Shinedown - MONSTERS (REACTION VIDEO)

[@katemccrea6963]

I believe the album is about depression, and the band members battles with anxiety, depression, addiction. The album is best listened to in order, because they wrote it as a progression of their feelings and how they dealt with these issues.

[@amyavery8746]

The album began with the song Get Up which is about Eric bass and his battle with clinical depression and yes the rest of it came from addiction and other problems that BrentSMITH and Eric bass battle

[@amyavery8746]

There is a great documentary video on KZbin that explains what this album is all about start to finish and how it came to be and it started with the fact that Brent wrote the song get up about Eric which is where it all started if you type in Brent Smith dedicated get up to that's where it starts he'll explain how the album became a a story album

[@rachelc8715]

I’m in recovery(clean & sober since Jan 21, 2015) and I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in my car like “YESSSS!!!!” 😂🙌🏼 Those of us in recovery definitely relate to this song ALOT.

[@dawnmooney9186]

Shinedown did a cover of the Lynard Skynyrd song "Simple Man"...one of the best covers I've ever heard.

[@rynor7132]

Shinedown is one of the greatest most under rated bands in America. Their cover of Simple man is amazing. There isnt a song by them that I dont like. Amazing song writers and lyricists

[@nicolespiteri6273]

I stumbled upon Shinedown on KZbin just like I stumbled onto your site. It's lucky for me I did. I became an instant fan of Shine Down. They have so many incredible songs you should check out. ENEMIES is a great video...super funny. THROUGH THE GHOST... Hauntingly beautiful {no pun intended} lol They are wordsmiths with their lyrics, writing about sensitive issues and then masterfully executed into brilliant songs. Brent Smith has one amazing voice to be reckoned with! Thank you so much for not constantly stopping the video. It's enough watching your face and expressions to tell me everything you feel about the song and then a pleasure to hear your thoughts afterwards. I will happily follow you now because I appreciate the way you view the videos. I stopped watching reactions because it was a little too much 'yap yap' throughout the entire song. Side note* You are a handsome guy...flash that smile, it's gorgeous* Luv from Canada 🇨🇦

[@haveuforgotten]

You should see shinedown in Concert. They are freaking awesome.

[@triggeredpossum6752]

I've seen them twice and both times they used pyrotechnics indoors it was great xdd

[@travisskattum1365]

I saw them once while I was feeling sick left the show pumped up and feeling ten ft tall!!

[@luciferluci4570]

seen them 9 times!! so great live

[@richw8589]

Saw them in 19....Second only to LP in 08. Nobody can ever unseat Chester! Shinedowns pyros were insane!

[@amandablack4986]

I'd love to see them again

[@wendydotson8891]

This song is more like a shinedown song, this one is like the shinedown I fell in love with back in the beginning. I just love his voice, so much passion.

[@ChrisWhite-vs6ud]

I totally agree. I used to love SD but a lot of their music lately has a different more pop oriented sound. But Monsters just kicks ass in the mode of 45

[@hugoa2637]

@@ChrisWhite-vs6ud They've always been against settling on one sound or fitting into one genre. Their variety is part of their identity.

[@theneoenigma2094]

Their first few albums were great, then they shat on all that with Threat To Survival. But they brought it back with ATTENTION ATTENTION.

[@wendydotson8891]

TheNeoEnigma I think there are some really good songs on both threat to survival and attention attention, it was mainly cut the cord that I don’t like off threat to survival. The lyrics are great it’s just the sound of the song overall I don’t like. And there’s a few off of attention attention I’m not super fond of but I don’t hate any of them. If you haven’t already you should also check out the Smith and Meyers sessions, they’re all acoustic covers of other bands songs, and they sound great!

[@theneoenigma2094]

Wendy Dotson that’s like the opposite of what most people think about threat to survival. Most people seem to only like cut the cord, but I also like misfits, black Cadillac, and thick as thieves.

[@alicewhitekaminski7530]

Shinedown has been my favorite band for 15 years! They have saved me from the darkness of life's demons so many times! Their music helps me purge all if it!!! Best band ever.

[@Renea13099]

Shinedown are huge advocates for mental health and well-being. They speak about it openly.

[@michaeltabor4176]

One of my all time favorite bands. Definitely need more shinedown. I recommend Sound of Madness

[@drumlord8772]

Not just the song either...the entire Sound of Madness album is great.

[@debbiekeith595]

Almost anything Brent sings is amazing. And this band LOVES their fans. Some of the genuinely nicest guys I’ve ever met! I’ve seen them 8 times and they never disappoint! I’ve been a Shinedown fan for about 16-17 years and there are so many great songs. Anything everyone else has already suggested, I agree with them. If you like his voice then check out Apocalyptica, Not Strong Enough featuring Brent. Amazing....thanks for opening the door to more new SD fans. They deserve all the recognition they can get!

[@steelshotproductions]

I've watched numerous reviews to this song and you are only one of a few reactors that really got the message. Two separate stories in one video involving monsters that are both at this Marines funeral.

[@TheMBaxter]

Exactly my take. A cheater of the dead soldier and a child abuser.

[@JacksonsViews]

They did a small documentary about the album, and this song was all about their monsters, vices, addictions and illnesses that eat away at each member of the band

[@ronsuper100]

This is part 2 of a Shinedown song named Get Up. It will make more sense. Great 👍 video!!!

[@chumley24]

Hi from over the pond in the Uk, Shinedown are starting to take off here and will hopefully get bigger, they have just toured here...I believe the whole album is about MH issues and this just demonstrates as you say what some people fight through daily.. not me thank god, the whole album written by bass gutarist who has his own issues and describes it as just a part of his brain he fights with on a regular basis ..Brilliant album, i listen in the car every day its that good..and the lady is hot ...or fit as we say..good review

[@anthonycuevas2122]

They great band you have many more songs yet are still powerful and one of my favorite bands of all time if you haven't heard them before and you just barely hear him now and they're really good band for everybody to have a message on every one of them their songs

[@mom2knj73]

They are my all time favorite band. All their songs have a deep meaning. Brent sings with such power. Devil is another good one if you haven’t heard it yet.

[@triggeredpossum6752]

Nobody: Brent Smith: kEEEEL

Your review meant the world to me because you kept it real and did not pause the video once. You gave your opinion as you went. You have yourself a subscription and I will watch everything you have now lol

[@lauriebarker858]

By far my favorite song of theirs

[@quieteyes881]

Heroes is a good oldie from them. Worth a listen.

[@wendydotson8891]

FatKidzLagIRL love this one!

[@victoriamassengale77]

Omg there is so much amazing Shinedown! I have been lucky enough to see them live twice and will see them again in two months with my oldest son! It’s going to be his first rock concert and we are both so excited! My song dedicated to my kids is by them called “I’ll Follow you”! But anyways you can never go wrong with any of their music bc they have a lot of variety. They have really hard stuff Like Sound of madness and Devil! Also some upbeat rock like “State of my Head” or “cut the cord”! And they have some with the most amazing messages like Monsters,Get Up and Second Chance! They are my favorite so please dig deeper I promise they are a band worth your time not just musically but also on a personal level all these men are just beautiful human beings🖤🤍🤟🏽⚠️⚠️⚠️🤍🖤🤟🏽

[@scottjswenson]

Subbed, you have a fan. As for the song, this is what Shinedown is all about - fantastic lyrics with a message, delivered by one of the best vocalists in rock.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Thanks for the sub. An yes, I really like cut the cord but Monsters is on a whole different level.

[@scottjswenson]

​@@TheAdventuresofTNT Seems like every album (showing my age, I know...) has at least one gem on it. Leave a Whisper was dark, great tracks are: 45, Better Version, Burning Bright. Us and Them was angry, great tracks are: Save Me (personal favorite), Shed Some Light, Beyond the Sun The Sound of Madness worked through some healing, great tracks are: The Crow & Butterfly, Breaking Inside, Call Me, Second Chance, Sound of Madness Amaryllis is more healing and discovery with a change in style, call it "maturity" if you will, great tracks are: Bully, Unity, Miracle, I'll Follow You. Threat to Survival is just that, fighting back: Cut the Cord, State of my head, How did you love Attention, Attention I've just started listening to but it slots right in after Sound of Madness as far as the sound, vibe, and rawness. Better I think than the last two: Devil, Monsters, Get Up, Evolve, Brilliant Keep up the great reactions!

[@hugoa2637]

@@scottjswenson There's a noticeable difference in their music from SoM onwards. Zach Myers and Eric bass coming in really elevated them to the next level in terms of musicianship and song writing. Not there's anything wrong with the first 2 albums, but they've added so many more dimensions to their sound since then.

[@hihijedi2]

Please react to What A Shame- Shinedown. Really anything off that album is great.

[@jimwells768]

Yeah, this is new Shinedown it kicks ass, you need to check out the song call me and second chance👍👍👍

[@EscapingElyisum]

The entire "Attention Attention" album is about dealing with mental health issues, deppression, anxiety, etc.. so highly recommend listening through it from start to finish

[@trinityjenkins9176]

LEAD SINGER BATTLED DRUG ADDICTION FOR YEARS UNTIL THE BIRTH OF HIS SON..THE SONG IF YOU ONLY KNEW WAS WRIITEN FOR HIS SON...THE BAND IS BRILLIANT AND BRENT IS AWESOME..CHECK OUT HIS SONG NOT STRONG ENOUGH ,WHICH HE SINGS WITH THE BAND Apocoliptica...powerful song to match his voice

[@marianconwell1401]

Before you start the video, the lead singer Brent Smith, he actually is a recovering Drug addict and Recovering Alcoholic, his band mates helped him

I'd say react to Attention Attention, Devil, Get Up (They're all on the same album)....also check out Smith & Myers. Two of the members are doing their own thing as well and react to Bad At Love if you get a chance. These guys have become my personal favorite over the years and if you get time, look back at their old stuff before Brent cut his hair.

[@shawnaoconnor2408]

Hey TNT, I absolutely love Brent Smith of Shinedown! They have quickly turned into my favorite band! I found them on Utube , singing 'Simple Man ' you should definitely check it out! I think it's actually better than the original song! But with such an incredible voice that Brent has, how could anyone doubt me? Lol. Also too, you should check their song 'How Did You Love' , it is Perfection- For Real!!!! It hits your SOUL like a Mac Truck! And I dare You not to walk around humming it, and singing it to yourself after you hear it, it burns into your mind, you can't escape the way it makes you feel, Seriously!

[@aprilstorm]

The Adventures of TNT that's amazing, I just found your vid cause YT knows I love this song so they put this vid in my recommended, I’m glad! So what do you think at the very end when the little girl is in the same space as the lady and looks at her?

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

That scene was very deep. Too me it seemed like the little girl was looking at her to see how she was handling her situation. Its obvious that shes dealing with her own problems so I think that its natural for someone to look to others in times of adversity to see how they handle a traumatic situation. I mean, this video just had so many layers, I could go on an on.

[@aprilstorm]

The Adventures of TNT yes I could go on and on too! I think the end confused me because during the vid I thought the little girl was the lady, when she was a kid. It was showing she was abused as a child.. At the end the little girl was her own person.. I don't know LOL! I want to talk to the videographer too! Anyway, great channel!!
