best Fred Durst shoutout in Staind's "Outside"

THIS IS THE REAL MUTHAFUCKIN DEAL Y'ALL

I think this is being underrated, cos I'm kind of touched that Fred thinks a bloke strumming a guitar and emo-mumbling is as real as I do.

I think people hate on Staind hard for several reasons. First, "Staind." Second, there's the fact that he sold out his whole band by claiming he really only wanted to go country in a song that sounded exactly like a Staind song, only with a different producer who'd heard some country. Third, it's hard to conceive of a band more melodically deficient than Staind. They literally have one melodic mode in which they work, on every song, no matter what the chords are. It's the same Nirvana-changed-my-life move that really inspired a generation - I just spent a few minutes trying to figure out which mode it is that the Staind melody is in, I want to say Phrygian but I don't think that's right, but anyway it's just so cynically uninterested in its own music. A Stained song involves putting some chords together and then doing the same thing you did in the last song.

Also watch any of the videos somebody needs to give this guy 10,000 noogies.

going with "lighters" because it's kind of poignant being on the cusp of a new generation of concertgoing and all, and "i'm feeling those cellphones" just wouldn't be the same.

also poignant as it is, listening to stained is like blowing your nose into a glass of apple juice and then drinking it not on a dare but for pleasure.

see, my computer won't even let me write "staind" without having to go back and fix it.

I can't sit still through this. Does anyone know at what time "lighters" comes up?

I mean on paper "I'm feelin those lighters" is, as moley says, a no-brainer. But within the clip "Biloxi!" really shines. It's a hard vote, but "Biloxi" it is.

At the beginning of this song, had he forgotten how to it went? There are some plain wrong notes in there played over and over until he hits the verse.

also lol @ "BILOXI!"

also lol @ Fred not being able to sing the chorus

dan i think you are asking a lot of staind dude's memory and skill set.

according to one of the youtube commenters this was the first time the guy had ever played the song in public, it wasnt on any of their CDs, and he hadnt even written lyrics to it?

which would mean that yes fred is trying to sing along with a chorus that literally didnt have lyrics until that very moment

so Fred is a mind-reader? cool

they should have dressed like this

so it's the gil e jorge of nu-metal

DJP wardrobe correction so OTM

This video and fred ad libs provided many lols at the time, glad to see we weren't alone

I knew a guy or two fresh year of college sincerely into this song

Staind also were annoying for rhyming the same vowel sounds over and over again. It's even in ths song titles! For example, 14 Shades of Grey has the following songs:

Price to Play
So Far Away
Yesterday
Fray (this is 4 of the first five tracks btw)
Blow Away

Good God!

man, you know durst was 31 years old when 'nookie' came out? weird

And here I am the same age, and what have I accomplished?

He was actually 29.

and to think he was washed up before 40. he's like orson welles.

31 when the video dropped rather

guys 31 is still a teenager basically

trust me on this one

sad no one bit on my revive of the "Behind Blue Eyes" thread

We were trying to ignore that.

Second, there's the fact that he sold out his whole band by claiming he really only wanted to go country in a song that sounded exactly like a Staind song, only with a different producer who'd heard some country

to be fair, this happened late in his career

by which I mean after everyone already decided Staind were the worst band ever

again, not defending Staind who are horrible, but there were so many bands I would call the worst band of their era before Staind (Creed, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down) - I think I'd even rather listen to "Outside" or "It's Been Awhile" than that unreleased Nirvana song they remastered to sound like Puddle of Mudd

I'll take Creed over Staind for sure, but Staind over Nickelback & 3 Doors Down

Yeah, I'm feeling you curtis. I like this better than any rock I've heard on the radio and I fucking HATED this when it was out. To me, this song is a watershed moment in blunt-edged commercial hard-rock. It's the source.

I'd take riding a rollercoaster without a lap bar over Nickleback

God, and my girlfriend at the time liked this too. She didn't understand why I would get so upset about it.

Staind to me were terrible because of just how droney their shit was. it was almost offensive in its blandness.

N needs ti embrace the droney.

There is actually one (and only one) 3 Doors Down song I will ride for: "Not My Time"

we should all learn this and play it in a google+ hangout imo

I like droney stuff if it's like...doom metal, a la Cathedral....not warbly acoustic "rock"!

the half-assed strummed guitar and sub-grunge songwriting is definitely the worst thing about Staind

besides all that other stuff

I'll take Creed over Staind for sure, but Staind over Nickelback & 3 Doors Down

I understand where you're coming from, but Creed singlehandedly topped everyone in terms of horribleness with "With Arms Wide Open" (arguably their biggest song) and I can never think of Creed without thinking of that

man i like creed

But within the clip "Biloxi!" really shines. It's a hard vote, but "Biloxi" it is.

seriously--i spent all these years not realizing that's what he was saying and this is a revelation to me

monsters of '00s post-grunge best to worst: Nickelback > Shinedown > Godsmack > Creed > Daughtry > Seether > Three Days Grace > Staind > Breaking Benjamin

dude staind is so much better than fuckin daughtry and seether and three days grace what is wrong with you

"For You" and "Mudshovel" are cool but i don't fuck w/ Staind's seventeen consecutive ballad singles

hoos otm

basically the only reason Staind isn't dead last is i can't even name a Breaking Benjamin song much less one i like but i know i've heard them a billion times

amazingly perfect post-grunge origin story:

Before Breaking Benjamin was formed, Burnley had earned money by playing cover songs in various coffee houses as a solo artist under his own name "Benjamin." He later came up with the band's name, "Breaking Benjamin," after doing a performance of a Nirvana cover, Ben knocked over (to imitate his lifelong idol Kurt Cobain) and cracked a microphone he had borrowed. The owner of the microphone walked onto the stage and said, "I'd like to thank Benjamin for breaking my fucking microphone."[2]

YES

Burnley is victim to several phobias and has even said that the name of their 2006 album, Phobia, was named after that simple fact.

lmao

love fred 4eva

i'm in biloxi right now

like, in biloxi or just outside it, looking in?
