[edit] Major article contributors
If you are a major contributor to this article, please add your user name to the below list:
[edit] Discrepancy re Marriages
The article on Aaron Lewis claims that as of 2006 he is the only member of Staind who is married. The article on other band member, Jon Wysocki, claims marriage. Furthermore, the article on the band Staind claims that all four members are currently married. This obvious discrepancy needs correction. -- 24.92.80.154 03:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Weak sentence
Together, throughout the course of their five albums, fifteen radio hits and progressively maturing career, house-hold name Staind have impacted modern rock, or at least post-grunge / alternative metal of the new millennium in some way. This is quite possibly the weakest sentence ever written :) -- 71.67.101.124 04:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
-
- I'm removing that sentence - it's not NPOV. They are not a 'household name', and to say that they have impacted rock music 'in some way' doesn't mean anything at all. -- 203.214.115.121 01:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mischaracterization of lyrics
While I don't consider myself a fan of Staind's music, I do appreciate the typical positivity of their post-Dysfunction lyrics. Therefore I don't understand why under "Criticism & Controversy" Lewis' lyrics are said to evidence "his continued depression and gloominess". While the lyrics may often address unpleasant subjects, they tend to do so with a positive, practical attitude. I mean, seriously, contrast, for example, Lewis' lyrics with Staley and Cantrell's lyrics at the height of Alice in Chains' career... -- Layeredsurface 08:41, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grindcore usage
What brain-dead fan used the term grindcore to describe this band? -- 70.160.230.17 05:49, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
-
- Obviously someone who is not familiar with grindcore. -- Progkeeg 00:16, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps grindcore did go a bit too far. However, their first album was quite heavy. -- musikxpert 08:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] General discussion about the article's subject
Does the vocalist have a lisp? It kind of sounds like he has a lisp. -- 72.72.37.187 21:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

- This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject. Thanks! -- Jreferee 18:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV
"The album sees the band move away from the nu-metal sounds of their previous album and resort to an alternative metal sound that many bands, including Cold, Seether, and Crossfade, have tried to replicate." I edited that sentence because I see little to no evidence suggesting that those bands tried to rip off Staind when they started playing music. Rather they were influenced by the same bands and since Staind became famous there was a renewed interest in bands playing alt. metal. That's like saying Korn "invented" Nu-metal and all the other bands just tried to copy them. -- Reborn stillborn 21:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] It's Been Awhile
I've written a section for "It's Been Awhile" seeing that it is probably Staind's most well known song. -- Jason f90 10:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Video links
Seems that "Right here" link is outdated.. as the user who uploaded it removed the file. A working link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jufrf69SZtg I am sorry but I am new to wikipedia's editing/commenting. There are also others not working after checking.

[edit] nu-metal
staind is a "nu metal" band. yes, they're not as much as korn, but those who argue are probably saying "oh, but they have like, one nu-metal song, so that doesn't count, right?". i would have agreed, but that shows that you only bought albums such as break the cycle, chapter v, or 14 shades of grey. they started out as a nu metal band, and still show some numetal in some of their songs. like for ex: in king of all excuses, the middle is a nu-metal, in which aaron lewis starts rapping. yes, i know songs like "right here" aren't nu-metal, but that doesn't mean they're not nu-metal.
