[New] Staind - The Making of Staind Documentary 

R.I.P. Jon Wysocki (1968-2024)

No cigarettes were harmed in the making of this documentary. Special thanks to Marlboro.

Hearing Aaron talk about the kid who died by suicide to Outside is really heartbreaking...

I have so much respect for Johnny. Being an engineer in this type of situation would be so unbelievably stressful.

that bassist is just, ya whatever, all smiles, nothing ever bothers him. to me, hes the most level headed person in this group.

This dude has no idea what his music has meant to me. Growing up with all kind of shit around me, his music has helped alot. I know countless of people has probably said that, but yeah.. Love this guy!

I can't stand when a lot of people say that Staind were going shitty after Dysfunction. I find Break The Cycle and even 14 Shades Of Grey to be great Staind albums, based on opinion, I think Break The Cycle is one of their very best records and it was the one that got me into Staind.

This producer is incredible. His artist management skills... Ugh. Awesome :)

This video really shows that band is like a marriage and after 16 years things get complicated and that’s natural, but noticing weariness in the eyes of each member made me really said. Everything ends so as the times of good bands and good music. Thank you for the songs and records you’ve given to us!

I absolutely love this band and Aaron Lewis has been my hero since I was around 12 years old. A friend of mine went to a Staind concert and was able to get his hands on a Tormented album. He played "Mudshuvel" for me and I was instantly addicted. As a teenager, my wall was full of Staind posters, tons of Staind Tshirts, anticipated the release of every new album and kept up with current events. Their music has helped me get through some shitty times in my life, the worst being the death of my father when I was 14 and struggling with heroin addiction. One of my favorite past times is sitting here with my daughter watching videos of Aaron Lewis playing live acoustic shows. She's only 12 months, but she loves Staind already.

One of the best vocalists across all genres, certainly one of the most unique voices ever. When Aaron opens his mouth I’m completely consumed by the nostalgia feelings all GenXers feel from his music.

Jon, Aaron and Mike are always in feud. And there is Johnny, who laugh as always :D

Ive watched this probably 3 times and I always wanna come back and see it again

so that's why staind doesn't have a single bad song, they put a shit ton of effort in and it shows

If Staind goes on tour again I’m going to see them and it’ll be a huge success for them. We’re waiting for the return.

RIP Jon Wysocki

This is the third time watching this. So glad they are back together. Got my tickets to see them this summer.

Staind helped me cope with depression sadness anxiety, so arron lewis is good shit , keep us alive keep us going

omg, I still love this band! Love how Aaron says he doesn't give ashit about sounding modern or progressive, but rather sound like Staind :)

So fascinating that during recording this appeared to be the end of Staind and it ended up being their best album since Break the Cycle.

Seems like the 10 year break was needed but I'm so hyped and happy to have them come back. And that Heavy Staind is keeping strong with the new album so far

I miss Staind, but that being their last album really made it magical. It's like they will forever be a nostalgic band.

Something To Remind You reminds me of a kid that I grew up with, through grade school, and adulthood. I heard it the day after he OD'd, which was a month after his twin brother died in a car wreck. What a haunting, and, beautiful song. Peace through music. #RIP Will n' Biz

Despite what aaron thinks, he's helped me through my life so much. I love you staind. Thank you.

9:25 John "You didn't like that one?.." ....Aaron "Fuck off. Okay"... hahaha! gets me everytime

I cant stop watching this documentary...

Aaron Lewis’s lyrics and vocals, we’re almost like therapy for me growing up in high school. Will always love Staind! God bless you guys!

Aaron you never set out two put the lyrics out for us to help us but that's exactly what you did and some of us could never thank you enough because it's what got us through brother..... Thank you....

The best part of this whole video to me is 11:52 when Aaron sings Something to Remind You acapella. ITS SO RAW

This band shouldn't be like this. They're too good. I hope they find their ways back and realize that most of the music was heavy off of pain but let's be heavy off of soul. The drummer needs to leave soil, come back to stains and country Aaron needs to come back to his roots

I've loved this band from day one. Ever since Fred mentioned them. Dysfunction one of my fav records all time, EASILY.

First show on May 21, 2011 Rock On The Range Columbus, OH I was there for that

Paper Wings is my favorite song on the record, and its funny how thats the one that Aaron fought to change around the most

i love how staind can touch all my emotions with their years of music. From anger to hate to sorrow to regret to not giving afuck to simple sadness to love to graditude.. mean it's endless. and the mosst amazing thing is that if i want to feel a certain way.. i know what songs to listen to to get that emotion. The riffs, lyrics, melodies.. it is so strong that itpulls those emotions out from my core. Staind isn't a light single level band/music. you can feel the intensity in your veins

Aaron is so right when he talks about how he helped so many people with his lyrics, even though he wasn't trying to. His lyrics have helped me out a lot, as well as many others. Thank you Aaron

Staind is the greatest band ever. I'm so proud and thrilled for my my Staind. Thank you guys for refusing to quit. No matter how many times you've wanted to.

this man is my favorite singer. no one can make me feel intuned with my emotions quite like Aaron. love this man & band since i was in middle school. this band will forever be my favorite band. i’ve seen him twice live and one of those times it was a meet & greet. this man is so humble & kind! 🤯

That sucks, I could only watch the first 7 minutes. Been a Staind fan since the 90s. I'm 781 so was always proud of another great band from Mass. Thanks guys for what it was. Peace.

I've had Epiphany on repeat on old cd player over a decade, Aaron hits that last verse note...ugh! an't get through without My eyes watering and my throat chokes up every time. ❤ him so...

They defined an era of music

haven't listened to these guys in a few years. forgot how incredible aaron's voice is. i used to listen to nothing but hip hop and this is one of the bands that got me to open my mind about music. i'll always respect this band.

This album, this doco is a testiment to how much you guys need each other. You're all fuckin awesome.

When this album came out I was excited I listen to it for like a year straight i love staind

from a musician to a person whom has been there. Thank you. thanks for the inspiration so I can keep writing myself. see you on the road.

Everytime Aaron says fucking take a shot of tequila

Such a GREAT album, amazing job guys!

I remember when the Staind album dropped. Dude I was so taken aback but in the best way possible. A buddy of mine was heavy into Staind, and I had only heard their more radio friendly stuff like from the Chapter V album, and a couple others. But when he showed me the Staind album. I immediately fell in love with it. I had no idea up to that point that Staind went that hard. And I realized, they’re probably one of the most underrated bands of their time.

That voice is so pure!!! The whole band, just amazing...

Apart from these documentary the new cd is among the best ones they ever had.Amazing album..

I never realized how much they fought amongst themselves

The first Staind song I've heard was "it's been awhile" but i never got into em' because i thought their music was too depressing up until this year i decided to give em a further listening and realize i relate to a lot of their songs. Now ima fan, and Aaron is one of my resent inspirations in life.

I hope you read this. My little girl is named Zoey Jane and was named after your song. We are die hard Staind fans and love what you do Aaron. Keep it up and PLEASE keep making music that soothes my soul. Much love from KC dudes

Stainds final album was their heaviest and best by far!

This album is so incredible. I love watching how it was made :)

It's apparent that that Aaron has used every emotion up and said it all and that kind of art cannot be forced. There may not be another set of stifes in Staind's life that makes great art. It's okay cuz they have so many great songs already.

Can't wait for their new album 2023! 🤘

Mike f*cking Mushok and Aaron f*cking Lewis. Two legends in an awesome band. Love Staind

that was the most intense min and 30 second intro ive ever seen

Have been a fan for years and so glad and grateful to hear we get another record. And I can’t wait to see what’s next for staind

these guys helped get me into heavy music. i will always love these guys.

LOVE how this ended with them playing at Rock On The Range and I was there 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

People have to hate Staind, if they don't then Staind is doing something wrong. The sheer power of their music forces individuals to pick a side, I just hope more people choose to love them. I bottle my emotions up, Staind helps me get them out without having to say a word and for that I love this band. Thanks guys!

Only discovered Staind's full gammot of music about 2 years ago. Fell in love with everything ever since. Currently follow Aaron on his country albums. A great band, a great lyricist, making great music.

aaron you are amazing, the things you do for people. the songs you write. You know you are great!!!!

I hope Staind makes another heavy record and fuckin killz it!

ah early 2000's were great time for music, staind, flaw, Cold, ah I miss the old Cold, soad, Chevelle, finger eleven and so on, great bands at their best

Idk if theyll ever read this but Staind, you have helped me through one fucked up childhood, my parents are divorced, i my dad hasnt payed child support in 3 months and my mom and i are in a rut. Since i was only about 2 when Dysfunction came out i didnt find out about u guys until i was maybe 10 but your music has kept me from a darker side of what is in me, i just want to say thankyou for what you have done.

a long 17 years plus pressure for a great album took its toll on all 4 original members God bless

Wow, the story about the kid who committed suicide brings me back to a friend who attempted to kill himself while in the Navy. During hurricane Katrina, he lost contact with his family and lost his house to the storm and decided he wanted to jump about 150 ft into where our shipped was being dry docked. We were overseas and the secret song by Disturbed set him off. His friends stopped him, thank God. Just reminded me.

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BEFORE!! that gives me anxiety, what else have I missed from this band, staind has saved my life numerous times.

One of the greatest bands ever! can't understand why they are practically unheard of in the UK

I love how Aye Aye Rohn and the drummer dude are distraught all the time and Mike's just vibin

Love this band n them ending TURNED INTO MY FAV. ARTIST....I THINK AARONS VOICE REPRESENTS PAIN

love you guys you have helped me so much in my life and still do ... Thank you very much for know just the write words to say ...

Fuckin' awesome! Thanks so much for letting us see this for free, guys! Rock on!

Aaron, Maybe you'll read this, Ironically enough let's start off with my names Aaron too lol, but I really wanna say, I'm 17, I've been listening to you guys forever.. Break the cycle was the first album I owned, since then I've listened to every song from Tormented to now staind atleast hundreds of times, and I don't want to say I've had a tough life, But it's been a journey so far, and your music is one of the key things that helped me, you've inspired me alot and I thank you for this, really.

My heart is heavy after watching this. SO SO MUCH TALENT AND TO JUST THROW IT ALL AWAY IS A SHAME SMFH.!! I also don't understand why they got rid of the Drummer after 17yrs. He was awesome. Best of Luck to all the members. Also with Aaron singing Country music now he needs to stop reading what the haters have to say. There just jealous, envious, losers that have no life.. trying to bring you down to their level and break you down.

Doesn't matter what genre but every young band should watch this video. Shit doesn't go right most of the time but the music will come along. Learn it from Staind.

After watching this I don't think I've been inspired by anything ive ever watch until I seen this. I love you guys. Aaron writes his lyrics that inspire me in ways never could imagine and opens new doors to listen to what i feel like at that point in time.The fact that all of you guys work and pour your hearts out to write an album to the best of your potential is all i ever ask of a band who is true to not only themselves but their fans. Ill always be a fan until the end and forever on!!! imL

Best part of this documentary...the song 75 was born. One of my all time favorite songs.

In my Opinion, this is One of Stainds Best albums

40:06 the sickest guitar technique ever

Even though you guys fight I am thankful you hashed out this record, and that this documentary was shot. It helped me get through my creative stagnation I had last night, and now I can move through today with motivation. Thank you.

As much as i love the old stuff, this one is one my all time favorites. But then again I love it all!

"I do find that odd, that people would have the time or energy or take the time and energy and insult somebody they don't know, about something they know nothing about."

In my opinion this is the album that should have been 13 shades of grey. I remember listening to type o negatives life is killing me album and the Deftones ST and wishing that I'd like their old sound back. Well here it is

It's something that was grabbing people's attention and they were going to love it because it hits you in the face and you're like I've got to have more of that.

this gave me a view into the band that i didnt know about and how difficult it is to make a record and the stuggles some bands have. For what its worth I love the album and hope you guys can come together for 100 more albums. I have been a fan since dysfunction and never complained once. Staind will always be one of my favorite bands ever. Thank you for 16 years (for me) of kick ass music that I can relate to and know I am not the only one who feels certain ways. Thank you guys

Aaron man you're fuckin' great dude, don't worry about these dumbshits. They put you down while you're out there being creative, making great music while they are doing shit with their lives. Keep it up man. I grew up with your music as well, and it has meant a lot. Just do what you do, and don't let others try to put a label on you or define you. Your music is great, keep up the good work!

The name of this should be "The demise of Staind" Jmo

Love this album. My 2nd favorite, if not favorite, album that they have put out thus far. They KILLED it. Great job guys.

made it a must to buy this album the day it came out, and it was worth it

How many bands can say that their last album was their best??? Only Staind!!

Please if you see this I love your music soo much,You guys are great.

it is hard to watch a band that you love go thru so much of a struggle but in reality these four guys have been "married" to each other for almost 20 years. they spend just as much time with each other as they do their families so you might as well call it that. most bands dont make it as long as staind has without a line up change. it is reality what we are seeing and hopefully there will be another staind album, but if not, thx for all the wonderful music and memories we will always treasure

absolutely love the album and this vid. i hope we hear a lot more from staind on years to come

"look at fucking Helmet! GAKU GAKU GAKU GAKU GAKU GAKU GAKU! 26 fucking times!"

Watching this. The night befor buying the cd is going to make listening to the songs tomorrow that much better. I hope the band can stick it out. Please don't think that every song. Has to be heavy there's us diehard fans that enjoy the mix. I hope your tour brings you to the northwest so I can finally see the band in concert !

You've helped because sometimes telling your story helps other people to deal with their stories so we all thank you !!!!!

All of the stress in the documentary but the whole album paid off.. This is one of the few albums that i can put on and not want to skip songs
