their crap? lmao at that.

Have you even thought of the lyrics in 45 and burning bright? Those are beautiful songs and brent smith is a great vocalist. i mean, i don't like all their stuff, but they got some awesome stuff as far as alternative/grunge goes. I wouldn't say they suck no matter what.

well, i guess they have meanings, but i'm not so much into the lyrical aspects of songs. for me, it's the song itself, the instrumental parts and melody etc is what i look for in music, and shinedown just doesn't do it for me.

and believe me, i've heard plenty of them, philly stations play them constantly

i feel the same way with alot of music. But these guys are actually well respected so i hate to hear people say they suck.

What do you mean instrumental parts though, like guitar?

yeah, guitar, bass, and the like. good melodies/harmonies in the singing too

but you know well respected doesn't always mean they're the most talented. there's plenty of unknown groups with alot of talent and stuff.

definitely. Mainstream is mostly so generic and untalented i'm surprised they even get fans.

I think it is brents voice that gets them respect, because he has a powerful voice.

I'm all about the guitar myself. I hate crappy boring riffs for the most part. Gotta have solos too.

yeah, plus if the band mixes it up with song structures and such, that's like sex to me

I saw Shinedown at the a couple months back just before their guitarist left, and they sounded great. Brent Smiths voice is just as good live as it is on record. However as fas as a performance it was alright. Not the best stage presence and the lights gave some chick a seizure. Overall it was a decent show.

Remind me of Nickelback meets Hinder tbh
