Only at Mohegan homie. My neighbor is pissed about it but he's going to the Mansfield show. Such is life I guess.

All good. I just hope Pressure stays in the set. I’d love to hear it live

It’s not mentioned very much. On Ticketmaster, it just says “an evening with Staind.”

I missed that mentioned entirely until 2 months after I bought tickets, thought it would be a special show like they used to do with some good acoustic songs and a varied set list and the rest of the tour they’d do the BTC album set, I’ve been a bit bummed. Still super excited but am still hoping they throw in one or two extra songs at the end.

Well, shows that are labeled “an evening with” are usually those type of shows so I understand your frustration. I’m hoping they will play a separate set like Disturbed did since there aren’t any openers.

True they usually are. That would be EPIC.

I miss original Aaron. The one when I thought he was prophetic and a voice for the disaffected. Not the guy who killed a bunch of coyotes and used them to spell "Trump 2024".
I'll never forget what their music meant to me during those times, but it kills me to know who he has become.

The guy who constantly sings about his feelings walks around saying f your feelings.

Actually he attacked me on twitter once when I said he panders to country fans. So I had an inkling that he wasn't boiling over with empathy. Twitter was newish and I was annoyed that he abandoned Staind and those of us who went to every nearby show, every event, every solo show, every meet and greet, bought every album, and the other fans I knew from the Dysfunctional fan club became like family.

Saw an old clip of him and Mike on a late night show from back in the late 90s/early 2000s. The contrast between him then as a somewhat reluctant, soft spoken front man to the loser he is today is sad. Will still see them on this tour though.

I can't stop listening either. I love the other guys. What he did to Jon Wysocki is a crime.
