THIS WAS EPIC!| FIRST TIME HEARING Shinedown - Sound Of Madness REACTION

[@brentfelsinger4521]

"Fly From the Inside" "Cut the Cord" "Bully" "Monsters" are all other Shinedown bangers! "45" "Call Me" "I Dare You" "The Crow and the Butterfly" are slower, but Brent Smith's voice is still incredible. Shinedown is awesome on recordings and even better live!

[@edwardstonick4898]

Fly from the inside is awesome!!

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

Honestly the entire leave a whisper album is a masterpiece

[@michaelmagness9881]

Don't forget 45

[@bobbywikstrom79]

Call Me might be my favorite

[@jeffreyglenellen1188]

Cut The Cord, yes, my favorite from them

[@danielshea518]

"45", " BULLY", and " CUT THE CORD" are all Shinedown bangers.

[@davidwatson7347]

Cut the chprd for me

[@austinlyons3029]

45 I think jay would really enjoy and Amber as well

[@JoseMorales-nb6nn]

45 is my favorite hit

[@maroonsn95]

45 is just hard to beat, but they just keep on pushing out hits. Symptom of being human that's somewhat new is so good.

[@davidhall6950]

THIS!!! Shinedown has spent the last 20 years singing about mental health. And you should hear them sing Simple Man with Jellyroll. 🤯

[@BogeyDopeYT]

The Crow and the Butterfly is a good Shinedown song.

[@TheAcademizer]

It's softer, which is usually not my style, but IMO it's one of their absolute best. It is probably my favorite of theirs.

[@FafnirsDisciple]

My absolute favorite song by them

[@Bayougirl78]

Beautiful song.

[@chriserickson8821]

one of my favorites and I'm someone who typically listens to older thrash and nu metal.

[@stephanieclark9849]

*'Symptom of being human' is such a great Shinedown song about mental illness that I think everyone can connect to on some level. "Daylight" is another. 'What a shame', 'Call me', second chance', 'Monsters', 'I'll follow you', 'The crow and the butterfly', 'If you only knew', and on and on... they have an amazing playlist.* 🤘🤘🤘

[@DjHouseOG]

So relatable.

[@palmyreatkinson518]

Their song "Monsters" is a great song about people facing their monsters. Shinedown has so many great song can't list them all

[@jamescross5094]

Brent Smith is the lead singer and he said in an interview that if someone hasn’t heard them before and wants to know the first song to hear that describes them as a band then it is The Sound of Madness

[@lynnlafever1810]

So glad you got back to them! Amber will absolutely love "Second Chance"!! It's Rocky for women. But they have many great songs.

[@NJMusicFan24]

Shinedown is one of those bands that no matter which song of theirs you pick, it's going to be great.

[@WingZero172]

In their entire 20 year history, NOT A SINGLE BAD SONG OR ALBUM! 🤘🏻

[@bigwill984]

Shinedown Save Me is a great song. Very powerful

[@donkraemer50]

I saw their story telling acoustic show where they told the story behind this song. Very deep and thought provoking

[@karenlandon5332]

My fave! I’ve seen them live like 6 times. Really good

[@kimleec1071]

Shinedown's "How Did You Love" is the best song ever.

[@xifled63]

One of my faves

[@matthewcall3961]

It’s not even THEIR best song ever.🤨

[@lancesmith1312]

Symptom of Being Human is an epic song by Shinedown - about mental illness and fitting into society. Brent Smith (Singer) and Seth Myers (Guitarist) were destined to make music together. Brent and Seth have a side project called Smith & Myers. If you like Shinedown, take a listen to Glorious Sons (Sawed Off Shotgun) - blow you away.

[@KimPalko]

Guitar players name is Mike Myers but goes by his middle name Zach. I just saw them live for the first time so I did a little research. 😂

[@lawrencejoy2256]

Papa Roach's Leave a Light On is another mental health song...

[@danettebumgarner5701]

Through the Ghost, Second Chance, What A Shame, 45, Get Up, A Symptom of Being Human, Daylight and on and on and on. 20+ years of AWESOME music.

[@Schrimpieman]

"Second Chance" The Struggles and Triumph of choosing one's own path. Hits HARD with me. I made it good. Wish majority of others could do as well. World would be a better place.

[@Andrew-vx8rf]

Through the ghost is fantastic and so is for my sake 😊

[@kenstepp3843]

These guys are absolutely amazing. I have gone to see them in concert in 5 times and they are even better live. Such an amazing group

[@KimPalko]

Saw them in July for my first time. Absolutely loved them!

[@vickimartin6512]

I have seen them 10 times. They kill it!! Can’t wait for my 11th show.

[@billleavitt1408]

Brent Smith could sing the ingredients from a hamburger helper box and I would listen to it. Symptom of Being Human and Call Me are absolutely amazing songs.

[@RobSquadReactions]

😂😂

[@carolgerlt7183]

Brent Smith with Apocalyptica "Not Strong Enough" . They do heavy metal with cellos.

[@GinaFurnash]

Amen the love that song

[@ButterflyDance444]

The entire Sound of Madness album is fire! Give Devour and Second Chance a listen!!! You'll love them!

[@mattmorganRnR]

SHINEDOWN has the record for most # 1’s in the history of the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.

[@AndrewRodenbucher]

I thought Three Days Grace did

[@DjHouseOG]

@@AndrewRodenbucher yeah . Three Days Grace has like 12-14 ... Shinedown has 19 and more if you count other categories

[@DjHouseOG]

100% .... and technically one fewer #1 than the Beatles.. Most Underrated band ever

[@jamiegriffin9866]

Omg..Shinedowns catalog is AMAZING..please get started down that rabbit hole❤❤

[@amyw8423]

OMG! FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this since Simple man. The Shinedown well is deep and Brent has one of the best rock voices. In my opinion 😁

[@shapeach]

Oh my gosh I am so Glad you finally DID THIS!!!

[@Terri6868]

My favorite band. You would love “Cut the Cord”. Brent Smith is the singer. I’ve seen them 9 times. Going again this month. You need to do more Shinedown. 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GiaSesshoumaru]

Attention Attention, Black Soul, Devil, Second Chance, If You Only Knew and Devour are other great songs by Shinedown (in addition to those that have been mentioned already). Great reaction as always!

[@psa727]

Shinedown is my favorite modern rock band. They are incredibly versatile with their music. I'd suggest you also check out: 1. Save Me 2. Second Chance 3. Monsters 4. 45 5. I'll Follow You And they have so many more great song.

[@jillonair]

Shinedown "What a Shame" One of my favorite songs of theirs.

[@brianlewis5022]

Awesome song!

[@jillonair]

@@brianlewis5022beautiful and heartbreaking, all at the same time.

[@terifringer8560]

Always makes me think of my Dad (I called him Poppy) that took his life back in 2009. 💔

[@jillonair]

@@terifringer8560 I'm so, so very sorry for your loss.

[@terifringer8560]

​@@jillonairthank you

[@TheAcademizer]

So I went to college with the brother of Shinedown's original guitarist, Jasin Todd. When they came to town, he got us backstage with them and Seether. It was a mind-blowing concert, and one of the best nights of my college experience. Great guys, good fun, and awesome music.

[@librarylady13]

Try "Get Up" (piano version), "Monsters", "Second Chance", "A Symptom Of Being Human", "State Of My Head" and "Dead Don't Die".

[@CodaJo-Pepe]

SHINEDOWN Second Chance My absolute favorite from them. The video is awesome!

[@chelseahaley8350]

Oh my goodness!!! Shinedown is a rabbithole u can get lost in!! Hope, Daylight (Lyric video), A Symptom of being human, Dysfunction you, Get up, Cut the cord, Bully, 45, Monsters, Call me, Second chance,How did you love, I'll follow you, The crow and the butterfly, Save me, Through the ghost, Atlus fall.....Whew!

[@kevinmcphail3852]

Diamond eyes, 45, devour and bully are bangers from shinedown

[@raymondohlsen5054]

LOVE your head-banging and stank face! This old man is right there with you! First time I've ever heard this before, but it's so cool. Mr. Jay, you are not alone, thank you for sharing.

[@neilmackenzie3693]

Shinedown MONSTERS and 45 are must hear songs

[@sarahfrench6522]

when i worked at the airport last year i escorted them through security and to their gate and they were literally this nicest people i’ve ever assisted!

[@sherrihayward4500]

Finally!!! Love yous yay!! Can you tell I'm excited!!! Lol You will love them. They are a mental health band!!!

[@sebastienlavoie9334]

I love Shinedown, in my most favorite bands, the singer is Brent Smith, he's known for his awesome voice. I hope you guys keep digging the Shinedown rabbit hole. They have many great songs, Second Chance, If You Only Knew, Through The Ghost, Monster, Cut The Cord, Attention Attention, 45, Unity, Amaryllis, Enemies, Miracle, Diamond Eyes, Symptoms Of Being Human and many many more.

[@craigparker9744]

I have been requesting this one for at least 2 years now. I'm pumped

[@victorsapen5389]

Their song "I'm Not Alright" is really good too.

[@sherrihayward4500]

Daylight, crow and butterfly, symptom of being human, devil, 20yrs of music to catch up on!!!

[@jedijohnny]

I grew up with Brent Smith. He has always had a great voice. so underrated

[@pacard33]

He is the best voice in rock today.

[@wendydotson8891]

Seriously! I know he had his troubles with substance abuse when younger but he seems like such an amazing upbeat person now. Was he a good guy when he was a kid too?

[@jedijohnny]

@wendydotson8891 He was the quiet guy in the early years. the drugs did really start for him until high-school. That's when he was always in a band Blind Thought was the first 1. But once he got famous with money the drugs increased. He was always a good dude and close friend of mine. Still takes care of me when he comes into town.

[@wendydotson8891]

@@jedijohnny that’s so awesome. Thanks for sharing. He’s one of my absolute favorite singers. He’s probably my number 2 favorite singer, just under Steven Tyler who is my top singer. I’ve been listening to them since the first album and I’ve seen them live 4 times. I even took my nephew who was 9 at the time to see them. It was his first concert. The thing that I really love about him though is that he always seems to try and build people up and not tear them down. He seems to genuinely care about people.

[@jedijohnny]

@@wendydotson8891 He loves his fans. He sold his house and basically lives on the road and cetain hotels for long periods. His mom and dad still live here in Knoxville.

[@alfavan31]

Shine Down's song Atlas Falls is about banding together during COVID-19 quarantine of 2020 and rising up thru the ashes. The lyrics are so uplifting and still ROCK!!!

[@bamacapt115]

One of the best concerts I've been to. They are a loud band live but they still sound amazing. He's one if my favorite vocalist.

[@DAMHoo]

Ohhhh that’s right go on down that rabbit hole. Tons of good songs from Shinedown to choose from. Brent is a helluva singer

[@alphaviv9208]

Great band! You should check out "Diamond Eyes" and "Cut The Cord".

[@johnwoodworth9127]

Diamond Eyes is such a epic banger

[@lyriasfaves]

The Rabbit Hole is indeed deep for these guys. KEEP GOING! Everything is FIRE!

[@allanunion2709]

Arguably the most powerful singer around at mo. Seen them many times still blow me away, crow an butterfly a must

[@trishafoster8019]

Oh! You HAVE to do "Save Me". Will tear your heart out. In a good way.

[@mattmorganRnR]

Shinedown is A MUST!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🙏

[@samuelpredieri9834]

Shinedown is an all around great band from the hard stuff to mellow stuff and everywhere in between. Please do songs like Save me, Adrenaline, I'll follow you, Call Me, Daylight, Symptom of being human, Black soul, Monster, Bully, Diamond eyes and Amaryllis. All are awesome, promise you won't be disappointed, you'll be pretty amazed at the range of this band.

[@deanjohnson6917]

Monsters is another great song about dealing with life's problems. A must listen

[@lisawillett546]

I'm SO excited you're listening to more Shinedown!! They are my favorite band and they have an absolutely amazing catalogue, some slow songs and a lot of rocking tunes! Please check out others when you can. You won't be disappointed. I promise. ♥

[@nickwheeldon5655]

SHINEDOWN, CUT THE CORD is a must💯🎸

[@FRLplano]

You will love it - - Second Chance - Shinedown !!!! Try that next !!!!!

[@TheHeff76]

You are both beautiful people. I just found your channel recently. I used to play in a Jazz band back in the early 90s in Boston. Just a small jazz band that played at a martini bar. Played Clarinet and Sax. Alto and B flat for both. You guys rock and the smooth jam you guys do listening to the amazing music is contagious.

[@brianlewis5022]

Yess finally some shinedown! Had a meet and greet with this band back in 2010 in Youngstown Ohio, great guys and great music! 👍

[@davidotto3731]

Shinedown has so many good songs. 45 and Burning Bright are amazing

[@csimone73]

Barry is one of the most underrated drummer ever. And the style with which he plays...i could watch him for hours!! They're all so amazing. Probably the best band I've ever seen live. I lost track how many times I've seen them. They never disappoint!!

[@robotto8858]

You need more Shinedown. You've barely scratched the surface. "Call Me" live is just so, well, so many things. Must watch.

[@traog]

I found Shinedown through looking for song covers, found Smyth and Myers first, they are the singer and lead guitar player from Shinedown, since then I've come to really like their originals. A lot of their music touches on mental health issues. "Symptom of being Human", "Monsters", "45" are all great ones. For another artist that does mental health topics really well, look up NF, Nathan Feuerstein, "Mansion" or "Happy" would be my suggestion.

[@timhall1087]

Finally!!! So glad y'all are checking them out again. Monsters, Planet Zero, just so many good songs by Shinedown!

[@jendool1]

Yes!! Been waiting patiently for you guys to do Shinedown again❤️❤️

[@frankieray2873]

You guys need to do their most popular song " Devour" So heavy!!

[@gl15col]

Shinedown did a live on Stripped of U2 song "One", which you have covered but their acoustic version will break your heart. Also "45" and "Save Me'.

[@Armyaunt73]

Shinedown from day 1 have been advocates for mental health. They have so many songs from ballads to head bangers. Brent Smith is the lead singer

[@dalewhite885]

Please check out either “Cut the Cord”, “Monster”, “Second Chance”, or “If You Only Knew”.

[@randallking2250]

Shinedown is one of my favorite bands, they have so many bangers. Brent Smith (lead singer) is phenomenal. Enemies, 45, call me, cut the cord, monster are just a few songs in their long list of hits. Love ya all.

[@ChadB1988]

Brent Smith is extremely talented! Y’all should really check out their song Call Me. It’s haunting and very good live if you can find the live version

[@markmosher7720]

You have not even scratched the surface when it comes to shinedown so much relateabilty to every song. Have yet to hear a song I don't like. Amazing 👏

[@karlbecker8775]

Brent Smith is the singer, and he is amazing. Enemies is another of their heavier songs, in case you want more. Monsters is another.

[@melissaward42]

Plus the video for Enemies is so funny 😂

[@mattwillis4562]

Don't sleep on Black Soul and Planet Zero for heavy bangers!

[@thecentralscrutinizer5730]

From my homestate of Florida! Seen them a few times since 08! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 The Carnival Of Madness in 2013 Virginia Beach Amphitheater was amazing with the fire acrobats

[@taylormartin90]

you guys hit this perfect!! I am a combat veteran with PTSD, and I also created the sound of madness and wrote the book on pain. Your absolutely right, the sound of madness is in your head, and it needs to be let out somehow, but for me, the book on pain was written due to a back injury. It's a back injury that can never heal due to nerve damage, so yeah that book is being added to daily.

[@jeffreydooley3745]

Shinedown is a great deep dive. Go for it.

[@DavidLender]

Shinedown's very much about mental health. It is in a lot of their songs. This one has been in my workout playlist for years. Here's my list of must hear songs from them: Second Chance Monsters A Symptom of Being Human Daylight How Did You Love 45 If You Only Knew Enemies Diamond Eyes (From the Expendables soundtrack) Really enjoyed your reaction to this! Hope to see you react to some (or all) of these! Rock on!

[@stevetremblay961]

yes, all of those but specifically Enemies if only for the video!

[@UnbelieverInME]

Monsters is a hard-hitting banger. The band has matured soooo much over the years.

[@carolreaume6518]

This is one of my favourite songs by Shinedown. (Their cover of Hammer to Fall is also amazing.) This song is definitely about not succumbing to the worst parts of mental illness, encouraging us to stand up and fight for yourself. You are here for a reason and worth fighting for!

[@jennyjenny8323]

My favorite band. Period. When I left Carolina to move to Texas from that small gossip town I blasted “Second Chance” with a middle finger out the window. My husband now left the day after graduation. Every time that song comes on, I sing loud and smile.

[@NothingOnMeIsFake]

MONSTERS!!! That is another banger and is about his demons of fighting addiction. If you to the complete other side, A Symptom of Being Human is also on mental health and how everyone is going through a battle of their own. Brent Smith, singer, is an incredible lyricist!

[@richardvincelette9741]

Yes!!!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 Shinedown is well worth the musical journey

[@MikeMilczarski-pr4gc]

Fly From The Inside is another banger of Shinedown. 🤘😎

[@MattJocks]

Lead guitarist (for this album only) was Nick Perri, older brother of singer-songwriter Christina Perri, best known for A Thousand Years. Interestingly, Shinedown songs dealt a lot with mental illness and so does Christina, who herself has been in therapy for clinical depression since she was 8. She couldn't be further away musically but her songs about mental health, Human, I Believe, Tiny Victories and Mothers are low-volume, high-emotional impact.

[@sangdrax5352]

Shinedown is incredible at their live shows. Brent is one hell of a singer, and they are all great performers and musicians.

[@odieooops4171]

It’s about time y’all checked out SHINEDOWN again. You have 20 + years of amazing talent to choose from next!!! Lead singer Brent Smith has one of the best vocals around. Keep heading down the rabbit hole guys, you won’t be disappointed. Great reaction ❤

[@SusanFritz-v7i]

I love Shinedown and my favorite song is Monsters. I too have a mental health issue that I have been addressing since 1982 when I had a suicide plan and was getting close to carrying it out. This is the result of the premature birth of my first child, who lived for 8 hours. I was convinced that it was my fault and that my body betrayed me. Needless to say I am still in treatment and managing well. Jay, I heard you mention that you too have a mental health issue. Keep on keeping on Brother. Take good care of yourself. Love to you and Amber❤

[@kpetitjr]

Shinedown is one of the best bands out there currently and one of my favorites ever. A couple of “softer” songs with incredible lyrics and messages I’d recommend are “Daylight” and “A Symptom of Being Human” from their “Planet Zero” album which they wrote during the COVID pandemic. Also, “Get Up” from their album “ATTENTION ATTENTION” is one of my personal favorites given its message. It resonates more and more with me each day as my kids get older.

[@donkraemer50]

Their choruses are always amazing, so complex and longer than most. This is one of my favorite bands. I've seen them more than any other band live

[@anthonyblakely399]

Sounds of Madness is the sounds created in one's head with millions of voices talking all at once...that drive a person crazy!!!! In this world one needs a space of quiet to tone down those sounds and voices that could definitely destroy a person. Great song!!! Great band!!!

Shinedown is one of the most versatile bands in the current music scene - they have incredible ballads, bangers like this one, and songs with so much depth and meaning they pierce you to your very soul. This entire album is fire, as well as their earlier material like "Fly From The Inside" and "Burning Bright".

[@jodycollins2204]

Diamond eyes is my favorite banger by shinesown. And was featured in the movie the expendables

[@vickimartin6512]

Sound of Madness is the song Brent Smith, singer, says is the one song he would recommend as a first listen for anyone who doesn’t know Shinedown…and as the lyricist for the band, a lot of the lyrics have meaning to him, whether about his demons or his bandmate’s struggle with mental health issues, or something else. Powerful stuff.

[@JayT-1000]

Another great song about mental health, Shinedown’s, “Second Chance”. Also another good one to take a listen to is “Unwell” by Matchbox 20. Very relatable.

[@hondaphan4172]

My wife and I have seen them in concert a handful of times, the last time was waaaay back in '13 at the legendary Stone Pony's Outdoor Summer Stage in Asbury Park, NJ. They always put on a kick-butt show.

[@jamesmace9453]

I recommend listening to every Shinedown album. They switch their stuff up constantly and always offer a new listening experience. There's a reason they have so many #1 hits.

[@robertlazenby9686]

Awesome! Love Shinedown and love to you guys! They have lots of heavy stuff and also some beautiful stuff. Try “Daylight” and “Symptom of Being Human”. More on mental health and just getting the day with someone.

[@celticcat822]

To really appreciate Brent's voice check out his side band, Smith and Meyers. He and guitarist Zack Meyers formed for fun. They do both covers and their own music. They are amazing.

[@MarkBricely]

Brent Smith has a great voice and Shinedown will rock the house for sure!

[@debramunson6958]

Finally. Best band out there. Brent has the best voice ever. They have so many songs on the subject of mental health. You are going to love every song you do.❤

[@zsandbox]

So many great songs. They are huge advocates for mental health. Monsters, Symptom of Being Human, Daylight, Dead don’t Die, 45, Save Me, and I Dare You are just a few of my favorites. Honestly can’t think of a song of theirs that I don’t like.

[@charlesmontague6881]

I actually met the drummer Barry at an airport near where we both lived. He is a great guy and I'm happy that the band is still successful.
