#staind #reaction Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Staind - It's Been Awhile! Homie looks familiar… Join this channel to get access to perks: / @blackpegasusraps
Yes, that is Aaron Lewis, who sang "Am I The Only One?". This is where he started. No addiction involved, but this song 100% reminds me of when my husband and I separated years ago in our 20s. I cried to this song every day for months. We reconciled, we had three more children, then he passed away at only 45. This song now reminds me love can fix anything, except death. 😥😥
Oh, I am right there with you! My 1st marriage ended YEARS before this came but I still had it on repeat thinking about him. We never got back together, but we became best friends. He passed in 2019 at age 48. I miss him every single day. 💔
The singer is Aaron Lewis, and since 2010 or so, he has been a country artist. You reacted to Am I The Only One? Country Boy and Granddaddy's Gun are worth reacting to as well. Another powerful Staind song is Outside.
Awesome! Layne is another great one about Layne Staley of Alice In Chains. So many great tunes. I really love the first album, it was brutal and raw. Dysfunction.
I had a friend die in a house fire in 2001. This song always reminded me of him. I went to visit his grave one day & this song started playing as soon as I parked my car! Like a little "Hello! I'm still with you!" nod from heaven.
I love when you started putting things together "Wait a minute. It seems like I reacted to an older version of him. Maybe a pro American song??" Oh, I love it ❤
Aaron Lewis is an amazing songwriter and voice of the 90s progressive rock. The Family Values Tour with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Ice Cube, Filter, Redman and Methid Man, Incubus. Such a great tour. Aaron’s duet with Fred Durst for Outside was epic.
Staind is one of my favorite bands of all time. This was their break out hit but my favorite song of theirs is Something to Remind You. Makes my heart break every time.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="340">5:40</a> That voice was popularized by Grunge music in the early 90's. (Pearl jam, Nirvana, sound garden). You're absolutely right, there was a late 90's new wave of alternative rock, that attempted to mimick that same vocal sound. It's referred to as "Marble mouth" singing. they call it that because the technique requires you to, instead of opening your mouth and projecting outward, like more traditional singing. Instead you widen the inside of your mouth (like your filling your mouth with marbles), and project it internally, which creates this deeper soundbox vibrado like sound. i personally call it shower singing. Because it sounds like when you sing in a small space like a bathroom. I kind of miss this style of singing, it has a lot of soul in it.
I'm 70 now, and was listening to different sub-genres of alternative music with my teenaged sons in the 1990s. I fell in love with these sounds that were so unique and innovative to my ears. This music - along with many styles of jazz - became my two "strong favorite" styles of music. (Still love swing and Big Band, Doo wop, and the '60s rock I grew up on, too!) You have sooo much to delve into! This was a great reaction. 🙂
@@docjohnson1 Or dedicated stalker. hahahahaha See what happens when you try to comment on anything on the internet??? I'm sorry hahahahaha just kidding around.
Matchbox 20 was another good band back in those days. “3 AM” is probably my fav. Rob Thomas wrote the song for his mom when she was battling cancer. They have a Greatest Hits that’s amazing. I don’t see very many people reacting to them which is odd. But anyway much love❤️
I couldn't relate when this first came out. Like you then I had a great family life and near fairytale marriage. My wife passed 3 years ago next week and I haven't adapted well. I now feel this song to my core. As Always thank you for your sincere and honest reactions!
Aaron Lewis is an incredible artist on his own ... has that ability to personify emotion much like Chris Stapleton and it projects loud and clear in everything he sings... Stained is a whole other level tho and they xame together at a point in my life much needed... Aaron has a video out that includes the back story for their song called 'Outside' that is absolutely epic!! Aaron also has a tribute to Chester (they were good friends) covering 'Crawling' that is the ultimate example of the emotion he brings to life 🫶🫶🫶
I highly recommend reacting to the Staind song Outside and know that Aaron Lewis literally made the lyrics to the verses up live on stage during the concert that first got them noticed. Fred Durst put them on their first major concert when he had Staind open for Limp Bizkit. Aaron Lewis had written the lyrics already for the chorus of Outside but hadn't written the verses. Fred Durst had heard the chorus and liked it so he told Aaron Lewis that if Staind performed that song then Durst would come out and sing on the chorus with him. So during their biggest break to date Aaron Lewis gets on stage and makes the lyrics up to the verses of Outside in real time as they are performing the song. There's a video with Lewis telling this story and talking about how you can see his nerves if you watch recordings from Outside being performed for the first time. This version made up on the spot is the same version that ended up being recorded. This is one of the most wild and impressive stories I've heard of a songs origins.
This song is back from 2001 when Aaron Lewis was with the band "Staind". Since then, Aaron Lewis has become a solo act...sometimes with a few artists for a show. You played one of his solo songs about 4 months ago...that's why he looks familiar.
Dead on with time frame, and it absolutely got a lot of us through a bunch of sh*t. Aaron (Lewis) really had a unique sound that is so very much a trademark of staind. There are a lot of heavy topics throughout his time as the frontman for staind and how he describes his perspective just felt really raw (that’s the best way i can remember how I felt when I first heard their music). His country stuff is really good as well and he does really cool acoustic sets as well
I agree - excellent song when in that kind of mood. I have a playlist of a huge mixture of moods and genres that I put on random play during long road trips. They make the favorites but I will just skip past them if not in the mood while driving down the road. Sometimes songs like this will just allow my mind to wander and help boring parts of the trip go by faster as well.
The line “I cannot blame this on my father” has always resonated with me. I was closer with my Mom growing up. They worked their asses off. Dad worked 10 hours a day on the railroad and Mom had a beauty shop attached to the house. This song, and some of POD, made me want to be a better father.
Another really crazy song from that time period is from a band called crash test dummies, The name is literally mmm mmm mmm mmm. It has over 43 million views and I don't know it's something different I think you would like it.
Totally from the Grunge Rock era.. not specifically from the Seattle Grunge Rock scene.. but that scene definitely influenced the 90's and earlier millennium rock scene for sure.. and it seeped through to soooooooo many rock artists of that time. I mean I remember that sound coming from many UK and Canadian bands of that time as well. Like for the UK ... Radiohead.. Bush X.. Garbage.. etc.. and then Candian bands.. like... Moist .. Limblifter.. Matthew Good Band.. Nickleback.. The Tea Party.. With each of these bands... in different ways .. you can definitely here a common thread of sound with the instrumentation or vocals that was moving through the music scene around the world at that time. I personally love it. I am also hugely in love with all of the pop punk that was born out of this era. Anyways.... ...... ....... Love to see you checking out this genre of music. Cheers from Canada... 🍁
Yea, I feel the same way about this song. I'm getting over a guy that was on drugs (meth) and makes me think of how he might feel one day but I'm moving past it so it's nice to hear it but def not on repeat.
I remember seeing Staind open for Korn in Little Rock, AR back in early 2000s when Staind was first coming out. Mudshovel was my Intro to them. Check that one out.
This group is Badass Staind's first album was Dysfunction 2nd was Break The Cycle. The launched into Outter space when this Single dropped! Unfortunately Staind retired quite a few years ago. They despised labels! And said Staind will never play again or create another album for a label. He in last 2 years has said Staind is working on first new material in years. And will release on their own label/studio. Because they're stupid rich and can. He also had trouble having time for a Staind project because of his popularity as a Country artist.
I know what you mean, my dad and I had a strained relationship for a long time and we're only just now starting to understand one another now that he's an old man with not long left. I guess I kinda wish I had invested time in my family before now.
@@Wearywastrel my dad died about 10 yrs ago. The relationships we want with someone are rarely the ones we get to have. Especially if you're the younger.
Staind was kinda born in the grunge rock era. They have many good sons! Singer is Aaron Lewis currently doing more country. Other songs by Stained - Mudshovel - Something To Remind You - It’s been a while … lots of really good music!!
1998. He did a concert on top of a cd record. Store called Looney Tunes in West Babylon Long Island Pl. still around today so you can still buy CDs. It’s the only place left in Long Island but he played this song on the rooftop. It was awesome.
You should definitely check out more from Staind. They really don't miss on much. I would recommend "Outside," as well as "Right Here" to get you started
Damn, its been forever since ive heard this song. I guess you could say.... its been a while. But seriously, this brings back memories of driving around at night in tne summer jamming out in the car with the windows down. In my 18-20s 🥹
You mentioned this specific sound…next to 80’s music this type is my favorite! Another group with a similar sound is Fuel. I highly recommend “Hemorrhage” Also “Lightning Strikes” by Live
I've been a Staind Fan from the beginning. I even have their first CD Tormented . It's very dark but good . You would like Zoe Jane . It's a song he wrote when his daughter was born. His first daughter. I've seen Staind so many times. I'm seeing them again this summer. They have so many songs. He wrote a song called Layne about Layne Stanley from Alice in Chains when he died. They have so many good songs. You would probably love his country stuff . Aaron Lewis is very Patriotic. His country stuff is all about it.
