Have you ever wanted to make someone watch your favorite TV show, or maybe your preferred movie? Or how about making someone attend your favorite restaurant? The reason you do it is because you love whatever you are advertising and you want people to pay attention to it. However, sometimes for whatever reason, people don’t seem to care what you have to say. Or you feel like you are on an island by yourself screaming and no one hears you.
Well this has been my experience in trying to get folks to recognize the extreme talent of the band Shinedown. So to get your attention, I will cheat a little and demonstrate to you their talent by showing you a video of them covering the classic U2 song “One.”

(Folks, please scroll to the “10th” video-”One” and click play as the embedding has been disabled by the user)

Now that I have your attention, I implore you to take a chance on this band. Clearly this is an acoustic song and all their songs are not like this. They have three studio albums- “Leave A Whisper,” “Us and Them” and “Sound of Madness.” The “Sound” is their latest CD and in my opinion is flawless. They are touring again and will hit the Tri-State area this spring. Specifically at the New York Fillmore at Irving Plaza on Tuesday March 31st. Tickets are on sale now through Live Nation.
