It has been said that first impressions last a lifetime. Luckily for Staind, some only last for about 45 minutes. After a volatile disagreement with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst o'er some of Staind's early cover artwork, it seemed their big break in had walked out the door. Fortunately, by the time Durst had witnessed Staind's intense live show, he was ready to exchange headphone book of Numbers.
Staind's storey began in the New England country when vocalist Aaron Lewis and guitar player Mike Mushok met at a Christmas company in 1993. Mushok was able to get drummer Jon Wysocki into the plica, and Lewis' connectedness with a bass player (wHO by and by left) realised the former lineup. Establishing themselves took time, and extensive touring of the Northeast with other constituted alloy acts helped them sell all over 2,000 copies of their self-released debut in just over a year. They were set for their big break, and on October 23, 1997, the concentrated work paid turned.
At a prove in Hartford, CT, Staind was all set to open for Limp Bizkit when Bizkit vocalist Durst raised a stink over overcompensate art on Staind's self-released CD. After a heated up conversation over whether or non Staind were Satan worshipers, Durst forcefully returned the disc to the set, and walked away. But 45 transactions later Durst was back, non to further the argument, merely to shit sure he unbroken in link with Staind. Blown away by their live show, Durst exchanged earpiece numbers pool, and loved their demonstration magnetic tape when they gave it to him. He confident them to move around to Jacksonville, FL, to work on the unexampled songs.
After reworking the new material and a successful live show, Durst contacted the head of Flip Records and arranged a coming together for Staind with the label. While in Los Angeles, a three-song taste-tester was recorded, and by the time February rolled around in 1998, the band had a record book care. After playing the Vans Warped Tour, they began work on their first album, Disfunction. The album was produced by Terry Date (Deftones, Pantera, Soundgarden) and was released April 13, 1999. A tour with Kid Rock followed that spring and later the band reunited with practiced friends Limp Bizkit for a summer circuit. Their follow-up, Go against the Cycle, enjoyed a lengthened visit at the telephone number ane spot on U.S. charts in 2001. Smash hits like "It's Been a While," "Fade," "For You," and "Three Kings' Day" catapulted Staind into the mainstream, leaving their 2002 DVD MTV Unplugged to go gold. Staind released 14 Shades of Grey in spring 2003, and after a biennial recrudesce returned with the chart-topping Chapter V, named to include their self-released debut in the Staind canon.
