Shinedown is probably the best live sounding band I can think of though. Look at any of their performances on youtube and its really close to the studio stuff When I saw them in May, Brent was struggling to approximate the high notes.

I don't know why Shinedown is still a supporting act with a new album out. But whatever, they run circles around Buckcherry and Saving Abel. And I love A7X too but I just couldn't go see that show without losing alot of respect for myself. Dangit Nicholas is rubbing off on me, now I'm being negative lol

Why would you lose respect for yourself? Why would anyone care if you saw them?

Why would you lose respect for yourself? To go see two bands I love and have to listen to two that I have no respect for. Why would anyone care if you saw them? I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure where you got that from.

I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure where you got that from. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you meant you would lose respect for yourself if you saw Avenged Sevenfold, since that was the band mentioned in that particular sentence. I assumed you might be embarassed because a lot of scene bands people usually get embarassed to see because of the possible tween factor involved, but then again, Avenged is probably not very likely to have that problem. Maybe the dude factor, but not the tween factor.

My A7X show would have been Sunday night, too. It was a festival show, and supporting acts include Buckcherry, Shinedown, Candlebox, 10 Years, Saving Abel, Five Finger Death Punch, Red, Black Tide, Puddle of Mudd, and Ween. If not for my personal interest level for every last one of those supporting acts ranging from "Take 'em or leave 'em" to "Would rather draw attention to myself not paying attention to their performance", I probably would have bought those tickets. Furthermore, if I hadn't just read about these cancellations, I'd have made the three-hour drive just to find out the ones I paid to see aren't playing.

The only ones I REALLY want to see are Red, Shinedown, and A7X. 10 Years would be cool to see too though. I would survive the Candlebox and PoM sets just because I know a handful of songs from each. I haven't heard of Ween, but the rest would just bore me.

Yeah, I have no idea how Ween ended up in that lineup. The were the most recent addition too, so it's not like they were tricked into involvement in this. I'd probably enjoy their set more than any of the 'other' bands.
I'd already seen Ween during Lollapalooza '06, though, so they didn't make or break this supporting cast.

Ween are largely hit or miss, but hit enough and with enough awesomeness and often hilarity to make them very worthwhile. It's mind boggling realizing how much musical talent they actually possess and half the time they just end up squandering it on profane nonsense. Sometimes extremely catchy to boot.
There's a lot of Frank Zappa floating around in there. The Butthole Surfers and early Beck are their closest peers I can think of.

I'd be surprised if it did. A little too boring for Modern for me.

I Dare You is still my favorite single of theirs. I think I'd now consider this my second favorite of their singles. Still holding out hope that "Breaking Inside" will be third, that would EASILY be my favorite of their singles if it were released, but then again so would "Sound of Madness" or "What A Shame." This album is just amazing altogether hahaha

Once again, Brent (Brett?) couldn't hit his own high notes if his life depended on it. He would do one of three things:
1. Move the mic away from his mouth a bit and sing a strained approximation of the note. 2. Let the audience "sing" the note for him, if it was an appropriate place in the song. 3. Shift the melody into a range he could pull off.
He's got a powerful voice and his range is excellent on recording, I'll give him that, but he can not pull off his recordings live. It's not like a bunch of my favorite bands' singers can either, though, so don't think I'm singling him out because I don't care for most of Shinedown's music.
