  • SHINEDOWN SUCKS!!!!!!!

  • Fucking amazing performance.

  • awesome. i love this song

  • this is a KICK ASS song and dvd

  • look guys settle down and enjoy the best song shinedown has put out!!!!

  • They didn't put it out lol, they stole it from Lynyrd Skynyrd!

  • I've seen Shinedown like 4 or 5 time. They were the Opening Band for some1 else. I've always enjoyed there music. I said to my several ppl that " when they ( Shinedown ) becomes a " Head Liner " then I'm going to Pay to c them. I had the pleasure to c them as a Head Liner now and what can I say.... WOW what a Band. That song has always been 1 of my Favorites and they do it Justice. from the " Studio " version to the " Live " version.... It's All Good..... KUDOS to them for the Song!!!!!!

  • ive never realy liked shine down before but offt that was good

  • that's why they only get 824K views!

  • XD So what I listen to rap?? Doesn't mean I know any less about music you silly person, Shinedown did an Alright song, but the voice isn't not Simple as it was originally made, and doing the song in a simple way would have paid EVEN MORE RESPECT than trying to scream for him, plus they brutalized the guitaring and turned it into a baby form lol! I was RAISED on Indian values and raised an intellectual, yes may listen to rap but that doesn't mean that I know any less about music!

  • what your saying about just because your listening to rap doesent mean you know less about music is true however i completely disasgree with you when you say they brutalized they did the song a lot of justice

  • Lol well no Brutalized, I just don't think they gave it the Justice the song was meant to have, which was Simple Voice and Simple all together, Why is he forcing so much out?? That's not what this song truly was about, and if you want to call someone a Simple Man like D.D. then maybe you should sing the song Simply as well it would let us know that he truly was Simple, plus if he really was that's how he would have wanted the song to be sung!

  • i understand what your saying and it is a valid point. but making a cover is part their song and putting your own spin on it.

  • best live performance i have seen live by a band of this genre

    he has a very strong voice

  • I agree this version is about the same as Lynyrd Skynyrd's version. They are both great. This is a great song

  • actually the hamering and walks on the guitaring is a lot different than the original and I personally feel that that sucks, plus the song is called Simple Man, why's he putting so much force into it? He's cool but yells a tad bit too much!

  • you are insane, brent smith probably sings with the most talent, soul, purity and conviction than anyone out there. This is an amazing cover and shinedown is an amazing band.

  • yells a tad bit too much?

    Wow, you sir FAIL. You do understand this is being played in rememberance of Brent/the bands close friend Dimebag Darell?

    Excuse him for not being "simple" enough... that's called passion, pain, and every single other emotion that you feel when you lose a close friend and remember them through music.

    I speak from personal experience, and can say its hard to sound perfect when you're choking back tears.

    Way to not get the point of emotional music... idiot.

  • I second this. Shinedown is where its at, guys.

  • ha ha you stupid prick, he started fgasping for air while he was singing, THAT' NOT EMOTION, OR REA MUSIC! and Dimebag Darrell was a member of the band Pantera stupid fuck ha ha, not shinedown!

  • I know what fucking bands D.D. was a part of. And as a matter of fact, DAMAGE PLAN toured with Shinedown more than once. Nice try.

    As for him gasping for air...HE'S TRYING NOT TO CRY, tell me thats not emotion. Oh wait you're a RAP FAN...HAHAHA "any cred" you have is GONE.

    Dont get me wrong, some rap is REALY good but seriously dude? HAHAHAHA THATS A TROLL ENDING FAIL AT ITS FINEST.

  • Ya know, it's rare to find a man, who when singing live, sounds better than he does afted being "fixed up" in the studio. The best vocalist to come around in a while. Proof that not all new bands sucks... but most do. Haha.

  • love this song, i agree with chris, you can't put this above skynyrd's version, maybe level field

  • WHY DON'T THEY PLAY THIS LIVE ANYMORE?

  • they might not play it anymore because shinedown ruined themselves bad by removing half the band and replacing it with two people that are really sucky and their guitar sounds digital and sucks i hope someday they will bring the original members back because new shinedown honestly is so fake

  • @ Kawasakikfx33 - You fail on so many levels.

  • yea and how do i fail on so many levels douchebag

  • RIP Dime...

  • oh...i love this at 7:00! i love when Brint tuch the hand of fans!

  • this song is so much better than the lynyrd skynyrd version good shitt shinedown!

  • NOT HARDLY BUD

  • lol that guy has no zero common sense!

  • it's good. but false, you can't say skynyrd's version isn't as good.

  • This is the best song ever made. This is a pretty good version but it dosent quite beat the lynyrd skynyrd version

  • DIME

    REST IN PEACE

  • je ne comprend pas vraiment l'anglais..j'aimerais savoir ce qu'il dit juste avant de commencer la chanson svp...merci. I don't very understand english...I would like to know what Brent says before the song. Thank you

  • Everytime I watch this video the intro he does gives me chills...love this version

  • This was very touching! Dimebag Forever!

  • My mistake he is married to ronnies daughter melody not lacy thats his fathers name

  • "And we called him our friend"

    RIP Dime!

    We love you man.

  • i love this version of the song..it makes me badass goosebumps^^

  • I love this version its so good. I just wish they had included one of the guitar solos or came up with one of their own.

  • wow

  • This version of the song is amazing. Gave me chills. His voice is gregat on this song, but the Burning Bright from the same show wasnt great. this really impressed me though. Good job guys

  • absolutely beautiful. 9 minutes that changed my life!

  • gotta also give it up to ronnie vanzant great song writer and the lead singer for shinedown is married to lacy vanzant which is ronnies daughter

  • Where did you find that out?

  • I have this memorized verbatim.. I even got the timing down... I have listened to it way too much.

  • Perfect! this is the kind of stuff different then any other kind of music! were all men/woman going thru the same kind of stuff trying to better ourselves! from a broken home or not, what shinedown did is what ROCK needs! much love to all peole that can appreciate great music for what its truly worth! R.I.P. Pantera. please everybody listening to this song please just try and be somebody! do it for yourself. carry and represent METAL to the fullest!

  • Perfect! this is the kind of stuff different then any other kind of music! were all men going thru the same kind of stuff trying to better ourselves! from a broken home or not, what shinedown did is what ROCK needs! much love to all peole that can appreciate great music for what its truly worth!

  • and......we called him our friend....this is for u dimebag!!!!

  • That guy is an exceptionally good singer, I'm surprised. But at 7.20 it does sound like he has some pretty strong auto-tuner going on his voice.

  • Its pretty tough to do auto tuning live unless you're using a backing track which there is no way in hell they used it here.

  • Are you serious? Just about every popular rock band or hip hop act does it live. Its as simple as setting up a unit on the rack or the sound board and setting the parameters so its subtle. They're not flawless but they do cover up a lot of rough singing.

    Check out clips of Beijing olympics opening ceremony - you can hear the auto tune on the singers voices straight away. Kinda similar to the sound Rihanna gets or a lesser version of T-Pain.

    This band sounds good regardless.

  • The singer at the olympics doing their national anthem was lip syncing.  The chinese admitted it. I'm not saying its not possible just saying its improbable that they used it here.

  • why the fuck would you listen to the Chinese? i saw them live and theres no way in hell he wasnt singing. he spoke between songs and everything, its impossible that he ISN'T singing in this or any other show. when i saw them he sounded equally as amazing live so i know this is legit.

  • Hey smart ass, you should probably read the comments prior to mine. If you'd actually read something you'd know that we were talking about Auto-tuning and you'd know that I was saying that it was highly improbable that they used auto tuning here.

  • Yea ignore that ignorant dude. Anyway, i know some of the Olympics singing was lip-synced but certain parts weren't e.g. Kantonese opera and you can hear the auto-tune.

    I'm guessing Shinedown is using a very very small amount of auto-tune (almost everyone does) and it was just unfortunate that when he was belting those notes towards the end, the auto-tuner disagreed with him slightly.

    I could of course be wrong, and I don't want to argue, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a little bit.

  • Ronnie and Dime would be proud.

  • FUCKING beautiful! RIP dimebag 4 years today! we fucking miss you man!

  • Shit, what happened to the frame rate?

  • That speech almost made me cry... Wonderful song... just wonderful...

  • have some respect u uninformed techno bunny, you have no idea how hard it was not to swear then, dimebag obviously touched so many lives and to hear an upcoming musician almost bring himself to tears talking of him before dedicating this song to the memory of dimebag has brought me to tears and fuck you if you think that's gay, you can go back to your 'my chemical romance' and die a very quiet death with no one around, but learn respect before you do for the good of us all

  • So fucking sad what happened to Dimebag. I hope you shitface who shot Darrel that you burn in hell and never rest in peace.

  • I suggested these guys cover this song. The rest is history.

  • Can't say I knew who these dudes were before I saw this. I figured just some other long hairs covering Skynard....

    But I goota say they are alright. I'm gonna check out some more of their stuff now.

  • Haha yea there AWSOME!

  • i watch this video prob like once a week and still gives me goose bumps awesome...

  • RIP DIMEBAG YOU ARE MY GOD

  • phenominal

  • This is only one of two remakes in history that can stand on its own.

  • That cat is freakin great!!...I've watched this many times...I'll take it over the original...ok, you can pile on now :)

  • fuckin amazing just amazing nothing else comes to mind

  • what dvd is this dude?

  • Live From the Inside

  • rest in peace Dime! gettcha pull!

    X

  • well said my friend. more like breath taking. ha ha.

  • amazing

  • RIP Dime.

  • chea

  • Wow, I never thought such a song could bring peace to me, thanks to Shinedown I realize that life is about becoming known, but about becoming who you really wanna be.

    I seriously shedded a tear, beautiful performance...

  • I have a lot of respect for shinedown. They are one of the few bands that took time away from touring to visit troops in Iraq. So many celebrities are against the war. I have no problem with that, I'm against the war and I was in the military. But a lot of celebrities use that excuse to avoid supporting the troops.

    Shinedown you earned yourself a fan for life.

  • brent is amazing,s hinedown kicks-ass haha

    i fucking love this version they sing

    i mean the original is the best, but i like this one a lil more thou.......ha, great performance....beautiful

    lol =P

  • RIP Dime, this is an awesome cover!!

  • this song is so amazing and the emotion in that room is like wow. me an my band did a cover if this its so fun and amazing !!

  • shinedown always send an emotional shiver down my spine i was lucky myself to meet dimebag and he was such a kind hearted man

  • R.I.P dimebag!

  • this has to be the best band out their, shinedown does the best live show

  • Agreed, sad days:>( However it is that "someone up above" that makes the days brighter. For that I am grateful. Thank you for your kind thoughts. "Follow your heart & nothing else."Peace be with you.

  • Tears reflect the passion in your soul, this is a great gift. Be grateful there are lyrics like Simple Man to bring us back to the things that really matter.

    Love & understanding is in your soul. Keep it alive and pass it on to your sons as I did.

    Enjoy this day in your life as it is very special gift and not everyone received this gift today, but you did. So be a "Simple Man" and life will be good.

    Peace be with you & thank you for your heartfelt comment.

  • RIP Dimebag! RIP!

  • shinedown just brings so much feeling to this song then lynyrd skynyrd does

    i love it

  • Wow, seriously? Do you seriously waste your life just to get on youtube and post horrible-spelled comments about something you hate? Wooow! Get a life.

  • Great voice.This song brings me a wave of feelings...

  • If the band don't last, that voice will!

  • I fricken LUV this song!!!!

  • RIP DIMEBAG, What a sick song.

  • chilling..

  • My Son died Christmas Eve 2001 and this song was played at his memorial. The intro dedicated to Dimebag reminds me of the tribute to my Son, Lincoln Peter Leland Maynard. Tomorrow is LP's Birthday and I dedicate this song to him today... Miss & Love you Son. RIP

  • may he rest in peace

    onelove.

  • RIP Lincoln. Sad to read this man :(

  • My heart goes out to you for your loss. With Christmas just around the corner and his Birthday being today you must be in a lot of pain.LP will watch over you and your family and help you get past the hard times.

    Happy Birthday LP and God Bless your family.

  • LP would be grateful for your kind words, just as I am, thank you. He is ROCKIN heaven as we speak. His guitars are a constant reminder of what a great musician he was. His music is still alive in his brothers productions on I-tunes.

    We are all just visiting this planet, so make it a good trip. Love the ones you're with, forgive the ones you can and hold the others in your heart. This is just a stop along the way, so enjoy it while you can. Peace be with you.

  • i'm sure your son is very proud of his dad, keep him alive...remember him as you do, keep your head up man! :) better days.

  • Allthough this cover IS NOT better than the original, it is still a great tribute to DIMEBAG. Wery few singer can put so much emotion to a song...

    RIP-DIMEBAG!

  • essa é a musica da minha vida (L)

  • People have to realize that this is one of the greatest bands of our time.

  • ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!

  • Saw them live about two months ago, and it was an amazing concert, little disappointing when they didn't play this song though, but Shinedown was AMAZING!!!

  • can't get enough of this song...

  • love it ............ cant stop hearin

  • The only person that can even come close to Ronnie!! Not as good as the original but the best you'll ever see other than the original!

  • love this song i wish they had some of their new stuff live on dvd like call me, breaking inside, or what a shame.

    619

  • this is one of those epic songs that is played best acoustically

  • mlowe1191, you can go fuck yourself, faggot.

  • Yeah, So all I have to say is. That I have the utmost respect for shinedown. Their music has so much heart and meaning put into it, that it's unreal. But on another note, The person that postedt his couldn't have recorded this.. I mean come on... What r u, like a professional camera man... Where was you setting, in a skybox roamer?? Seriously... There was like side angels and all kinds of shit in that video that couldn't be accomplished from even the front row.. Don't act like this is yours..

  • ui can see the bottom right its copyrigted

  • 1:41

    raw emotion

    i love this video

  • Intro nearly made me cry, what guitari is the guitarist using?

  • I had to sign up just to post this... we new dime, back when they started out in texas(Phil is a dickhead, but the man has a helluva voice.)dime was like family, and im so saddened that this shit happenned. its one of the most tragic things in music history, and he will be kept alive.he was the man.anyone who disses this shit needs to shut the fuck up. i want to meet the guys from shinedown, and shake evry one of their hands. they had more respect for dime than most of people have for thier moms

  • i have no idea who you are my friend but you have my utmost respect and this is one hell of a performance dedicated to one hell of a man R.I.P the one and only Dimebag Darrell gone but not forgotten!

  • i seriously watch this everyday, its addicting! this should be broadcast all over the world! forreal

  • There are only two things that I have to say. Intending no offense maybe three things. To blessedbeone you are correct the fact that he almost cried shows what an impact dimes (R.I.P)

    music and life had on so many others. secondly he has an amazing voice truly and if there is someone who can trump Skynyrd its these guys. and third to whoever dissed this your just pissed cause this guy can point at a chick and get more pussy than you would have seen in the crowd at the show. and yes blessed be

  • Someone needs to tell the crowd to shut their drunken faces for a few seconds when he talks!

  • dude its a concert. That what you're supposed to do. Yeah let's all just be quiet when our favorite bands are on stage...

  • i love this song so damn much and he puts a part of himself in to it witch makes it rock i wish you all the best of luck and hope i get to met this guy some day id like to shake his hand for being so careing himself rock on blessed be

  • someone's a dumb ass, they can't spell SKYNYRD right. it ain't skynard

  • ahhh this is sweet

  • i dont understand what he did wrong, his voice is very typical to all those southern rock bands these days ,he wasnt off key, i doubt he was using auto tune either.

  • That guys sings.

  • no crap dumbshit...........kick ass voice though

  • lol. definately. btw, your name is an awesome song.

  • yeah.....atreyu kicks ass! and so does shinedown.....but atreyus new stuff is disapointing.....their old was soooooooooo much better

  • ShineDown Burned Deftones On this ONe! And I'm a big deftone fan So Big Ups To this band going to check out the original stuff fm them! R. I. P. DIME BAG. PEACE BROTHER

  • man, please don't tell me you think deftones did this originally. They're version isn't even very good. Shinedown rocks.

  • When first came out shit I had a hard time listening there albums over and over. Cause they are that damn good. Saw these with rob zombie and godsmack these guy awesome live. ROCK ON FOREVER

  • These are f-cking awesome.

  • the most powerfull voice I have heard in rock

  • His voice dumbfounds me..

  • What a great song!!!

    Thanks for the upload!

  • What a great song!!!

    Thanks for the upload!

  • this song was written from the heart thats all that matters

  • Yeah man..but you know, this one is a cover^^

    Simple man is written by Lynyrd Skynyrd:P

    But in fact, this is a great video! THX

  • Astonishing the person he dedicated the song to is astonishing too and Lynard Skynard also :)

  • they did the song justice but no one will ever be able to do this better than skynyrd... real standup move dedicating this to dimebag R.I.P Dime you rocked us all and i hope your up there with hendrix and the rest of the few individuals like you

  • I think they did it better tan LS. More passion and emotion in this song which imho makes it way better.

  • Nobody can ever top Skynard.

  • shinedown can. wooo

  • It's all a matter of personal tastes. I perefer this version. That's what makes this world so good. We don't all have to like the same things.

  • Fuckin awasome !
