STAIND Covers TOOL, ALICE IN CHAINS In Rare Acoustic Show

September 8, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: STAIND covered TOOL's "Sober", ALICE IN CHAINS' "Nutshell" and PINK FLOYD's "Comfortably Numb" during a rare acoustic show on Wednesday night (September 7) in New York City. The gig at the Maritime Hotel's Hiro Ballroom was recorded and filmed for inclusion on the band's upcoming greatest hits album, due out on November 14. The show also included a selection of hits, lesser known album tracks, and a song called "Something Like Me", which didn't make the final track listing of the band's latest album, "Chapter V".

STAIND will stay on the road until early October, after which the band will take what singer Aaron Lewis calls some "much-needed" time off. Lewis told Launch that one thing the members of STAIND won't do during the break is see each other. "You know, I think one of the secrets to why our band has lasted as long as it has is because we don't hang out at all when we're not on the road," he said. "We're from four completely different circles of people, and it's kinda good, when we go home, we just don't even see each other or run into each other for any reason whatsoever until it's time to go back out on tour. So I think maybe that's why we've lasted as long as we have."

Lewis is planning his first full-length solo tour for early 2007.

The quartet continues to headline across the U.S. in support of last year's "Chapter V". They play tonight (Friday, September 8) in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The latest single from "Chapter V" is "King Of All Excuses", which Lewis said was written about the first contractor he hired to build his house.
