I have to agree bjk, Shinedown Rocks!...it's rare to buy a cd and love every song on it. There are very few bands out there these days who have accomplished that. I can't pick a favorite song on the cd they're all that good. I have seen Shinedown several times and will continue to see them when they are in the NY/NJ area. I saw Cavo at the PNC Arts Center (CrueFest) in August and they said they were touring with Shinedown...Cavo is playing in Atlantic City, I believe in November, however Daughtry not Shinedown will be playing with them. Bummer! Any chance Shinedown will be coming back to this area? The Starland Ballroom or Nokia are the best place to see a concert and would be awesome!

Also, Shinedown's version of Simple Man is so awesome, it's so much better than Skynyrds (on a scale of 1-10 I rate it a 100!) so why doesn't Shinedown ever do it on tour? My friend thinks because it's not one of thier songs. Any chance it could be added to the setlist next tour??

In short, no.

They used to play it live, but they no longer do. They've said that they won't be playing it live anymore. Sorry!
