His voice is so powerful...  I could see Slash digging him..  But unsure of writing, range, etc...

He won't leave Shinedown.  He's in an Axl position.  He can handpick the members of Shinedown and fire them as he sees fit.  It's his band.

Yeah, i'm a sucker for Shinedown, I gotta admit.

But like Saikin said, Brent Smith IS Shinedown. He's in a Trent Reznor-position, unopposed, unlike Axl and new Guns. His face and voice is the "band".

They established themselves as a revolving door band early on.

Not a fan of Shinedown's more recent stuff, but I like their earlier material. Smith has a great voice -- very unique.

Really? I thought Sound of Madness was their best album. I also liked their debut, but thought their second album was WEAK. Definitely a sophomore slump.

I think he is the best voice in rock today. I like their first album, the second was a little off as Axlin said but the latest one seemed to bring it all together. It was a fine rock record especially in today's world.

It was THE rock record in today's world. I firmly believe anyone that wants to market rock music in the future, including the older guys whether it be new Guns, Slash or a reunited Guns, Metallica, whoever... are gonna have to go in that direction with their music.

Even Alice In Chains started moving that direction, with a grunge-twist.
