Aaron Lewis performing "Waste" Acoustic in Mohegan CT

[@crazy-yammir6920]

I never thought this song could be played acoustically and hearing it is so damn beautiful man. Aaron Lewis pulls off unplugged songs so well!

[@vincemata3889]

thats why I love staind they can make everything acoustic even their nu metal songs just watch staind mtv unplugged full acoustic performance by the band

[@Lawrence_Watts]

Man... That was just pure and raw emotion coming from Aaron... I wouldn't know where I'd be without him!

[@notmyname6872]

Oof, thats some powerful stuff man. I love Aaron Lewis. 🙌

[@xFizzyToXicCrowx]

I never knew what the song was about until today, and the song hits alot harder then before.

[@felixsaenz1420]

Fucking love Aaron Lewis and staind he such a badass with raw emotions badass song's they don't make rock music like this anymore.

[@Caffeineandcalisthenics]

If anybody doesn't know the story behind this song, here you go. .. This song is about a teenage kid who took his own life out of depression and misunderstanding.. then his mother devistated, confused and lost went out of her way to find Aaron Lewis and ask Aaron why her son committed suicide. This is because the kid loved staind and she found him still listening to their music at when she found him. She wanted to know if Aaron knew why her son killed himself. That's the gist of it, it's not quoted perfectly, buy that pretty much the story if I remember correctly . I read about it from one of his interviews more than a decade ago. The song hits you Alot harder, once you listen closely and know the back story.

[@coldstaind]

[@Torik5]

haha, I wondered why he paused: he's too awesome, man--he totally picks it back up, oh so nonchalant. XD This is one of my absolute favorite Staind songs, and Aaron is totally amazing & hilarious. :D

[@SageSinisterx]

Love this song way better than on acoustic tbh

[@nicknick3294]

if you knew what the song was about you would know why he paused in the beginning

[@davidalvarez2765]

fan killed himself while listening to a recording of himself singing outside

[@jayunitedwestand1810]

NO he paused because of something he seen in the croud...any staind fan knows what the song is about...can't wait to see he back with staind in Atlantic City this year!!

[@beausmith4764]

This song would be right up there with Jeremy from Pearl Jam as it’s kinda got the same meaning in some ways, it’s pretty dark and really hits hard when you’ve gone through or know someone who’s gone through the same shit

[@ivannava4732]

PUTA MADRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOT THE CHILLS

[@Karaj1979]

I think he forgot the words. god love him.

[@superman6210]

[@chrisjohnson7574]

Nah. Dramatic effect. He likes pauses

[@matt03beasty]

[@tommyd1111]
