Shinedown Update from Brent
04.11.2008

Hi everyone.

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I wanted to reach out to all of the Shinedown fans myself and let you know what's going on firsthand. We just heard about Jasin's recent troubles in Jacksonville, and our thoughts and prayers are with him. A lot has happened this past year and there have been some changes within the band that we've been meaning to tell you about. I love Jasin like a brother, we all do - he'll always be family and we hope all of the best for him, but, at this time, he's no longer with us in Shinedown. This all went down awhile ago, and I'm sorry to break this news today. I realize that this isn't the best timing, but with stuff like this, there really isn't ever a good time. We just felt like we couldn't wait any longer and had to let you all know. We've brought an old friend into SD - Nick Perri. Nick's an amazing guitarist and we've known him forever from our days on the road with Silvertide (many of you were probably at those shows and remember him too). We also have a new bass player - Eric Bass. Just a fantastic musician and all around great guy - we can't wait for you to meet him. And you will very soon - we're hitting the road next month. I'm also happy to report that the new album is finished and we're so excited to share it with all of you. Its called The Sound Of Madness and will be out this summer. Please stay tuned to the website and radio stations out there... the first song is coming soon. Lastly, I just want to thank you again for all of your support. You're the best fans in the world and the reason we're even here. Without you, there is no Shinedown. Don't ever forget that - we definitely don't.

Oh man, I love Shinedown so much, I think I might cry. I really don't like it when bands change their line ups, especially not after I get to know and love them so much. First Brad (bass) left, and now Jasin, it'll never feel the same again. This totally sucks big time.

I am still unbelievably psyched for June 24th when their next album, The Sound of Madness, comes out, but this has completely stabbed me in the heart, I am SO upset right now.

For any fans of Shinedown (or even possible fans who're a bit curious), I recently compiled this for postage on the Shinedown forums. I reckon a few people here might like it too though...

Welcome to the Shinedown Acoustic Videography!

The Shinedown Acoustic Videography is a database of sorts, linking to all of the available video recorded acoustic performances by Shinedown. It is ordered by song and then the date, which should make it very easy for you to find what you want. I have also included the members of the band participating, and (if known) the venue at which it took place. To help improve this and make it as accurate as possible, please notify me of any missing performances that could be added, dead/wrong links, incorrect dates/venues, and anything else that you think would help.

I love Shinedown's acoustic performances, which is why I thought it would be a good idea to bring them all together in one place, making it really quick and easy for others to discover the wonders!

Thank you, and enjoy!

I particularly recommend checking out the performances at the BlackBooth, Brent's vocals were CRYSTAL that night. And there's plenty of good stuff from Club Fathom as well. Check 'em out!
