![]() The music video to "Devour" is set in a music studio for most of the video, where the band is performing the song, with various stunts being shown throughout the video. But when I came back to the US, I looked at everything that had gone on, and I remembered a lot of the soldiers and found out that some of them didn’t make it home." Video I talked to the soldiers and they talked to me about what was going on and why they were still there some of them knew why they were, but a lot of them didn’t, and they would talk to me openly about it. I hope that he will hear the song and that he'll want to sit down and talk with me about it, I'd like to ask him a couple questions."įifteen years after the release of the song, Smith said: "While I was in Fallujah, which is the deadliest city in Iraq, and played for the military. ![]() And what I thought of what he's done over the time that he was president. So I wrote this song called 'Devour' about the end of George W. "I looked at a lot of people that were there, men and women from all different kinds of walks of life, all different races, all nationalities, and there was like a lot of them that were really desensitized, they were tired. Smith wrote the song after the band took a trip to Iraq. "Devour" is an anti- Iraq War song that criticizes the presidency of George W. 1 song on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Vocalist Brent Smith said that the single was "a letter to the President," and that it is about Smith's distaste towards George W. The track landed online and at multi-format rock radio outlets nationwide on May 5. The song was released as the first single in promotion of the band's third studio album, The Sound of Madness. But if you look at the histories, Shinedown has become more mature with their music.while Nickelback has progressively degenerated into crap." Devour" is a song by American rock band Shinedown. I have to agree that there are shitty bands in the group Shinedown has been unfairly placed in: Hinder, Nickelback, etc. I hardly ever listen to mainstream radio, because it is not a good gauge on the diversity of bands. ![]() It's closed-minded and immature to judge a band based on what you hear on the radio. "Sin With a Grin" is aimed at thanking someone for making them fucked up in the head, and giving them motivation. ![]() "If You Only Knew" is obviously about missing someone. Most of the songs deal with longing, and being forgotten. You have the radio-ready singles like "Devour" and "The Sound of Madness," but the rest of the album is nothing like those songs. Their latest album, The Sound of Madness, is probably their most advanced work to date. They display a good range from the "generic hard rock" you guys despise to slow, melodic, heavy stuff. "Beyond the Sun" is my personal favorite from this CD. For those of you that judge them based on the songs played on mainstream radio (that's no reason to fairly judge any band), Us And Them offers plenty of songs with heart and emotion. That song connected with me for some reason. But when they released "Burning Bright," I was hooked. Their first single, "Fly From the Inside," wasn't my cup of tea. Shinedown has consistently been one of my favorite bands since they came onto the scene a few years ago. It's okay Sign Guy, I'm here to back you up. In all honesty, I wish their tour bus would drive off of a cliff. I didn't know who they were going in, and wish I didn't coming out. I wanted to slap the girl that talked me into going for talking me into it. I found myself begging for it to end, and it lasted forever. He rambles on about bullshit I couldn't care less about the whole show. They have nothing to offer musically, the lead singer is annoying and nowhere near interesting. Shinedown should in all honesty kill themselves. Furthermore, the other two bands on the card for the evening were a thousand times better. When I went to see them (because a girl wanted to go and she is hot) I knew it was a bad idea when the majority of the crowd was in high school. I am disappointed that people buy their albums, and am shocked to find that they have educated fans. I feel that Shinedown owes me $30 for the ticket I bought for seeing them and another $30 for having to put up with their terrible bullshit show.
