They are, Shinedown that is, huge Stateside. Arenas are their regular haunt. I suppose opening for Maiden was to get them a boost over here.
Their last album hit # 13 on the UK chart and the one before it #18. The Sound of Madness for some reason didn't chart. That must have been the one that grew on people over time. I think it's one of the best albums this century.
