Day 13: Sound of Madness.

"A picture of your favorite band or artist."

Now this is a very recent development.

When I read that I had to choose my favorite band/artist, I had no idea what to put down. For years I have said that it was Staind, but quite frankly I'm a little ashamed to say them now. Their new stuff kinda sucks. They turned into softies. I hardly listen to them half as much as I used to anyway. I thought about saying Slipknot, because I do love me some Slipknot, but I just don't listen to them all the time. Same with Korn. The one I could firmly say is still one of my current favorites is Rikets, but their not a freakin' band anymore! And I then I thought long and hard and I realized that there was a band I could say I have loved almost every song they have come out with and I still listen to them on a daily basis.

Shinedown.

I really loved The Sound of Madness album. I'm currently obsessed with "The Crow and the Butterfly"; it's such a beautiful song...and it makes me wanna cry a little. And I love "Sound of Madness"; it makes me feel like a rockstar.".45" makes me shed another little tear...and so does "Second Chance". And...last one, I swear...I MUST commend them for their rendition of "Simple Man". It is brilliant.

And you know what, I think it is actually slightly better than Skynard's.

Just sayin'.

So yes. I think Shinedown is amazing. Their music makes me incredible emotional.

And...I pretend to be a rockstar to them...
