than a straight cover of Skynyrd - there are deeper connections between Shinedown and Skynyrd. Shinedown's original guitarist Jasin Todd was, and still is, married to the late great Ronnie Van Zant's (lead singer fo Skynyrd, who died in that plane crash for those that don't know) daughter, Melody. Shinedown is also from Skynyrds hometown of Jacksonville, Florida and when they started out they used play a venue called Freebird Live, which was owned by Judy Van Zant, Melody's mother and Ronnie's widow. Shinedown used to perform this as a tribute to Ronnie and a thank you to Judy for all her support. Incidentally, in the official video you see a little girl holding a framed picture of a man - the man in the picture is Ronnie Van Zant and the little girl is his granddaughter. The best comment I've seen about Shinedown and Skynyrd is "People don't realise that Shinedown are Lynyrd Skynyrd's family".
Love this I’m so glad your reacting to more Shinedown
React to Shinedown 45 acoustic!!!
Treats everyone like they're your own family, shares your passions with us and your own mother. Gets THOUSANDS of followers who look forward to you telling them positive things daily "I don't deserve this" Yes, bro. You do!
I'm a 48 yo woman. I cut my teeth on Pink Floyd, Lynard Skynard, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, etc. I love most genres of music. Brent Smith( lead singer of Shinedown) is fooking amazeballs!!! His voice is awesome!!! There's a video of him singing this at someone's house, just him and the guitarist... It blows this away, it's just phenomenal.✌❤

My only son was born in 1985 and I used to sing Simple Man as a lullaby. When this cover came out he would sing along. His birthday is tomorrow, he’ll be 36 and he is a wonderful man.
Ay, you got your mom wearing merch!
Got to listen to 45 by Shinedown. My favorite song by the them.
First of all I LOVE YOUR MOTHER!!!!!!! Rock On Mom! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 And she has told you those things, just not in the exact words. 🥰 Secondly Shinedown does do this song justice that is for sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ((Info for you and the Hefnerds: On October 20th 1977, returning from a show in Greensville, South Carolina, Skynyrd’s chartered plane ran short of fuel and crashed in the Mississippi woods. In the crash, Ronnie Van Zant lead vocals, guitarist Steve Gaines, backup singer Cassie Gaines and road manager Dean Kilpatrick along with the two pilots, lost their lives. The rest of the band members recovered from their injuries and the band went on a ten year hiatus. At this time there are only 2 of the original band still alive)) [Then an FYI there is a local band here, Leavenworth Kansas, that is a cover band called Edge Of Forever that includes a friend of mine. Look them up, sounds like the real deal] Okay Alex - Keep being you!! Have A Dope Ass Day!! Peace!! And Much Love from Kansas!! 💗🌻

Sound of Madness, Cut the Cord and 45 you won't regret it
Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines were killed in an airplane crash on October 20, 1977. They reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Ronnie's brother, Johnny Van Zant, as its lead vocalist. They continued making albums and touring up to Last year when they had their farewell tour. Though rumor has it, they are currently working on another album.😁
