Because Staind fucking sucks and Aaron Lewis is a dumb fucking dickhead, if I had to hazard a guess.

As someone who grew up where they're from, he is a dickhead

TIL Aaron Lewis is from my neck of the woods (I grew up 30 minutes from the “city” in VT he was born; likely even born in the same hospital)

[удалено]

Well, if any of his character was developed in the first 8 years of his life, it explains a metric fuckton of things. That place is the worst.

Did you not hear him? He said he was sorry. It’s been a while. But he said it.

Before or after he did the next dickhead thing?

straight and to the point. I like you.

Hit the nail on the head

Oh shit wait is there some shit on Aaron Lewis? I've honestly never heard of this

He's a MAGA fascist chud and he sings about it A LOT.

Ahh I see, that's unfortunate. I'm still going to like Staind though I'll just separate the "artist" from the "art"

Well a lot of his art is all about how he wants cops to kill black people, so be careful.

See when I say "art" I mean solely the stuff that was early 2000's that everyone knows. I'm not a big enough fan to know or care of they've come out with anything in the past few years

When you say "art" you mean the aural diarrhea that was produced and then named "Staind"

The rest of Staind joined up with the former front man of Three Days Grace, Adam Gontier, as Saint Asonia and have released a couple albums

Lol so I’m guessing everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist?

No, just the ones who specifically say and do fascist shit, dumbass.

Are you a 41 y/o divorced dad that still wears Fox dirt bike apparel , well I’ve got a band for you!

> Fox dirt bike apparel Dang, I haven’t thought about them in a long ass time. They’re still around it looks like, but people just don’t wear the shit as often anymore, I guess?

I think James Cameron has bought them out

It's Tapout or monster now

Actually, now that you mention it, that’s exactly right. All the former Fox people I knew are now Tapout/Monster dudes. 😂

the genre is lovingly known as "butt-rock"

I thought that was 80s hair bands

That’s cock rock

No but I am a 28 y/o divorced man who will listens to Staind so it's basically the same thing 🤣

Omg I had friends who were into dirt biking and listened to Staind when I was young.

yeah dood, we all do

They were either riding dirt bikes, or sitting at home watching videos of other people riding dirt bikes.

They’re on the outside

But we're looking in

I was a huge Staind fan as a teenager, but Aaron Lewis is a big MAGA twat, so fuck em.

Oh man, I had no idea about any of that. Another elder Millennial fan from back in the day.

Being Maga is one thing, I'm sure a lot of people I like are, but he killed dozens of coyotes to spell Trump 24 on Instagram. That's how I found out. 😔

What the actual fuck?

That’s some serial killer shit

He went full Rogan

Itsbeenawhile Since I’ve seen anyone admit to enjoying Staind

I liked them back in high school but that was 20+ years ago.

I mean sure they're not the best but they're definitely better than Kid Rock on the trashy meter right?

Honestly there’s a threshold below which it’s not worth debating who’s the absolute worst

Fuck you guys! I refuse this hate from you no taste ass hats! Hail Satan hope you all have a great day

Hail you

Nope. Staind doesn't have Bawitdaba or Cowboy up their sleeves. Kid Rock may be ridiculously trashy, but I don't think I know anyone who doesn't genuinely think those two songs fuckin slap.

Lol the question is why are you acting like Staind is an acceptable band to listen to? Terrible

You're terrible...see? how's that make YOU feel?

Pretty good that I won't be hearing any Staind. You got bad ears, son.

Probably pretty good. If a Staind fan thinks you're terrible, you're winning at life.

Literally could not give less of a shit about someone who is a giant Staind fan most likely. Lmao

Now that just hurts, I curse you and your car speakers

I like Staind 👀 ..Don't like Aaron Lewis. He should choose to shut the fuck up more often. I've passed on going to Staind shows because you know you're going to have to be subjected to multiple ignorant rants/statements between songs that nobody gives a shit about.

Because they deserve it. Why are you yelling?

I WAS YELLING FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT AND NOW I CAN'T STOP

Because they're not good. They're basically the great value version of nickelback who are also not good

Staind: The Nickelback you have at home

Hit the nail on the head

"Pump your brakes kid..."

No

I love your resolve! Everyone in this thread keeps telling you how much Staind sucks, but you are standing by your band and keep fighting for them. Staind does suck, but you do not

I can't say I don't agree with some of the comments lol but dammit I grew up listening to them and I think they're just fine! Hail yourself!

They are? I don't remember them getting any extra hate the way Creed and Nickelback did.

Imagine being *that* unremarkable.

🤣🤣🤣 that was actually a good one take my upvote and hail yourself

Hail you! While I do not respect your musical taste, I certainly respect your tenacity in defending it 😂

Because Staind sucks ass?

As someone who grew up in the same area they're all from, they suck

They’re just slightly different shades of WT. if you’re worried about it, take a step back and re-evaluate your life choices.

Lol well now that you say it I am one of the few people in my family who made it out of the trailer parks so maybe WT is in my blood no matter how far I get

Like Mike Ness says, you can take the boy outta the white trash but you can't take the white trash outta the boy.

Because they’re a shitty fuckin band

I've honestly never met a Staind fan, or at least they were never willing to admit it in public.

One time I posted "I miss sad Aaron Lewis, all we have now is 'angry at immigrants' Aaron Lewis and it's just not the same" to Facebook and a bunch of dudes with goatees threatened to kill me.

You just perfectly explained the Staind I was talking about in this post, old sad Aaron Lewis, not newer 'has some rough opinions' Aaron Lewis

Yeah but understand the point of the joke wasn't "Staind was good" it was "damn Aaron Lewis is a Piece of shit now"

Lol I see what you're saying, I still think it's Staind was good but my point is it was good when he wasn't a piece of shit. I never knew about good political opinions until today but I did notice a gradual decline in his music until I just ignored everything but their old stuff

How many of their profile pictures were selfies of them wearing aviator glasses from the driver's seat of a pickup truck?

As many as you'd think.

Is this an episode of Staind Glass with Todd Glass?

Actually, I'd love to see an album of Staind performing works by Philip Glass.

Honestly, Im still pissed about holdens cat hatred

Sorry buddy I have to agree with Holden there. Cats are class a cunts

Yeah.

The dysfunction album was pretty good. But I was big into Nu Metal Family Values shit in middle school.

Weren’t we all? 🤦‍♂️

I mean.... it's staind

Because it’s bad mall metal .

Because they suck and Aaron Lewis is a huge racist?

I liked this a 10-year-old redneck along with 3 doors down. Then, I moved to the city and stopped only listening to whatever the alt rock radio station was giving me.

Because staind sucks ass

Staind used to be my coworker’s code for taking a dump at work. You’d ask him how it went and he’d say “BROKE THE CYCLE!” (Break The Cycle is the name of one of their albums)

You definitely have a “cool s” tattoo

And I did it myself NER NE NER NE NER

😂😂😂😂

Staind is like alcohol free beer. It fucking sucks.

This is the correct opinion on Staind for the boys to take. Ed Kowalczyk being the poor man’s Maynard Keenan is objectively wrong (though that was Henry’s take only, I suppose).

It’s a shit band

Staind is just sad Nickelback

Staind: at least they're not Creed!

Staind= fine. Everything Aaron Lewis did after=absolutely not fine.

Because people without tinnitus think they are horrible

They haven’t made fun of them often but…it’s been awhile 😎

Because they are aggressively shit

Obligatory “It’s Been Awhile” comment

Staind is so white, I can see through them, see their true colours.

Staind is forever my guilty pleasure idgaf about the lead singer. I’m not looking for heroes in the butt-rock genre
