History
Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996. Their sophomore album, Dysfunction (produced by Fred Durst and released on Elektra Records), was their breakthrough.
Staind got their big break following an argument with Fred Durst while opening for Limp Bizkit in October 1997. In spite of the argument, Fred Durst was so impressed by Staind's live performance that night he later arranged their first record deal. Staind toured with Limp Bizkit for the Family Values Tour during the summer of 2000, which set them up for their smash hit 2001 album Break The Cycle. Aaron Lewis and Fred Durst performed together live, on one occasion doing an acoustic version of Outside to the accompaniment of hundreds of waving cigarette lighters. The video shot at the event proved popular, and has received more airplay on some television stations than any of Staind's official videos. Despite the criticism of the video, it has done much to increase their popularity.
Staind embarked on a world-wide tour in 2003 to promote 14 Shades Of Grey. Their appearance at Reading Festival during the tour had another impromptu acoustic set, this time due to equipment failure.
During a break between making a new album, Aaron Lewis performed backing vocals for good friends Jimmie's Chicken Shack for their single "Falling Out" on their new release "Re.present" (released in 2004)
Staind's newest album, titled Chapter V was released on August 9, 2005.
Staind appeared on the Howard Stern Show on August 10, 2005, to promote their new album Chapter V. They performed acoustic renditions of the single Right Here and Beetlejuice's song "This is Beetle." Their rendition of "Beetle" is immensely popular with listeners and has become a staple of the show. A black-and-white animated video was created for the song by Kevin Lofton, who does all the animation for the Howard Stern website.
Staind also plans to release a Special Edition of "Chapter V" this November. The album will contain "Beetle" which appeared on "The Howard Sten Show".
