Label: Big Machine Records LLC

If you are a resident of these United States of America I hope that you already know that today is “Flag Day” and if you don’t, then you surely need a bit of a lesson about the important dates of our fine nation. Speaking musically, there is one person who’s proven to be a staunch supporter of the country and its armed forces is Aaron Lewis who the rockers know full well as the founder and lead singer of Staind. For the last couple of years the singer has been doing a more country styled vibe with his material and in honor of the day has issued his latest single “Folded Flag”. Here are some thoughts about the tune.

Artist: Staind
Venue: Best Buy Theater (New York, NY)
Opener: n/a
Date: 9/15/2011
Label: Atlantic Records

I think it’s pretty safe to say that I have not experienced a musical week like this particular one ever before and here is why. If you’ve been paying attention to our stories here on PiercingMetal.com, you will know that not only did we lay our level of Metal media scrutiny on the Metal Masters clinic, the not-so secret Anthrax show and the Road Recovery benefit honoring Slash this week, but also the mighty Big Four tour and the Doro Pesch and Arch Enemy shows that preceded the week as well. If you were a fan of the live concert scene and going to shows there was truly no better place to be than New York City this past week and a half. That being said the excitement would continue with this evening’s concert by Staind and here is how that show went down for those who were not able to make it.
