[DavidFrom209]

Eric (guy on the right) kinda looks like Beetlejuice

XD

[cmusclewhite]

the "guy on the right" is eric bass shinedowns bassist

[KristovGaedkavich]

Dude on the right looks like a boss lol and those vocal chords were amazing.

[crismondragon]

3:08 - 3:10 I was waiting for that chill. @-@

[AlwaysYoungForever]

Insane pick guards!

[BeardedMIchael]

They sing and play together awesome.Especially, solo - great)

[keri031]

Do you see the dislike bar? Didn't think so!

[Stealthgamer1000]

The guy on the right side looks like a fuckin anime boy! xD

[Azunaii]

Is this part of the VIP ticket prior to the show? Cause I have one for an upcoming show, really curious what to expect! And of course very excited :D

[Ihateopp]

Fucking amazing. Just blew my mind

[DirtyWhiteBoard]

Sweet ass! I was at this show. Rock on SD!

[opal645]

they sound great!

[brownbomer32]

not knocking the talent of course...just not much lyrical talent...



[brownbomer32]

lyrics???you gotta be kidding me, they write love songs...dont give credit where it isnt needed, nor deserved..

[MemphisChk]

@brownbomer32 their lyrics are fabulous!

[scissorchief490]

Can anybody see the strum pattern they use?  I can't really make it out

[Kadaj557]

Wow he used to be chunky huh?

[XXlilredlovesyaXX]

I think they just sings as awesome as ever I love them and I want more songs to come out I havent heard any updates on them did they break up?

[lalder959595]

@XXlilredlovesyaXX They did not break up. They just realeased a new single, "Bully", last week and have a new album, "Amaryllis", that comes out March 27th.

[is2daytuesday]

Christmas night 2011. Someone answered a Q on Yahoo about the song that they related to. This girl (don't know her).. She answered If you only Knew because it was 4:03 and she can not sleep... But she got some thumbs down for this. She posted her own Q asking WHY and who can say why there are mean-spirited folks out there. She loves this song so I posted this version for her. If you only knew how so many relate to this tune and the peace it brings! Merry Christmas everybody. Tuesday

[zombievamp6969]

Shineedown says it like it is!! Awesome!!

[Luke21stcentury]

does anyone know the name and model of those guitars???

[lalder959595]

@Luke21stcentury I've been wondering that too, cuz I love Zach's guitar

[vbrown8522]

@lalder959595 the are gibsons humming bird and the other is ej somethings tan one that is

[gzu31]

is it just me or is it that he has lost a little bit of the tone of his voice?

[PhilTheEar]

@gzu31 Unfortunately, yes. If you look at newer videos you will notice his voice has become a bit darker and cant pitch as high as he used to. But none the less it has given him some sick deep vocals and i would say his voice is in the best shape ever! :)

[gzu31]

@PhilTheEar yeah hes kinda deeper =)

[dee1313100]

AWESOMENESS!!!! NUFF SAID!!!!

[axv56]

When a band can sound like this live without a microphone and and pretty much just like the CD version you know it's an awesome band! LOVE SHINEDOWN!!!!

[undercoverbat]

i love this band, i love eric, bret, zach and barry! all are insperations not just musicly but on life.

these guys are just awsome love there music :)

[MrENVYtheDEAD]

This band will never be as good as it was with Jasin and Brad.

[scottiesguitar]

@MrENVYtheDEAD - you're absolutley right- bring back Jasin and Brad!

[docholiday13]

@MrENVYtheDEAD It is hard to see them now without those 2. I feel the band has gained more scope with the talents that these guys have with backing vocals etc. At the same time, it just isn't the same not seeing Jasin sitting next to him strumming away.

This is still an outstanding performance. There just isn't many bands out there that can do this. Seriously.

[RESTxINxPIECEZ]

the fact that he doesnt hit the high notes makes me wonder if his vocal range isnt the same as it is in the studio? or maybe he likes this version better for acoustic

[Pure3ify]

@LowerDevil Have you ever been to an acoustic showing? They are not going to sound exacly like the record because vocals are enhanced. Do you have any idea how hard it is change the song vocals for an acoustic showing to have it still sound good? This is amazing vocals by Brent.

[Addicted2gtrs]

good vocal harmony!

[kalaprissy]

pure fucking awesomeness! best thing that ever happened in music ;)

[LowerDevil]

he was a perfect singer, but now he is fat, and in this video he is singing terrible @_@ SO sad :( I don't recognize Shinedown :(

[BellabeingBella]

SO TERRIBLE sometimes! Thera such an inconsistency in his voice...

[BellabeingBella]

E is so terrible

[Zoomem6mmi]

Man he gained weight...

[rollinaces91]

@Zoomem6mmi u gained weight



[Zoomem6mmi]

@rollinaces91

ermm... no.

he gained weight.

[rollinaces91]

@Zoomem6mmi nope u did

[Zoomem6mmi]

@rollinaces91

Ive been a huge shinedown fan for the last 5 years and imo Brent is the best vocal ever to sing on this planet.

So umm.. grow up and face the fact he has gained some weight ( thats like saying he's wearing an uglier shirt ) Im not saying that omg he lost weight that sux, he just gained weight. But if your too much of a kid then go play hopscotch or sumtn.

Hope u die, fag.

[rollinaces91]

@Zoomem6mmi wow ur callin me a kid when ur the one gettin all pissy? damm u need to learn a sense of humor and not take shit u read so seriously cause im jus bustin. but if u wana whine like a lil bitch then thats fine with me, have a nice day thundercunt....btw shinedown FTW

[webcamfan2569]

@Zoomem6mmi Pleas get rid of the "Die you fag" part! Thats a bit mean!

[frankthetank520]

i think i have seen this video about 200 times in the last year and im still not tired of it

[zachrhino18]

the guy on the right looks like billy the exterminater :P

[foxcore074]

his voice is more like fergie and jesus

[izzarshaa]

i jus cant get bored of hearing this song all day..

[apocalypseguitarist]

2 - 409.. that's not even 1%.. win.

[LegendsofGH]

What an awesome guy, also one of my all time favorites

[thetm102]

3:10 to 3:32 thats the sound of a guitar having an orgasm!! just so you know!

[hunny2224]

awesome!

[thegamefreakization]

Love this acoustic version!

[arorathewhitewolf]

you know what for those two people who said they didnt like this, why dont you just shove off. shinedown as a band together works very hard to make the music they do today. who the hell gives you the right to say "they suck" or "you shouldnt have put this up" last time i checked we are all intiteld to our own opinoins and belifes. what if someone came by and told you horrible things about ur talent? you wouldnt like now would you. i love shinedown and they should keep doing what their doing. =)

[97mcginnis]

I was at this concert. I could not believe how amazing they sound live.

[thallford2]

I love Zach & Eric backig Brent up on vocals. I think they are amazing playing and singing.

[PacificWays]

@thallford2 to bad they look like such douchers

[kylietzzz]

Smh. I'm quite unimpressed. :( But I love them, I think I'll only listen to recordings. Live makes me sad.

[Mywakkyworld]

my sis did not know the story behind the song if you only knew now she knows <3 u shinedown you saved my life

[jo1995able]

Zach is my hero!

[ribbs06]

@1932johnnycash I was thinking the same damn thing.... Brent need to be the only on vocally

[ribbs06]

damn hes gettin fat

[bern1417]

@ribbs06 that's what happens when you're done doing oxy's...You start to eat!!!!

[LivestPhenom]

@bern1417 amen to that

[keokisgod]

too bad vocalist cant reach notes on real performances...

[goradiorules]

@keokisgod he can reach the notes, hes singing it in the lower octave because its acoustic, look up a live electric version



[drjmauros]

@goradiorules No. He is not a good, really.

[1932johnnycash]

i just want to punch the dude on the right in the face. he looks so stupid with that hair. I remember when you could take this band serious.

[metaknight0706]

Holy crap... I would've LOVED to be there!!!! AHHHHH!!! I'm a HUGE Shinedown fanatic as you can tell...

[casper1004]

This is just... beautiful, no one can write lyrics like Brent, and Zack and Eric are just incredible on guitars

[TxIntenseRadio]

I love their acoustic stuff... I got to see 3 shows on their acoustic tour.

[chrismh97]

the two people that disliked this are friggin nutz!

[MrYeehaw79]

All who consider themselves musicians and/or artists would do well to study this group in thier entirety. This is where the bar is set and I dare anyone to raise it just as they did years ago and have continued since.

[guitarist22059]

@MrYeehaw79 Dont wanna be that guy cause i actually really like Shinedown a lot but if you want a band who has raised the bar Korn has Shinedown in musicianship wether you like their music or not the meaning and talent is not easily passed over but i agree with you 100% lol

[jusblaze2473651]

@MrYeehaw79 ...I agree it makes NO since o me how the so called "critics" tear this band apart. Excellent song writing and GREAT in person......

[brownbomer32]

@MrYeehaw79 this is an opinion, not a fact...if you are into disguising sappy stories behind heavy music then the bar is at shinedown, but clearly fair to midland has set the bar for all bands to try and meet...much better musicians, and a better vocalist...again not to take away from shinedowns success, they are marketing geniouses...

[pixelles10]

awesome ! and I wish I had 1 of those 2 kick-ass guitars :D

[kmaybe123]

Thank you SO much for this post ... I think this may be one of their best acoustic performances I've seen on YouTube ... that guitarist needs to go back to the right hand of God where he must have started from so everyone else who plays guitar can keep 'thinking' they know how ... lol

[bigdaddypimpc]

i like shinedown they're my favorite current band i just wish that they weren't so strait forward with thier lyrics and give the songs more of a metaphoric meaning to it

[MrTuftyman]

@rals75 thats their guitarist. Whats up with you, douchebag

[UnderTheCross7]

@MrTuftyman Actually bro that's their bassist.

[rals75]

Whats up with the douchbag on the far right!

[childsfan999]

@rals75 aww leave eric alone :(

[metaknight0706]

@rals75 That would be there AMAZING bassist! Jerkoff

[sunrisetofu]

cool

[Trestin67]

is it me or he really resembles meatloaf? o_o

[gtownbear33]

@Trestin67 i agree with this.

[xguitarsongx]

They already have a future, they're already famous.

[626quagmire]

You're all kinda ...funky looking....BUT...work out your own stuff...I think ya'll have a future in this biz:)

[bayernsteve]

@626quagmire

You`re not really into the whole rock-music, aren`t you?

Just look at the US or Canadian Charts. They were on #1 of the rock charts with diamond eyes.

Furthermore these guys are well known for years right now.

[GuitarGuy352]

@626quagmire You do realize this guys have been around for a while. They are extremely famous. One of the best bands that exists. Your comment makes me believe your fucking mentally retarded.

[guitarguy047]

@rockstar30able did u listen to what he was saying? He was speaking about how the news of his son saved his life and all you are doing is yelling for him to play the song????

[CHEWguitarAlcohol]

..... I dont know what pot your smoking but it was not that sick of a solo lol

[Georgebates91]

@CHEWguitarAlcohol Agreed.

[rockstar30able]

JUST PLAY FUCKIN SONG ALREADY,,GEEZE

[LJMProject]

I was pretty shocked when I saw them live to realize Brent the Lead singer actually does Background Vocals for most of the Chorus instead of what you hear in the recording,kind of like he does in here.But he's still a very good vocalist either way.

[DiscipleW]

brent :D ur awesome Singer and ull be great father either

[Disturbed3650]

I always chuckle at soon he talks after finishing his acoustic performances haha

[luvabulheadache]

seen them in concert twice :)

[jerry4906]

i enjoy the fact we can like or dislike songs...that lets us know that up to this point two retards watched the video

[Sticky52008]

That a Gibson Dove. . not a dang Hummingbird. . this one just has the orange sunburst.

[tru18fan]

These guys have touched my soul... I love Shinedown!

[misterc008]

sick f**kin solo... period end of discussion.

[jdv0326]

1 person is an absolute idiot and knows nothing about good music! SICK FUCKING MIX!!!!!

[Frankieh16]

What the hell does Eric's guitar say?

[GinjaNinja1994]

I love his voice

[sarahh2009loved]

I am so bummed out, I could be seeing them in an acoustic set, right now!!

[thatdrummer2010]

[chasindreams34]

[babyhulk510]

They must really like Gibsons... :D

[jordansomein]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa 

[KevMait76]

Great Job !

[mshk1989]

[TheLostdandelion]

@mshk1989 he gained weight because he has broken his addiction to cocaine

[1234dolfan]

[musicVamp527]

I wish there was a love button on this! I love Brent's voice no matter what, but on acoustic its even sexier. :)

[dksmith96]

[TheLostdandelion]

If Shinedown only knew how much I love them ! Thank you so much thebuzzrocks for sharing this video ! 

[666Shinedown]

[666Shinedown]

[KatieMc618]

@snowboy68 im sorry to hear that.

[kytim2]

As far as vocalist go, he's one of the best of all time. And he wore that gibson out pimp.

[kytim2]

As far as vocalist go, he's one of the best of all time.

[95Neos]

I love the guitar of myers

[Nirvalica]

I wish he'd stick to the original melody. I like it better.

[hurondude]

This is the best song and best video ever.

[newgod13]

His voice is like a combo of shark week and sex. It's the best thing ever.

[ramrodd]

@newgod13 lmao dude, perfect hyperbole

[MrTmnt321]

brent. im still trying to figure out what range vocally you are. are you a tenor or a baritone? your the greatest singer man. im jealous a lil bit. hah

[cyberprunes]

@MrTmnt321 I'd say def a baritone. Yeah, he's got a lot of talent.

[RLPages]

Best harmony by a rock band of all time. Btw, this has 0 dislikes.

[8WolfNecklace8]

beautiful. enough said

[HeloMyNameIsBandGeek]

everytime i hear brent smith sing i get goose bumps and chills. he's soo amazing <3 i love him

[AshwinManOfSteel]

@HeloMyNameIsBandGeek He is a freak of nature. Incredibly gifted guy. :) <3

[jbstrevel94]

I have mastered this on guitar. I have learned strumming patterns, technique and everything. The only thing that makes me mad is I haven't learned the lead. I wanna learn that lead!! I know all of the other stuff. "Sound of Madness" had a easier lead than this song.

[nascaraddict329]

i love this version. i'm a huge fan of acoustic versions bevause you really have to be musically inclined to do it well and shinedown definitely meets the criteria

[Rockin5teve]

This is talent.

[TheAznjerk]

greatest fuckin guitar...

[tchammer2m]

thats awesome

[cybrwolf0]

i just started learning guitar and i see that on an acoustic and i just think, no damn way!!!

[1wickedangel]

He has such an amazing voice!

[utookmynameufuck]

Your son hates you!

[DarkLinkAD]

god this so fucking natural, ofcourse this song brings feelings Id rather forget, its really amazing, I hope to god shinedown views comments on youtube like this, if things goes the right way, people like me will be able to sing along in person with this guy one day. I hope he knows this music can change someones life, like and on and off switch. its touches your soul

[xXChristianOttXx]

Why didn't they use that solo

[iambeccafran]

EPIC & ETERNAL ... Those concrete cinder blocks now have a soul forever @ Municipal ... Forever Graced & Blessed.

[elmoekardt]

i'm surprised he sang an octave lower he really can sing the song live in a higher octave just fine.

[adamotaku]

yeah, he actually sings with a lot more soul in the acoustic version

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

This is how you know a good singer...sounds great just singing..no effects to help and still sounds great

[volkirk94]

Best band ever.. this is me and my gf''s song =) freaking love this =D

[InFlash789]

@volkirk94 this is me and my girls song too....i played it for her once XD

[AGFuzzyPancake]

The dude on the right has some crazy ass hair. (in a good way)

[fenderstrat707]

that is eric bass the bassist

[brittanylove909]

@AGFuzzyPancake i loveeee his hair!! but, he cut it all off now. haha.

he's the bassist. but yeah. bye bye hair :(

[incubus022]

Sick fucking acoustic solo! Period.

[KatieMc618]

@incubus022 You suck.if you don't like it then don't listen to it.

[LiveOnKills]

just got back from throwing my guitar in the lake

[XxDeadly666EmoxX]

right behind u with my hands wet lol

[UltimateSinX]

Anyone want to buy a wet guitar? Cheap Cheap. It's a deal of a lifetime

[DOGSOFWAR2006]

Yea it may be simple but make it sound that damn good. I've listened to Shinedown for 5 years and have played for two and I struggle to make it sound half this good.

[DarkLinkAD]

@LiveOnKills no ones worth that.
