[monicaduggins]

Like the band, love the song; but I'm a little disheartened by his vocal range here.

[jackespozito]

[dancequeenXkivi1776]

38 people are tone deaf & don't understand this song at all<3

[laridget]

sooo, my uncle Guod had this friend that had shot himself in the head. well at the funeral one of his friends came late and his phone rings well his ringtone just so happened to be this song. they ask him to leave and he did. messed up right. I <3 this song though

[ssjChubbs]

I just had sex with sound.

[XxHizzyxX]

@ssjChubbs sound just had sex with me...actually, i got raped T-T

[TheSanjaya1976]

those managers knew they struck gold with this song

[xGaaraObsesser]

this gives me goosebumps, hes so amazing

[AndrewDoinyourmom]

I went to the same highschool their drummer did.

They come here to Panama City every six months; I haven't missed a single show since I was 14. I'm 20 now. They're so fucking unreal on their first album.

[SwFlSteve]

I wish we could get better audio quality on some of these amazing recordings

[mizsuziq]

love this song!! everytime i hear it i cry, because my bestfriends brother shot n killed himself. n i think of him, but the song kinda helps also 2 maybe help understand y he done it.

[SpaceshipzTV]

Amazing!

[paulak10]

he can hit all the high notes, live or not, brents voice is fucking awesome, if you think its not, you have fucking brain damage!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pyromancer32087]

vocal epicness !!!!!!!!

[MrSocrates513]

I was there!!! It was awesome. Thanks for the post

[HUArmyTillTheDayIDie]

i dont get how thats even possible..

[dangeldragon]

AMAZING!

[airshotsphotoco]

Looks like the Geico caveman.

[kalashnikov47mf]

Jason Todd on the guitar,ive got a few of his autographs, i got to hang out wit jason one weekend,he is in fuel now and shinedown sucks since he left

[hunterhart1990]

finally a 21st century singer that doesnt have to be enhanced by autotune to sound good.. 

[pugggs]

@hunterhart1990 ha... funny. notice how he doesn't go for any of the high notes in this song that you hear in the album version? because it is auto tuned. he can't normally hit that hight note.

[AssInTheKitchenHo911]

@pugggs @pupdog114 wrong. Seen his live show in NYC in 2007, it was him and Jason and a couple of mics, he hit them next to flawlessly. Quit hatin

[ragincajun2288]

@AssInTheKitchenHo911 Same, I've heard him hit the high notes live as well with very simple equipment. It's actually the simple equipment that makes him sound like he's not hitting the notes, as a trained vocalist I assure you he is, but the distortion on this vid sucks too.

[CheckOutMyNixon]

@pugggs He can hit all the notes he does on the albums. He just switches them up every time live for different effects. I wouldn't wanna hear someone sing the same song the exact same way over and over again everytime cuz then it gets boring. Don't hate on Brent.

[rockerboi08]

@pugggs aha ur a fuckin idiot bro this is just one video, trust me brent smith can sing his ass off in or out of the studio and none of their stuff is auto tuned just sayin

[xxplayguitarxx]

@pugggs I think you need to look up what auto tune is, and what do you mean he can't hit high notes? (2:57-3:00, and basically the WHOLE SONG) I'm going to file your comment in the "Fat, lonely, troll in the basement that has no talent, that lashes out online because everyone else is better than him" file.

[cadco1996]

@pugggs Cool thing about performing your own music as a musician is that you can change the notes up to make it entertaining... :/

[ras29298]

jesus christ

[QATARY911]

strong high clear wonderful voice

[barrypengelly]

buddy has a set of fuckin' pipes on him, fuckin'g eh :)

[blackbulltrance]

how can you not like this?

im gonna hope to god that they were so emotionally touched by his pure talent that they couldnt see through the tears and wrongfully hit the dislike button.

if not well i got a tactical acp xd series .45 with a itchy combat oriented trigger finger behind it:)

[06badrob]

great campfire song

[06badrob]

raw emotion

[navarro1latina]

@ bolleh totally agree! :)

[Bolleh]

What a fucking legend.

[ddubshibby1]

my singer from my side band sounds just like him its fucking crazy

[prosser369258]

unreal vocals

[Booz0r]

@prosser369258 retarded much? Seriously

[prosser369258]

@Booz0r clearly you know little about music. brent has one of the widest vocal ranges in music

[Booz0r]

@prosser369258 i do, but still don't know why it wouldn't be unreal? He is awesome the best

[ItsJustMarissaxo]

<3 i love it!

[bgpjr1989]

he doesn't sound like this anymore =/ he wore his voice out playing way to many shows. But i read he got a vocal coach to learn to sing the right way so his voice will remain playing in our ears for years and years to come. Brent is an amazing singer.

[spidertroy4]

@bgpjr1989 have you picked up the new DVD by them? I like how he sounds there.

[SaiTekifiCatioN]

oh, my, god!

[rvbsmcaboose]

wish i had his voice i would sing none stop

[eDme]

@rvbsmcaboose You can say that again.

[myrinneXD]

he have the most wonderful voice!!!! <3

[s1a2r3a4ify]

Shniedown is one of the few bands that sound great live.

[powerstroketexas]

acoustic rock is so cool

[xxbl00dyvengenc]

By the way I just wanted to let everyone know that I am gay for Brent Smith's voice.

[lazyramadi]

@xxbl00dyvengenc i think we all are...

[EontheCobra52]

@xxbl00dyvengenc no kidding man! lol i think all men are

[dave1927p]

@xxbl00dyvengenc i just want it to be my own...

[generalpatton272]

Wha? Really? People think this is good?. I love raw performances, but this guy sucks...

[thetexasliberal]

@generalpatton272 I think u need to learn what good music is son...lol

[noleafclover180]

@generalpatton272 You clearly know nothing about music or talent if you think this guy sucks

[xxbl00dyvengenc]

Idk why but for me it seems singers really show their potential in acoustic songs. Just about every song that has an acoustic version by any band I like the acoustic version more. There's just so much more emotion and almost "talent" I wanna say but that's not it. But It's always amazing. Anyways that's my 2 cents.

[rust2k5]

@xxbl00dyvengenc

I know what you mean. It's like there is more feeling put into an unplugged version of a song.

[coryu711]

goosebumps.....such an incredible vocalist

[JonathansGurl91]

Brent has the most powerful voice I have ever heard!!!!

[tubros7]

undeniable talent is undeniable.



[KennyKnoxify]

i love that unique little vibrato type thig he does with his voice in the verses. it makes the song sound so sad.

[itsbailey98]

omg once u know the story u will never think of this song the some the cousin explained my best friend soo much and i just got teary eyed at the concert because i dont want him to ever try to kill himself idk what i would do thenm

[erikc333]

Besides Breaking Benjamin, he is the best acoustic!

[Toop23]

@erikc333 breaking benjamin? lol good band but has nothing on shinedown. different league of vocals. Brent smith smashes that band alone anyday. have a nice day

[LexiDiva75]

Heartbreaking....in a good way!

[michaelsloan1]

Amazing!

[BLACKMONEYSOAD]

Gr8.... 

[IcyqueenbR]

There's a reason why I love this band....

[legatotechniques]

perfect

[skintoaster]

@ratrod69ify actually, guy has a strong point, brent has completely changed lately , and he solicits to an entirely diffrent audience these days and its enough to piss alot of people off, and for good reason to, in my opinion hes done nothing but go down hill lately, the make up is fine if thats what he likes as is the dancing, but i mean fuck he dont even sing half his songs no more in concerts its all lip synching, and not 2 mention those 2 horrible fucking backup singers, thats lame as hell

[Toop23]

@skintoaster ur an idiot, i hope u know that. Ive been front row 3 times at a shinedown concert and theres not a chance in hell he was lip synching. I'll admit he changes some high notes bc it is too much on his voice day in and day out. he is human and he does not lip sync u doucher. have a nice day

[skintoaster]

@Toop23 ok so maybe not lip synch but he does sing a handful of their every night songs with a backup track, which is fail in my opinion, if you cant do it acoustically it should never get recorded same goes by songs that you know your going to have to sing every night if you cant do it, dont recordem

[mullesen1]

@skintoaster If you give youre very best every night in 1 ½ hour then im sure that you would feel bad in youre trhoat aftervards. Specially when its rock.

[pupdog114]

@skintoaster i feel bad for you bro not knowing what real musci sounds like maybe youve been listening to justin bieber to long step into the light not every singer lip syncs

[skintoaster]

@Anderssonproductions ummmm....then what?

[SilencedMannequin]

Amazing <3

[edgarcia4]

i think if it had been a .357 it wouldve been waaay cooler. but that's just me.

[apheus27]

Shinedown could produce an album based solely on their acoustic performances.

[narutoguy03]

@apheus27 Actually, anybody can. But I think that there are only a few bands that can do a great job of it like Shinedown can.

[apheus27]

@narutoguy03 Many bands do produce a acoustic albums, some much better than others. I think one of Shinedowns' greatest assets is their acoustic performances, and they could really go a long ways with that.

[narutoguy03]

@apheus27 Oh yes, easily. And Brent's voice just tops it all off.

[djlunacee]

great rendition, the sanford sessions were much better, however.

[ssweb37]

I live in Cincinnati, and it's a shame that 97.3 isn't a rock station anymore. I'm not sure whatever happened to it.

[Incurred]

Great! Thanks for adding this !!!!!!!!!

[TheSMADRID]

Very Beautiful song... and voice...

[jAllen2292]

they're feelin it at the 3 35 mark he stands up jason todd looks at him like damn your killin it they look like they're about to explode they need to bring jason todd back watch him on better version(from the inside) and simple man (live)

[VisnjaVallo]

perfect <3

[andyisthebestest]

immense

[itachiisnotemo]

1982 are holding the .45

[xisderocks]

THE MOST PERFECT PERFORMANCE EVER

[Jeckelism]

great voice , but the problem is media ate him up and now he dances on stage with makeup like a fucking faggot wish he would go back to his roots like he is here on an empty stage with a semi filled room with TRUE music enthusiasts

[eDme]

Wonderful! THank you!

[MrOzwald420]

love this song and performance, such great emotion in these lyrics and the way he sings it

[uareallsheep024]

Love how he says 'thats right' right right at the end. Like ya i'm just that good

[ParasectFTW]

Trust me, they sound EVEN better when you're actually viewing them live. I did, and my skull caved in from epicness.

[dave054]

Amazing song and emotion put into it. I don't think it will ever get old for me. Especially now that I play guitar and truly appreciate what it takes to make music. As for people not liking it I recommend you take a singing or guitar lesson and stick with it and maybe then will you truly appreciate the perfections as well as imperfections of any song. Give it a try, some of you will thank me. Some might not. :)

[xSirEdwinx]

@dave054 Totally agreed. I just started playing and this is the first song my room mate chose to teach me.

[gigglingtwinkletoes]

wow!



[TheWickedGibson]

The only thing I don't like about Shinedown is that their music is so hard to sing that even the lead singer doesn't sing all of the high notes live! He does it once for the CD and stops after that. The end of this performance he picks it up a bit, but doesn't even attempt the notes from the CD in concert.

[gggggg99]

@TheWickedGibson 110 % effort into that song. No ones cares what you can't do in your shower. lol

[DajunkmanDdD]

@TheWickedGibson That's what makes it worth seeing a band live! Why would you want to see a band live if they sound the same? That's why I don't like scene music because they can't sing without auto-tune and lip-synching! lol. Don't you agree bro?

[DreamingIsBliss]

The expression in his voice, it's amazing. This song hits you right where it matters.

[MrAirsoftfreak1]

I liked simple man better

[Pghpunkid]
