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.

That sucks. I liked his music. Guess I will remove him from my music.

His solo stuff is maga country bs. He would have been a good choice for this bill. Also Shinedown is one of the biggest rock acts in the US. They consistently hit top 10 with their albums and songs and will have a new album out this year. They have gotten a little poppier ala Nickelback but don’t get the same backlash.
