SHINEDOWN ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO - 9/5

Submitted By: Ronda\n\nJust wanted to ask...how many people out there were able to catch Brent and Barry on 107.7 the Bone ... ( a Bay Area station )... before they played in S.F. later that night? ...Sorry , but without any outside help what so ever....Brent has a God given voice that sooner or later all you disbelievers will someday realize....a gift...I guess you could call it. Leno who? See them live and then get back to us. Just to let you guys know..(if you happen to read this)....Steven Seaweed said to me that it was one of the best interviews he's ever done ...He really digs your voice....the band's sound as a whole and we both agreed that you all seem pretty down to Earth and sincere...I know that I'm going to be a fan for life... drumstick girl from NorCal Oh...Yeah....by the way anyone caught Shinedown on MTV and the intro to Road Rules ? Have fun in Europe with Disturbed !!!!! Come back to the Bay Area as soon as you can! Stay True !!!

The modulation of the voices, the raw hard rock sound, lyrics very powerful. The whole package and I used to work in the biz. You brought some faith back that not every band just does covers of older songs. Well done lads!

These idiots that keep saying "sell-outs" are morons without jobs and still sport mullet hair-do's. I have seen them live 3 times with various acts and they always sound awesome! My only complaint is their needs to be a little less "chatting" with the crowd between songs at their concerts. Take a cue from Shawn Morgan or Aaron Lewis and just make quick comments at your shows and let your wonderful music, lyrics, and performance do the talking. Shinedown needs to do more stuff like Leno as they are primed to shoot to super stardom with this cross-over type album. Capitalize on it now!!! For crying out loud I am seeing Cory and Slip Knot all over MTV, etc...FULL COURT PRESS with this album guys! Keep it up and can't wait to see you in Sioux Falls in a week!

Submitted By: Tracy\n\nFor those of you who think Shinedown lip sang on leno needs to go see one of their shows cause I have been a fan since day one and have been to numerous shows and they sound great everytime. Brent your voice is exceptional! Thanks for once again an awesome performance last night in anaheim, its been a while. Thank you

Submitted By: Boo\n\nDidn't catch you guys on Leno because I had tickets to see you perform at the House of Blues in Las Vegas that night. When i purchased my tickets in July, the show was scheduled for Friday, September 5th. My friend and I took the night off from work to see you play. We show up at the venue only to be told that the show was rescheduled for Sunday the 7th. Neither one of us could make that show. We've seen you play four shows here in Vegas and were really looking forward to seeing you again. Needless to say we were truly disappointed...

Submitted By: MCHolley\n\nShinedown, I know there had to be a good reason for the lip sync job on Leno - can youy clear the air and let us all know. It was my first exposeure to the group, love the song, but wanna know why I didn't get to hear what you sound like live. Thanks

Submitted By: Jessica\n\nSo the Leno lipsync job sold some albums and gained you new fans, great, fantastic, but was it really worth losing the respect of your already existing fans? Anyone wanna buy an autographed Shinedown CD? Don't want mine anymore :-<

Submitted By: Ronda\n\nAfter meeting you guys in S.F. (the drumstick girl from 107.7 the Bone) and rockin' out at the show...I couldn't wait to catch you guys on Leno. Just as I expected ....another outstanding performance! Wishing you all best in the upcoming year...and please hurry on back to the Bay Area. Stay True ~ ronda

Submitted By: ben\n\nof course they sounded awesome, it was straight off the album, he wasn't even singing. great performance guys, i haven't seen lip-synching that good for ages.

Submitted By: Sturgis Mary\n\nDidn't see your email heads up about Leno until Saturday. Any chance that the video of your Leno appearance could be posted on your website? So bummed we missed it!! Please come back to Orlando FL soon!!

Submitted By: Pamela M.\n\nNever heard of you til Leno last night. Awesome performance!!! I bragged about you at work today! Am a new fan, and am also from Jax area. Way to go!!!! Sorry I hadn't heard of you before!!!!

Submitted By: Mike Ferguson\n\nI know this makes me the oddball--but I'd never heard of the band before the Leno show. First of all--it was hands down THE performance of the year; one of the best TV rock performances I ever seen. Vocals where state-of-the-art perfection. However, that achievement was JUST bested--I got the CD this morning and it's likewise an INSTANT classic in my vast collection. I've not even tracked the whole thing and it's lapping the field as the most exciting, most enjoyable album of the year. In a world where screamo is enjoying a success I will NEVER understand, Shinedown simply put, restored hard rock.

Submitted By: Ann\n\nWow- finally somebody with talent as a guest on leno. Your vocals are wonderfull. I'm listening to some other songs now and some of your music is a little on the heavy side for my taste but I still think you guys were great!!!! I don't know how long you have been around but this might be your big break when others hear how good you are.

Submitted By: Karin\n\nHad not heard of you until seeing you on Leno last night. I was blown away, so was my 19 year old daughter. Have just bought 3 albums.

Submitted By: Jackie\n\nLoved you on Leno! I've got to buy some of your music. Come up to Lake Tahoe...we'd love to see you here.
