Shinedown - The Past 10 Years

[@amelienaisbett6522]

Favourite band in the entire world❤️❤️❤️

[@brentsmith721]

Same here!

[@rainkat1873]

So proud of all that Shinedown, and Brent himself, have accomplished over the past 10 years, both musically and personally. For this decade and longer, Shinedown has been the mainstay of my life's soundtrack, through good times and bad alike. I am beyond grateful.

[@currysetser9940]

This is why Shinedown is hands down the greatest band out there.

[@zulumagoo1]

My friend and I had been fans since leave a whisper. I'm sad to say he's gone. But him introducing me to Shinedown, has given me a stronghold on getting through the worst of times. And I still have the whole (I think) of the 2nd to last album , yet to experience. Forgive the lapses in memory. I've bumped my head, a few times. I'm an album tracker. I like the whole of music.

[@YesterdaysYouthTV]

SUCH A SUPER-GROUP!!! MY WORD!

[@dakotadean2489]

I have 2 Shinedown tattoos! I was introduced to their music when I was 14 or 15 by my best friend Richard, and they've been my favorite ever since (I'll be 26 this year) my best friend was killed in a car accident in 2012 and "If you only knew" was our song. I didn't know how much I would need that song during such a devastating time. I hope one day I can finally meet my heros, not just for me but for my angel in the sky. In the past I was extremely into self harm and suicidal thoughts, and would've taken my own life if Shinedown wasn't there to help save me. You don't realize what you guys do. You save lives and give hope.

[@heidibaltom8138]

I am just in love with how honest they all are. Eric at the begining actually said he was annoyed walking into the interview because it was the last day off and he had to work and he didnt want to be there. I dont really know of any other person, musician or actor or celebrity that would say something like that. I appreciate that so much. I appreciate and admire anyone who can be this open and honest. I just love it

[@rosefire3003]

I will always love this band man. This band I feel like has been a major motivation for me. I can't wait to see what this new year brings for this band

[@deganash7767]

Know of them , but I was at the Palmer in Alaska. I didn't go see them, I was at the fair with my family. I became a fan while I was walking around at the fair, the music was so cleanly played. my 2 kids 12 boy and 10 girl both liked the band I had to buy 3 albums in the car. im am a fan of this band!

[@Michael777Simmons]

I mark mile stones in my life by Shinedown album title's #1Leave a Whisper..I started a new business. #2 Us and Them.. I moved across country. #3Sound of Madness... I got a divorce. #4 Amaryllis... Bankruptcy. #5 Threat to Survival... Lost my grandmother(Mother) #6 Attention Attention... Met my wife and started a new business. #7 Planet Zero.... Turning 60 yrs old and so glad your music helped and shared it all. From sing to your songs to pass time to kicking the blues.

[@lostsoul9773]

I cried I’m not ashamed to admit it either ! What these 4 beautiful men just did by baring their souls to us just shows why they are so loved and adored by their followers! Thank you so much for the last decade and BRING IT ON !!! YOU GUYS HAVE GOT THIS AND US !! Lotsa love, hugs & best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺❣️❤️❤️❤️❣️💖

[@megaandrew2005]

Love what you wrote!! 100%% They are true gentleman and super professional at their crafts. And as human beings. I have to listen to them everyday. They give me so much happiness. To another decade and more🙏🔥

[@stacyrussell460]

❤❤❤ their honesty, their resilience, their loyalty... Love Shinedown.

[@heathervance-nelson7487]

Beautiful revelations of life... thanks guys...

[@randylatuche2647]

What a decade it has been. Thank each of you for being part of my life. Your music, attitude, emotion, and love has carried me through many days. God bless you all. Looking forward to the future.

[@DaniellaKatzOfficial]

10 years ago... I was 8 years old, I was in 2nd grade. My dad had just bought the new iPod 4th generation, he let me listen to some of his songs and he played "The Crow and the Butterfly", after that one time I never stopped listening to Shinedown, I fell in love with this band and I still am. You have taken a special place in my heart and I am so thankful you guys exist and create the music you do. I've seen you perform live twice (you guys were in fact my first concert) and I really hope I can be there for whatever the future holds for Shinedown! Thank you, Shinedown❤

[@alecwesterholm9122]

My mom showed me them a while ago when I was like 9 or so and I still love them, everything they put out, seen them live too

[@suegrisso2431]

Been one of my favorite bands for at least 10 years. Saw them last Friday (7-26-2024) at Thunder Valley, Lincoln CA. They were amazing! Only thing I wish they would have played Daylight. Either way it was a fantastic, high energy show! Thank you for your music!

[@lislaJalinde]

to this day monsters and get up oh i will happily belt out I can relate to those two so much

[@despina3236]

Way more than a band! Sending my love from Greece.

[@rodrigosantosguitar]

Last decade brought Amaryllis album. Masterpiece.

[@Blottski]

That's my favourite Shinedown album by far

[@rainkat1873]

Hands down the best album.

[@gilbertgarza6632]

[@Ibanez-ct1ih]

[@funkyfox9457]

this is the band that got me through some of the most difficult time i my life. every time i lisendt to there music i all way smiled

[@GracieBumblebee]

I will be forever grateful to this band for giving me the gift of their music. Ten years ago I was getting ready to finish high school and I was travelling Europe when I heard Second Chance playing in a restaurant in Greece and somehow time slowed down... I felt Brent was singing to me. Going into university, getting a professional degree in my area of study, to now working permanently in a field I love, Shinedown’s music has been there with me through everything; reminding me to keep going forward and refining myself to be the best version of me I could be. Thank you, Shinedown for giving us, your fans, music that connects us to the soundtrack of our lives. 💖🤟

[@nicoleschwartz4187]

Four of the most stellar men and human beings I've had the privilege to meet. Thank you for EVERYTHING! Love you all. #ShinedownFamilyForLife 🥰

[@monchie_rjg]

The way they change their different styles of rock with every album keeps them unique. They also have a more positive attitude with their lyrics also. Love Shinedown.

[@harukozgoalz3566]

I love diamond eyes! I started getting into you guys last year 2018 but I believe it's not how long you follow a band, it's about the impact that band has made in your life!

[@ghostydemon6668]

Been listening to these guys since sound of madness an never stop listening to them ever since. Went to go see them in concert for their threat for survival album an they kicked ass. Love these guys an their music so much. Sending love from pa

[@mdrossi11]

Thank you guys for sharing... I'm in my 60s and you guys are my favorite band!.. Love the music and your lyrics... Glad you are still here and will still continue on this wonderful journey.. Get up!!!! Thank you again!

[@dinamush1342]

This band has gotten me through alot, thanks guys.♥️

[@Daniel-jc1wd]

amen

[@lisalu7153]

My husband and I are in our 50s and are pretty late to the party when it comes to Shinedown. But our arrival started out quite literally in unison. Often times, we’ll send each other videos of music we like. One morning, he sent me one, and before I listened to his, I sent him a video. Turns out we had sent each other the same one…..Shinedown’s “I’ll Follow You.” Last year I check their concert schedule and saw they were mainly in Europe. In November, they announced a short US tour, and we have 3rd row seats in Chattanooga. We are stoked!!

[@laynejones9366]

I have done a lot of things in the past decade. I can to terms with who I am. I have accepted it. Working on telling my friends. Only told one person. I have a large appetite for new music. I listen to everything under the sun. I have a list of artists that I love. I found my passion. I love to create artwork. I also realized that I have mild depression and Anxiety disorders. Sometimes they get the best of me and sometimes they don't. Shinedown is one of the many artist that help me feel like its okay to me cracked. That I am not broken just cracked, because cracks can be filled in by something.

[@MegaJojje123]

Life wouldnt be the same without your band and I appreciate it so much keep it going!

[@cacon1239]

I only recently discovered this amazing band, but your songs have already helped me enjoy the best of my life, and survive the worst.

[@dusktilldawn91]

God bless you all. Thank you for the last decade of music and love, can NOT wait to see what this decade beings for you and for us the fans. Sending you all my LOVE

[@cariashley446]

Absolutely f****ing looooovvvveeeee this band since I first heard them yrs ago & Just watching how they have grew into an awesome kick*** band is amazing & I'm dyin to see them in person but if not o well but to see Brent would be a dream come true & I'd probly die right there..lol..

[@tishasannes2591]

Agree !100%!!! Diddo!!!!

[@tondy1000]

If Brent wouldn’t have stood his ground against the label and wrote The Sound Of Madness as only he could then we as fans wouldn’t have Shinedown today!!

[@matthewjohnston8982]

I hope Shinedown keeps going strong one of the best bands

[@jerrymerrick8608]

Gentlemen, Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Your music touches so many and at different levels. That is something to write home to Mom about and Mark in red on your calendar. You all are saving lives through music. Best of luck and fortune in 2020 ❤️👊🏻🤘🏻

[@TideLife04]

My favorite band of all time 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@KimPlantsArt]

Y’all have helped me through so much tough shit and feelings. Y’all got me into rock and will probably continue to be my number one. I dealt with a lot of suicidal feelings and depression and self harm for a long time and y’all were with me throughout the entire thing whether or not you knew. Learning your guy’s stories has been the biggest inspiration to me and your songs have gotten me through so much. I cannot thank you enough.

[@NickBeast-gy2es]

I first listened to you in 2009. 6 years after Leave a Whisper was released. 11 years later, I have become a loyal member of Shinedown Nation. Your songs are fantastic!!!!!! I saw you guys for the 1st time in June in Jersey, you guys kicked serious ass that Friday night. I met so many Shinedown fans at that show and saw the true feeling of Shinedown concerts. That show in Michigan in July was in doubt the best concert I have ever watched. Shinedown Nation was a 10 out of 10!!!!!!!! This year I will recruit some members for Shinedown Nation. Happy New Year guys, and thank you so much for everything. 2020 will be fun. Have fun on the Deep Dive tour. Please bring the Deep Dive tour to Jersey!!!

From the one song i would always belt in the car as a young child, to helping me (and my dad) up and through life, the emotion and attitude of Shinedown has always amazed me. Here's to another Brilliant 10 years!🖤💛

[@ignaciomartinchiaravalle]

Just... Thank you, guys. Thanks a lot. You've changed my life for the better, and you've really helped me become the person I am today. Here's to many more decades of your awesome music!!

Nice to see you all! Thank you all for your honest talk from a few years ago!

[@ericbengtson3490]

Your early albums helped to save me from what l now realize was self imposed madness and insanity. This music helped me recognize the problem and helped me to see the way up and out of my pit of despair. I am forever grateful to Shinedown!

[@Catlady1210]

I would lightly whisper the words to Get up while I was inpatient for alcoholic withdrawal in September. Scariest experience but glad I did it. Unfortunately, I foght this demon still and find myself falling again. I drink because it helps my chronic pain from the 4 autoimmune diseases I have. I dont even like drinking only the release from bone and joint pain. Been on paid meds that did not help but God willing I am seeing some new physicians this year and I pray they help me get better not just for me but for my loving husband and son.

I want to thank each of you for being you. You've changed the lives of many and you stay humble and true to yourselves. Finally after 18 years I had the opportunity of meeting you guys in Dayton, Ohio. I'm now medication free! I'm losing weight! I'm mentally and physically stronger than I've ever been in my life. I'm hoping to see you in Louisville, KY in April. Much love!

Definitely got me through some rough times, but always counted on listening to Shinedown and have all the albums possible. Favorite band no doubt. And can’t wait to see them again in concert if possible for me.

[@ankevandooren6637]

Watching this again and again Eric is bringing me to tears.

[@IndifferenceRules]

THANK YOU SHINEDOWN! For the last decade Shinedown have got me through so so many dark and despairing times .. When I needed light .. Shinedown .. When I needed to be fierce .. Shinedown gave me the determination .. When it was time for the world to know and witness what monsters were and are created when children are beaten and abused .. Shinedown enabled myself and many others to allow our monsters to be seen as guardians and protectors instead of antisocial personality disorders ... and when the echoes of the past try and drag us back into the maelstrom of dread .. Shinedown reminds us that we are stronger than we realise .. So please be making hearts , minds and souls more peaceful. for another decade or two. Peace Love and Mung beans!

[@michellepotter628]

My favorite people on this planet that I have never met but have touched me in so many ways! Have been friends without ever even speaking! Have inspired me to be a really wonderful person.

Congratulations and thank you for being you! Can’t wait for the coming decades to look forward to! Much love!

[@judithgoldfine3110]

Such honesty and wise words. If it wasn't for Shinedown, I may not have made it through this last decade. I know many fans out there feel the same way. Can't wait to see what they do in the next decade but I'm def down for it all!

[@allant2742]

I (we) connect with this band in such a deep and personal level. When I go to a Shinedown show, it's like going to hangout and reconnect with family. How I feel while listening to their music, is something that I look for in all the music that I listen to. Love all of you. THANK YOU!!

I’ve seen you guys live quite a few times now and I have to say you never disappoint. Biggest thing that I walk out thinking every time I see you is it’s amazing that they can always be so positive and make complete strangers feel loved. I’ve seen a lot of bands and then I’ve seen Shinedown.

[@tfox8413]

Small venues are some of my favorite, I can get up close, and it feels so much more intimate. Being short it really helps when I can actually see the show too. But some of my favorite shows have been at the Varsity, in Baton Rouge. Also, we bought 4 shows that got canceled before we ever actually got to see y’all. It was so unreal, but I have probably seen y’all that many times or more now. What a journey.

[@krispana3235]

when i try to write something, because i am a amateur writer, Shinedawn is that what i need. Their emotionality is perfect. For me Smith i s the great rock singer in the world. may be the same level like Freddie Mercury

I'm thankful that even someone my age can still find rock and roll that can be understood . Shonedown you rock.

[@destransportation6761]

@Eric Bass....1st and foremost...I love Shinedown with all my heart. You and Zach, Brent & Berry ARE SHINEDOWN in my eyes. I watched this today and the love you have for UK shows are very respected. My GOD man....Download is the ultimate for a Rockstar. However, I think you might have overlooked some of the KC (Kansas City) shows where you all shined-down. Man, I have listened to and been a fan of Shinedown since before you or Zach were in the band. Shinedown back then showed up at our beloved radio station without haven eaten a meal in 3-days since they were so broke. Our beloved Program Director Bob Edwards made sure they got a solid meal and I'm sure he made sure they had a few $$$ in their pocket. It's a Midwest thing. Maybe some love where love is due is required. Regardless..you gents are loved and will be a fan forever!!!....DW

No matter how I change and how Shinedown changes, and through bands that I started and stopped listening to in that time, I always come back to their music. I've been privileged to see 2 live shows both my favorites of the many lives show's I've seen, but this video just solidifies my love for these guys.
