I have been a die hard shinedown fan since LAW came out and absoultely cannot wait for this concert. Shinedown is like a fine wine that keeps getting better with age. This will be my 7th time seeing them. I had the priveledge of meeting Brent in Worcester over the summer and his kindness made my fondness of Shinedown grow that much more. Zach you my friend are a wonderful addition to the band as well as Eric. Cant wait to rock with LIVE Friday night and my favorite band SHINEDOWN!!! Saturday night!!!

Hey...I'll be at the Boston show too.

Sad to see that there don't seem to be too many New Englanders 'round these parts...I'm apparently the only one going to this show on the fan club board, too.

Anyway...I'd love to hang out with you if you're going on your own. What's a good time to get there? I haven't seen Shinedown since 2006 and I can't remember when I got there lol.

hey, im going with my friends bob and shanon who r married so im the 3rd wheel,lol. its cool though, we are seeing live there the night before and staying the night. not sure when were gonna get to the show but we'd love to have a fellow shinedowner chill with us!!! tell me about urself

Haha well I'm a senior at BU, which is really close to HOB. Graduating this May with a degree in Advertising. I'm a huuuge nerd. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, female-fronted metal, fantasy book series, Renaissance Faires...yeah that's all my favorite stuff. Haha. And yourself?

I have a meet and greet with the band through the fan club so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do in terms of waiting. I'm used to waiting for a show for at least a few hours beforehand, but I might be able to just...show up for the M&G time. Which would be weird. So I'll probably get there in the early afternoon.

You're so lucky you get to do the meet and greet thing. I was so bummed when i didnt win. I got my tickets via the fan club thing like 5 mins before they even were suppose to go on sale, but.. nope! didnt win I can't wait to see the show though!!

I thought there was no chance because I had to register my info before I could buy anything and that took an extra couple of minutes. I was SHOCKED when I got an email; I usually don't win anything like this. I'm sorry you didn't make it in

Hope to meet you there! I'm tall and skinny, very pale with glasses and super-dark red hair (not natural red, lol).

Have a great show guys.

Hey all, I wasn't able to get to the show, as I had to get back to NJ, but luckily, I had the opportunity to meet the guys outside the HOB...what truly nice guys! I had always wanted to be able to tell Brent what his lyrics mean to me,and got to do just that. Such a great experience! Katya, I think I saw you outside the HOB yesterday...how was the meet & greet???

Yep, I was there! black T-shirt over a longsleeved blue shirt, jeans with a piano belt, and a denim newsboy cap (to keep my hair under control)

I can't even go into how amazing the show was. The guys were SO nice beforehand, and it was so cool to see the soundcheck. Halestorm were so amazing, and Shinedown just rocked the house backwards, forwards and sideways. I got some love from both of them...I don't think I've gotten handed so much random stuff from the stage in my life! Haha. I think my favorite moment was when they played If You Only Knew, Burning Bright and Call Me back to back...which are three of my absolute favorite songs.

I am so, so, so sore from headbanging and jumping but it was worth it. I'll post pictures and setlists (I got one from Halestorm and one from Shinedown) once I've woken up a bit more.

The show last night was AWESOME! Joe Kramer from Aerosmith was there - stayed the ENTIRE show, was totally paying attention and seemed very into it. For him to come out and stay the whole time, to me, it seems like a big deal. I can't wait for the show in NH next weekend!!!

DUDE. He was?! That's so cool! Zack said something after the show about wanting to meet Joe Kramer, but I didn't put two and two together in my head (probably because I was starting to enter the tired-cold mental numbness stage lol).

Soo...here are a couple of pictures from the soundcheck, and me with the guys. Sadly, HOB is really, really strict about taking pictures during the show.

You must be psyched, those pictures are awesome. How did you see them after the show? Joey was up above the band on the side - in a VIP thing - on the second level - right above the band to the right (if you were facing the stage). (if that makes ANY sense).

Well, the pic with the whole band was after the soundcheck; I had a meet and greet pass through the fan club. And afterward, Zach just came out by the space between HOB and the next building. I happened to be waiting in the right place.

I got to chat with Halestorm, too...man I love those guys. They're so much fun and such sweethearts.

Oh cool, you had good luck last night I missed Halestorm, I hope to see them sometime.

Great pics Katya! I definitely saw you..I was with the nice guy hanging outside the HOB before the show..I believe you talked to him too...I had gone to see the Live show the night before, and stayed at the HoJo's around the block, and when I walked out of the hotel, their tour bus was parked outside. so, I went to the HOB with my friends, and got to meet them outside..they were all so nice.
