STAIND: Milan Interview, Performance, Meet-And-Greet Footage Posted Online

July 23, 2009

The Italian branch of Roadrunner Records has uploaded a five-minute video clip (see below) featuring footage of STAIND's June 15, 2009 performance and meet-and-greet at Alcatraz in Milan, Italy, along with short interview with frontman Aaron Lewis conducted by Guitar Club magazine.

Lewis revealed in a recent interview that he plans to get down to business and finally record his debut solo album this fall, after STAIND finishes up its "Stimulate This" summer tour. As for how his solo material will compare to what he does with STAIND, Lewis told The Pulse of Radio, "It's gonna be actually quite different. You know, I don't want to come out and do a solo record that's gonna be 'STAIND light.' You know, it just, it needs to be different and it's going to be. I don't want to give too much away, you know, but it's going to be very different. Chances are I won't even sing the same way as that I normally do. It's gonna definitely be different."

Lewis has done solo tours every winter for the past several years, usually playing casinos and small venues. He's tested out some solo material at these gigs.

STAIND kicked off the "Stimulate This" tour on July 1 in Peoria, Illinois, as the band continues to support 2008's "The Illusion Of Progress" album.

The trek, which also includes SHINEDOWN, CHEVELLE and HALESTORM, is working with promoters to give concertgoers breaks on concessions, parking and products from local businesses.
