Shinedown

If you read my last blog, I wrote about the Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown concert that I attended. If you paid attention, you would have noticed that I only spoke of Breaking Benjamin, and said nothing about Shinedown. Well, Shinedown was the main event, so I have to say at least something about them. I have one word to describe Shinedown, freaking awesome! They were everything that you could want in a concert. It was loud, full of energy, great songs, and fire. That’s why Shinedown was the best concert that I have ever gone to.

            Now, I’ve gone to music concerts before. They were all great. The atmosphere is always amazing, everyone listening to the same music, and appreciating it just as much as you are. It’s a beautiful thing. Shinedown’s concert, was the exact same thing. It was a combination of loud and wild, and beautiful and soft. The lead singer also had us do something that I thought was totally amazing. He had the people who run all the lights, shut them all off. Then he told the crowd to take out their phone and turn on the flash light. This lit up the entire room just as if the lights were on! It is simple but amazing. It showed that all the people in there were contributing to the concert in their own way.

            Then there was the songs, oh my God the songs. They were all amazing! I only knew their most famous song, Second Chance, when I went into the concert. I came out wanting to get all of their songs on my phone so I could listen to them over and over again. They were so good in so many ways that it’s hard to explain. All I know is that when I heard a song that I liked, I fell in love. Each one has an amazing meaning and sound. The band did a great job of accompanying the singer and his amazing voice.

            Speaking of his voice, it is definitely a gift from God. It is so amazing. He is a baritone, but he’s also a low base, but he’s also a tenor. He can do all three ranges of guy singing, and he has a phenomenal sound. He could also change his voice so that it sounded like a completely different person. I was astonished at the fact of this.

            I would highly recommend this group for anyone. They have songs that appeal to everyone. They have hard core rock, meaning filled, soft and slow, inspirational, the whole shebang. I hope that everyone will look them up.

            I recommend the songs 45, I’ll follow you, second chance.
