Springfield MA, United States (1995 – present)

Staind formed on November 24, 1995 in Springfield, Massachusetts. After meeting through friends and covering KoRn, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains, among others, in smalltime clubs for a year and a half, Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996, citing influences Pantera and Sepultura. Until recently, the album was difficult to obtain, as only four thousand copies were originally sold. Since then, the band’s official website has released the album to meet the demand from fans.

During this time, Staind played a show with Limp Bizkit. When Fred Durst saw the controversial cover of the group’s self produced album, Tormented, he tried to have the band kicked off the bill, but when he saw the band’s live show, he changed his tone and befriended them. Durst later sang backup on the live version of Outside, which was recorded at a Family Values Tour concert in Biloxi, MS, in late October 1999. Durst went on to be one of the executive producers for Dysfunction and Break the Cycle. He also directed a few videos for the band later on, including It’s Been Awhile.

Dysfunction

The band’s big break came in October 1997 after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst witnessed the band open up for them at a Hartford, Connecticut show, eventually signed them to his Flip record label, and co-produced their 1999 breakthrough Dysfunction with Terry Date.

It's Been A While gave them a top 10 hit, but for me Believe, So Far Away and Right Here are my favs.

Aaron Levis is GOD ! I saw them two days ago in NOVAROCK and i was just blown away from his amazing vocals and the power of his emotions in his voice.

I think that if the longer standing fans of Staind had the top tracks, the top 15 would be a LOT different. Mine: 1. Mudshuvel 2. Open Your Eyes 3. Can't Believe 4. Falling Down 5. Raw

They should be making more like the old stuff, way better in my opinion. New stuff is nice, but old is way, way better.
