STAIND: 10,000 Fans Turn Out For Free Show In Boston
- Aug. 10, 2005
|
|
|
Over 10,000 rabid fans turned out for STAIND's free show at Boston's City Hall Plaza on Tuesday (August 9) as part of the "Fusion Flash Concerts" series. This special performance in the band's home state coincided with the release of their new CD "Chapter V" (Flip/Atlantic).
This surprise show was announced only five days in advance, via the "Fusion Flash Concerts" series, employing text messaging as a means of alerting and gathering fans for shows. The band performed a set that included tracks from "Chapter V", along with some of the band’s hits including: "Right Here", "So Far Away" and "Mudshovel".
Following their free performance in Boston, STAIND headed to New York for a performance on "The Howard Stern Show". The band performed "Right Here" and did a stirring rendition of the "Beetlejuice" song, written by one of Howard's multiple casts of characters.
STAIND are presently on a cross-country tour with 3 DOORS DOWN and receiving critical praise for their live performances.
The band's last two releases — 2003's critically acclaimed platinum "14 Shades of Grey" and 2001's quintuple platinum "Break the Cycle" — both entered The Billboard 200 chart at No. 1.

I decided to not rip on these guys without a firm grip on what they're all about. So I went on Itunes and listened to samples of every one of their songs on the new album.
There's only two I would consider to be rock...every. single. other. song. is a slow acoustic ballad indistinguishable from the last. I mean, what the fuck? Why do people like these guys? These guys are not even heavy enough for mainstream rock...I just don't get it!

Staind weren't even that great with Dysfunction. As for the comment about them keeping it real, and not playing for 12 year olds...
I don't know a person (with mature musical tastes) over 12 that likes Staind. har.

You can have them. However, at least they admit that they aren't metal. I don't know what they are exactly. They seem a bit old to be singing songs of teen angst though.
