DAUGHTRY COVERING SIMPLE MAN LIVE

[SteliosNatha]

Daughtry is million times better than Brent ! dont be so stupid guys! this is a bad video analisys!

[lDeathxFromxAbovel]

@Xdog40

*WAS the guitarist. Haha

[HooNuu]

nothing against daughtry..but brent sings this song way better..its just the way brent sings it its just more relaxing,soothing and soulful..

[TheCademaker]

NO ONE can sing this like Brent..... No matter who wrote the song...

[prodigypenn]

@TheCademaker chris cornell does a good job IMO in fact before just a few mins agpo i didnt know shinedown covered this song

[julia759]

do you ever think that they might be covering lynyrd skynyrd and not shinedown because they both sung that song

[LivestPhenom]

trying to be like shinedown? lol

[alwayssme]

another great cover by chris....... the best was shinedown, course the original by skynyrd

[BigDgunn]

@alwayssme shinedown had best vocals but cant beat the rock sound from skynyrd. both are epic

[69CRUZR]

or better I meant :)

[superghostfacers]

nice

[sweetcheeba1]

someone throw a bottle of piss at chris daughtry

[mattsayle202]

You can't mess with an original but Shinedown did an amazing fucking job trying.

[Stephanie16577]

chris daughtry is a good singer but if you ever hear shinedown sing it no one will ever be able to do it the same.

[alwayssme]

@Stephanie16577 agree shinedown the best with covering skynyrds oringinal

[guitarace19]

Great Song but after playing for 46+ years and saying this whoever Shinedown is doing the song good or justice,well they saound like a standard bar band. Daughtry does this song no justice either but him doing his own material is unbelievable and Shinedown can't even hang with him or other bar bands i have seen in my area. Sorry,they are a sub-standard copy band. Anyone who can't play simple man that has been playing for even a year or less and make it sound good needs a new hobby or job.

[whdad1]

@guitarace19 all I can say is if you think Shinedown does a horrible cover of Simple Man, then 46+ years of playing or not you are not much of a musician.

[whdad1]

@guitarace19 all I can say is if you think Shinedown does a horrible cover of Simple Man, then you must not be listening to the same band every one else has? However, I will agree they have not done much of anything else any good but they did a hell of a good cover of Simple Man.

[69CRUZR]

@guitarace19 playing it and making it sound good and singing it and putting an entire nation in abosulte fucking AWE are two completetly different things pal... because you have been playing for 46 years and can duplicate the riff to this song doesnt mean your as good or as better as shinedown...it means your a washed up wanna be shinedown superstar who couldnt hold a candle (or swaying lighter) to them if you wanted. Fucking hater!

[ckirasic]

Horrible!!

[martinX1idol66]

actually its not simple man by shinedown, its simple man by lynard skynard covered by shinedown. or chris daughtry singing simple man by lynard skynard in the style of shinedown. your choice.

[Xdog40]

@martinX1idol66 Learn to read bro. No one said it was by Shinedown. They said he did it with Jason FROM Shinedown. He is the guitarist. Everyone knows it's BY Skynyrd, and some of us even know how to SPELL Skynyrd. This was a free lesson in popular rock music, your welcome!

[alskzmqp]

i was listening to a daughty song and thought to my self "i bet he would do great shinedown covers" and what do ya know. i was right

[matzchase]

Description: Covering Simple Man from shinedown at Freebird..........what?

[SuperBillibob]

@rockSldBrute i agree bro

[savagenomore]

this guy is from my area and he sucks, I loved the look on his face when he got booted from idol...

[Mywakkyworld]

boo

[ladycrazy93]

if you look the lead singer of shinedown is playing the gutar

[itsmekee]

@ladycrazy93 The guitarist here is JASIN TODD, former guitarist of SHINEDOWN. .

JASIN is now the guitarist for FUEL along with BRAD STEWART on Bass-former Bassist of SHINEDOWN.

Back in 06, FUEL was looking for a new singer after BRETT SCALLIONS had quit. After hearing Chris sing "Hemorrhage" on AI, FUEL asked him to join up but he declined the offer & formed DAUGHTRY.

BRETT SCALLIONS is back again as the lead singer for FUEL.

Chris is a fan of both SHINEDOWN & FUEL.

...the circle of life...=]

[SuperBillibob]

@ladycrazy93 haha holy shit it is brent. thumbs up lol i didnt notice entill i read this

[SuperBillibob]

@ladycrazy93 wow holy shit it is brent smith

[SuperBillibob]

@ladycrazy93 no its the guitarist but still you have a good eye lol

[Ereek1125]

im guessing he heard the shinedown cover

[THECROW572]

it's a decent cover. the video camera doesn't have a good mic setup. can't help that. dude isn't tryna be like brent lol. regardless of whether brent or chris is singing it,they are both doing a cover ;)

[beaterson20]

obviously trying to be Brent Smith from Shinedown. FAIL

[coreyoates]

u guys that say this sucks are idiots. The quality of this video is horrendous. If you seen it live you'd see that chris is one of the most talented singers in rock right now.

[SuperBillibob]

@coreyoates brent is still way better at this song.

[txlastrebel]

this really sucks

[Lemieux28]

I've been a fan of chris since his idol days. And since his audition I have said he sounds like the singer from Shinedown. I have to say shinedown's version is better, but if chris actually recorded this in a studio he might come close.

[wenser13]

Brent demolishes this guy. Hands down. Brent is amazing. Daughtry ehhh not so much. lol

[TorzyG]

shinedowns version is better

[ibanezman333]

there aren't supposed to be drums this is an acoustic song

[seetherfreak218]

not brent :(

[AndreErtz19]

He's got no where near the voice of Brent Smith. Good cover but still doesn't quite cover it in comparison

[smithenstein]

Good cover, needs heavier drums

[bigSQUASH69]

The song is great. The little tom beat...no me gusta mucho

[jorandejong]

Omg.

Daughtry is good, but i like the version of Shinedown mutch better!

[CAPRISUN441]

ronnie van zant

[Umenyiora922]

So he's covering the cover...

I still like Brent's version a lot better... Daughtry doesn't seem to do it with as much power.

[lk1407]

daughtry is #1 for me, but I love that song and gotta say skynyrd > brent > daughtry

[clr122]

hes good, but hes NOTHING compared to brent.

[XXXstuppiXXX]

thet is so so true

[drummking15]

very nice... but there was NO NEED for drums... im a drummer and i can "simply" say there was NO NEED for the drums...

[dergru]

chris could sound like brent easily

[maban1]

i think duaghtry is a great singer, but the audio is so messed up on this that it makes him sound like sound.

the speaker just cant take the range of his voice, if you listen to the drums they use in the song it gives you a idea what kind of quality the audio equipment they are using is. just about everything in the song is distorted.

[BluesMoves]

Ugh .... what the hell was that !!!!

People actually paid money to see that LOL

[zeroman2006]

DAMN you all are lame Daughtrys' version is ok Shinedowns even better And skynards twenty times better than both of the others original is always best

[seetherlee]

He just pisses me off.

[car1wrestler1hd]

i agree

[hedlundman]

He seem so fucking arrogant.

[runezonerocks]

be a simple kind of man rip wes

[sickgirl6190]

oh my goodness. what are you kids in second grade? jesus, havent you ever wanted to cover somebody elses song? well i can gurantee that you would not sound anywhere near as good as the orginial. so stfu. srsly.

[motohamer21]

first off, daughtry's not a follower, he proved that on american idol. secondly, who said anything about him being better then brent, he wasnt trying to be, he was just singing the song at freebird with his buddy jason todd. hes not competing, if anything hes paying respect to brent. So if u cant watch this video and enjoy it then go watch something else and quit putting down a great singer.

[chris4tw]

shinedown kick his ass :X

[kiidso0freshh]

dam people calm down,

you cant compare a shitty video to a studio shinedown.

chris sound's good. but not as great like brent did.

but den again, shitty video, sucky record, the camera couldnt take chris's gravel, and to many people screaming,

=/

[dfieldsroxxs]

yea i m was dissapointed i was thinkin it would be sick as hell...but it turned out weak as hell?

[roadster81TS]

SHITS FUCKIN WEAK!!

[patchcords]

OK....

[Sk8erbakerskater]

nowhere near shinedown rofl, Daughtry will never be as good as them rofl :)

[15132344]

shinedowns is better but i love daughtry

[CrazyWyteGuy]

Is Jasin Todd on guitar?

[benwhyme]

yes

[augfive]

ehhh hes like any singer in any town on any saturday night playing... good for him though... but actually ,, hes over-rated.. average vocals when singing live

[bubbajohn17]

ok im sure he is a great front man and everything but this is not his song he is no where near brent smith and hes even farther than that from ronnie van zant so maybe he should stick with songs that already suck and not mess up one of the gratest songs of all time

[keller3]

Listen to Shinedown cover this song. That's how it should be done. This isn't bad though. It's a great fucking song.

[paintedtrue]

@keller3 the shinedown cover is unbeatable

[kevinvestfossen]

a good singer but have NOTHING on brent smith as a vocalist... just prove how good brent are

[largenj]

Cover of "Shinedown's Version" if you ask me. Daughtry is a follower anyways, not a Leader!!!

No Brent Smith!

No Ronnie Van Zant!

[Duanerocks]

Especially no ronnie van zant. Brent smith has more power in his voice but i think ronnie voice is better suited to sing it.

[RheaRiot]

Yea I agree he is covering the shinedown version.

There are slightly different lyrics in the Skynyrd lyrics.

& he sure is a follower ;]

[basti9791]

Man Daughtry, i expect a little better performance from you on this one. Ur trying to sound like the backdoor boys in this video. I'm a frontman myself and cover this song a lot and hit it with a harder tune. Cmon man dont be a pussy, sing it a little harder.

[ChinguS321]

wow lol your gonna try and tell chris daughtry how to sing...get a life.

[markssite]

sorry everyone shinedown was good but Skynyrd did the best job at this song.

[ashlover666]

shinedown does the best cover of this..hands down

[jahjah73]

miles kennedy owns the vocal world!!

[Epolx]

first off this is a skynyrd song, not a shinedown song, just because shinedown does it better doesnt mean the creddit of the song is taken away from the original creator.

[Chicken8or]

Although I believe the Chris Daughtry is a great vocalist and musician, I have to say that every time he tries a Shinedown/Brent Smith song he shows just how much better Brent Smith is. When he tried "I Dare You" on American Idol his voice failed after about half way through the first chorus. He just doesn't have it in him (I doubt anybody does). He should stick to his songs because he sounds amazing there.

[Desicat674]

maybe doing Styx covers lol I'm a HUGE Brent smith fan and i was disappointed with this. though he did really good on Renegade cover on American Idol.

[doubledrive78]

brent smith pretty much owns the vocal world.

[nyaFlicker]

ok i love this guy..and his voice is great but no.. just just no

[girlinterupted1983]

I agree nowhere close to Shinedown..Sorry guys.

[lpgman1075]

Shinedown rocks this song

[ultimateuchiha1]

i agree, shine down has by far the best re-make and sings it quite well.

[djteleboy]

this is week shinedown singer blows this american idol away...

[ZanxKrogian]

shinedowns sings this song best

[roysteinar]

is this guy related to Jimmy Daughtry? former singer of The Allen Collins Band?

RIP Jimmy

[aLiLockhart0]

fail.

[Airguitarfooker]

Sounds like shit

[DCC1422]

0:34 = fail

[ReversePowerChord]

0:30 his voice cracks lol just that whole 10 seconds was a fail.

[durkman1]

Go Back To Clown School!

[colbymercury]

Daughtry is a graet cover singer,because his album is trash.

[sup7300]

its ok, shinedowns was better.
