Rock World Merch

Hey guys. I’m wondering if anyone else has had problems with the company Rock world merch. I bought two Staind shirts weeks ago and it says it still hasn’t shipped. I tried to contact them with no answer. I saw they opened my message in Instagram but never responded. I told them “hey I completely understand if you guys can’t fill my order but please let me know”. I haven’t heard from anyone. Thanks for any advice.

Can’t Believe

What an amazing song. I listened to the Nu Metal (forgive me) era albums of the early 2000s and when Chapter V came out I had that on repeat for a long time but that was my extent of listening to Staind. Fast forward almost 20 years and I decided to put on Break the Cycle earlier this year as I realised that I had never listened to it in full, when I got To Can’t Believe I was blown away, it went straight on repeat for a long time (compulsive repeat listener here). I’ve got a new found respect for Staind now and I’ve worked through their discography which I should’ve done years ago. Back to Can’t Believe: I found the Unplugged version of it and it’s just incredible, are there any DVD, CD or even bootleg releases of it?

Mike Mushok: 🎸legend and a kindest, humble dude. Thanks for the quick chat & Autograph in Phoenix Mike!!

was blessed enough to meet the band , watch the Phoenix show from the stage and pit… honestly, Mike was the only autograph I wanted. Aaron is Aaron, cool guy and a most brilliant singer/ lead… but acts the part…caring more about his cigarettes and weed. Mike on the other hand… wow… just such a friendly, normal, down to earth guy who appreciates every single fan. while in the pit, i swear Mike tossed out atleast 40-50 guitar picks with a smile.

Staind @ Phoenix 10/18/24 - From The Pit ☠️🤘🏼 ENJOY!! (how chain smoking aaron and company still bring it like this is surreal).

diehard staind fan, but no “cap” (pun intended) hats off to the headliner Breaking Benjamin for following up such a historic, household rock name with the best performance of the night. #staind #breakingbenjamin

Opinions on Staind live?

I’ve seen Staind in concert two times. And I think they sound really good and give a good performance. I was wondering what your opinions are for how they perform, sound, etc?

Longtime fan here, not a fan of Aaron's new style, if that's what it is.

Just left the dallas concert a bit disappointed. Mainly at Aaron. Don't like his growl he's decided to add into his classics. Has he just been taking classes from Aaron Bruch along the tour and thought he should give it a go? No, it sounded bad. Hope this isn't the new norm. I like my death metal separate from my Staind.

Hot Take: Illusion of Progress is better than Chapter V and 14 Shades of Gray

IoP doesn’t have the big hits that Chapter V and 14SoG has, but it’s a more complete project,

I can play IoP without skipping any songs. I always have to skip a few on Chapter V and 14SoG

Help me find mudshovel version

Have you guys heard a mudshovel version where he screams the words, mudshovel over and over, like at the end and in the middle where he says it. I'm 100% sure I heard one where he was screaming MUDSHOVEL but I cannot find it anymore.

Do they do this at the end of every show?

Saw Staind in Nampa the other week since they’re touring with Breaking Benjamin. They sounded good, but ended the show with a loud “F Joe Biden, Trump Vance 2024” wondering if that was just for the area or if it’s a regular thing?

First Time Here. Random, probably done a million times post…try to forgive me

Got on tear running through old vids I loved as a kid (55 now). Still love them. I hit “For You” and was punched in the gut. Was transported immediately to the way I felt as a kid…this video encapsulates so much of what my childhood (esp teens) was like. Still huge fan of this band, but really forgot how powerful this song and vid are.
