a rock group from springfield, mass. they've produced hit songs like "Its been awhile", "So Far Away", and "Right Here", but all of there songs are good. they started as J-CAT but soon changed there name to Staind. In 1996 they released "Tormented" a nightmarish self-released album. They only produced 4000 copies of the album originally. Around 1998 Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst signed the group to flip records, and in 1999 they released "Dysfunction". it wasn't as angry or suicidal as Tormented but was very angry sounding. They released "Just Go", "Mudshovel", and "Home" as singles. On the family values tour they released the live song "Outside" which was there first main-stream hit. In 2001 they released "Break The Cycle" which spawned hits like "Its been awhile", "Fade", "For You", and "Epiphany" it has sold 5x Platinum in america. They released "14 shades of grey" in 2003. Frontman Aaron lewis had a daughter now and wrote songs about her. it spawned the hits "So Far Away", and "Price To Play". In 2005 they released there 5th album "Chapter V" which has sold platinum and held the gold selling single "Right Here". they released "The singles" in 2006 with a remastered version of "Come Again" which was on "Tormented" and in 2008 they released "Illusion of Progress" which they called there most musical album. Staind is a great band with emotional lyrics and are one of the best bands out there.

A boring band with nothing unique at all to offer popular music. Distinguished by their lyrics, which sound like a fourteen year old girl wrote them. Their singer is yet another rock star who makes a living off of whining about feeling insecure to relate with children. Though he is at least in his late thirties and bald it seems to work.
"Staind makes me feel like blowing my brains out."
"Is that Tool?"
"No, they're talented. That's Staind."

possibly the best band ever to grace this planet. their lyrics are so deep and whenever i hear them it makes me want to cry. i realise that i'm not the only one suffering and that there are people out there more fucked up than me.
any of the idiots who dissed staind are clearly people who dont understand the lyrics. that's okay, they can go off and listen to their mainstream shit, that's fine with me. just dont come here simply to abuse the fuck out of a band that is too deep for you.

A band in which all there songs start off with a light guitar picking section then a heavy riff. About EVERY song is like this. Just listen to 13 shades of gray. All the songs are the same. Go listen to a real band with original music instead of this one... like The Mars Volta

A chick that has been tainted by the goods of a man. They are usually identified by a pull out target on the low back or an unusual body peircing.

a band that simply kicks ass. needs more respect and recognition. has a vast style of songs, which describe betrayal, depression as well as salvation that can be found through a loved one. not some sappy ass band that just bitches about how fucked up the world is and that it sucks, but staind tries to inspire the audience to make it through, as bad as it may seem.
"ive had doubts i have failed ive fucked up ive had plans doesnt mean i should take my life with my own hands"
staind owns ass.
staind owns ass.
