Shinedown interview - Brent Smith (part 1)

[@heidibaltom8138]

Its interesting watching this. Look at him now. Hes so confident hes got his life together and his voice is still as good maybe better. Just a lovely bloke really.

[@92CherryBomb]

What he's saying about believing it when he hears someone sing I feel that and see it in his eyes when he sings Save me. That song hits me somewhere deep and you can tell he feels what hes singing.

[@stephanierauba4887]

Brent is such a phenomenal human being. I’m so proud of him. He loves music the way I love medicine, Shinedown is so much more than a band!

[@GnrlDisarray0]

Brent is amazing, one of the best singers I've ever heard. To me, he is right up there with Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury. His voice just gives me chills every time. If I could sing like he does, I would never talk again, I'd just sing everything I said.

[@steve188166]

Legend. There is nothing wrong with liking rap. I love rock, and i love rap and hip hop. I also love jazz, reggae, dubstep, metal, death metal, country etc. Just because you like one music genre doesn't you can't admire others.

[@bmljster1]

True artist in all respects....and such a real person!

[@laurali12]

"I wanna believe you when you sing it to me" - couldn't describe it better, exactly what I think or feel when I listen to bands and singers. And so cool that he searches that in music cause he is actually someone that I believe; every single word. His lyrics are always so meaningful and honest. Brent is one of not so many artists that impress me on so many levels. 💖 Such a brilliant voice, so down to earth, patient, kind. He cares about his fans, wants them to feel welcomed and loved & he always gives his best on stage! Shinedown never disappoint 😈👏

[@diviningoildesigns]

No wonder I love this man. He has some amazing taste in music. Hello! Soul? Otis Redding? He's only like one of the best soul singers. Sam Cooke? Yes!! No wonder I love this person dearly. He sings from his guts and is a true music lover. If you haven't seen Shinedown...you must. Put it on your bucket list. You won't regret it. Brent will motivate, inspire you and you will leave the concert a different person. Favorite Rock band hands down!

[@LyssaAnn91]

Just love listening to this! He is just such a great person. He is so believable.

[@deniseblackwell1464]

He's just a good old boy, lol.. I freaking love Brent Smith, very punctual..

[@bethburns3610]

Denise Blackwell Me too. :)

[@anaistasiajeffers8192]

My dream is to meet Brent Smith and the rest of shinedown, shinedown is like the only band that has songs that make sense and I love shinedown people say it's a phase but I say it's my reality

[@theladyoftheinvisibleempire]

I could listen to him speak or sing all day😛😚

[@copp214]

Diana Prince, we are in agreement. 💘 that voice.

[@kyliesawyer1240]

I have the same birthday as Brent Smith.

[@copp214]

Why do people make it sound like something is wrong with his speaking voice? He sounds normal. And his look 😍 👌 His taste in music is not stagnant. So many of the bands he mentioned, such as Bon Jovi, are my favorite bands. Brent can talk all day, and I would listen. 🎶 to my ears.

[@HailTheQuen1314]

I think some people forget artists like Brent smith are people too, not just voices

[@LemonAfterglow46]

He sounds so different when he's talking to when he sing's, hard to imagine that voice coming form that, not sure i would believe ir if i hadn't seen it myself.

[@fallenshadows8]

true musicians like all different kinds of music

[@katjo71367]

Brent Smith is by and large my all time Favorite artist. Love his voice, I listen to his songs often and have a complete drive list for visiting my eldest child and his family , driving from East Texas to Denver, Co. His songs speak to me about numerous situations and I love the lyrics as well as the music. Keep up the good work! You are amazing and God has plans for your life!

[@laurencrouch3990]

But when he said NWA he stole my heart all over again. It's like me as a dude!! Yessssss

[@Bayougirl78]

Agreed... this band has already shown that they have some staying power... talent, pure and simple... can't wait to see them live again next week!

[@bethburns3610]

Have fun! Rock on!

[@MilkethWay]

"I need to believe it when I hear it." Agreed, Brent Smith. Agreed.

[@AngieRae76]

I've seen these guys in concert and they're AWESOME. I was born in 76 and I ALSO loved the Dukes of Hazzard theme song too and watched that show EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY NIGHT and then of course had to sit and watch Dallas and Falcon Crest with my parents....lmao.

[@RrockCj]

0:11 That nod! Lol All that incredible voice and its 4 octaves range! And he`s still a little humble!

[@bethburns3610]

Rrock Cj Yes. :)

[@aminenhari]

Shinedown is one of the bands that escaladed QUICKLY!!So much respect for you guys

[@diegomazzaron9191]

Brent you are great but I want the old Shinedown again. Please come back Jasin and Brad. ❤️

[@uvaguy81]

I can see this. To me, it seems like they get better with each album.

[@BlacknxHeart]

Brent is are sooo freaking adorable!!!! I totally agree with you when you talked about what you listen for in music =)

[@rockandmetalboss6894]

True! Brent Smith is So Adorable and Sexy! Just Love him!

[@markorollo.]

I'm also a soul fan as well as rock, and other things, my parents were Mods in the UK in the late 60's so it was all Motown and Northern Soul in our house growing up until I discovered the joy of rock music, (something my parents weren't too happy about, their son liking rock n roll, leather and denim, and motorbikes, everything the Mod despised lol) I'm not too keen on Northern Soul but could listen to Tamla/Motown all the time.

[@robertabjork4309]

I love Otis redding, Sound garden, soul music and power singers. I guess that's why I love these guys.

[@lonegrey2425]

I like him,with his good personality

[@z3ro069]

so true steve188. real rap/hip hop harcore! haha shinedown just jumped to my top favs right now along with a7x

[@KaylaJaden1]

[@paulak10]

[@melodesiryashley]

bonjovi! I knew I loved this guy for a reason....lol...

[@aminenhari]

Listen to his song -ENERGY ,his voice is AWESOME!!!

[@aileenmercado22]

I agree with Brent Smith comments music should be realistic. finally someone shares my views!!

[@tracybates7671]

So real.

[@psuengineer84]

That is a good statement, my friend.

[@annavero2622]

1. Omfg brent is awesome and such a inspiration 2. ....is the interviewer dutch..? His accent sounds dutch xD

[@bethburns3610]

Anna Vermolen He probably is.

[@kristenking1443]

i love Brents facial expressions..... it makes it seem like he dont give too craps what the guy is saying lol :)

[@davidcatanus4922]

I was expecting him to mention the nwobhm/thrash metal bands like saxon, iron maiden, judas priest, motorhead, metallica, anthrax, testament, exodus, etc. when talking about 80s metal. Great interview nonetheless!!!! \m/

[@tracyknight2885]

I like BRENT

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Waylon Jennings had that effect on alot of folks. Cool.

[@guitar141144]

Rock on

[@duvlee]

This man is saweet, and talented, and sexy, and deep.... etc!

[@joe78750]

Ya brent keep writing good songs man.I like all the albums even tho jason todd is not the guitar player.

[@Aidan-Moore]

How dare I get an advert about David Guetta!

[@morg405]

" Dukes of Hazard " Hell yeah!!

[@aplpieguy007]

Holy shit we like the same bands

[@robinquevedo4855]

❤❤❤❤❤🐿️

[@hazelannruddick9148]

HELL YEAH, DUKES OF HAZZARD, GOOD OLE BOYS. HE HAS GOOD TASTE!!!

[@teresaheinze7303]

Yes he does! Best show around

[@tinyt781]

i miss old brent... back in leave a whisper and stuff when he had long red hair he looked more like a boss.... and he sang with more soul it seemed like to me. he had more feeling in his singing.

[@GoLDraG0N]

That's what happens when you grow old and overuse your voice in the wrong way, damaging it.

[@theandiller]

Sorry, but I just saw him two times last week and he's a better artist than ever before?! The new style fully suits him, even comforts him. He's got amazing power on stage and he'll never lose his ability to touch the audience when he's doing a speech. If you don't like the new record it's your choice - they went on in their career and wanted to bring in something new. And they absolutely did! If you listen closely, Threat To Survival is another masterpiece, especially lyrically!

[@GoLDraG0N]

AND-Imusic When did I say I don't like him as a vocalist.. I'm just pointing out the clear facts as disappointed as they may be. I love the new album too then again, watch their live show on Jimmy Kimmel I believe where they play state of my head.. I don't think he did such a good job on there..

[@maryhelenbuchele7342]

​@theandiller I love TTS that album was really about Brent. He has admitted in interviews that he slipped up with his addiction and it was bad after touring Amaryllis. He was so bad Zach took him to a clinic to get clean.

[@realthing1000]

He's cool :)

[@DASEckii]

@fallenshadows8 ...except of Electro-Pop or however that genre is called...

[@steve188166]

Also, the fact he is into NWA is even fucking better :L

[@joe78750]

Ottis

[@joe78750]

Ya same bands I like.,,,

[@music4life654]

1:15 STARE INTO HIS SOUL!!! O.O

[@amberconner5811]

I got an advertisement with Justin Bieber in it >:-/

[@chevymalibu83]

Who is this FaceCulture interviewer. How is he asking questions with such broken English to people that articulate so well. It seems painful.

[@tracyknight2885]

💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@sli3nceiskey]

I think Brent had trouble understanding the interviewer...

[@bethburns3610]

My parents don't like this band. Is there anything I can do about this?

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Play them over and over again until they like them. ;)

[@bethburns3610]

SuperStrange Shadow I have tried. They still don't like them. :(

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Haha, stop caring about what they like and don't liket, just continue listening to the bands you love. :)

[@bethburns3610]

SuperStrange Shadow Okay, I'm sorry. Thanks for the advice.

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

No prob. And I was just being humoristic. :)

[@franchescaoak7262]

AHHH, his b day is one week after mine!! Not that any of you care.

[@reneebarber5049]

2¢ 🌠

[@werewolfofthemoon544]

Yeah I wouldn’t do drugs, Brent, Bad Idea!

[@joe78750]

Daisy duke was the best

[@ronaldhamilton352]

This young guy i work with told me was Meatloaf illigimite son...he s full of shit... SHINEDOWN ROCK ...SO CUT THE CORD .KEEP ROCKING

[@Sherman744]

[@johnstumpf8105]

[@MrMashFace]
