I've seen them 10 times. They put on the best live performance out of any band I've seen!

About 10 years ago shinedown was staying at the hotel I was working at. One night they walked by to go to their rooms and I said “.45 is my favorite song!” They heard and came back up to me and were thankful and Chatted with me for a few mins. I told them I was in a band too. I was too nervous to ask for a pic but Eric came by the next night alone and I was able to get a pic. I also showed him my bass since I brought it to work to play late at night (I worked the graveyard shift. Saw Eric at NAMM not long after and showed him the pic and said that was me! They’re so nice!

He has overcome so frickin much and he just oozes positivity. I have a ton of admiration for Brent. and the rest of Shinedown. He tends to get all of the attention but Shinedown is more than even Brent, it's the whole band. I hope they ALL keep rockin for as long as I live. They are one of the few remaining Bastions for the real rockers out there and a true inspration for what we should all become. I hope they stay strong and keep doing what they do.

I've been trying to learn how to sing to gain some confidence and push thru over 20 years of extreme depression and suicidality. This song used to be one of my favorites (probably because it hits the theme of depression), but I hadn't heard it in probably 10 years. I made it not even one verse in before I broke down in tears.

Brent is the best male singer on the earth today. His voice is such an amazing instrument. I’ve literally seen shinedown live 6 times, and my Pandora never leaves their station!! I hope they continue to create records for many years to come.
