Apparently this comes from the minds of our very own Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy! ROCK PUPPETS!!!

Wow, Mark must have really been stewing over those Downshifter rumors for all these years! I wonder what Joey Jordison will think of this :lol

Can't get Myles singing "on a farm, on a farm, rocking out in a barn" out of my head, and I may soon get violent.

Wait...So Myles actually sang in that video?

Does he do that high & long note at the end, too? 7:17-7:28?

I happened to see Myles tweet about this and thought, I know I haven't been keeping up but what on earth have I been missed... Kept thinking they spent too much time on tour with Steel Panther!

^ Haha this!
Also curious what's the story behind Downshifter and what exactly is Marks part in this. Did he come up with it or help with the music?

Can someone explain to me what's so funny about the name "Downshifter"?

It's not that it's a funny name, it's just that years ago Mark was thinking about putting together a heavy band called Downshifter with some famous folk, and it's funny that he's now finally managed to use it but with muppets :lol

Actually if memory is correct the funny part is he wasn't putting a band together but somehow that rumor got around.

I think the names like Joey Jordison being mentioned turned out to be false, but I'm also pretty sure Mark mentioned the band name itself ages ago.
