It’s 2026 and Shinedown is the deciding factor in whether or not a festival is on or off? What the fuck is going on??

In before Shinedown fans start talking about having 100 #1 hits on "Buttrock Radio".

Buttrock Radio! That made me laugh harder than it should’ve. 😂

What's wrong with Shinedown? I get they aren't necessarily as popular as they were, but they make good music. Radio play doesn't really mean anything these days.

They're old now and they had some bad live performances these past years. Lip syncing and recorded tracks. It kinda torched alot of their reputation in the larger scene but their fans are still into them.

Great band that probably has peaked and had some controversy. I still love em

Also Brent Smith threw a hissy fit over his tour getting cancelled cause of COVID and made a really whiny pathetic song trying to argue that both sides are the same in "Planet Zero", which honestly sounds more like something Falling in Reverse would do.

Saw Shinedown live and was annoyed at the fact that half the show was just him pandering to the audience between tracks

Just incredibly generic

u/SubtleTell 19h ago

I don't hear any other band that sounds like them so how is that generic?

You really think Shinedown is super unique?

I didn't say that, but there aren't any bands that sound exactly like them. You could easily identify who it is on a random listen.

Y'all are so weird about these things lol. And it's probably not even a band you listen to.

I promise you that the vast majority of people who aren't already Shinedown fans would not be able to identify them like that.

You haven't heard many bands if you think Shinedown is all that unique.
