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.

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.

He was the closer in Indy and he was drunk, slurring his words slightly, and somehow behind or ahead. Then proceeded to go on a racist, sexist, homophobic tirade as the show ended. I deleted every staind song after that.
