Shinedown, Acoustic at the Chameleon Options

[WaiterAtCliftons]

Well last night, FM97 here in Lancaster did a promotion and had Shinedown play 5 songs at the Chameleon acoustically for V.I.P's only which my girlfriend counted like 37 people there so it was a nice small crowd. I got in at the last minute. My mother works for the hotel that they stayed at last night and actually met their manager. She told him how much of a fan I was and there I was, going to the show. Only Brent and Jasin played which was totally cool. They started with "Shed Some Light" then the other four were Burning Bright, Save Me, 45, and I Dare You. They talked for a lil while between songs and interacted with the crowd which was nice. The songs sounded awesome and of course Brent is the man....he makes me jealous I only wish I could sing as good as him. After the show was over they came back out and signed pictures and took pictures with everyone...it sucked I forgot my camera in the rush to get there URG. I wish I had some pics to show. Anyway I just figured I had to rub it in to all the Shinedown fans on the board

I tried to win tickets to that and didn't! Fucking contest shows! I hate it when the real fans are left out because of some stupid radio contest! At least someone that was a big fan got to go. It sounds like it was very cool. I would have loved to have heard them acoustic, I'm sure I would have had goosebumps. Hell they give me goosebumps when they are plugged in. Also cool that you got to meet them. It's funny the first time I saw them they were opening for 3DD, who I hate, but I went to see Tantric who was the second opening band and I was so impressed with Shinedown that I went out to the merch booth to buy their cd. The entire band just happened to be standing there. What are the odds that they would pick the merch booth right outside of where I was sitting? So I bought the cd and got it signed on the spot. What a great introduction to the band, eh?

I've met Brent again since and he is such a nice and down to earth guy. Have I ever mentioned that I love this band?! I'm so pissed that I didn't get to see this show. Thanks for the review!
