I saw staind live not too long ago...i know he has gotten alot softer in the last five years or so...i was wondering why. I mean i understand completely about an artist having to "sell out" to make money...i would too its not his fault radio stations wont play songs like what was on their first two albums (which were awesome). kinda like jim morrison in the doors movie kinda touched on...i get that. but i was wondering if it was something more i read somewhere he damaged his voice a few years back (from screaming?) but i cant find much on that on the net. any who his new music isn't bad it just...doesn't heal like his old stuff i guess. I was crossing my fingers he would play his old stuff at the concert...and i got my wish he did spleen, raw, suffocate...all the favs. I was also wondering if he still does those songs at all his concerts, or was i just in the right place at the right time? I hear other "screamers" but most of it sounds like trash compared to ol school staind..they wrote the book on letting your feelings bleed into the music.
