What an incredible ministry...the honesty and the rawness of the Sounds of Madness Album is just incredible. Im sure you all are reaching millions...you reached me and got my attention. Its amazing that we are all so different yet we all long for the same thing..LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE!!! Keep it up, guys! Be Blessed!

I absolutely love this song, I don't think anyone could ever do it better than this. There are alot of talented artist out there but not all of them can pull this off. You have the perfect voice. I think of my younger son when I listen to this song, so thank you.

Amazing cover of Simple Man and just a gee wizz statement and anyone correct me but the woman in the video is Eddy Van Zandt's daughter who dated I believe the guitarist and the little girl in the video is their daughter holding a picture of Eddy which always gives me the chills. And Eddy's wife did some production? work for shinedown.

You do one helluv job singing this song. I'm like
54 and I was raised on Lynard Skynard. I never thought anyone would match Ronnie singing this song but I got goosebumps the first time I heard it.
You have one helluv a voice. Rock on brother!!!!!

My personal opinion...Shinedown's version is a lot better than the original version (no offense to Lynard Skynard!) I just love the emotion and power Brent puts into this song! It's so amazing :)

Ok, I'll admit to being an old timer. Let's get that out of the way. Now, the Shinedown 'cover' of this seems like it should actually be the original and the original should be the cover. This is incredible.

This song already brought back so many memories and meant so much to me that I never imagined it could be any closer to my heart than it already was until I heard Shinedowns cover...and the hair on the back of my neck stayed raised for the rest of the night......Great Job Brent!!! I have no words to describe wat your music means to me...every song feels as if you have lived my life and know exactly wat I have gone thru and have felt the same feelings that I have....that you are singing directly to me..Great Job on all the music you have made come to life and as long as you keep rocking out I will keep listening and buying...I cannot wait to see you guys in Oklahoma City on Friday!!!!!

This song got me hooked on you guys. Now I cant get enough. I love the energy. Saw you guys perform in Charlotte it was by far the best concert ever hope to see you perform again soon...

MommaBear's picture

When I first heard I had no words to describe the power and emotion brought out by you guys.....I have listened and watched numerous and times and still.......no words can justify.....Great Job.....Love ya guys

I saw several people around me at Mohegan Sun crying when you performed this song ... what a beautiful song!

April K's picture

Amazing!!!!! Your live performance is just as AMAZING!

Kathy KAT Bailey's picture

Dearest Brent, hi. Remember when I told You that in my little humble opinion that, "the simply simple way that You sing "Simple Man" IS SO VERY incredible??!! Well, I hope, (& pray, too), that 'Lynard Skynard' IS VERY proud of the way You sing it!! I know I would be if I were Them!! I want to tell You also, (in my ol' little opinion), and this is NO-thing more than JUST a compliment to You,... 'that You look very good with red hair too'!! MANY BLESSINGS & MUCH "LOVE & PEACE" for & to You & Your Family!!! Frm: SassyKAT

Saw them last night in Philly and they were fantastic!!! I first got into Shinedown when I heard Simple Man on the juke box in a bar. I ask the bartender who this was and she said Shinedown. After that I started checking out their other songs I thought WOW their music is great.
