Shinedown frontman Brent Smith joins The Mixtape ahead of the band's long-awaited return to Australia alongside Bush.
Brent explains why it took Shinedown 16 years to make it back Down Under and how a conversation with Gavin Rossdale helped turn the Australian co-headline tour into reality. He also opens up about his past, being “lucky to be alive,” and discovering that he didn't need to be messed up to write great songs.
We talk songwriting, fatherhood, touring with his 18-year-old son, Shinedown's constantly changing Australian setlists and the band's unusual pre-show ritual.
Then Brent builds his Mixtape with tracks from AC/DC, Otis Redding, Guns N' Roses, Concrete Blonde, Tesla and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
