I am 65 years old and have been listening to music since Elvis began. (never really got into the Elvis thing) But then there was the Motown sound from Detroit. I have heard all of the voices from my teen years until now I have never gotten stuck in any time period of rock. I think it is called "progressive taste for music" Brett has one of the most distinctive and right-on voices I have ever heard. Their harmonies are beautiful and the music is tight well played and just the greatest. Your voices and instrument playing are right up there with what Shinedown considers their inspirations.

One of the few singers better live

The most bad-ass voice in rock.

it is so sad that such a wonderful performance gets only 728 views..which 50 of them are probably me watching over and over again..

I love Shinedown they r really good

Why haven't more people seen this incredible video. Best band ever

Brent was blessed with an amazing voice, capable of captivating thousands of people...and even more than that, songs like "Unity" are truly masterpieces when sang by him, highlighting the good things in this world. Every song by this band just amazes me everytime i listen. :)

Just found this Did the hair on my neck stand up, yes Is it a great track yes Is it raw passion yes I wish I had written it. They had me at tell my mother tell my farther. I am 56 and it hit a spot. From 8 to 80 bang on.

OMG! That's the greatest live I have ever heard. They're fucking amazing

Bad Ass Band! Shinedown Vocals Rock

i love this song

Shinedown!!!! The best rock band ever

Full body chills listening to this❤️

This man has the voice of an angel!!

Sound is on point! So consistent. Love this band.

This is such a good song! Wow!

2024… still listening to this song 😎🤘

Soundcheck of Madness

The people who invented Auto-Tune use his voice as reference to how notes should sound naturally

Awesome song and vocals.

He got so powerful voice. If I come to earth again and they ask me "Which voice you want to get one?" I definitely choose this one.

Some times u here that song that gives u such a blessing what this song does to me shinedown 4ever

God, his voice...

This never gets old, peace !

This is the sound of madness!

Bands play live performances over a backing track so it doesn't sound empty and can be heard clearer. As for the chorus, I think it's the album version along with live version. Is that bad? No, because what if his voice cracks or something? It's to guarantee perfection. 99% of bands do that, so don't hate Shinedown for doing something smart :P

I remember the first time I saw this song live in concert in Nampa Idaho! I was totally blown away!!

One of best natural vocalists out there today. Fact is the songs are extremely demanding on the vocal cords. Would like to see Shinedown around for years to come. Be sure to take that vacation time needed to stay in great health.

BRENT SMITH has always pride himself on performing live even better than the recordings.

A M A Z I N G

Shinedown are awesome live - and they don't need to lip synch.

perfect!!!!!!!! i love it!!!!! love shinedown!!!!

I can't wait to see them this May right here in Roanoke. Got the tickets yesterday, deffinently any show with Shinedown will be a great show.

I love this song

Damn, it sounds exactly like the studio version

PURE PERFECTION !!!!

High baritone, actually. He can pitch and boom within a span of a second. He does it repeatedly. and unlike the usual screamers that can pitch high notes, he can actually sing the notes in between too.Check the videos that are under "Brent Smith's voice range' and you will have sound and description.

9 people don't like it, Now I'm a fair man and respect their right to an opinion, as wrong as it is ! 😊

damn no autotune? thats how it should be in this modern world....

Sounds AWESOME!!!!

The guys are absolutely killing it !!!

Damn, so amazing and it’s 2018

Holy shit they sound great live!

GEEZ!! INSANE!!

Shinedown is the best

I just love this song one of my favorite Shinedown songs!

wow. breathtaking. wow cant believe how great this band is!

This means a lot to me emotionally because i let go of a lot of family relationships that were toxic!

Pff, Paramore and Shinedown keep suprising me with their Live permformances, just stunning

I loooove this

I listen too you 😮😮amazing..20 years 🎉baby I'm hooked. What ever you need I can't get headset needs loud enough.. You need to be heard loud. My daughter is in music industry

Just saw them in concert last night and Brent did in fact nail this song flawlessly. The only thing they did was use a second guitar player that wasn't on stage with them. The concert was in his hometown Knoxville, TN. The only song he didn't sing high notes on was 45. Power singers tend to do that strategically though to rest their voice during sets. They played a solid almost two hours show and virtually back to back songs. Brent Smith has a very well trained and strong voice to sing their music on tours like they do. It's easy to believe it's lip syncing but he's just that damn strong vocally. Especially back when this video was produced.

Florida produces great things

Great song 👍

Damn so good because this is live

awesome song+_+ wait concert in mOscow+

I love this band!

canf beat this band! always puts out great music

it makes me cry

Love this song too, great band :)

Sometimes prerecorded videos like this are done over and over which is why it's done with "lip syncing"... but Brent does NOT lip sync live.. and Lip sync, live or singing in the shower... the man has an amazing freakin voice!!!!! Get over yourselves with the negative criticism. Its boring.

Beautiful song.

Thank you family for the support and prayers 😌🙏💔🫰🙏🙏

Amazing

lov dat song

Voz perfecta, canción ideal... De mis favoritas!!!

That brett can sing diistinctive vocals great band

Yeah

very good band and tune

Sorry to disappoint you guys but the chorus and the bridge are playback, he sings a lower harmony to make it look like he's actually hitting those high notes but he's not. What you're hearing is the studio vocals ripped straight from the album. Still, he's got a great voice and I love their songs.

Coolio! 👍😊🎸

Adorable y hermoso Barry ❤❤

best job live was and is this one

Mr, smith I'm with all the way. Podia one

that note though

the best vocalist around at mo no contest

in my eyes is brent the best ever ;)

This is live, if you listen to this song and listen to the recordings you'd notice the difference. Bret Smith has an amazing voice and can sing this live no problem.

awesome

The man sings like he is a CD playing😮

I don't give a crap that there's back tracks or they're lip syncing I'm just in it for the music which is great by the way

AWESOME BEATIFULL THE BEST :,)

my gosh they sound the exact same on cd and live.

not one OF the best voices on earth, HE HAS GOT THE FUCKING BEST VOICE ON EARTH !!!

❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Close but I still have to say M.Shadows is number one. Brent is up there and so is Adam from Three Days Grace. All awesome singers. Not enough of singers like this around today seriously.

my eyes are open wide? more like my mouth is open wide

This is not live, no way. And I love this band

I can't believe this is live that's ridiculous

If you think the chorus isn't auto tuned and can't hear the loop you aren't listening very well. I've seen Shinedown live and have always enjoyed their earlier stuff, but he is not the singer he used to be.

Una gran balada.

Agree about Baritone topping out at G3 or A3 and the song has a ton of Bb3 and tops out at C4 on the chorus. But my point is just what you said, and I quote "I've noticed that every live show they have online cuts to a wide shot on every high note. As a tv director I find that weird." You nailed the point I was making. They've resorted to recordings mislabeled as 'live' or intermixed the lower vocal live stuff he can do with recordings. If you watch true live performances they're horrible.

please come to Thailand

best song #lyrics

Yeah, to add in some of the background orchestral arrangements....

This is how I see it. I do believe this is a live performance; however I do think the mics they're using are making the vocals sound perfect and spotless, and yes there is no doubt the back track is playing however, I think Brent is just singing along with the back track. I still enjoyed this a lot and I love Shinedown. Now, if you would like to have a professional and adult convo about your opinion please I encourage you to please comment your argumentP:S I will delete any childish comments please guys be adults.

whether or not they edited parts of this video...i honestley dont give a shit, ive been a fan of these guys for a long time and have seen them live, they sound great no matter what

Sounds just like the video

Okay so somebody direct me to a video of Brent actually hitting the high notes without the playback? I've watched several of there performances of this song and none of them is he hitting those high notes live or can he hit those high notes without the playback? Anyway, great song though. timeless. never gets old.
