Brent love you guys, but i was wondering when it comes time for a video for a song. Do you already have an idea of what you want it to be like or does it come to you as you are writing the song?

Hey Brent, It took me a little bit to come up with exactly what to say, how to say it, and why. And I never really figured that out yet.But I did want to say just how much you guys mean to me. How much I've been inspired by your music. It has helped me through so much and I want to thank you and every other member who put this together. I was thankful enough to go to one of the shows, and it was just absolutely one of the best moments of my life, to be able to go see the people that I look up to and am inspired by, create the music I love. But enough of my sappy talk, I wanted to ask: When the album will be out? And when's the next time you'll be touring? Love, Jessica

Wad up Brent. I just wanted to say thank you for all the years of the gift that you have been given and sharing that with us. Every single song you have written has a special place in my heart and soul and after 7 years I finally got to tell you that in person in Asheville NC April 1st. And making the trip ATL Sun. to see you guys the third this year. So thank you again and finally mt question lol. Are y'all gonna be using the C.O.M set Sun. or the one you used in Asheville?

1) What is it like to be on stage in front of thousands of fans? 2) When will the live DVD be out? 3) What inspires you as a musician?

1) When you return in Europe? Hope Soon. 2) Will be the new album on the style of the recent tracks (Her Name is Alice & Diamond Eyes) ?

Hi Brent (aka that guy with that amazing voice). :) (1) So, after the acoustic tour, you're not going to be back on the road til 2012, right?! And I heard you guys want to do another Carnival Of Madness in 2012. . I'd just like to know when you plan on coming to Europe? BEFORE the summer / COM 2012 or AFTER it (so in like fall 2012)? ... or is that too early to ask..? (2) Also: Will the new DVD be available for your fans overseas, too? Much love and take care, Valerie (aka that huge SD fan from Germany that gave you the shirt for your son. :))

1.) What did you want to be when you were growing up & how did you end up in music? 2.) What do you do to get out of the musician's "funk" we all experience ever so often - when you and the music aren't on speaking terms...you know, when becomes that 4-letter word (w-o-r-k)? ;) ...and of course I gotta throw a home-town plug in here just like everybody else: next time y'all get some time off you otta come up here to Ohio and jam with some of my buddies & me! We're all local pros, so the music's awesome (we won't drool on ya unless you want us to). LOL But we're all a buncha rednecks, too,so it's always a good time. We just hang out, knock back a few, and play everything under the sun from bluegrass to Metallica & everywhere in between, depending on who's in what mood. Come on up...everybody bring the fam...there's enough people to have a blast but not so many that you'd be overrun with fans & can't kick back/be normal (whatever that is). We'll see if a couple of good ol' boys can handle us Yankees. ;) Firestone Country Club is here, too...home of the World Golf Championships, one of world's top 10 best cc's - music & golf...sounds like vacation to me! =D ~Jessica Vaughan~ LivingDedGrrl on Twitter Liberty Valance on Facebook

So what about the next album? Are you writing new letters? Can't wait to see another composition, another album... oh God! *-*

Thank you so much for doing what you do and having such amazing and meaningful songs. You guys have helped influence me to decide to go to college for recording arts. My hope is to one day help a band that has good music and good intentions make the record that will help them achieve their dream, or even maybe one day get into management. I personally am involved in motorsports, I have traveled with monster trucks, motorcross stunt guys, dirt track trucks, and I race lawnmowers, so I was wondering that, when you are on the road, or at home, do you like doing or watching motorsports of any kind?

Brent has such an amazing voice, I want to know what he does to protect it over the long term. I want him to sing to me for years to come! The heavy touring schedule really puts a strain on some artists after a while, and Shinedown tours more than most. Take care of yourself buddy, we need you! Also, can you please get the Shinedown Nation spell check fixed so that it doesn't say "Shinedown" is a misspelled word? It's not only A word, its THE word!

This is Iris's older sister Katie. She have up her sweet sixteen to see you guys play here in Alaska. I was wondering if you could say (or sing :D) happy birthday to her. That (plus seeing you guys I'm concert lol) would totally make up for not having a party. And I do have a question. Have you always had such an amazing voice or did you take classes at one point?

Hi Brent, I just wanted to say that your music has helped me become the person I am today! I was wondering what wondering what advice do you have for aspiring singers and songwriters? Thank you so much for being a person that I can look up to. I love you! Elisabeth

Hey Brent. I just want to know if you have an idea on what you guys are gonna name your next cd? Thanks for tweeting with me last week. Rock on brother! See you on Nov. 13th and 15th.

Your voice is quite a gift, so thank you for sharing it with us! You have spent so much time on the road, and you really give all you have at every single show. How are you able to keep your voice in good shape show after show? I am also wondering if you would comment a bit on what we can expect from the next album. I heard an interview in which you said it was going to be totally different - any other details you would be willing to share? Looking forward to the Saginaw, MI show!!

Aside from music and family , what is something that you truly enjoy, when you have a little personal "Brent" time?

I don't think my last comment took :( I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you guys that you are AWESOME! I am looking forward seeing you on Nov 22nd in Delaware :) keep rocking ! I do have a question - how do you purchase meet and greet tickets? I never seen an option for it anywhere and it would be so awesome to meet you guys!? that's if you are doing one at the Delaware show. Amy

Brent - thank you for sharing your passion with the world, Shinedown's songs really hit home for me and your vocals are just amazing... How do you keep yourself motivated from album to album? :) Thanks so much! (And visit Sioux Falls! :) )
cps0713's picture

First - thanks for the acoustic tour to tide us over until the next album! Looking forward to seeing you guys in Charlotte! Now my question relates to your new album...I'm sure that you are always writing songs and all of them have special meaning to you - how do you narrow the field and decide which songs actually make the new album?
lynn_d's picture

On Apocalyptica's "Not Strong Enough" your vocals are beyond comparison, absolutely brilliant alongside those strong cello fellows. Will there be a video coming out? And if so, when...
teetah's picture

What can we expect from the next album? I know it will be nothing less than awesome! What do you hope to get out of your acoustic tour? Do you know which venue you will be taping for the dvd? Thanks! ~Jes

Love you Shinedown. You guys are amazing. Even my 6 yr old daughter loves you. My question is: When are you doing a concert in Fayetteville, Ar? If you do at all?
Stacy ShinerGirl's picture

Hi Brent! I thought of another question :). Have you thought about doing a Ustream webcast for one of the acoustic shows? Or maybe part of the show??
