ATTENTION ATTENTION…Shinedown brings the heat to the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater

The weather and Shinedown at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater Sunday evening was Hot, Hot, Hot!! Shinedown continues to make their way across the country on the Attention Attention World Tour, promoting their latest album Attention Attention. The band has toured since February, finally landing in Chicago’s suburb this past weekend. Watch the new animated video for current single “MONSTERS.”

One could just feel the electricity in the air as the house lights dimmed and the curtain obscuring the stage floated to the floor. Vocalist Brent Smith is a master at working the crowd, always certain to maintain the connection, even pausing once to shake hands with the photographers up front. Smith on vocals, Zach Myers on guitar, Barry Kerch banging the drums and Eric Bass on bass create an orgasmic atmosphere that endears them to fans wherever they go.

Belting out selections from their latest album such as “Devil”, “Monster” and “Brilliant” intermixed with the band’s never ending catalog of music that includes; 14 #1’s on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, which is the second most in chart history. Included in the set was the band’s cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd hit, “Simple Man” that has become a staple in a Shinedown set. The performance was punctuated by pyrotechnics and an impressive laser display…it is an audio-visual delight!
