Shinedown - Acoustic Version of "The Sound of Madness" at 987FM

Shinedown stopped by the 987FM Stage in Los Angeles for a live performance of their big hit "The Sound of Madness"

[@rahulsarkar2313]

the fact that they can rock this song acoustic shows how freaking awesome they are

[@brooklynking6138]

That’s because it’s dubbed over with the studio recording. If you watch the whole video, you’d be able to tell that as well.

[@rahulsarkar2313]

What matters is that the version is acoustic that’s undeniably awesome🤟🏽

[@xKillerClownx]

@@brooklynking6138 This is not dubbed over. Hurr Durr

[@thezombros2607]

Brooklyn King it's clearly not dubbed

[@gdeetman1590]

Still strong in 2023 and getting chills from this song and this performance! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@HYPERZSHOCK]

His voice is stronger now than it was 3 years ago, they over did it with the touring. If you go back and watch videos you'll see it.

[@DickotheClown]

Love the sound of that guitar!!

[@johndoppleguard]

Come on DICKO, really? Lmfao at your name. Great song yes. Probably not the liberal anthem. Yea I dig the sound and the way dude plays. Way cool.

[@ethanlll2876]

[@jamiefry1142]

[@johndoppleguard]

Well shoot howdy kinda looks like Paula eh?

[@Compressioncamper]

Zack on the acoustic is very impressive. Mad props on the chops!

[@abc12316882]

in the current music scene of phoned in BS, it's so refreshing to watch these guys, they make great music and they clearly care. Well done guys.

[@yuliatrushakova2025]

hard song for acoustic, but Brent can do anything

[@adamroussel7068]

Such a powerful unique voice !! Thats a tough song to sing especially acoustic and that was a real treat to hear

[@connormurphy349]

I need to learn this on guitar

[@blackhawk7r221]

Power Pipes Rockin it still, Apr 2022

[@harlilawson8038]

He is amazing.....

[@megaandrew2005]

This band never disappoints me. Their always on point. Super talented and so good to their fans🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@natedawg3855]

Immaculate voice!

[@avery1234530]

I told my older brother almost 40 years ago that turning popular songs into unplugged remakes would be a really big thing and he told me I was crazy.

[@zombeast23]

The Best Shinedown Shinedown

[@joeygrillorocks]

Excellent Song, Style and Vibe-Love This Version!!!!!

[@beejaybaumgartner5866]

As good as it gets!

[@mattypayne66]

I agree with all of that; his voice is the strongest it has been in years, but it doesn't match his voice from the days of Leave a whisper; back in 2003 his voice was even stronger, yet softer. Still one of the best male rock voices around if not the best!

[@ShineyLadyM]

Love Brent's voice.

[@missmia7840]

wow boy, very nice voice ;)

[@YNK-4THEP33PS]

My little boy likes this version of sound of madness, cuz it sounds more country he's 9 and we're mexican

[@johndoppleguard]

Cause his age and your ( coughing) nationality really make the statement so much more believable? Hmmmm?

[@MohamedIbrahim-nd1fb]

SHINEDOWN

[@zombeast23]

Like It Thumbs Up

[@JorgenSjobom67]

Ain't this Smith & Myers doing a Shinedown song?

[@JorgenSjobom67]

I know that Brent Smith is the singer in Shinedown and Zach Myers is the guitarist in the same group but they've done a lot of songs as 'Smith & Myers' and as far as I can see it's just these two so I wondered cause it was labeled as a Shinedown song. BTW, you haven't missed that Smith & Myers released a album recently?

[@zombeast23]

Album Have It Too

[@debreit7974]

🖤🎤🔉

[@lalder959595]

Let me know if you find them

[@coymckenzie4903]

[@coymckenzie4903]

[@adjhd1]

[@Wolfwithsilvereyes]

well thank you.... are u going to any of the other dates in their uproar festival tour?

[@johndoppleguard]

Fucked up. Yep You been infected.

[@johndoppleguard]

Really? Wow..... Esmfahbitch😊

[@sdzofmadness]

Sweet fancy moses...

[@dylanrobb73]

He has lost weight.. And he has stronger voice..... I won't a nother album to come out:(

[@stephanea8316]

0:17 OMG Brent's Hand!!

[@lalder959595]

No, some Shinedown "fans" say that he has weakened his voice from too much touring the last couple years. But if those people would watch this video, they would shut their mouths.

[@tyler456ize]

Look, I sing in a popular band and always strain my voice, sometimes you just have to do shows back to back strained or not, for me I just have to know not to try and hit certain notes when this happens, but you dont lose your damn voice, "brents voice is gone"? wtf really seriously. I can tell when he has worked his voice to hard and when he hasnt. Alot and I mean 90 percent of singers hold back sometimes, brent regardless of being strained never ever holds back.

[@johndoppleguard]

Kinda looks like bandit. Ha ha.

[@lalder959595]

"Shaking my head" haha

[@ninersrule2686]

I’ve always teetered between Brent Smith and David Draiman as my favorite live singers…this is my first time hearing this one, Brent definitely took a decent lead in my opinion

[@CrowandButterfly100]

Does anyone know what his neck tattoo is?

[@Coliex]

Brent Smith- and everything is clear :)

[@am34]

He mixed up sleep and wake at 3:16 yes Morgan

[@METALLICAa7xACDC]

is he using electric strings to get this sound?

[@mitchpeterson1984]

no

[@Smellydoug]

Nadda

[@izzie833]

1st what do i win

[@JohnSmith-xi9qt]

Fucking fantastic!!

[@tyrael864]

mmmm... :D

[@iccon20]

Cornell is past his prime, but he owned Brent Smith when he recorded Badmotorfinger and Superunknown. I enjoy and appreciate both their singing talents. But that is a fact.

[@rfsdfsfwefsdfasdfaf]

I promise everyone if they are at EarthDay BirthDay this year I will run outside screaming and crying.and I'm just some white girl that lives in the ghetto.

[@johndoppleguard]

Cool but ya gotta be naked as a Jay bird, k ?

[@lalder959595]

And people say he lost his voice... smh

[@janetharrison2377]

love

[@user-kd6df5jo4d]

😂😂😂😂😅😅😅

[@coop31684]

He's much more talented than this. He takes these shortcuts on the acoustic tracks to save his voice. He sings the harmony key for the chorus, and it sounds weird. I just wish he'd sing it as balls-to-the-wall as we all know he can.

[@sailerlove8103]

coop31684 HELL YEAH

[@landon2249]

Oh come on man

[@justinsayswtf]

It would be weird to yell full force over an acoustic guitar. The point of acoustic versions is to be more intimate. Anyone who thinks Brent Smith isn't one of the most talented vocalists in music is crazy lol

[@michelangelotroccoli7748]

This is great but layne staley is still god

[@mattypayne66]

He can't sing high songs live as well as he could three years ago, I.E I dare you and sound of madness. He is still possibly the best male rock vocalist around though!

[@brooklynking6138]

the poster of this song took the studio song and removed the drums, bass, and background tracks. Then dubbed the voice and guitar tracks. They forgot to add that first backup vocal track. This is NOT a live performance! They deleted or muted the live audio and dubbed the studio recording over it. Watch it all the way to the end. Looks like a bad lip syncing contest, and mute guitar.

[@haydenkunes9046]

I have no idea what ur talking about, being a music producer myself, I can clearly see that this is live... but I don’t even need that to know that, this sounds wayyyy different than the studio recording

[@ACOfficialmusicpage]

i have the multitracks to this and can confirm 100% Live :D

[@thezombros2607]

Two things one it's clearly live there's no studio recording of this song that sounds like this two your wrong

[@iccon20]

I'm a huge fan of unplugged/acoustic music but if you think that this is ANYWHERE near close to what he used to sing like then you are just a fanboy and delusional. That's like saying Chris Cornell is as good as he was. It's not even close dude.

[@cladysmith9505]

Why is that little guitarist singing??? This isn't punk. Brent has the vocals of a man shaped god. Could have been perfect... Even the sound engineer had the 2nd mic off first time Zach sang. Shameful. Awesome song otherwise

[@brooklynking6138]

He didn’t have the mic off. There was no audio on the recording for that part. This was dubbed over by the original studio recording. Watch along and you can see that the poster of this song took the studio song and removed the drums, bass, and background tracks. Then dubbed the voice and guitar tracks. They forgot to add that first backup vocal track.

[@maryhelenbuchele7342]

Little guitarist really he sings all the time on stage at there shows & at their acoustic shows Smith and Myers. He is actually a really good singer.

[@ShineyLadyM]

Chris Cornell is overrated... :P

[@chuckyz2]

Lyrics are childish

[@scratchtowinorlose9669]

GAY!
