I wonder if he accidentally has said that on stage

Lol 🤣🤣

[@fourstringgirl]

He is a very kind and appreciative person. 👍

[@sofiamiga7232]

Brent Smith making weird noises for 3 minutes straight. Not complaining.

[@Katfeaver]

I've been around so many vocalists over the years and each one is different. I react as quickly as they do if someone who doesn't know that a bottle of ice cold water isn't conducive to warming up. As for 3 mins of weird noises I defer to my thoughts about the amount of muscles in his face he keeps in shape as well. 😼

[@lafevebl]

Brent Smith is a kind, generous, wonderful person! He is one of the best rock singers ever! His voice is amazing, so beautiful! One of a kind singer as well! Love Shinedown sooo much!! 💙💙💙

[@lorimrasek7611]

Your voice is your gift, and an instrument like any other must be treated with respect, not to many vocalists would show you behind the scenes, thanks :P

[@Wirolain]

I hate it when musicians act like something was just given to them. As it takes blood sweat and tears, and lots of passion to reach that level of skill. I love it when they actually tell people how they work, because why wouldn't you want some more beautiful music in this world. Or are they just so insecure.. Brent shows his warm ups, which is awesome, tells on instagram stories how he writes melodies. It's not away from him. Also Ed Sheeran once showed his early singing recordings, which were not good. I can't tell you how long it took me to get into singing, just because I thought it was a "god given gift". Everyone can sing, doesn't mean everyone sounds the same, and they shouldn't :)

[@fearnpol4938]

[@miracleeady8515]

Even the greatest, most gifted singers who has been singing for many years needs to warm up 😊 Keep it up Brent 👍🏾

[@BenAlbert]

Very true I warm up 20 mins everyday even when I am not singing I still do my warmups I not only warm up my vocal folds I warm up my body

[@benalbert3063]

Oh course they do it’s a tiny muscle, just because your got a great voice doesn’t mean you don’t have to warm it up every day. I do 15 mins of vocal warmups every day.

[@ronws2007]

What I like is that the warm up really is that. Getting the basic function of the voice going. It reminds me of an interview with Ronnie James Dio. "There are only so many hours a day in the voice." So you warm up a little to be limber but you save the hard push for the stage.

best band ever. thank you

[@colinralston8010]

I just wanted to say that I love the band. I had the privilege of attending a concert just a couple days ago in Irvine, CA, and it was absolutely fantastic. I went with my dad and my best friend, and all three of us loved it. Both me and my dad have been fans since Amaryllis came out, and we both enjoyed that a bunch of Amaryllis songs showed up in the concert. My friend has never been into rock music very much, but after the concert, he became a fan of you as well. We got pretty lucky with our seating and were about 10 feet away from the platform where Eric Bass was playing for a few of the songs. My friend loved the acoustic songs, especially Through the Ghost and Simple Man, so much that the next day he started showing massive interest in guitar, and has now asked to begin guitar lessons. The point of this is that your music quite literally changed him, and I want to say thank you for that. Keep doing what you’re doing, and I love you guys

[@denisescribner2621]

“Full tilt boogie” love it.

[@diannegreen5235]

Brent Smith I found this so interesting, what you use for warming up is very similar to what a speech therapist used to teach our young son with autism to speak again after he stoped talking.she taught us and him that he needed to keep the muscles used for speaking active.

From a fellow Smith, this helped a lot because I've enjoyed trying to emulate your singing style and range for years and this definitely shed a light on the process you go through to preserve your voice, one of my trouble areas for a long time.

I just saw you guys this past Tuesday in Missoula, Montana after dreaming about it for so, so many years and omg you guys KILLED it! Best concert I've ever been to, hands down! Your energy on stage, the way you interact with the crowd, the pyro, all of it was just epic! I can't wait for you to come back. I've made it my mission to never miss a show of yours in my home state. Thank you for doing what you do and just being amazing! ❤❤❤

You cant be #1 fan if im the #1 fan tho!!!

[@clairedemar5670]

Saw them in Dallas in May and they did both 45 and Simple Man. I've seen them live for the past 4 years and every time they do Simple Man. Could just be for Dallas though, idk. But I'm with you, I'd love to hear Burning Bright or even Fly from the Inside, maybe.

[@tanyaferguson5786]

Sean Profit would be willing to share title.

[@tanyaferguson5786]

Claire DeMar always a mix of 45 and simple man. Last one no 45. I love them. I don’t miss a show in a 200 mile radius. I’m in KCMO fairly easy to go. NEVER heard one other song from first album. That’s the album that got me thru some hard shit. I absolutely love it listen to it as much as kill your conscience. Burning Bright my very very fav call me live. I may die.

[@jennifergoodman180]

We saw them about a week ago... They did Call Me and I was sooooo happy. I love Kill Your Conscience too!!! Well I pretty much love everything they do. They're amazing live! 😄

[@gooseghazi]

Omfg! Practicing and teaching my self to sing and started doing the see warmups for 5 mins before jamming has helped so much! And seeing his technique was UNBEATABLE. Now please have him to a video of his belting technique with and without grit for those of us that worship his Godly voice!!! Please

[@lanceharris155]

My daughter and I saw you guys perform 2 days before this video was posted in Houston. The Sound of Madness album got me thru a lot of rough times because I didn't get to see my daughter until she was a year and a half old. The song Call Me got me thru those nights of not knowing how she was or even what her name was until the day I finally got to meet her for the first time. Fast forward 10 years we're both big fans and I take her to see you guys for her first concert ever and were only 15 feet from Brent as he sings Call Me and I watch as she sings every word. I was the happiest and proudest father at that moment in my life and all the pain and struggle I went through to get to that moment with my daughter was worth it all. Probably won't ever read this but from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything...
