i just heared a couple of songs of them ´´heroes, save me and burning bright´´ i think their music is good, alt rock vibe and his vocalist sings too similar to chris cornell...

what you think about them?

    shinedown are a very good band. their first album, leave a whisper was fucking amazing. their follow up us and them was very dissapointing, but had some good songs on it. they tried to much to sound like audioslave on their second. if you havent got leave a whisper, i recommend that u purchase it. its a very powerful, forceful, tuneful hard rock/metal album
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    I have seen them live 5 times, and the smaller venue shows are really good. The band really has a soul.

    From what I've heard of them, they don't sound any different than the rest of the bands in that "alt" radio-rock genre that ClearChannel plays to death. As a result, I don't have any interest in any of their albums.

    i like shinedown...i own both of their albums and i enjoy them quite a bit. whoever says that their singer does not have a good voice is very wrong .

    what makes a band legit?

    They had a good cover of Simple Man but the rest is pretty shitty

    a band that can put out a good album from beginning to end and can put on a great live show, which they do,....not sound like anything else at the present moment and not just catering to the mainstream, which at the time they sounded like no one.... as a matter of fact they sound better live than on cd and you can tell they love what they do and have passion for the music...they are also down to earth guys if you ever get a chance to meet them....IMO its hard to knock what these guys do

    as for simple man, yeah it was a good cover but wasnt originally on Leave a Whisper when it first came out and was overplayed.... you cant base this band off that cover when they were good before that was ever released

    pjalive21, you just couldn't have said it better! I've seen them Shinedown live, and they are probably my biggest guilty pleasure.. music wise, at least.

    They have some really good songs, some of them sound like all the other grungey bands around, but a fair few of their songs wouldn't have sounded out of place in the early 90's. And Brent Smith is head and shoulders above all the other nu-grunge vocalists out there, kind of like Chris Cornell meets James Hetfield.

    can anyone give me any info on this band? I am a little late but starting to really enjoy what I hear from them.

    They have a website? what's their history? where are they from?

    thanx!

    they would make for a good junior high talent show cover band back in the 90s maybe. too late for that though so i guess they're out of luck

    Yeah, they are pretty horrid. Shinedown, Hinder, Buckcherry, etc. etc. aren't all these bands just the same? Shinedown is like 2006's version of Default.

    Buckcherry sound ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like Shinedown. I don't think anyone is under the impression Shinedown are original sounding, BUT for what they do, they do it a hell of a lot better than most of their contemporaries.
