best Fred Durst shoutout in Staind's "Outside"

The artwork for Dysfunction reflects its title. All four band members are depicted with dysfunctional properties related to their position in the band; Aaron (vocalist) is shown without a mouth, Mike (guitarist) is shown with webbed hands, Johnny (bassist) is shown with only one arm and Jon (drums and percussion) is shown with a pegged leg. Finally the most obvious reference to the album's title is on the cover; the clown's reflection is incorrect.

"and I waste
more time
...than
...anyone"

kinda hit me hard today.

this is the real motherfuckin' deal

Musical style

Staind play a form of post grunge with varying elements from nu-metal, alternative rock and alternative metal. Topics of their lyrics cover issues of depression, relationships, finding oneself, betrayal and even Lewis' thoughts about becoming a father in the song "Zoe Jane" from 14 Shades of Grey.

Zoe Stain

Oh, fucking christ... I remember this video getting heavy rotation and constantly marvelling at the spectacle of the introverted bald guy dourly singing his teenage poetry, while the moron in the red hat who hasn't evolved mentally since high school shouts inappropriately over the top of it. The only thing I can think of what would probably match this in terms of cringe is watching someone scream the theme tune to 'Wayne's World' at a fucking funeral.

And yeah, it's definitely "I'm Feelin' Those Lighters". Christ.

Most fascinating part to me has always been the ripples of cheers from the crowd. They are in this moment together, this rare intimate duet of their heroes, and the adulation sways around the stadium. "This is the best night of my life!" someone shouts, but the friend doesn't hear because they are Wooing louder than they have ever wooed, before or since

i like to imagine Aaron Lewis playing this seated in front of a music stand with the chord changes handwritten sloppily on a sheet of looseleaf paper

this is the only time I can ever say I like to imagine Aaron Lewis doing anything but having his mouth closed

at 0:43 Durst's right foot and Lewis's left tap in exact unison. says so much to me about the love this generation of musicians brought to our sad world

it's really kind of beautiful

mindblowing

I think people hate on Staind hard for several reasons. First, "Staind."

this still makes me lol

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.

Actually Biloxi should hire Fred Durst to come out during a slow song during every touring artists' set there....like imagine Durst at a Leonard Cohen gig or something like that....”Suzanne takes you down” - BILOXI! - ”to her place by the river” - THIS IS THE REAL MOTHERFUCKIN' DEAL YALL!! - ”....and she gives you tea & oranges that come all the way from China” - I'm feelin' those lighters!

LOL

As boneheaded as his rant was, it's really not a good look to see the internet (other places this morning, not ilx) clowning him for calling these assholes out. We should definitely be making sure to shame the guy calling out this behavior, that's completely the best course of action.

I thought ppl liked that...?

yeah i didn't think that was boneheaded or a rant? that was righteous anger

that was the real muthafuckin deal yall

Because of the record's high recording budget of $800,000, there were many worries about whether or not the album would be successful, and the album almost had to top charts internationally just to break even with studio costs. Break the Cycle debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of at least 716,000 copies. It remained at the top the following week with 329,299 copies. In the third week it was number one again with 244,698 copies. In the fourth week it dropped to number 2 with 221,179 copies. It sold over 1,000,000 copies in the first 3 weeks. As of June 2006, it sold 5,467,000 copies in the U.S. alone. Break the Cycle also topped the UK charts, where it was certified platinum, in New Zealand and in Canada, where it had the multi-platinum status. The world sales are around 8 million copies.

What the hell was all that money spent on

I dunno. I've gone looking for an answer but it's uncited and I'm beginning to think it may just be wikipedia vandalism.

Recorded October 2000 – February 2001
Studio NRG Studios, Los Angeles, CA, Longview Farm Studios, North Brookfield, MA, Southbeach Studios, Miami Beach, FL and Electric Lady Recording Studio, NYC, NY

So, let's say they worked five days a week from 10/1-2/28 with a two-week vacation somewhere in the middle. Not everybody working all the time, but studios billing time the whole time. 23 weeks at several pretty pricey studios, I don't know all of these but just the rooms alone absolute bare minimum 500/day and probably more than that -- certain Electric Lady's more than that in '06. knock 25 days off the room rental at that doubtless-wrong rate and you're still spending 45 grand on the room. now pay the producer, his two assistants, catering, drum & guitar techs on call, housing, flights, and you're still only up to about 300k max. double the price of the room and your closer, but if a major label was getting billed 1k/day in 2006 then there's some funny math going on, wherefore I'm saying they spent the money on just being cool

*you're closer I can't let that shit sta(i)nd
