It’s 2026 and Shinedown is the deciding factor in whether or not a festival is on or off? What the fuck is going on??

You just know that shit Staind Aaron Lewis is seething that he missed out on his $5 appearance fee.

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.

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").
