Shinedown Son of Sam

[MotleyBaby89]

This song is amazing!!

[PowderedHappines]

I really like the sound of the Sound of Madness bonus tracks. They all have a similar vibe, I would love it if they made an entire album that sounds like Son of Sam, Energy, and I Own You.

[MegaMega95]

great song

[TheFernodragon]

I think this song is awesome although I like Sound of Madness better

[debbiepelbry]

Whoaitslu heck yes!! Waltz #1 is my fave!

[whoaitslu]

Elliott Smith......just putting that out there.

[KnowItsYou]

HOW THE F*CK Can this song be so poor viewed? Very underrated!

[dominaters999getsome]

i can't believe this godly song doesnt even have 100,000 views........

[drwhitehead91]

@dominaters999getsome I honestly didnt even know this song (or the other 2 extra songs on this album) even existed until I went to Wiki to do some reading on Shinedown. The three songs are amazing. I really love this song.

[TheEminemkid]

this should be in the zombie map for black ops.

[dominaters999getsome]

@TheEminemkid LOL yeah

[pureofmind777]

I would like to kick the 8 peoples ass'es that voted thumbs down on this song. Me thinks they have never seen a baseball bat before :D I would like to see them click that button with a 6'1" beast with a Louisville slugger standing over their dome.

[EduardoTucciDrums]

And I will catch you....But who might break the fall?

Goddaaaaaaaaaamn, I might be the son of Sam!!

The only child of a holy man!

I staaaaaand alone for all to see,

'Cause they ain't never seen a war like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!(8)

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG! YEAH!

[adamJcarter]

that god awful movie final destination 4 didn't deserve this MASTERPIECE in that movie!.....here's my top 5 shinedown songs:

1. Burning Bright

2. Stranger Inside

3. Crying Out

4. 45

5. .....oh shit, it's a tie between I Own You and the rest of their songs :D

SHINEDOWN FUCKING ROCKS!!!!!!!

[KrossPoison1]

I'd love to hear more songs that are this brutal on their next album. The soft touches are real nice, but stuff like this kicks ass too!

[maximoguitar16]

Pure epicnes

[Warriorofthebattle]

Ive been a fan for 2 years, and they are the bomb. I LOVE this song.

[deadenough12]

@BloodHound19569 yep ,i see it too

[BloodHound19560]

any one notice a white flashing light?

[ParasectFTW]

Too cool. :P

I'm not sure it's about actual David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) or if it's a metaphor, I think it may be about the 9/11 truth movement, if you really look at the lyrics.

[ugie1028]

@ParasectFTW

I think your right. (About 9/11 truth.) son of sam 'Uncle sam.' and 'Burning buildings then they fall.' or w/e the lyrics were.

[teamalice115]

i'm the daughter of sam,(and my name is sam)does that count?

[xam582]

im here because zhaw

[guitarg3ek]

the third verse gave me a boner

[justanumbercaitie14]

this song is so amazing! it shows a completely different side of Shinedown.

if you dont know much Shinedown but love this song, try I Own You, Energy, and Diamond Eyes (boom lay boom).

though i cant see how anyone who isnt a dedicated shinedown fan knows this song.

LOVE IT!

[TheOnlyKyrenSkrumeda]

good song bad quality

[asadrocksali1]

really cool song it berings out the beast in you

[L3thalD0s3]

Saw this live FOKKIN EPIC SON!

[projekt616]

Hella fucking gay

[riotgirl367]

@projekt616 dude don't use "gay"in a bad way it's not nice...you know how many "gay"people i know who would be sad if they see this...please think of the feelings you would hurt before putting something down like this please

[parasythe]

@riotgirl367 emo and a half

[riotgirl367]

@parasythe dude still not okay

[Apollosungod]

@riotgirl367 as if someone is going to care about hurting someone else's feelings on the internet.

Look, gay isnt a synonym for stupid, but thats not going to stop people from using it that way. i know gay people who use it that way too. dont get overly offended by people who comment on videos on youtube, they are entitled to their own opinion. Its not your job to enforce what they can and cannot say, or what they should and should not say. That is for them to decide. Flag them if you want to.

[riotgirl367]

son of sam,sin with a grim, and sound of maddness

[riotgirl367]

i stand alone for all to see!i love that part

[ikeelyou21]

this band is awesome!

[SailorReyes]

okokokok this is nothing like A7xcrap!!

yeah the VOCALS aren't his best but the lyrics are probably tight.....

and what album is this? I should've known about this....why havn't i?

[mynameisnyhm]

@SailorReyes its for the sound of madness bonus track

[9654h]

the good thing about shinedown is that they can change from light rock to heavy rock not mny bands can do that

[FULLMETALVAMP87]

Blasphemer's! God have mercy on you all cause the $#!* is about hit the fan.

[DissocialPersonality]

@FULLMETALVAMP87 goddamn thats gonna fucking suck

[goldheartagram777]

@FULLMETALVAMP87 yeah ill probably get some critisisim but i wuold love this song if it wasnt for blasphemy lol

[LENNYlanes]

is this supposed to be rock and roll cause this sounds like pop with distortion

[reinventmadness]

@LENNYlanes WTF

[mountaindew360]

@LENNYlanes what?!?!?! no...

[maximoguitar16]

COJONUDO

[Orangeness81]

Not gonna lie, the first 20 seconds of this sound like slipknot

[MisterSam1000]

@Hesht Okay thanks can i purchase it in a retail store or do i have to buy it over the internet do you know?

[MisterSam1000]

What Album is this called?

[Hesht]

@MisterSam1000 Sound of Madness, it was a bonus track

[MisterSam1000]

Man in a couple of years im gonna get married and get my wife pregnant when she does im going to tell her to swallow my ipod with this song on it so my baby can be a Shinedown Fan like me.. that and its gonna be his anthem i guess XD

[adamJcarter]

@MisterSam1000 or, you can put ear phones on her stomach with this song playing, make it easier on her you know...instead of ingesting a ipod haha

[MisterSam1000]

MY NAMES SAM!!! XD

[komajr1996]

SHINEDOWN FOREVER!!!!!!

[Michiganidiots]

Respond to this video... WTF Avenged Sevenfold pop??? Have u heard nightmare

[cantwellben20]

ive been looking for the name of this song!! thank you!

[firebreather1234]

@gotf umm who cares?

[KhamnNacuri]

Why the heck haven't I heard this song?!? I thought I knew Shinedown inside and out...QQ

[KemonoAkiah]

If you like this song, then check out Avenged 7x. They sound kind of alike, but they are more pop. Shinedown is more grungy rock.

[4c2]

@KemonoAkiah how the hell is a7x pop?

[dreadeddan93]

@4c2 tbh. it classed system of a down as pop (itunes)

[Michiganidiots]

@KemonoAkiah you fuckin retard, shinedown and a7x sound nothing alike, listen to welcome to the family aswell, my god you must be deaf and stuipid.

[MAjYQSammi]

I heard this song live at Carnival of Madness in Detroit. Badass!

[marah131]

@MAjYQSammi ME TOO

[BABYg198916]

[mjf3140]

[cheerangelris]

@BABYg198916 awh man me too!

[illium1865]

Wasn't this one of the three B - Sides of The Sound Of Madness?

[Guitarfreek90699]

i saw these guys in charlotte at verizon and they were great. it was sevendust, chevelle, 10 years, and puddle of mudd. i was in the moshpit during chevelle. hhaha but yeah great show

[0Frankthepimp0]

@Guitarfreek90699 i was there too i wasnt in the mosh pit but hell ya it was the best show ever

[Thallasx1]

@Guitarfreek90699 that show was pretty epic. disturbed september 1st will be the next big one

[xRipzZ]

Charlotte Ampitheatre !

[0Frankthepimp0]

@xRipzZ hell ya soooooo sick

[xRipzZ]

@Soronax dude iwas there to man that concert was AMAZING .. i really went for Chevelle but Shinedown was great !!

[2evenflo]

@xRipzZ totally agreed man i was there yesterday it was sick!

[LAURAisLOVE]

@2evenflo fuck yeah, sickest show I've been to all year!

[0Frankthepimp0]

@LAURAisLOVE sickest show ever

[2evenflo]

@LAURAisLOVE chevelle was deff worth the wait and the money alone but then shinedown came on stage and it got even fuckin better

[Soronax]

Tell you all the truth i just saw this(and fucking heard this for the first time) live at the CARNIVAL of MADNESS I wasnt there for shinedown but i was absolutely BLOWN away by this song and EVERY BAND THERE! in order they played 10 years(my favorite), sevendust, puddle of mudd, chevelle(second fav) and best for last SHINEDOWN

[itsallgood239]

saw these dudes last night in Estero. pretty straight. lead singer talks too much kinda

[84RideTheLightning84]

Saw this live at SImpsonville. Shinedown, Chevelle, Puddle of Mudd, 10 Years, Sevendust. Totally BADASS concert. Carnival of Madness is so worth the ticket...

[itsallgood239]

@84RideTheLightning84 hellyeah it is dude. I honestly thought that sevendust goes up too early because they are one of the best bands there. but yeah it was fun as fuck

[Rasengan443]

This song is amazing, just saw them live like an hour ago at this point, this song is beast live.

[TheRandomvidstv]

just saw em last night they played this and it was insane live

[chapmaninyourhome]

People bitching they cant get the song without getting the album so you download it from places like Limewire. Support the band and get the album. Its people like you who fuck it up for the rest of us.

Shinedown = GOD'S!

[kellygurl5]

@chapmaninyourhome

bands get VERY little from album sales. they make their money on live shows and radio airplay. Most bands aren't money grubbers and care if you download instead of buy. they just want their music heard which is the important thing. Hence System of a Down titled their album "Steal this Album" because they don't care they just want their music heard.

[chapmaninyourhome]

@kellygurl5 So you support people downloading songs with out paying? And SOAD only named it that for a joke. Yes most bands like there music to be heard but am sure they are still pissed off that people are ripping them off.

[wolflord548]

shinedown forever 

[ryherdbuckmaster]

wow sevin people are duches they missed the like button

[Live4TNA]

can anyone find and similarites between the son of sam and this song aside from the name.?

[klone9643]

HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! I tried to download it on itunes but it is album only. That sucks. A lot.

[JasonQX]

@klone9643 just use limewire or download a torrent of the album

[iknowmyus3rnamesucks]

just really got into shinedown about a month ago and havent found a song i dont like

[93Lintu]

@iknowmyus3rnamesucks me too ;D Well, I got into them a few weeks ago ;D

[LukeStarChief]

@MangekyouKitten is shinedown roxs?

[wildbill1]

This song fuckin ROCKS!!

[coldazice26]

this shouldve replaced breaking inside on the album

[TheDarkness1500]

there are not tabs for this song :(

[flippienoga]

great song i love it

[RichandFrosty]

This is the best song on the album, by far

[MetalHead7250]

I actually didn't even know what Son of Sam meant until a short while ago. Gives the song a whole new meaning! This is a fuckin amazing song

[gaaraanime5]

@MetalHead7250 What does it mean?

[MetalHead7250]

@gaaraanime5 The Son of Sam murders were committed by a cult who believed when a certain dog barked it was the devil telling them to commit certain murders. I believe there were fourteen people in all killed.

[Breakemall9]

@MetalHead7250 Ever heard of a man named David Berkowitz ?

[samrocks1990]

my name is sam

[welshdude91]

Beast of a song :P

[Po3tictragedy90]

@welshdude91 hell yes!

[mmvrockerz]

Wish they would play this song more on XM/Sirius. Its an AWESOME song, all I hear is that "If you only knew" crap on the pop station.

[laffyta2]

@mmvrockerz i totally agree. all people (radioppl) play today is crap like although if u only knew isnt crap is that. i havent heard The Sound Of Madness in 6 months. nither have I heard devour. it sucks.

[AerisMemory]

@laffyta2 - I'm lucky in that the local rock stations where I live now seem to like Shinedown a lot, so they play a lot of the band's harder songs (Sound of Madness, Devour, and some of their older songs like Save Me and Heroes). Personally, I like their more "pop-ish" stuff as well...and I'm in luck there because I hear that on the other stations. Yay for Shinedown!

[Sixx0809]

Anyone else think this fits The Punisher?

[mclovinnnxx]

@Sixx0809 this song does. And definitely Sound of Madness.

[Live4TNA]

@Sixx0809 i agree with you know that u mention it.

[eduardosalomon1989]

@Sixx0809  y really think thay fitbetter whit wolwerine

[Thelovevswar]

@Sixx0809 look up the sound of maddness vid for it lol XP

[AceOverlord]

"Son of Sam" as in...David Berkowitz "Son of Sam"? Songs based on killer's lives...brutal

[SeriousSarus]

great song

5/5

[Matt0496]

ill try frostwire but is it virus free and why is it ten times better

[bargon2010]

not as many ppl have it so it works faster

[GobFan77]

@Matt0496 nah, I stick with MP3Rocket :D peace!! \m/

[Matt0496]

ever heard of limewire

[innahai]

naah frostwire looks like the old limewire and is 10 times better

[Hydro022]

frostwire sucks XD

[innahai]

well so does the new limewire

[RachGoesRawrr]

@innahai limewire gives virus's.

[innahai]

yeah, thats why I use frostwire and still I scan every file I download, and frostwire hasnt given me any viruses, yet but alltogether I've moved into torrents so I reli dont care any more

[NoxTrooper]

Torrents all the way

[midwaytrucker]

Only the Black version of the Sound of Madness album has this song, Energy and I own you

[8WolfNecklace8]

anyone know where i can download this song? i have yet to find a site :/

[snipe1177]

theres an easier way to get the song....buy the cd

[8WolfNecklace8]

i did buy the cd...the day it came out =| it wasnt on there though hense why im asking if theres a site

[LeaderGrim]

Again, only on the Deluxe edition.

[LeaderGrim]

There's this magical place- It's called iTunes!

[Alterna123]

mp3raid(dot)com and it's not a legal site to by the time you see this it will be spammed lol

[Codiisright]

Yeah the dude below you is an idiot if he thinks that it's just easier to buy the cd. If you wanna download the song, you can get it from iTunes for $0.99, or you can do what I do and just find a torrent and get it at a better quality and for free lol.

[8WolfNecklace8]

@Codiisright yeah but too bad i dont have itunes to download it from, and theres no other site i can find that has it

[Codiisright]

iTunes is literally the easiest thing to download from lol. Just Google it, or go to the site. It's free.

[PollyPocketWants2BMe]

try 4shared thats where I got the whole cd

[IWantAGreatName]

This is an awesome song. Actually, I have yet to find a song by Shinedown that isn't' awesome.

[MalarkyMan15]

makes me want to drive in a shelby mustang cobra and just have the pedal touch the floor and then try and then have a speed limit sign just try to stop me :)

[LeaderGrim]

Lol if you got that close to the curb I'm sure SOMETHING would stop you.

[lilcaitz]

i love this song (L)

[CharonDarkness]

Any relation to the serial killer? lol

[mynameisnyhm]

no, this song has to do with the Iraq war,

son of sam refers to Uncle Sam

[shakermaker74]

Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.

The only child of a holy man.

I stand alone for all to see,

'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.

(Goddamn) Son of sam.

[29Texan]

Now that's what you call a HYPE UP song!

[dexbower]

good song the beat is addicting

GOD DAM I DONT WANNA BE THE SON OF SAMMM

[Disturbed3650]

I'm pretty sure it's:

"God damn, I might be the son of Sam."

[XpsychkidX]

i love this song just as much as i love all the other ones and thats ALOT

[stifreak14]

i love driving to this song...you better hope you ain't in front of me when i am....God damn!!! Son of sam

[dabaffen321]

Hahaha, fucking true, well i'm only 16 so i can't really drive a car untill 2 years but really imagining breaking the speed alot driving on the highway would be great tho sucks that there are so many cars there :(

[PyroRocker2008]

where do you live where you have to be 18 to drive?

[dabaffen321]

sweden

[stifreak14]

haha, once you drive enough, you'll know where the cops hide, and at what times highways are empty...and that's when the fun begins

[Tcreavis]

God, that chorus never gets old.

Just pure fuckin awesomeness

[warknight89]

this is my favorite song i love it

[mynameisnyhm]

Its a shame shinedown isnt more popular, if they heard this song, as well as .45 and sound of madness, they would know what they were missing out on
