who run the show???

I found this post from Jasin todd, 2008, when he was fired of shinedown by the manager, I always think about to find the right people to play with me, cause if you are a real musician, if you want this shit to your life, like I want, you need to be careful, behind a band there are lifes, dreams....

2008.
“lies, all lies. there is no shinedown without me. loyalty doesn’t exist, rememeber a guy named Brad Stewart? They run the show, no, not the band. The truth is i had my ass beat by 6 cops in Jax Beach, Fl. Test proved no alchole or drugs were in system. All charges were dropped. I’ve been sober for 3 months now. The deal was sixty days in rehab- completed, then all would be back on. Ask about what half the songs are about? This was my life and i always left it on t he stage. Nothing illegal was done, wrong place at the wrong time. Think about it. Do you care if they take it all from us….my blood will be on their hands. ——— ask Mr. Nick how he got the job for Perry’s band. Ask Zack who supported him, the only guy that supported him–ever? Me. And all you know how i feel about Brent. Barry will leave next. MY BEAR. I love you, but looks like you laid down too. Maybe i’m wrong. Now their gonna give 7 years of our work/my work, to some new people. He should just call it a solo “brent smith” album, cause it’s no Shinedown album. Cause their is no more Shinedown, no more Jasin Todd, BRad Stewart.. I love u all, please remember that.I bet money it was just another little plan, he didn’t write it, bet i know who did…sorry everyone, this is really hard, through this whole thing, i gave it my everything,as you {OUR FANS] know. This is the stake that killed the beast. Never EVER trust anyone with your life. it’ll get ya devorsed/you might lose someone you actually care about-pass away-not even a “IM SORRY”.From anyone but my parents. Atlantic, i guess didn;t care. you have bandmates that could care less, even after spending time and living through the unthinkable. I was always doing for others first. Enough, post your bullshit comments,this and that and such, about im whatever,. no longer matters, Brent, my “brother” made this choice. gave all i had. MY Blood IS on Their Hands. THink, do real bands like the chilli peppers treat their family like this? Not a chance. They have souls and take care of their friends WHEN THEY’RE GOING THROUGH HELL’ Ask how many shows people in our label and mang, have seen in 7 fucking years? U couldn’t count ‘em on yer hands. So how would they know anything about me on stage ?no not my lovely locals…Pigs eat the rotten!!! Now u guys can wait for them to spew more baulderdash. I care deerly for you all, you made playing live everything, hope you gottcha a lil bit., hope all yer dreams come true, but, never trust anyone. play because it calls to you. Goodbye cruel world, Melody and Brent have let this world kill me. See ya around old friends. They’ll try to delete this, hope you get a chance to read.”
“Jasin O’Neil TODD PHLAX yes this is me they gave me everything and slit it out from me. Damn them, if Buffalo Smith wanted in me in OUR band, all he has 2 do is say it. All i got were texts. cant even pick up the tele, says sumthin about a persons heart.i just found all this out, so sorry for all of you that stood by the real Shinedown. Peace. Jasin O’neil Todd. Sweet dreams. See ya Bonnie, Clyde’s a Comin. Happy b-day my LEXXXI, see yoou soon, we’ll get all these bastards in heaven. How that for my “So called actions” thought this was a real rock band, not sume band that lays down and gets rolled. fuck it all.”

MOON LIGHT...

UMA CRIANCA NASCEU, UM HOMEM COM RAIVA.
UM AMIGO MUDO, UM TELEFONEMA BREVE.
OS PASSOS NO CHAO, AS CONVERSAS DEMASIADAS, O RISO SARCASTA.
NAO CHORE ESTA NOITE QUERIDA.
ESTA TUDO TAO INTENSO NESTE MOMENTO, E TAO INESPERADO TAMBEM.
PODE SER BREVE, E BREVE COMO EH, BREVE VAI-SE, E QUANDO SE VAI, PERDE-SE.
TUDO FORA DE CONTROLE...
EU PAREI PRA PENSAR, UM SUSPIRO SUCEDEU-SE, REZE E GRITE, COMO OS LOUCOS, COMO OS LOBOS, SAUDOSOS, EMBALAM A CERIMONIA.
ALGUEM ENTENDE, DOIS PASSOS, ESCRITURAS E VAMOS FUNDO, TAO FUNDO, TENDE SER RESPEITADO.
ALTO DE MAIS AGORA, TAO ALTO QUE POSSO SENTIR O CEU.
TAO ALTO.
TAO ALTO QUE POSSO VER QUE NAO HA CEU.

Sides...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Na noite, cerrada, camuflada na dor...
Breve que somos, deixamos a enganar...
O sol que não aquece, o dia sem cor...
Uma garganta vazia, um oco sem amor...
Um carinho, um sozinho...
Egoístas a chorar...
E os loucos a pintar em paredes nuas...
Retratos falados, das sombras imaculadas, sinceras e obscuras...
E caminho do amor e um caminho de dor...
E O caminho da dor e um caminho sem cor...
Eles possuem o respirar e o sufocar...
Eu apenas tenho a noite a sonhar.
