  • Comment removed

  • @mrgungho if u think the perforance sucks so bad then y do u keep getting on the video dumbass

  • Comment removed

  • @mrgungho you want to critisize id like to see u go and sing half as good u cant so shut ur damn mouth

  • @mrgungho Troll harder

  • @mrgungho this guy has more talent in his farts than you could ever have, fuck off hater.

  • these 2 people are enough to take down everyone in their path.. I mean.. wow

  • I just don't get the judgemental way most people are. If you like the music listen to it if not dont. How hard is that. Who cares if you dont like it anyway, who the fuck are you? Have you went platinum? Does anyone know your name? No so shut the fuck up!

  • and I <3 Jesus playing guitar!!!! JASIN TODD IS THE SHIZ!!!!

  • fischer and boy or shark should get robert plant and jimmy paige to come play stairway to heaven

  • He's an amazing singer. One of my favorites... But does anyone else notice how often he gets under pitch.

  • this song fucking rocks... especially on the original ablum with editing done

  • Back then Brent was high on oxycotin and cocain, as well as as much booze as one could tolerate. Now, he has been clean and sober for 3 years, thanks to the birth of his son. If you were a real Shinedown fan you would know this as he talking about it with an open heart. I think the music has evolved just as he has. His songs are about life, his and others. His words are not always what they seem to be, often a metaphor. His voice is better than ever!

  • @okirishchik  word!!

  • I didn't know Jesus could rock like that!

  • This is Shinedown..... The stuff they do now is so horrible >< I miss Brents wonderful voice( I mean yeah he sings on the new stuff but listen to them back to back, they edit his voice and it makes me sad)

    I saw them in concert in knoxville and it was awesome ( I got to Bash buckcherry to the Lead singer and some other band member) I dislike the singer of buck cherry .....

    but i still like the old shinedown

  • Back when Shinedown was good. I loved their first album. But now they (Or he cause no one is an original member other then Brent.) suck balls. They are way to "main stream." I am really disappointed in what Shinedown has become.

  • @BDogGrizzly what about barry kerch? you might want to check your facts bro. How can you be disappointed in who they have become? Sound of madness went platinum. yupp thats really something to be disappointed about...

  • @BDogGrizzly , you are wrong. Barry Kirsch is an original band member.

  • its the weight of the world on my shoulders yea i yeahhh

    that rocks

  • This is definitely not one of the better performances I've seen from Brent, BUT, He is a fantastic vocalist and one of my favorites. This video does not do him justice. I hate when people compare performances like this to live shows. Go fucking see him live, and then if you still think he sucks, you will be declared legally retarded. Don't even try to compare Staind to Shinedown. They are totally different.

  • wow, so it takes only 2 people and a guitar to reach greatness.... who knew?

  • Heres the weight of the world on my shoulders .....

  • holy shit, can this guy ever sing.

  • @TravisSkateFlip one of the best voices in rock

  • Very good live performance!!

  • really good 

  • @californiaman2112 BULLSHIT!! I JUS SAW SHINEDOWN CHEVELLE SEVENDUST PUDDLE OF MUDD AND 10 YEARS AND SHINEDOWN WAS BY FAR THE BEST OF THE WHOLE NIGHT! IF YOU DONT LIKE SHINEDOWN YOU JUST SUCK !! YOU COULDNT EVEN SING THIS IN THE SHOWER LET ALONE UNDER WATER!

  • @dsspot8980 no1 can really sing underwater good!... moron! *Facepalm*

  • @californiaman2112 you sir are full of shit

  • @californiaman2112 good god, I hope tht is sarcasim...

  • so amazing.....

  • wtf is up with the flem singing?

  • excelent.

  • @JayDizz92 if you don't like this band, you don't like rock and roll. if you don't like rock and roll why would you see them live in the first place genius.. and if you didn't like them live why would you watch this video? get a life boy.

  • Thanks for posting.  Brent's voice is incredible and Jasin's playing is pure genius.

  • Brent needs to drop some weight and get a beard again, he looks 100x better here than he does right now.

  • wow Jesus plays the guitar well...

  • @MrMusikman24

    Jesus Wish he was Jasin

  • @MrMusikman24 Jesus invented the guitar solo but Satan made it rock.

  • @MrMusikman24 o yes he does!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrMusikman24 i quess that jesus loves rock:D

  • @MrMusikman24 lmao he does indeed :D

  • @MrMusikman24 Jesus is alive! And he rocks!! :D

  • @MrMusikman24 Well god is singing.

  • @MrMusikman24 Of course he can, HE'S JESUS!!

  • Hey if you like Shinedown. Check Us Out. Click on our Channel redsunrisingmusic and watch "Beautiful Suicide". Let us know what you think. We are fully independent from Akron,OH. Thanks RSR

  • For the people saying he's flat, have you heard this song before? It's written like that. He's mostly in key, he just jumps around a lot and likes to hold the dissonant grace notes.

  • fuck energy!!! I have to intrude staind is a much more powerful band live, and their better at acoustic performances... Arron lewis Kick's brent Smith's ass vocally!! SIN....

  • dude <aaron lewis is na fuckin whiner all his songs are depressing and alot of people had fucked up parents or whatever, you dont see all them crying about it , but to go as far as to say that stained is better than shinedown is justplain stupid :(

  • no disrespect but..,dude how could u say that he's flat?maybe u can sing well,but howcome he's more renown that you are?...i guess that's says it all don't it?...

  • omg who thinks brents voice is FLAT its the fricken song its very hard to not be flat on the song i saw the live lst summer in calgary and they are BEAST live so listen to , definantly 45,second chance or burning bright

  • amazing singing 0___o

  • get off his ass.....try singing your ass off night after night. you wouldnt be able to talk much less sing!! brent you rock

  • @shizzlefoot

    Who gives a rat's ass if he has perfect pitch? This is rock, not musical theater or opera. Mr. Smith has one of the best voices in rock right now.

    P.S. You have too much time on your hands. Go teach some kids to sing or something.

  • @shizzlefoot

    he may go flat sometimes. but you know what? he's making millions doing what he absolutely loves and an inspiration to tons of people. while your sitting on facebook bragging about your voice.

    why watch a video if you don't like it? i don't get it.

  • best vocals ever

  • Ah, Haha I love how Brent like plays with his hands during acoustic performances. Someone needs to give him a tamberine or something XDD

  • @shizzlefoot Then why don't we see you famous somewhere? Post a video please so i can see your so called perfect pitch, there is no such thing as " perfect pitch " there will always be room for improvement. Your just some arrogant fuck who has nothing better to do

  • That's not Zach Myers. That's the original guitarist Jasin Todd. Btw, the guitar isn't out of tune, it's brent's voice. Yikes.

  • he looks like Mufasa!

  • lol, looks like they want to catch up with zz top

  • he may be out of tune but he can probably play guitar a hell of alot better than us

  • i don't disagree with shizzlefoot though.

    he only sounds flat during the chorus.

    not bad just a little flat

  • this guy sounds sounds like crap with out the loud instruments covering hid flaws!

  • I don't see why people even think he sounds bad! and the guitar, NOT FLAT WHY DO U THINK THAT!? it's just that the bass isn't there, and so it sounds different.

  • Wow...Zach needs to invest in an electronic tuner. The ear tuning just isn't working for him. And Brent, apparently, needs some headphone monitors or something. You're a tad flat, my friend. Awesome song though.

  • @shizzlefoot Erm, No no, he is not flat at all and secondly that isn't zach myres on guitar there you idiot

  • @shizzlefoot: 1. Its acoustic, his guitars gonna sound different. you don't need to be a guitarist to know that. 2. Brent sounds just fine. Not his BEST performance but still, he sounds great.

  • You must be tone deaf if you cant tell he is super flat!

  • uhm.. that would be jason, not zach you idiot, and no he isn't flat.

  • There's nobody named Zach in this video.

  • What a ass. Thats jason. ZACH is a bad ass.

  • Comment removed

  • .53 - .55 tenacious D anyone

  • the recorded version was so much better

  • holy shit. i didn't recognize brent at all until he started singing.

  • Why does he sing soooo much better with a beardstache? He should definitely grow it out again.

  • rofl.... beardstache...

  • Is it wrong to think Brent with a beard looks like Kevin Smith?

    Other than that, I love this song. Studio or Acoustic, it rocks

    He has just that cool enough voice that it works either way

  • @MCMGVash: holy crap he kinda does lol. now i wanna watch jay and silent bob strike back haha

  • powerful voice! just made my day!

  • i dnty get y evy1 thinks this vid is soo bad...its certINLY NOT HIS BEST PERFORmance at ALL..but give him a break..non-stop touring will get the best of even the greatest

  • Neva saw him with a beard before. Crazy.

  • I love this video of Brent Smith.He is the best & the greatest singer in the world.He also has the best voice ever.Zebrina

  • his voice is so fucking raw

  • I love the pure emotion that radiates off Brent when he performs!

  • Brent can't always sing as high as he does in the recording, it takes a lot out of you physically, and its an acoustic version many artists bring it down in pitch. It was pitchy, but he might of been in the midst of decided what he was going to do with it and flopped .

  • That seems accurate, but he was also addicted to pain killers at that point of their career. Not to mention this song seems like one of the hardest ones for him to do live.

  • i saw shinedown live in july.. one of the best bands ever to see live.. so much energy the place was rockin they brought alot more energy then staind or anyone else..

  • West42.. I saw them live to at SPAC also in July. They have been my favorite band since the first album, and they preformed just incredibly! Brent really knows how to grab a crowed!

    Shinedown forever!

    (Savemesd45)

  • @brockwest42 i just saw them about three or four weeks ago. they were good. which shocks me after seeing this before i thought shinedown was any good, haha. a lot of people were jumping and singing along, but it wasn't too crazy.

  • @brockwest42 yeah i saw them in august with chevelle. best show ever

  • gonna see these guys september 14th

  • you wont be dissapointed, I saw them in January. You are gonna get insane! (in a good way) :p

  • i listen to this every time im nervous and then im not nervous anymore

  • good song! 2:24, his eyes lol

  • I still think the guitar is being played out of tune, whether not tuned properly or technique. It sounds out of tune. Also, the harmonies aren't there which he could be trying to compensate for on the chorus. That's a mistake, but whatever. I still like the song. I don't expect shit to be perfect; that's what record companies have sold you. Perfection is not real music that's produced. I like it raw.

  • WTF, i don't here anything wrong with this.

  • i love shinedown...but i have to admit he does sound a bit pitchy with the singing

  • going through this the 3rd time, i see what you mean about it, both ways he sounds good.

  • he sounds rele good live

    i saw them,saving able,a7x and buckcherry they were all rele good

  • buckcherry and saving abel suck live. buckcherry is terrible anyway. a7x and shinedown saved that concert. both were BEASTLY

  • oh i havent seen shinedown but A7X was fucking crazy

  • The guitar is out of tune, and so is he on the big parts.

  • i call bs and trying to act like you know what you're talking about. He tuned up before he played this song.

  • your an idiot.....

  • im srry you cant blame the guitar for his singing i play guitar and to me the guitar sounds fine

  • THIS is the Shinedown I love, I just saw them last week, and something's just different about them now. They've (or I should say Brent, the only remaining original member) have lost the grungy, southern rock look and tried to modernize somewhat. There's just something not the same anymore... Plus he's a heck of a lot fatter now than he was here

  • Brent's not the only remaining member. Barry, the drummer, was there in the beginning.

  • I know most everyone that sees this likes shinedown and I do too. But but you have to agree that he sounds like shit in this video. like at 1:26 and 1:37.

  • I dont he sounds like shit there, tho I think he didnt put everything he had at those momentes. For me it seems like he got confused how to sing that part acoustic. But hey, thats just me.

  • That is how he normally sings this song acoustic

  • just a bad day man...this was in his vocal prime too lol...sometimes you just dont feel it some days, and he probly didnt feel it here...still pretty damn good compared to most singers these days.

  • i was supposed to see them on my 16th bday, but the day before, i broke my knee. so instead of seein them, i was in the hospital with 4 in needle behind my broken kneecap gettin blood drawn out.

  • WOW ... These at Download Festival ... at the front barrier i was so close and they were perfect ... like goosbumps all the way thru their set ... Love them ... Just amazing ... DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 09 ... LEGEND!

  • anyone who thinks this is a shitty version seriously needs to get their hearing checked because no matter how he changes the tempo or sings a little off key.. it still sounds damn good...plus, try singing a full album at 9am with nothing but a mic and an acoustic guitar!!

  • Brent looks really fat here, kinda like shawn morgan from seether

  • Thats just mean calling him fat.........he probably prefers big-boned.

  • Comment removed

  • actually shawn morgan lost alot of weight

  • So epic on acoustic!

  • exactly thats what makes this a great band

  • jeeze...singing is really not good in this recording...

  • dude,you have no ears.

  • I have ears, the singing is just shitty. Maybe you are tonedeaf?

  • Just because he is not singing the way it is on your mp3 doesn't mean it's shitty.

  • no, it's shitty because he's not singing on key, he is constantly flat or sharp and it sounds bad. I have no problem with artists differing their vocals in live performances, but singing offkey is inexcusable.

  • how bout you break it down . . . where does he go flat??? plus it his song they wrote it. they can sing it however he wants. . it is unplugged afterall. . . oh and r u a vocal coach or something . . i doubt it so stfu . . . this is a very good version

  • @shizzlefoot don't be so harsh on him...there are very few singers with a voice capable of screaming so musically pleasant...altough u are perfectly right, i still find this to be a very good performance, because it's very soulfull...sry for the bad english i'm romanian:D

  • @shizzlefoot You're totally right he's completely flat. Nobody is saying he's a bad singer or that the band sucks just that he's flat. It happens sometimes.

  • well i wish i could sing like that

  • @shizzlefoot i can tune my dick to your mouth, than when im done, laugh at you cause you're still not a fraction to brent's success.

  • No you are tonedeaf.Brent is mother fucking great at vocals.You know what bitch make a video of you doing it better and then you fucking can talk about brent that way.

  • he goes flat at 1:27ish for example. No I'm not a vocal coach, I just have a working pair of ears. and 530113whateverthefuck I have plenty of videos of me singing, and in fact, maybe I will do a video of me singing this song. thanks for the idea.

  • 530113whateverthefuck.Dude fuck you.Its swollenparadox bitch.You know what do it so I can talk more shit about you.

  • hahahaha, okay, sorry I don't speak 1337

  • stop fighting over the internet tough guy, its his opinion, if you dont agree with it then dont be a bitch about it

  • You know what fuck you to he started his shit.All I said was Brent was a great vocalist and if he think he is better do it better,and he got pissy.Now you come hear and start your fucking shit.

  • take it easy tough guy, i agree brents fuckin godly but you're yelling at a guy through a computer

  • This was back before Brent went clean, looks like hes tweaking just a bit. Still, best band ever, and a damn good version. Thanks 97X for posting this

  • pretty good i liked it

  • Awesome. :]

  • aw he looks nervous

    but still good

  • nice but that aint it either..

  • they have an original vid. It was pulled from ytube for some reason. Anyway May 9th bitches! :~)~~

  • shinedown need an official music video

    but shinedown sound awesome live which is hard 4 alot of singers/bands

  • were can i see it?

  • Are you deaf? He sounds fine. Better than most people when they do acoustic gigs.

  • JG53Pogo ... hehe .... You are ranting at how shit he is .... spell correctly ... I was listing to this amazing song all the while laughing at your lackluster rant with the grammer of a two year old ... So yeah ... anyways now that i have spoke to the idiot ... To everyone!!! SHINEDOWN YEAH MAN!!! DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL!!! SO HAPPY!!! :D ............. Love it! xox

  • im not starting shit but before you can tell someone how to spell firs you need to learn, listening not listing

  • Comment removed

  • first, learn to spell

    second, get your ears checked

    third, brent has one of the best voices ever

  • I have never heard a better live male ROCK singer, there are better, but nobody sings rock like Brent Smith, he is as close to perfection for rock as you can get, and Shinedown ROCKS!!! I have seen them live, they are amazing, almost better than the albums... SHINEDOWN ROCKS!

  • dude atlest shinedown is better live then disturbed i mean he can't hit any of the note's but yet it still sond's good why is that?¿

  • Comment removed

  • O_O holy freakin crap hes good
