Shinedown - Simple Man (Acoustic)

[vppile]

He went out with his daughter

[zzriise]

iodjkfodkljdnikld omfg i nearly cry

[newyuno]

Brent smith is the best singer ever.

[poconome]

My absolute favorite song.. This Version by Shinedown is far more soulful than Skynards... As good as the original was this reaches deeper!

[bgodin47]

I was really enjoying the scenery / visuals... then they all of a sudden disappear. coincidentally, this video was posted the day my daughter ChrissyJane was born (her father slays a crowd when he sings this song).

[trexilll]

Dont get me wrong I love skynyrd and the original is probably one of the top 3 most well-known/loved songs in the world but I think Brent Smith performs it with way more emotion, and it just feels like he makes the song his own in a way

[FaceboookMee]

Only 14 People Like The Origanal Version!

>:(

[glaciervillage]

The ending is a disappointment

[Magicl63]

This is really good and the emotion really comes through but its a bit over the top to get the true essence of the song. If you want to see the perfect delivery see Ronnie's brother Johnny's version with the original band (Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man 1987 youtubevideo). Simple and effortless by the entire band which is what the song tries to teach every generation. Over the top can be good now and then but being a Simple Man everyday thats what Ronnie wanted for all of us...Cheers

[squatchism]

Ive been listening to Skynard since i was a wee boy, and i think this one is as goad as the original

[MrCrossover2000]

@squatchism you from Cavan or somethin

[TheDharris50]

Quality is not bad that is how the song was meant to sound, like a record at the beginning.

[sunofgrace]

Marvelous.

[rnlli]

1st time, 78 times, or thousands more

each time i hear this song i tear up.

[MissesJoplin]

awesome lynyrd skynyrd cover..

[pavella2228]

[LOADEDBURGER42]

This is my little big bro''s favoirte song played it at his funeral miss you josh :'(

[freeonbail1]

awesome



[SeducedToNothing]

Shinedown did a great cover, I also like Deftone's cover of this song (Deftone's came out before Shinedown's but wasn't mainstream.)

[kjp09586]

im not much on remakes of songs but shine down did one hell of a job and thanks for the video

[vance816]

brent smith from shinedown

[narutogum22]

[Malkinrocks]

@narutogum22 don't worry man. you'll find your girl. love yourself, then there will always be someone to love you.

[lolsmileyface517]

beautiful screen savers

[playloudguy420]

Great song, one of the few covers out there about as good as the original.

[kenniilovemat]

i love this song

[skuzzlebutt13]

finally, a big name band does a cover of a skynyrd song. its about damn time. i dont listen to shinedown but the singer actually sounds like ronnie.

[albatros163]

they sucks very much

[Grumpy434]

great song ...shitty video...take all ur promo crap off and let us enjoy the song

[steffanloud]

honestly i like this one way better than the original sorry skynard

[zachamortmusic]

I LOVE shinedown

[TheChronicJuice]

Never heard this song before, always avoided because remakes are never as good. I guess i was wrong. Shinedown really did something here. Awesome song. As good or better than the original by lynard and thats not easy to say.

[ellehcchelle]

Great work. Thanks!

[Ashmain1985]

Very Amazing Version of the song...Also try Deftones version

[SuperBradAzz]

ok ummmmmm well, my uncle whom i've only seen 2 times in my life was found dead od'd on coke and the only reason they found him was they found his ex g/f in a dumpster chopped into a lot of pieces. f'ing psycho. and that's just one family member.

[MrSpecialistMdS]

Singer/acoustic - Brent Smith

Original Artist - Leonard Skynard

[MrSpecialistMdS]

My Dads an Alcoholic My Aunt Dates People Who Are Married My Uncle Oded When i was 2 my other uncle got drunk passed out and set his house on fire when i was 13 my grandpa is dieing of 5 different cancers and my other grandpa has cancer in his stomach my grandmas dieng from smoking her entire life

[TheDoyleCrew]

boehagen hang in there man i feel ur pain i lost my uncle not too long ago and he was like my dad since my dad wasnt around much just hang in there ur bro is lookin down on u now he is always wit u just hang in there

[boehagen]

[Killjoy9930]

Skynard was the original and it is amazing however I think there's a point were after years and years of listening to his version it's time for the classic to be reborn and shinedowns cover hits me harder possibly.

My uncle who is 37 swears by skynards version however at 20yrs old I thing shindown just speaks to my generation better.

[micronotlimp]

Great song!!!

[verydoozy]

not bad but the guitar is off a little on parts here and there. still really nice good job

[DieHardSkateboarding]

you do know its the actual band playing it.

[verydoozy]

oh, well then they were a few notes off here and there compared to their album.

[hwaycasie30728]

@verydoozy it could be just because they're playing it in a slightly different key than their album not necessarily off any notes just sounds different being in a different key

[acolyteofsithis]

LMAO FAIL

[verydoozy]

XD my bad whatever dude lol

[wesley7243]

great song no matter who sings it

[DodgerReid]

I prefer Deftones version, but this is also amazing

[Michno58]

I Love the Original...

I Love this one...

They are both awesome in my book

[alexhp91]

@Michno58 I love the original, and usually I always like originals over remakes, but honestly, I feel like there's much more emotion in the shinedown version. I like it better.

[killen4aliven]

lynard skynard is better

[chimpmunk5]

this is alright the original is 100 times better tho1

[defilm]

I think Shinedown did a really good job at remaking this song. Although I still think the original song is better Shinedown does a really good job remaking it.

[clamhugger]

this song actually is all about life and how we shoud live it as it is and not how were told too. choose what you want and not what u need. a need isnt a purpose its just a aspiration to what you think u need

but when you look inside you find what you want and then you have purpose

[chriset21]

this song sounds so good i love it

[Hiddenfire79]

The only song my mother ever dedicated to me . . . . this is an AWESOME RENDITION

[HomicidalPuppy]

you know when you comment you could just say.."this song is awsome!!"..instead of all stuff about monkeys and lepricons

[fatmonkey00]

if this guys nostrils flared while the moon is in the house monkey fetus, i would kick my speakers finger nut

[moneybags1394]

best song...

[jessbass93]

About as good as a crocodile hat on a unicorns teapot. Thats good by the way!!

[fatmonkey00]

heard dat like a lepricons ears stuck to a duckmonkeys uteris

[linebacker054]

do u even kno wat the fuck your saying?

[x19sweetpea64x]

awesome shots :)

[jmsthebest16]

great song, great video man thanks a lot.

Shinedown is fantastic

[fatmonkey00]

If he told me to "kill my dogs left corner butthole '' i would with a rats sharp tail

[clr122]

um.. what? hahaha

[fatmonkey00]

dont do it, youve obviously got taste in music

[MurderMoment]

Be a simple kind of man<3

[iamthemusicman13]

ya its from the waaf studios

[jackratcliff]

MMMM  GOOOD!!!

[NaturesGlory]

I was listening to WAAF when this was first recorded live in the AAF studio... man what a performance! I remember when they were talking about how there was a huge silence after they finished the song, and then everybody went nuts. Great moment in radio.

[KODYKNOWLTON]

Was this first recorded in the aaf studio?

[NaturesGlory]

Yeah. First ever recording. Well, I mean they might possibly have had some live versions but I don't think they had anything actually recorded.

[deetardeded]

LOL AT FAT MONKEY

[hillaryleannep]

this is the greastest ever i love skynard but this is wowowowowowowow

[GeekWithAmbition]

i luv you all!

[tweek23el]

Excellent job man!

[mst3000k]

Like Tyler Durden said: "Know that you are going to die. Don't fear it, KNOW it." This is how I live (Simple Man). Live, love, enjoy our short existences. For me, its tubing, grilling with a beer, and concerts.

[mst3000k]

saw them do Simple Man in cedar rapids, IA about 4 years ago.

[TorzyG]

Beautiful song.. Thanks to Skynyrd and Shinedown! : D 10/5

[JackFarrINC]

this song just changed my outlook on music wow wow wow wow wow

[fatmonkey00]

bad bad puddin.....oh sorry im talkin to my food again

[AsNCuTiE]

Good cover :D

[big190rack]

great pics....

[tnrtapp]

one of the best covers ive ever heard

[lostpolly]

uh... this IS a cover... its a skynyrd song. this is common knowledge.

[DUCKERMOUNTIN]

The greatest song ever made! Do someone know where they are from?

[GeekWithAmbition]

they are from jacksonville, Florida in USA :)

[jaydub2971]

One might suspect it's one of the reasons they were able to do a cover of a Skynyrd classic, since they both hail from the same city.

[GBeret83]

@jaydub2971, I'd say that's a huge reason. I don't think Skynyrd would let just any band cover one of, if not the greatest song that they ever recorded. IMO.

[desotowheeler]

@GeekWithAmbition im from arcadia florida



[albatros163]

they sucks very much

[TheBrink101]

@GeekWithAmbition one of thems from south carolina ....

[jaydub2971]

@GeekWithAmbition Same as Lynyrd Skynyrd. :)

[79rockstar]

@DUCKERMOUNTIN this song is made by ronnie van zant (lynyrd skynyrd) not by shinedown,is a cover,a nice cover but a cover...you can listen the original song on the album pronunced len-nerd skin-nerd of lynyrd skynyrd

[whole27]

@DUCKERMOUNTIN Sinedown is from Afghanistan....they grew up in a small cave over there....

[DrewMuzzo47]

@DUCKERMOUNTIN The Drumers British



[DnBphonics]

@DUCKERMOUNTIN the original song was created by lynyrd skynard or however you spell it. They may have even just re-made it from an older band. These songs are really moral filled to be from the 80's and now.

[joeyjordison3333]

OMG YES! love this song. especially the acoustic version in the WAAF studio which i believe this one is.

[biffentoffen]

det här är kärlek !

[kfun87]

This is the way I love to hear this song, one man, his strings, and a soulful voice. Great job!!!

[heavygod]
