I'm so proud of you Brent. When I was eleven years old I started to take drugs like crystal and speed. Now I'm clean and I hope and think you will stay that, too.
Brent is the perfect musician. He's so talented, and has the most incredible voice i've ever heard. His lyrics are deep and beautiful. He's not a screw up talent, and he changed his life around. And all this makes him sexy I guess. Shinedown is the best band...ever.
brent's one of the few guys that has his head on straight. my sperm donor of a birth dad's an alcoholic & from what my mom has told me about him, i wouldn't doubt he's tried nearly everything under the sun. sure, there were the few moments where he was a decent guy & everything, but he was never really there for me or my brothers. being there for ur kid to help 'em w/ anything u can or just a comforting hug is being a parent. the fact that he's quit for his son is pretty damn remarkable
@harvestsoulfly yea you cant drink and not think shits going to happen, im a recovering heroin junky and if i were to drink, my as well get a needle ready to go, cause thats where it will lead me
@harvestsoulfly everyone is different. who are you to judge this man, pouring his life out? what have you done in life that can measure up to what Brent has done? we all make mistakes, at least he's man enough to admit them and move on. it's called taking it "one day at a time."
@harvestsoulfly dude, my sperm donor fuckin SLEPT w/ a beer under his pillow. he's got so many problems from drugs & alcohol, he's too far gone. i've got a friend who's had to take care of her coked up & strung out parents for most her life. yet here u sit behind a screen, bashing someone for having a beer every now & then? i'd have to agree with gleetron. at least he admits his mistakes & moves forward to try & learn from them
God bless brent for pullin through. It's very cool that his son saved him. Although I find it funny at 1:36 Barry's like: "Oh God... Here he goes again..." I love shinedown.
You dork ass. He is tapping his arm because he is a DRUMMER AND THERE IS MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND HE IS DRUMMING TO. My daughter is a drummer and when she hears music she does the same thing. You are an idiot.
Look at how Barry starts acting as SOON as Brent starts talkng abou this drug addiction...looking at his left arm, rubbing it up and down, nodding his head and tapping his fingers like he's playing drums....he is SO uncomfotable. That is shame right there. I would bet him his last shot that he has a drug problem even worse than Barry's, since I'm PRETTY sure, just from that tattoo on his arm and then when he starts rubbing his arm when Brent starts talking about drugs, that he uses needles...
@savagembrace Although it's a possibility, I doubt it. He's a drummer, he's tapping to the beat of the music in the background. And your gunna tell me you have never rubbed your arm before? Dont jump to conclusions.
@ClassicsGoneIntense yeah, you may be right as well, but don't you find it a tad ironic that he starts acting like that, almost completely disassociating from the environment, getting in his own head, etc., as SOON as Brent starts talking about his own addiction. As someone who herself has dealed with addiction, and is two years clean mind you, as well as someone who has had countless friends who are addicts, I recognize the signs immediately.
Im 13 and i stopped going to school and made friends with some teenagers and we smoked weed and did other things and i now regret it but im 4weeks clean and i stopped hanging out with them.
Im 13 and i stopped going to school and made friends with some teenagers and we smoked weed and did other thinks and i now regret it but im 4weeks clean and i stopped hanging out with them.
Have any of you guys dealt with Methadone? My boyfriend is having difficulty getting off of it because of the detoxing. He doesn't want to go through it. He heard it can takes months to become clean. So he sees it as months of misery. I wish I knew of a way to make it easier for him.
My name is Danney Ross and I spent 10 plus yrs addicted to OCs, heroin and any kind of opiate you can think of. I am now a recovering addict I havnt used in over 2 yrs. God bless you Brent and stay clean bro...............................
Lol! Hollywood Undead is in the background while he's talking about getting off of drugs and being a good father for his son, and being there for him.
shit dude. oxcycotin is gross. especially when it drips from throat. ick. and i've tried coke,but never again! i love you brent! and i love shinedown. they've helped me with their songs be4.<3.
I totally agree! I'm a mom of four (all mine). They challenge and inspire me to levels I never dreamed could be possible. Many prayers for your continued success as a parent who truly has given of themselves! Be well! :)
anyone who escapes shootin dope evryday, like myself, and writes music is going to b a walking inspiration cuz they harness all that passion n pain into one thing. like he says "writing songs is cheaper than therapy"
My name is Brent Dumas.im 16.I use to be addicted to morphine, oxycotton, and any kind of opiate really. I use to obsessively snort pills of any kind. I use to do Cocaine. And as of now im clean. Been clean for 2 months
@panteragod69 congrats you should celebrate and go bang a few 30s..hey why not.you owe it to yourself for being good..lol im just kidding little brother..seriously congrats.im a recovering addict after 20 years myself.Thank god that you caught it early pal or it wouldve been a really screwed up life.if you were lucky enough to live thru it.stay clean,stay proud and take it 1 day at a time.god bless
Brent has earned my respect, even just by what he's said in this interview. I know what it's like to have no father around. He may be alive (as well as always sober and doesn't touch a second bottle of beer), but stuff like this always hits home for me when people make that choice that they would give up drugs and really anything that gets in their way of being a father. I don't even know if I want kids, but at the same time I have a desire to someday be the father that I didn't have.
I have never yet met a drummer who didn't always have a beat running through his or her head, and who didn't tap fingers, toes, head-bob or fidget in their seat along with it. Drummers are unique creatures and trying to get one to sit still is like trying to stop rain from falling. Just enjoy them like you would any other wild animal. :-) Shinedown rocks my socks off, huge talent here and his voice just gives me shivers.
@07foxmulder YOU GO SUCK YOUR OWN COCK! Even if you don't like someone, don't say that about someone. Shinedown is a extremely awesome band, and You would never be about to be as good as them. When you sell as many records as them, and when you get an amazing voice, you can talk. Until then, GO TO HELL YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!
@skylershaman I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave me a thumbs up, this is my new account and i just wanted you guys to know that meant alot to me :)
Brent is so intelligent. They all are in my opinion.
I met them yesterday in Simpsonville,SC. Got to meet them and got a signed PRS blue zach myers guitar. :) They were so sweet and they all wished me a happy early sweet 16 and hugged me again =)
Anyone considering going to see them,def do it. You WILL NOT regret it. =)
@theusedechelongirl94 I saw them in Jacksonville, FL last week. Met with them too. They were my first concert and were honestly the most down to earth people I have ever seen. Brent, Barry and Eric were so sweet. And I agree, go see those boys, because they are amazing. You won't regret it at all. :D
They dont think they are going to be immortalised you plum! Its called having ambition. i love how people comment on these things just to slag people of because they have nothing better to do with their lives.
Immortalized? They think they are gonna be immortalized like Aerosmith or AC/DC? That's funny. What a bunch of clowns. I'm sorry but no one is going to listen or remember shinedown music in 10 years time. Probably more like 5 years. There is absolutely nothing special about it. Nothing. Just another generic lame ass band from the lost decade of music.
@metallikuh520 You are a fan of Nirvana? Some nerve calling ShineDown a-sound-alike. Nirvana was boring and depressing. They could never hold a candle to ShineDown.
@Treaty4 Yeah... Nirvana's music was revolutionary in it's simplicity, originality and revival of the punk-rock spirit, and it pretty much changed American life in the early 90's. What has shinedown done? ...Oh Yeah, nothing...because there is absolutely nothing original about Shinedown's music. Saying they are that much more important than a band like Nirvana shows you have really immature taste in music. That's a fact.
@metallikuh520 No it is not a fact. It is just your opinion. Nirvana stinks. Even if they sold millions of albums, it does not mean they were good. There are millions of people who actually like junk music. Kurt Cobain was a depressing musician with a lousy band. I would put them in the category of Britney Spears, Beiber, Lady GaGa etc.... no real talent at all.
@myspaceisforfags82 I love Bon Jovi. Bed of roses, living on a prayer, we weren't born to follow, it's my life, and the list goes on. Went to see them at Arco Arena in March and they put on a good show. And Metal does not have to like Bon Jovi. That is his choice. And I will not think he is immature. Everyone has an opinion.
@metallikuh520 Yes it was. Simply horrible. And the only immature one is you buddy. You can't accept that there are people who did not think Nirvana was great. You know who really changed music? I will tell you. William Hung changed music. A no talent engineering student who tried out for Idol sold a few thousand albums. Now that is revolutionary. Nirvana was a stink fest.
he nailed it!! i gave up drugs too when my daughter was born!! it was time to grow up!,, but i still let the beer flow. not a problem at all. cant elliminate all the fun things in your life.
All you guys should not be talkin about your addictions on here. It's not that we dont give a shit, good on you, I respect the fact that most of you have gone through this alive. But all the kids comin to listen what Brent Smith says about it are gonna read you, and start thinkin that bein a junkie is cool, and rock and roll. So please god dammit go and talk about it in places made for it, and just not on Youtube pages.
RUInternational There is hope for the Hopeless that are struggling with addiction. Reformers Unanimous is a faith-based addictions program. We maintain an 82% percent success rate! Check us out @Ruinternational.
I love Brent. I think he's the most talented vocalist in today's music industry. There were some things in the interview that I didn't agree with. You're always an addict. In AA and NA you introduce yourself as an addict or alcoholic. Usually when you relapse you get worse than before. $2500 a week jesus! It's amazing that he can drink like a "normal" person. I respect the fact that he turned things around because statistically almost all addicts in the world don't get to that point.
i really hope one day i can write songs like him.. im not a rock fan or anything im more of country hick type of guy, but i play guitar and brent has inspired me in many ways to keep on playing music and to hopefully write music one day.. his lyrics stand out more than any artist i know of.. keep it up brent and shinedown, keep doing what you are doing now and youll go a long ways.. possibly farther than them stones lol
they definitely rock, i saw them for the second time last night and it was the best show i've ever seen. they speak a truth and say things that i feel but can't put into words.. by far my favourite band ever.
They F-ing rock man, I've seen them 6 times in a 15 month period. In my opinion they are the best rock band of this decade and maybe the last 20 years. Look at the 3 CD's they put out, does any other band compare. If you are a true fan and not a poser you know the songs speak for themselves. Truly genuine
@09limegreen It sounds as if the interviewer is French and/or Canadian. Perhaps the people in the background do not know who they are if Shinedown is in a foreign Country. If this was the United States, people would be jumping in front of the camera waving their arms desperately or on their cell phones calling a buddy!
@mattm0183 - Pinkpop is a dutch festival, and the accent is also clearly dutch. (i know this cause im dutch myself) not a lot of people know shinedown in holland, let alone they know who brent smith is..... i myself would ofcourse go crazy seeing them, haha!
@09limegreen lol thats cause its back stage,at a festival..they are all rodey's man..and thats why starts hide cause people freek out they are just regular folk like anyone else..
The better question would be, why does every celebrity do drugs? Because there are plenty of pop, r&b, rap, country, actors, etc..that are on drugs, rock stars are the ones who just don't hide it. Plus, I can relate, as a fellow musician, when I'm under the influence of a substance, inspiration for songs comes a hell of a lot easier and faster.
Ive known brent for years (and barry too), and I know what he's like when he's clean, and when he's not. He's not on anything (other than beer, lol). Cant say the same for Barry, lol
this aint a pissin contest yall...

Brent, Barry and Eric were so sweet. And I agree, go see those boys, because they are amazing. You won't regret it at all. :D

Immortalized? They think they are gonna be immortalized like Aerosmith or AC/DC? That's funny. What a bunch of clowns. I'm sorry but no one is going to listen or remember shinedown music in 10 years time. Probably more like 5 years. There is absolutely nothing special about it. Nothing. Just another generic lame ass band from the lost decade of music.

@metallikuh520 Sorry. I made a mistake and sent a reply to Nirvanafan. You are just jealous. You could never in a million years sound this good.

@Treaty4 Yeah... Nirvana's music was revolutionary in it's simplicity, originality and revival of the punk-rock spirit, and it pretty much changed American life in the early 90's. What has shinedown done? ...Oh Yeah, nothing...because there is absolutely nothing original about Shinedown's music. Saying they are that much more important than a band like Nirvana shows you have really immature taste in music. That's a fact.
metallikuh520 1 year ago
@metallikuh520 No it is not a fact. It is just your opinion. Nirvana stinks. Even if they sold millions of albums, it does not mean they were good. There are millions of people who actually like junk music. Kurt Cobain was a depressing musician with a lousy band. I would put them in the category of Britney Spears, Beiber, Lady GaGa etc.... no real talent at all.

@myspaceisforfags82 I love Bon Jovi. Bed of roses, living on a prayer, we weren't born to follow, it's my life, and the list goes on. Went to see them at Arco Arena in March and they put on a good show. And Metal does not have to like Bon Jovi. That is his choice. And I will not think he is immature. Everyone has an opinion.
Treaty4 1 year ago
@metallikuh520 Yes it was. Simply horrible. And the only immature one is you buddy. You can't accept that there are people who did not think Nirvana was great. You know who really changed music? I will tell you. William Hung changed music. A no talent engineering student who tried out for Idol sold a few thousand albums. Now that is revolutionary. Nirvana was a stink fest.

@MrNirvanafan18 Sorry for using your name instead of metalikuh520. But I still think Nirvana was not in ShineDown's league at all.

All you guys should not be talkin about your addictions on here. It's not that we dont give a shit, good on you, I respect the fact that most of you have gone through this alive. But all the kids comin to listen what Brent Smith says about it are gonna read you, and start thinkin that bein a junkie is cool, and rock and roll. So please god dammit go and talk about it in places made for it, and just not on Youtube pages.

I love Brent. I think he's the most talented vocalist in today's music industry. There were some things in the interview that I didn't agree with. You're always an addict. In AA and NA you introduce yourself as an addict or alcoholic. Usually when you relapse you get worse than before. $2500 a week jesus! It's amazing that he can drink like a "normal" person. I respect the fact that he turned things around because statistically almost all addicts in the world don't get to that point.

i really hope one day i can write songs like him.. im not a rock fan or anything im more of country hick type of guy, but i play guitar and brent has inspired me in many ways to keep on playing music and to hopefully write music one day.. his lyrics stand out more than any artist i know of.. keep it up brent and shinedown, keep doing what you are doing now and youll go a long ways.. possibly farther than them stones lol

hannahpalangana 2 years ago
They F-ing rock man, I've seen them 6 times in a 15 month period. In my opinion they are the best rock band of this decade and maybe the last 20 years. Look at the 3 CD's they put out, does any other band compare. If you are a true fan and not a poser you know the songs speak for themselves. Truly genuine

@09limegreen It sounds as if the interviewer is French and/or Canadian. Perhaps the people in the background do not know who they are if Shinedown is in a foreign Country. If this was the United States, people would be jumping in front of the camera waving their arms desperately or on their cell phones calling a buddy!

WHY DOES EVERY ROCK STAR DO DRUGS?
TheSesshy13 2 years ago
The better question would be, why does every celebrity do drugs? Because there are plenty of pop, r&b, rap, country, actors, etc..that are on drugs, rock stars are the ones who just don't hide it. Plus, I can relate, as a fellow musician, when I'm under the influence of a substance, inspiration for songs comes a hell of a lot easier and faster.
