Zach Myers

The concert in Lincoln, NE was my first time seeing SHINEDOWN and it was by far the best live show experience I have ever had! In all my years I have seen many concerts, some good, and some bad. But this one will be playing in my mind and soul for a very long time.

It was also a pleasure to meet the band during the meet and greet prior to the show. I hope Eric’s ankle is healing up for him; it most definitely had no effect on his playing, as he sounded awesome! You meet so many I doubt you would remember us. Older guy with my lovely lady and daughter who was going to her first concert…she loved it! She wanted to say thank you to Barry for the drumstick! (Hint – the almost worn out white “Put your hands in the air” T-shirt? Brent noticed it)

It is a real pleasure to see and hear a band who does understand the difference between rock music being treated as a “genre” and to really live thru the sound, lyrics, and the story. Rock music is forged by places, times, and sounds of our lives. To those who don’t understand it you will usually get the response of “It’s too loud” or “I can’t understand the words” we’ll all you have to do is let your heart and mind open up to listen.

Brent, Barry, Eric, and Zach you guys rock! You have combined many facets of rock music to provide a strong driving sound and energy level to your fans while staying down to earth and sincere about common people’s life struggles. Well Done! The four of you make up the four cornerstones of the band called SHINEDOWN. Where each of you bring an individual and unique skill set that when combined…JUST FUCKING ROCKS!

Well in closing I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful concert and to let you know that even a fifty year old can still have a kick ass time in the front row, against the rail, front of the Pit! Looking forward to your next performance, rock on and good fortune to you all!

Happy Birthday from us in Jackson, TN

you guys are amazing, dont ever change :)

HOpe to see you guys soon in concert and if you guys ever decide to come close to Jackson,TN give me a shout out.

You are soooo awesome at playing guitar!!!!!! Hope you guys come to Canada so i can hear you in concert. :)

Zach, I am looking forward to seeing you guys when you play at the Diamond Ballroom in OKC. My son's band, ATRUS, has a song called Stainless that I think you would be impressed with. I connects in the same ways that Bully does sending a strong message to not be unkind to each other. Check them out, they would appreciate your personal comments on their about their three new songs on facebook or reverbnation. See you in OKC. Love ya, Julie

Good afternoon,
I'm planning a Relay for Life for the University of Memphis. Relay for Life is an event to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The Relay not only raises money for cancer research but also celebrates the fight many people have won against cancer as well as remembers those whom we have lost to the disease. The relay will be held on the night of April 13th. Relay for Life is truly an amazing event, as a cancer survivor I have been to several. However, this is the first Relay for Life at our campus and a lot of people never even heard of the event so it's going to be difficult to lure people out. I want this event to be a success more than anything as well as make it a tradition for the University of Memphis. I am hoping you guys will help, especially since this is Zach's hometown. To be honest I do not know what I can pay or offer the band to come to this event, but this is for an amazing cause and would appreciate any help you can provide me with. If you have any questions feel free to call or email me anytime.

Why is Shinedown not playing in Memphis or any TN city? We want to see you guys so bad!!!! I will beg if I have to!!! :( Will you be adding more dates? My kids and I really want to see you guys!!!!!!!! Thank you for the amazing music!!! Thank you also for being so patient and down to earth....last year you stopped at the Mall and took pictures w my kids...you made there year!!!!

I love listening to your guitar. I used to just listen to the music and sing along and never think about the individual musicians. Now I've learned that you hear the coolest music when you listen to each musicians part of the song. I love your guitar playing. P.S. I'm a major Allen Collins fan which is where I learned to listen and watch the guitarists. Few can kick ass like Allen does on his Freebird solo. Keep Rockin'.

Hey Zach! This is Brooke and I'm a big fan of Shinedown, but that isn't why i'm commenting. I just want to tell all of you guys of the band, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Your newest song 'Bully' is what I've been looking for.
My cousin, Montana Lance, committed suicide at school almost two years ago, at the age of nine. I am a victim of bullying also and this song made me cry in a wonderful way. I am just so thankful that you guys made this song because I feel like every time someone hears this that maybe it could keep just a single person from dying like my cousin did. Montana's anniversary is on the 21st of this month and I have been struck with a way to get the word out, but when I heard this song I realized one of my favorite bands had done just that.
Thank you, once again and I wish the best for Shinedown!
Sincerely,
Your fan

Okay I see you have a bull dog. I am Joyce Worth I work or volunteer for an animal rescue shelter. I am going to do a dvd to get the word out about our shelter. The song What a shame. how can I go about kinda of using the music but chaining the words for rescue animals. I have made lyrics of my own. We are a non profit org. Just want to know what I have to do to use this. would love you guys to sing. but can't afford that. If you can't help thanks anyways

Saw your performance last night at Penny Road Pub. One word - PHENOMENAL!!! Thank you for an awesome night. Like you, I didn't want it to end. I'm lookng forward to the Shinedown tour next year and another opportunity to see you perform. Thank You - Thank You - Thank You!!!

Zach, thanks so much for stopping in Toledo, Ohio the other night. It made a really bad, stressful week SO much better. I loved the whole thing and I'm really thinking about dragging my mom out to Lima, Ohio just to see the show again. lol. (btw: I'm sure you'd remember me. The girl who commented about how tall you were, and the first in line to talk to you. lol.) Well, Happy Thanksgiving! And I hope to see you soon. :)

Happy birthday to Zach! 28 years of Zach Myers!
Cant wait till next year!

Hey Zach, very cool to see you are so in to the fans, I read here that you enjoy blues and soul music, I feel you on that one! So,wondering if you listen to Kenny Wayne Shepperd(freaking amazing player), Stevie Ray and such? Who are some of your favorites? I could possibly check out, maybe squeeze something in between my Shinedown, I do love to mix it up some times! Have an awesome day Zakk Mylde-Zachula! O-kaaaaay! Robin
