Just saying hi, and wanted to really compliment you guys on the great band that you are! I actually got to see you guys play here in Fargo, ND about 6 months back, and I just thought that your stage presence was awesome! I cant compliment you guys enough on how you guys are! One of many things that impressed me, was while at the front of the crowd at your concert, we were getting crowded and pushed up against the gate, and Brent, you asked people to back off, it was some thing that really has stuck with me, that was a small thing, but really have my respect for you guys! Thanks! Also, I was listening to a radio interview about how you got cleaned up after your son was born, it brought back memories of my own life. As I am a single father, I have been raising a daughter on my own who is now 10, and a huge fan of yours as well, when she came into the world, she actually forced me to take a look at things and straightened my life out. I have finished my BA, and working in a professional field. Anyways, I have to say that I have been to many different concerts since last summer, and Shinedown and Staind are my two favorite bands! Thanks for the great music, and am sure we will make a concert again when you guys are close! SW

Hey, welcome to the forums. Nice story, glad you liked the band and had a good time!

Brent has a history of telling people to back up a bti and let people up etc. He wants everyone to have a good time.
