Brent Smith

Yes, they sound evolved, they got a little bit heavier, a little bit thrashier, but they had the same core DNA, the same hooks, the same riffs that they were known for, the same vocal delivery, the same vocal talent from Leah.

and leia is the kind of the core that brings it all together if you don't have leia it's just not mystic prophecy that's not in the same sense for example when we covered shine down and i said brent smith is his band it's his baby without him you have no shine down band so It's kind of the same here, but to a lesser degree.

Shine don't have had all the success in the world, of course.

When it comes to Mystic Prophecy, they haven't had that success.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Shinedown, not a Shinedown tribute band, not some guy who looks like Brent Smith, the actual Shinedown.

I'm talking about Brent Smith, Zack Myers, and they're coming to Greenville.

But here's the thing, not for a concert.

It's for something you may not have seen before.

But he's our friend, and he's fire marshal.

But he'll be there, too.

But it's Brent Smith, Zach Myers, acoustic, one night, one room, very intimate crowd.

Atlantic Records dropped Dreve from their deal, but they did keep the band's front man signed to a deal because they believed he had potential.

Who was this promising front man? Why, it was none other than Brent Smith.

Generic name.

I'm going to say it one more time because I really want it to lodge into your brain because it's such a generic and bland name that it's probably gone already.

Brent Smith.

like rent the aids musical but with a b smith as in the singular version of the band that uh the turf morrissey is what's the lead singer of brent smith That's a good way to remember.

I'm sure he loves being affiliated with both of those

things.

... clever with words.

Like a, like a Brent Smith.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's one of my favorite impersonations to do.

I gotta pull back from it.

Brent Smith?

No, the, uh, you know, just, like, certain voices, you know, like, "What's up?"

And I was getting a few messages from a lot of people saying that Crude and Bear are improving a wee bit this season.

So I think a win might be just around the corner for Brent Smith and Adam Ritchie.

But for Burkhead, a really good three points.

And they really needed that because it's been a bit of an inconsistent start to the season for Burkhead.
