Shinedown's Zach Myers Reveals Secret To Band's Success

(Classic Rock) Shinedown's Zach Myers says honesty is the key to their success as a band. The singer and guitarist reports that writing about their own experiences rather than outside issues keeps them grounded - and their fans appreciate it.

Myers tells Altpress: "It's just about being honest. U2 is my favorite band of all time - it's that raw honesty that connects me to music. So, when we make music, we're going to write about what we've experienced or gone through.

"We're not going to go, 'Oh, this is on TV' - we've never been able to write about outside subjects. I think our fans can tell that it keeps us honest to who we are." Watch the full interview here.
