[edit] Entire Rewrite

This article clearly needs to be entirely rewritten, as it's currently a glowing review of the band. Anyone with the knowledge to do so, please do.--Elmer Clark 01:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


Done and done. It seems extremly mindless for someone to ignore the rules, take advantage of the "Anyone Can Edit" concept, and post their own personal opinion on a website meant for information viewing. Vollman or whoever you are that has posted such a thing, keep in mind that if you want to post an opinion, please do it somewhere else. User:zel_rogero] 04:19 PM 25 November 2005

Rewrote it, yet again. :) --Discharger12 20:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3,500 albums a day?

Is this a valid claim? Should there be a footnote verifying this?


[edit] Who has seen Shinedown in concert?

I just seen them in concert @ Piere's in Ft. Wayne, IN. They headlined with Seether in the "Winterfresh SnoCore Tour" There were four bands total who played. I had never heard any of the 4 bands music before and after one performance of Shinedown I was totally hooked! I went out and bought both of their cd's and their dvd, too! I totally recommend seeing them live in concert and buying their cd's and dvd! Does anyone know where I can buy any of their t-shirts or hoodies? I can't find anthing of theirs in all the local stores where you would see them around here. Have a great day! Iloveredheads 06:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

--I couldn't go, as I'm not 21 yet. :( Piere's sucks. --Rattletrapmusicman 19:36, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shinedown live

Shinedown rocked at the Sno-Core tour. Seether (of course) sucked and a lot of people left after Shinedown finished up, heh, but that's alright. Flyleaf and Halestorm were both really good. I have to say though, Shinedown is one of those bands that's better live than they are on CD -- seeing them live gives you the opportunity to get the full effect.

[edit] Live From the Inside

Someone deleted the picture I uploaded even though I fixed the copyright issue.... can someone fix that for me? --Discharger12 22:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Southern post-grunge

I hear nothing "Southern" in Shinedown's music. And only a vague post-grunge sound. This statement needs to be verified with a source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.91.104.103 (talk) 13:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

I hear "Simple Man", "45", and "Heroes" as Southern Rock tunes. Especially "Simple Man", even if it was from another Rock band. -Goldenfox17-

not sure what they mean by post-grunge, [they labeled breaking benjamin as the same thing] but i do hear a bit of southern-ness in their music Inuxshinedown 01:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christian rock?

The beginning of the article states that they are a "Christian Hard Rock" band. I've never heard of them being a christian band before. In addition to that some of their lyrical themes seem to contradict this.For example, "Lady so Divine" has been hinted at is a metaphorical ode to LSD by their lead singer.

hmm never heard that before . i've gone over both their cd's , and i havent heard them curse once, so i guess you could say "christian rock" i mean, it's nopt like it'll bother fans or anything Inuxshinedown 01:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LOVE THEM!

anybody else notice a couple similarities with this band and seether? either way they're awesome, but still Inuxshinedown 01:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] picture

does anyone got a picture of them, if someone should put it in —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrongguy (talkcontribs) 18:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the Zach Myers issue

It has been recently reported that Zach Myers is a member of Shinedown after being with the band for 3 years now . Any and all updates should wait till the *2008* album release —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.64.49.175 (talk) 21:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page Update / Revamp

This morning I have revamped the page, subcategorizing and amending the biography, adding dates to the members section which will let readers see the duration of peoples tenure with the band, reworking the display of the album information, placing much of the trivia information into other, new sections and also adding some references. Please let me know what you think; I'm fairly new to editing articles, and this is my biggest job yet, so it would be cool to know that I've done things well, and more importantly, correctly. --Lovemonk.
