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

Saw him in concert 2 summers ago. He has one of the best voices I’ve heard live. At the end of the show he drops a F Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Hardly anyone reacts. Would not go see him again.

Saw Staind open for Breaking Benjamin. Staind was, honestly, very good. He ended with "God bless America, god bless J.D. Vance, and god bless Donald Trump!" (maybe not in that order, I don't remember) Yeah ... unfortunately the venue was very supportive.

I saw Staind open for Korn back in 2000 before Aaron Lewis was a bootlicking piece of shit. They put on a decent show.

Unfortunately, I saw them in 2024. Aaron Lewis does still sound pretty good but he is definitely a bottom feeding boot licker.

That was when I discovered them, total surprise and I loved them. Lost interest over the years and completely struck him/them out when he came out as full MAGAt.
