STAIND NO MORE?
From Blabbermouth.net via MTV News:
MTV.com reports: An Ohio musician has filed a petition in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office against STAIND, claiming that the band obtained legal use of the name STAIND through fraudulent practices. If Jon Stainbrook, who fronted a band called the STAIN, wins, Aaron Lewis' band could be forced to change its name. Stainbrook had prevailed previously in a similar dispute, resulting in the Los Angeles band LIT having to change their name from STAIN.
Whether they will remain known as "Staind" is besides the point.
I just don't want to have to put with another album from this band that features crap like "So Far Away". Man, I can't begin to explain how disappointed I was about their last album "14 Shades of Grey". I loved the first single, "Price To Play". But then Staind decides to release "So Far Away" as a single. It doesn't help that the small-market radio stations decided to play that song over and over again.
Basically, Staind's next album has to have more songs like "Price To Play".
Got it? More songs like "Price To Play". Less songs like "So Far Away". I hope I'm being clear on this.
