Smith says he was really very angry about the end of Bush’s presidency not that every single thing he did was wrong or bad, but that after he returned from Iraq, he just felt overwhelmed. In fact, most of their third album, named “The Sound of Madness” was focused on the US and their modern politics. Shinedown actually vocally protested George W Bush’s presidency. In live performances, the band generally dedicates the song to Pantera’s deceased guitarist Dimebag Darrell. The song is still very popular, with the video alone garnering over sixty-three and a half million views. Their early success can be contributed to their acoustic remake of the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man”. Shinedown says the following musical artists have influenced them in one way or another: Otis Redding, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Stone Temple Pilots, and Foo Fighters.
