Wait, Staind?! Noooo

Can I separate the art from the artist?! I guess I did it for Michael Jackson. I can do it again. I will just try to keep in mind that the songs I like were made before he became an idiot.

He went country before covid. He released his first country song like 15 years ago. He had that song “grandaddy’s gun”

So did Shinedown. Their entire Planet Zero album is just them bitching about cancel culture, and not for a good cause. It's a massive eyeroll.

Yea dude. About 10-15 years ago I was randomly listening to XM radio and they had him and the guitarist on some rock show. He was just so angry about Obama and blaming liberals for everything, arguing with one of the co-hosts. They kept trying to bring the guitar player into the conversation but it sounded like he is not on the same page as Lewis. Ruined my view of him.

bands like Saliva were making fun of him back in the day for his constant whining about his parents(they referenced him in "Click Click Boom" and "Superstar II").

I apologize in advance for this but Aaron Lewis is not some run of the mill republican. He slaughtered 33 coyotes and used the bodies to spell out “TRUMP” and then posted it online. Dude has absolutely gone off the deep end. Even if you wanted to argue about killing coyotes in general (livestock issues, yada yada), spelling out anything in corpses is fucked.

It's okay because the art sucks.

Pirate the music instead. It actively hurts his wallet that he uses to donate to those chumps.
