Shinedown - Diamond Eyes (Live in Charlotte NC) HD

[MadJokeTV]

The use a recorded track for the chorus, of course, but they sing along as well, and you can hear it.

Just one thing: Brent (singer) live is as good as in the studio, but here he's helped by recorded tracks because this song is very difficoult to sing, and the chorus (especially the last 3 choruses) leaves you out of breath... Seriously, try to sing 3 chorus LOUD!

[xperioso14]

shinedown feat three days grace!!!

[leow626569]

He isn't really lip syncing as such, as he is singing and you can hear him singing live but there is a vocal backing track to... help out. Great song though!

[Rodgersforprez12]

wow really good quality

[AICJacob]

I was there!!! :D

[szoba323]

what an awesome crowd...

[grecovince44]

ok there may be recorded parts in this. but im sure if u toured as much as they did ur voice would be gone. i still respect them goin out there every concert giving it there all to put on a good show. there one of the best live bands out there an there my favorite band so if u dont have a positive comment then keep it in ur mind.

[triedgex24]

I don't think it's possible to sing 2 different notes at the same time like he does at 4:56 so i think he might be faking the chorus lol but shinedown is still awesome and I don't think that they're "taking advantage of the US" or hurting anyone just because he lip syncs the chorus. At least the whole song isn't lip synced like crappy famous pop groups with singers that can't actually sing at all. He can sing really good and even though i don't agree with lip syncing i still respect Brent Smith.

[RipTheREV1981]

they sound so good live

[diddermandoo]

BOOM LAY BOOM LAY BOOM!........being sung backup by the guitarists sounds like 20 dudes hmmmmmmm

[popeluigi]

Shinedown is one of the only bands I know that sounds absolutely perfect live

[JeffHardyRocks3000]

Guys we fucking get it fucking lip syncs the chorus who the fuck cares! You guys are just acting like a bunch of bitches "oh my god he lips sync i am gonna act like a bitch and comment that he lips sync" its really annoying just watch the god damn video! no one likes a bitch.

[MessalonskeeTaylor]

I love Shinedown I would die to see them in concert even if I had to listen from outside the stadium <3333 I wana meet the lead singer most tho, even just a pass by :) <3333333333333333333

[trevLV]

God I hate what we have all become..So fucking cynical..Everybody just wants to voice their irrelevant opinions,about whether he his lypsyncing or he isnt..Coming from a guy who has toured for over 2 decades,sometimes bands use back up enhancement,and theyve been doing it for years..It doesnt take anything away from the sanctity of the song. Personally,Id rather here some "electronic help' on nights that a guy,or girl,just doesnt have full voice.

[ben19762]

Check out 4:56. Obvious lip syncing. I know touring is brutal to a singer. If you can't do it, don't tour. Or maybe don't tour so aggressively.

[VGKDE4MONLORD]

@ben19762 how bout u dont say shit like tht cause there are many bands out there like this one who dont lip sync

[ZackNicholas]

@ben19762 touring is brutal, but part of the problem is people write chorus' that completely top out their range on every song, so they cant sing them all live lol

[dmorton91]

im sorry, i love this band, but that is not natural in the chorus. in the other verses hes really singing, but in the chorus it sounds exactly the same as the recording.

[Bddraughn92]

if he's lip syncing then he's also one hell of an actor cuz you dont jus put that effort in something to fake it...

[NegaArson]

He is 100% lip syncing the chorus of this song and several others. Get over it.

[tigerboyoflsu15]

This dudes voice is amazing...i really dont think there is lip syncing...

[tigerboyoflsu15]

This dudes voice is amazing...i really dont think there is lip syncing...

[MrPhillba]

holy crap i tihnk i mightve been there when was it?

[TotalNonstopAction97]

@MrPhillba 7/24/10

[MrPhillba]

@TotalNonstopAction97 hmmmmm idk maybe well umm idk

[slipknotftw1000]

fuk yea i love this shinedown song!!! fuk they rock this live!!

[slipknotftw1000]

fuk yea i love this shinedown song!!!

[10000diamondeyes]

4:53 you can tell this fat ass is lip syncing

[NickW0608]

@10000diamondeyes if hes lip syncing or not, they still wrote an awsome song!

[fishinetsu40]

@10000diamondeyes he isn't lip syncing, fat ass faggot

[AFSFluke92]

@10000diamondeyes watch his acoustic version of save me..

[10000diamondeyes]

@AFSFluke92 yeah thats pretty nice video. but hes still lip syncing in this video. i can tell.

[jdlatta2]

@10000diamondeyes

lol lip syncing....? pay attention real close in the chorus... his voice straining in the end

[jitterbug3100]

yeah...well brent has THE BEST voice in rocknroll . and if you ever saw him live you would know he aint fuckin around with lip syncs

[Mw2QuiiKScOp3z]

ok to be honest here.... i love this song and it somewhat sounds like hes lip singing only because it sounds so much like the recorded version but idk .. hard to tell

[DrInsanity987]

wow the crowd sucked balls

[jdlatta2]

if anybody thinks that this was lip synced... you're crazy... you've obviously never heard this band live.... lol, one of the best live bands today

[Eastantine]

This is amazing. Like, his voice, is amazing.

[maxey5150]

@XxZorakxX I love Shinedown. But I've seen the best live bands in the world not nail a chorus to this aspect. It's not necessarily a bad thing. They do what they can't provide top notch entertainment. After all, thats what musicians are, entertainers.

[maxey5150]

Great, great song. The chorus is definitely recorded prior to this performance. No band, no matter how great they are live, can hit a chorus so vocally straining and loud note for note like that. I would gamble my whole life savings on this.

[23BleedingMascara]

God your immature, I guess blocking me was the best thing you ever did. haha

[23BleedingMascara]

Maybe you should admit that your wrong too, trying to act like your so fucken smart. I replied to a 3 month old comment because I was bored and wanted a reply from you considering you were pretending that you knew for sure they were lip syncing when you clearly dont.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Why would I admit to being wrong too when you agreed with me that they "probably are lip syncing?" Obviously nobody will no for sure unless Shinedown goes out and tells everyone, but in my opinion, my evidence is pretty fault proof, as is the countless other videos where the verses sound one way and the choruses sound completely different.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 Bitchtits.

[23BleedingMascara]

By the way, using a couple of swear words doesnt mean that im trying to act tough, it's just how i comment, you stupid dick.

[23BleedingMascara]

Listen to the song again.

[uberhalo3]

I think that for maybe one night he lip synced cause his voice was off or something, cause every other video he seems legitimate.

[CharCharKing13]

have you guys ever thought that maybe he's an INSANE SINGER?! not someone who lip syncs? jeez.

[thomasterrier20]

@CharCharKing13 Right on dude, he's just one kickass singer

[cpike2009]

what did you record with?

[FultonPub]

@cpike2009 Sony DSC Cybershot W290

[renues]

@FultonPub Good Quality. Thanks.

[jitterbug3100]

@cpike2009

[mikeockerts17]

He is singing along with a backup track on the chorus, and by himself in the verse, it is plain as day.... The track has the boom lay boom part on it and the soft ohh ohh parts too, not to mention the piano....

[CPS0713]

...thanks for sharing! Great night - hottest night of the summer but soooo worth it!

[GrayShreds]

@MrYup321 where duz he sing two words at once??

[I8acake]

Get my shit together? This from some little twat who can't even spell the word sanitarium. "...some line from a famous poem" ??? Was that Dickenson or Frost? I can't quite remember whose deep poetic forethought it was to bring together a bunch of stretched nut-sack action heroes for such an inspirational POS. hahaha! I bet you have "idiot" stamped on the inside of your panties? Keep yelling boom lay all day long if you want. I could give a shit clown. By the way your lame ma and pa raised a cunt

[I8acake]

WTF is Boom Lay Boom???? Is he saying Voulez vous? French for "Do you want to..." cause I don't know what the hell "boom lay boom" means and why all you f'tards in the audience are chanting it like a g'damn cult.

[Sanitaruim444]

@I8acake Boom Lay is some line from a famous poem that Expandables was inspired by, Get your shit together before you talk shit.

[buldi333]

just awesome....

[Cochise392]

fuck me its a leprechaun

[Dakatana700]

@RockNRoll21000 that's not lip-synced, the guitarist and bassist were singing there too , that's when I'm on the front lime came in. Brent was finishing eyes and he came in with I'm, no lip-sync...

[RCummings63]

Shinedown is my favorite band today and he does not lip-synced I met these guys 3 times in Lancaster PA. at the Chameleon Club and they just flat out rock .

[RCummings63]

Shinedown is my favorite band today and he does not lip-synced I met these guys 3 times in Lancaster PA. at the Chameleon Club and they just flat out rock .

[RockNRoll21000]

Listen to 4:51. He sings "And now I see the world through diamond eyes," and begins to sing "I'm on the front line" again before the word "eyes" is finished. As he obviously can't sing two words at once, this is just a recording from the studio version. I love Shinedown and they're my favorite band, but there's just no doubt that this is lip-synced.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 It sounds like that because of the other members singing with him, if Shinedown is your favorite band then how come you didnt figure that out? idiot.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Clearly you are not listening to this video, or you don't have any knowledge of this song. Listen to the studio version of this song. The part I described is the chorus, which Brent clearly sings all the way through. The bassist is simply singing background melodies. You hear this video, and it is clearly Brent's voice singing both "eyes" and "I'm" at the same time, as it is in the studio. If you're going to insult me at least have some knowledge of the song first.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 First of all, who the fuck are you? Learn how to read. It says "Live in Charlotte NC" not "Live in the studio" and Secondly, I have some knowledge of the song, I heard it live before too. Shinedown is an awesome band and they perform amazingly, so don't sit there and say that your a fan of them when your doubting that they play live. Fuck off already.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara why does it matter who I am? And I'm aware that this is a live video, and I'm saying that it's lip synced because he sings two words at the same time, which is how it is on the studio version, not to mention that it's impossible to say two words at the same time. I have seen them live and yes, they do perform amazingly, and when I saw them he clearly didn't lip sync. However, on this tour, with so many concerts in a row, he has no choice but to save his voice a little.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 Assume what you want, I will do the same. Just stop pretending that you created this video, I'm saying that it doesn't sound like he's lip syncing, you can say whatever the fuck you want to.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Well thank you for giving me permission to have an opinion. I'm honored that that came from such a high class person as yourself. And I never once pretended that I made this video, I don't know why you would say that.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 " I made my original post to clear up the arguments going on over whether or not he was lip syncing, because as much as you don't want to believe it, he is" <- There you fucken go. Practically acting like you did a sound check for Shinedown, so quit commenting, your pathetic.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara ummm, that proves what, exactly? I WAS clearing up arguments, giving them what I believed to be proof to one side. Also, do you know what a sound check is? It's when a band plays a song or two at a venue before the crowd arrives to make any adjustments they have to with their equipment, which is not at all related to what I said. But still, I'm the pathetic one.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 Did you just google sound check you pathetic piece of shit? I Know what it means, Im just saying that your pretending you created this video and are completely positive that he was lip syncing when you know fuck all.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara No, I didn't just google it. My username is RockNRoll21000, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to rock. And regardless, I still proved that you used sound check completely wrong, which makes you the pathetic one, trying to act all tough just because you use a couple of swear words. On top of that, I still don't pretend to have made this video, I simply commented on it a long time ago. And yes, I do believe he lip synced, for reasons I've already explained.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 Dude, fuck off already. Having a name like RockNRoll doesn't prove that you know what your talking about when it comes to rock, it proves that your a loser. You didn't act like your comment was an opinion, you acted like you knew for sure that he wasn't singing live and if you commented on this long ago then what the fuck are you doing back on this page? let it go already.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Okay, well your name is bleedingmascara. What does that prove about you? And of course I didn't act like my comment was an opinion, because like I said, I thought I had found proof. And the only reason I'm back on this page is because you had to come along and reply to and insult me, which by the way, you did without seeming like it was an opinion.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 I thought you know everything about rock? you fucken loser. Bleeding Mascara is a song dumbass, I didn't say that having that for a username says something about me, but the more you reply, the more you look stupid so just let it go.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Well if your username doesn't say anything about you, then mine says nothing about me. And just because I don't know one song name doesn't mean I don't know about rock. And now that I know what it is, it's screamo, and I don't listen to that anyway, in fact I don't even consider it rock. You're the stupid one for blindly insulting me on the internet for retarded things like not knowing the name of a song from a genre I don't like and having a different opinion than you.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 Your the idiot for pointing out that since your name is RockNRoll, you know what your talking about when it comes to rock then saying that it says nothing about you. You don't have to consider Bleeding Mascara a rock song,no one gives a fuck what you think anyways. As much as you dont want to believe it,it is.haha. Im only insulting you because I find your cheap little comebacks hilarious. Atreyu is considered a rock band whether it's screamo,or punk rock, so fuck you.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Okay let me clarify that. It means nothing about me that I didn't intend it to mean, such as me "being a loser." And clearly you care enough about what I think to still be commenting here. I mean, after all, you replied to me because you thought what I said originally was wrong, so right there you cared what I thought. And if my comeback is hilarious, your comeback is "so fuck you." Real good one there. As for bleeding mascara, if you want to call it rock, go ahead. I just

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara said that I don't like screamo, and that I don't consider it rock because I consider rock to contain singing, not screaming. Most people consider screamo "metal." the word "rock" is not anywhere in the word "metal" so they are different.

[23BleedingMascara]

@RockNRoll21000 LMAO your fucken stupid. Its rock, regardless if they are screaming a little. But you never heard the song,obviously. And i pointed out that im leaving you comments because your comebacks are funny not because you assumed that I care what you think.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara Though you've admitted to being wrong, I still don't understand why you would reply to a 3 month old comment just to hear my comebacks. You clearly just didn't agree with me. As to the song, I youtubed it and heard enough to know that it is screamo. I know that some people consider that rock but I'm just saying I don't. Either way, it seems like you've finally come to your senses.

[RockNRoll21000]

@23BleedingMascara I made my original post to clear up the arguments going on over whether or not he was lip syncing, because as much as you don't want to believe it, he is. No, it's not just me who thinks so, just keep reading these comments. So if you just don't want to believe it, don't take it up with me, because I'm hardly the only one saying that he is.

[SmokeOnTheWater01]

The chorus clearly isn't lipsynced.

[xxdeano87xx]

Before even looking at the comments i was thinking it (atleast the chorus) is lip synced, the chorus sounds 100% identical to the studio which pure BULL

On another note what a badass song this is and a good video

[Xfacta12482]

If you know anything about this band..or especially Brent Smith, you would know he'd NEVER sync.

[mymomyourdad]

and guys its not lip synced. lol idk if people are trying to act smaart or just trying to start arguments by saying that

[mymomyourdad]

i was there. but i had lawn seats so i was way behind the guy with the camera. hahha when puddle of mudd came out their singer kept talking how his balls were sweating lol

[JDstolemyvan]

Brent is a fuckin' awesome frontman.

[drummerknot131]

this was not lip synced you can tell he even messes up some times in the chorus but shine down is a great band and saying he is lip singing is disrespectful to them only stupid teen pop artist lip sing.

[chuckthenugget]

@drummerknot131 trust me i didnt mean to disrespect them. shinedown is my all time favorite band, im just basing it on the fact that he doesnt sing any other sing in the same register as he does in this performance. sorry if it seemed like i was being offensive to them. i love these guys

[drummerknot131]

@chuckthenugget its alright its just i hope these guys get as popular as they can because i want great rock bands like these push all those stupid rap hip hop artist like johnas brothers and Justin fag off the charts. but im glad that you love these guys the more fans the better.

[chuckthenugget]

@drummerknot131 ppl arent rocking out hard enough to this. and i totally agree with you, my friend and i came up with a list much like you seeo n youtube lately, that says things like you say justin biever, i say skillet, stuff like that, except its much longer and awesome

[DanielKremsner]

@drummerknot131 Brant has his voice back

[guitarplaya161]

@drummerknot131 your wrong, and stupid, this is obviously lip synced

[gbaby97]

@drummerknot131 It is still lip synced. The volume of the chorus is not the same as the verses; case and point, the transition from 2:31 - 2:35. There's an echo in the verse and then all of a sudden it gets quieter on the chorus. Who cares if it's disrespectful to call them out on it, I would think that as a fan in that audience who paid good money to go see them I would feel disrespected if the band didn't take their performance as seriously as I had paid them to.

[kgnrbpjn]

@gbaby97 I think you said it perfectly...they're taking advantage of US and hurting US while they still get their fat paychecks

[bringtherain5]

@gbaby97 its hard to sing a song that fast live it would sound like shit if they didnt sync it. theres is backround but hes still singing all he physically can.

[DavidOrtiz36]

@drummerknot131 stupid teen pop artists and Ozzy Ozbourne

[UnderlinedInc]

@drummerknot131 Hate to break it to you man, but some of his vocals ARE on a P.E.T. track *along with some unplayable elements in the show like keyboards, choirs, some guitar drops & its all matched to click track with the tempos of all the songs in the set (sent to the drummer).

But there is nothing "disrespectful" about calling this band out on what they are doing, because there is nothing wrong with what the band is doing in the first place.

They are entertainers, putting on a show...simple.

[stackamania43]

@UnderlinedInc doesnt pointing out the obvious = douche bag..

[H7videos]

@stackamania43 Learn how to compile a sentence before you try insulting me.

[stackamania43]

@H7videos dude.. its the fucking internet. it doesnt matter if its a sentence or not.

[Nascar24ms]

definitely lip synced.

[chuckthenugget]

i love shinedown, but i feel that this was lip synced :S

[95Neos]

@chuckthenugget Trust me, it's not lip synced, it shows when Brent is making a mistake

[bearhuggify1]

@95Neos The chorus is 100% lip synced from Brent. From "I'm on the front line" to "Now I see the world through diamond eyes" is all lip synced.

[mradddams]

i was there! missed ten years though. but shinedown was GREAT!

[Hahninator]

I see myself jumping in the pit on the left! sweet show!

[shinedownfan87]

I was there! It was an amazing show!

[wez2468]

fuck me,awesome
