Bullshit you get from people when they find out you like Staind
People always ask me why do I like Staind with the fucking pussy music they play, or how can I stand that bullshit emo music. Well for one, last time I checked, I can like any damn band or artist I choose to like, because I have all genres of music in my computer, from rock to country to rap to hardcore metal. Two, Staind is not even close to emo. The day I see Aaron, Mike, Jon, and Old School go on stage in tight pants, excessive makeup and eyeliner, Aaron having long emo hair, and other women's clothing items, will be the day I would say they are emo. People who cry or feel emotional listening to Staind's music have a reason to do so, because they can relate to Aaron Lewis and Staind, I myself find Fade and For You to be the songs that relate to me the most. But 14 year old boys and girls crying over fucking Hawthorne Heights singing about "cut my wrists and black my eyes"? Fuck that. I'm waiting for the next Staind album and if they have a single that crosses over to top-40 radio, that everyone in the fucking state of North Carolina claims they are a Staind fan, just because they know that one song. People have come up to me when I'm wearing a Staind shirt telling me how much they like Staind and whatnot First, I'm pretty cool when you tell me you like Staind, so I'll usually strike a conversation up with you. I don't mind if you like the "new" Staind, that's how I got into them, was with Right Here, when it played on top-40 radio, but if I ask you, name another song by Staind, and you start having to think hard, you are not a fan. Shit, at least tell me you know It's Been Awhile or So Far Away I own every fucking Staind album, including Tormented and the Singles album. I will travel anywhere in the state of North Carolina, and any neighboring state they may be in for a show. I'm only 19, but I love all of Staind's music. Many times, when I can't sleep, I put on some acoustic Staind, like Epiphany or the acoustic version of IBAW from TIOP. Although I like Epiphany, I would have to say my ultimate favorite acoustic Staind song would have to be Let It Out. When I went to my first Staind concert, well, first concert of any kind back in May 2008, the people sitting next to me were talking about Tormented and Dysfunctional, and I said, "I will shit bricks if anything from Tormented is played, or if anything from Dysfunctional is played besides Mudshovel or Home." They were surprised that I knew all of the songs they were talking about. People even tell me how I'm wasting my money to see Staind. Well if you call singing at the top of your fucking lungs, having every muscle in your body aching by the time the show is over, or losing your voice for the next two days after a show, "wasting your money", well I'm damn proud to have done so. I apologize for rambling and pissing people off, but I just needed to say it :)

I live in Marlyand and I remember that station it was a shame they switched it to a Latino station and they just switched 104.3 to the top 40 hits now. Only thing left is DC101 and 98 rock and 98 Rock is shit. I don't know the people though sorry.
Aaron Hilton said:It feels weird to me that I'm the youngest person posting on here, I think I am anyways, I'm 19. What would I have to do to become a "member" of the Staind family, I don't know if I would be "allowed" because I'm so young. I'm glad I found the forums, because it's hard to talk about Staind, or hell, even music in general to my friends in NC. It also feels weird for me to own every Staind CD, including Tormented at my young age.
Also, not sure if any of you would know these people or are these people, but, at my first Staind show in Fayetteville, NC in May 2008, I was sitting with this lady and her husband. The lady said she used to work for a radio station in DC called 99.1HFS, until they became a Spanish Top-40 station. They treated me very nice, actually got me Chevelle's autograph, got me a Coke, and just made my first concert experience very enjoyable, along with Staind making me hurt and not talk for the next two days :) If any of you guys know them or are them, please let me know. I never got their names.

when people ask why i like Staind i just ask them why they DONT like Staind. they are a great band with deep meaning behind every song and most people are shallow and dont understand. yet when you go to a Staind show, every person there is CRAZY for them. and even it they dont know them, thay walk out saying "im a fan now". heres to another decade of succes.

why the hell would you care what people think about you or your music?I never really understood that.why do I like Staind?why do you like your music?
actually I'm glad not everyone loves Staind,it makes me love them even more.I don't like mediahypes.Maybe it's something different here in Holland.it's been long since IBAW came out,no one talked about Staind ever since in the media.
I'm sure Staind will double the time of succes they already had

LMAO YOU GOT IT BACKWARDS MY FRIEND! alot of my homies are pretty open to shit and a few have became STAIND fans jus from hangin wit me.most that dnt like STAIND are usually jus straight ignorant about STAIND and what their music really is. fuckin therapy on a disc for me haha. lmao its all good. fuck the hatin ass motherfuckers and i'ma be a STAINDfAn4LiFe! they have helped me walk through life and i thank them tremendously for helpin me figure out who i really am. and thats why i will listen to,buy every cd, buy every thing i can,and go see STAIND/AARON SOLO as much as fuckin possible!

Its weird that their music can relate to all of their fans and yet all of their fans relate to eachother as well. I hear the same exact things at least once a week. When I'll be driving in my car & i have them on my friends will tell me to turn that screamo shit off. But they just dont understand. The problem is that staind is easily the most misunderstood band in the world. (which has already been said on this post) People either think they are too soft, too hard, too alternative i mean I dont know. Staind is just staind and thats all there is to it. Ive listened to staind ever since I saw the video of Aaron Lewis singing Outside with Fred Durst & i was like 13 years old.. at the most. Theyre just great & ive learned quickly that this is place to be when you want to talk about staind. (imagine that huh?) Anyways my name is Daniel & ill also be at the aaron lewis show on the 14th, kinda bummed about the longass drive from VA though :( (And apparently the show doesn't start until 10pm????? Anyone know??? )))) Thanks
