2001, Im totally addicted to meth, lost in a town I didnt know, all I had on me were my clothes, a few personal items, my discman with Staind Break the Cycle, learned every word of the whole album, eventually Staind music help me quit drugs. Aaron Lewis is one of the most musically talented people on Gods green earth, lets all hope and pray he dont fall victem to the curses of being a superstar.
Danny, glad to hear you're improving your situation. Keep up the good work man! I think it's safe to say if he hasn't fallen victim yet, he's not going to. His shows are personal. It's quite an experience if you haven't seen him recently.
What you just shared hits me hard. We don't know each other but I want to tell you that I am so very proud of you no matter how you or what made you make the decision to stop. I lost my son at age 22 in 2014 to an accidental heroin OD and leaving his 5 year old daughter behind. My heart is forever broken. I am sure any and all of your friends and family would have been devastated as well. I'm sure you know it now that it was the best thing you could have ever done for yourself and all who love you. I can't express how much it means to me and probably many others I know to see even just one person fight the fight. Struggle through it and reach the highest step. Success. Please keep it up and keep fighting because you are stronger than the drug, remember that. xoxo
@@cheradubi1194 thank you for letting me know my words effect people in a positive way. Im very sorry for the pain youve experienced, especially in losing a child to addiction, its every parents nightmare that the next phone call will be "the one" when theyve got a child out runnin. You had to actually live that scenario or close to and thats a hard pill to swallow. I thank God everyday I made it out. Just know you will be reunited with your son when it comes time. Much love. Stay safe in these strange times.
The vast majority of gigs I go to the bands don't say a fucking word to the audience they just bang out their tunes. This bloke is a absolute gem and thoroughly fascinating to listen to.
When he’s playing live with Staind, he doesn’t talk at all. I just saw them a couple days ago and he didn’t say a single word to the crowd until the end and all it was “We’re Staind from Springfield, MA. God bless you and god bless America.” Drops the mic and walks off. That was the only disappointing part of the show.
He invokes true raw emotional substance and I can't get enough of his music. Seeing him perform live is definitely on my bucket list. Thank you Aaron Lewis for the blessing us with your talent, brevity, and longevity. "THE REAL MUTHERFUKKING DEAL Y'ALL!"
November 1 2021. I lost my mother to her battle against diabetes, dialysis, and 6 mini strokes. Back in 2,000 I was riding down a back road with my mom in her mini van listening to the radio and she says we can't change the station there's a song I heard on here and I want you to here it. It's from someone who I've never heard of but the lead singer from that biscuit band you like is on there.😄 A few minutes later I discovered a true gem. And who would eventually become my favorite artist ever. Fast forward to early 2021 I am putting my 1 year old down to sleep. I start singing lost and lonely and she instantly calms down. She emotionally connected to it in the way I'm connected to Outside with my mother. Aaron Lewis if you ever read this I can tell you of one family (3 generations) that you have had a profound impact on our lives! You've helped me through some dark times and I pray there's a day I get to see you live! My only regret is I didn't get to show this to my mother before she passed.
I lost my mother to the same thing. She really liked this guy. I introduced her to him a few years ago. God please watch over your mother in Heaven. I bet my mom met your mom and watching us right now. The pain is gone however, we will never forget.
I don’t ever really know how to express my feelings or the craziness spinning in my head, but Aaron Lewis Always seems to know Exactly how to Articulate My thoughts......... Good or Bad.... It is what it is....... Everyone else might seemed to have everything figured out, but I’m just trying my best....
Right now my mind is completely blown! I've loved this song and has been one of my favorites since it came out and just... wow! Such a great songwriter and it shows just how amazing people are and how some people are just made for this.
I was at that Show. Saw him perform it for the first time. Met him and Fred and Wes and lethal-right before he created it. Fred even went to meet his mom at the casino. Got photos with them all! Fred was super nice. Aaron was a bit nervous. Method man Red man. Primus. Filter. Korn. LB. Gosh what a great show. AMAZING mosh pits too.
@robby -The show outside was wrote at. And @phoenix,- that's fucking amazing! I can't remember if it was the first year or second but family values 99' in Indianapolis. It was one of the last shows at the market square arena. Some of the best times of my life. Straight up.
I had bought a night club (like a dumb ass). Had it packed out. And hired this most beautiful girl in the world and she was there working as my bartender. She’d been there 2 weeks.. I’d feel in love with her and she didn’t even know I like her. I got drunk one night and got on stage and sing this song in front of the whole night club and dedication it to her. We’ve been married for 3 years now. Thanks Arron for words I needed.
Can anyone say MEANT to be!!! We needed Stained + Aaron's voice is & was a Power house! His music got me through a lot of long, deep, dreary times. Always holds a special place with me!
I was one of the 14,000 people. I was with the people that I cared about most at the time, my friends, who had become my brothers. We all go through life, and we have amazing moments. Like when you meet the love of your life, or the birth of your children, and at those times you are like wow this is the happiest time in my life. But, then I hear this song, and I am immediately transported back to a time when I wasn't quite as grown up as I thought I was. A time where the stress of responsibility and the knowledge that I am not immortal were not even a concept that I would consider. Goosebumps rise, and my heart swells. That time, with those people was also the happiest time in my life. I am blessed beyond measure to have had an amazing life, that I hope doesn't end anytime soon, surrounded by people I love. There is never one happiest time in our lives. Thank you Aaron for being a big part of one of mine.
Thank you for this amazing information. You just made my day

I would be so psyched it would be my 5th show, the last one cost $9.11 no tax or fee and all money went to 911 cop&firefighter victims families. He's such a good dude and amazing live both solo and the band together
One hell of a great freakin story! That’s awesome! Another reason Aaron Lewis is at the top of my list. (Whether just partially true or not I don’t care..Aaron rocks)
It's just loud around the idiot with the phone recording the video that your ungrateful ass wants to complain about. It's not that bad in person seeing him perform. Shittons of idiots in the crowd, but the show is awesome.
Again... I would agree with you.. But go to a show and you're either an idiot screaming or lame as fuck not enjoying the show... But I went and I'm proud to admit I was one of them idiots screaming... Was a fan of Aaron when in stained and even more so now.. Dudes has a great energy and I can guarantee that you would be a part of that crowd screaming.. You know since they paid for the ticket and not watching it for free on RUclips
Wow I love this, had no idea, love that he said he fucked up the chord ont eh guitar and that one chord became legendary and such a key to the song, loved that part!
This is one of those amazing "lightning in a bottle" type moments. He had the bare bones of a song and didn't finish it until he was under the pressure of performing it in front of a very large crowd. And it all just came together so well. I am sure if he was able to spend more time developing the lyrics, he might have changed a few things, but what he came up with that night feels so perfect that he should not try to change it at all even if he feels it could be better. That is pure magic.
Yeah, sure , the crowd was yelling. It’s a rock concert! But notice how they immediately start singing with him the moment he transitions from story to song. That is the power of seeing an artist live.
for all who argue about the J-cat version. The end version is the "melody" similar but not the same. And lyrics except for the first parts with "all the times" and the refrain "I am on the outside" is nothing left from the J-cat version. They worked on the song for years but finished it live on stage. And it was their most important song for their career since then people know about them. Cuz it is a fucking masterpiece.
Thats why Aaron is a fuckin legend, making up lyrics while preforming in front of 14k people. What's just as amazing is that this song ended up being his most famous of his masterpieces!! Aaron Lewis thank you sir I dont know you and you dont dont know me but man I gotta say I fuckin love you, your music and your voice has stayed my hand when I felt I couldnt keep goin in life. Not only have you saved my life through your music but it went even further by pullin me out of the dark.
Great video. I saw him the very next night in Lake Charles, La. It was my 7th time to see him live overall. I saw him twice with Staind and five times since he went country. He didnt tell this story that night but I had heard it before. He is my all time favorite musician.
To all those folks who didn't get to see a concert, like one from this fine fellow that would have been a few weeks ago for me, because of this virus, I say hang in there - our concert going days will be back and we'll be able to enjoy this kind of greatness in person again. Stay safe friends.
Idk why I was laughing so hard watching this! As if I was there. Maybe it's being in your mid 40s and looking at your life and can totally relate! He's a funny f+cker isn't he! Love this!
Went to his show in July in Connecticut and he announced that Staind was back together and coming to Connecticut in October. I see Aaron every year at Foxwoods and in 2019, i got to see him twice. Once with his country band and Staind. Check out Staind @ Foxwoods October 6, 2019 on here. The whole concert was FIRE!
Stained and Puddle of Mud were my first concert in Darmstadt Germany 🇩🇪 back in like 2001-02 And I was as close as this recording lol. Loved every second of it!
I was at that show in Biloxi. No on knew who they were at the time, but immediately following the opening set there was 14,000 Staind fans clamoring for more.
saw the band at thier peak in char nc....they were awesome...he told everyone on the lawn out back to come down front..so people jumped the wall. cool guy.
I KNEW that he freestyle'd that song!!! I've been saying it for year's! So cool. I write song's, and I've definitely freestyle'd song's on the fly. I knew it. So amazing to hear him confirm it ✊🏽.
I could listen to him for hours, I know the pain of addiction, I am a heroin addict and I am very thankful to have some clean time and I have lost my brother to addiction. Died on my birthday and his music really keeps me in touch with myself. Thanks Aaron for all!!!!
It's only half truth. The story happend at 'family values tour' with Limp Bizkit, Korn and other bands. But Aaron says that on that moment he didn't write the song yet. Well, it's not true. He wrote 'outside' in early 90' (92 or 93 im not sure), with the band JCAT (check it out on youtube). After that he didn't play this song for a long time. He played a part of Outside at Fred Durst house right after he put them into his record label (somwhere about 99 i think). And at the family values tour, he remembered only the chorus and chord progression. So yes - he made up the verses, but in fact, he wrote the song a long time before that. So actualy there are two versions of this song - staind one, and JCATs one - check them on youtube, they're both awesome.
It would help to understand that over time, there is probably thousands of sound checks, different songs, other things going through your mind at that time....like the energy of 14,000 people.
Caught this one with my buddy, bobby o and will do it again. Aaron has a tremendous voice, the venue dictates the level of input from crowd. Regardless, great artist and show.
I've watched 1000 videos of RUTLANDS OWN.....i picked up a Guitar 2 learn THIS TUNE!!!.......2 hear this from his mouth....makes ALL the (I can't even touch those 6 stings anymore because my fingers hurt so bad!!!) all worth while!! He puts Fred n Limp Buiskit to SHAME!!!! #802 #802 #802. We LOVE YOU Here A.L.!!! come back to the Paramount Theater EVERY MONTH !!! You're Beyond an inspiration, Youre a music GOD!!! fucking INSPIRING Is an UNDERSTATEMENT! CAN'T WAIT 2 see u again next year brother!!!
HE TRULY IS THE REAL MUTHRFUKIN DEAL RIGHT HERE YALL!!!💯💯I’ve watched that Video Everything he describes is Exactly WTF Happened! Damn I wished I was there when they sang that for the 1st time! I know I remember the 1st time I heard this Song it was the Live version of Outside with Fred Durst and I was like damn this song is 🔥 AF!! Aaron Lewis is Truly A one of kind Singer & Song Writer! ✊🏼🤘💯
Love that your real through all the metal u always had an acoustic guitar just like me love ya brother they stereo typed you not u typing yourself been a fan since the first time I saw I with acoustic guitar
I’m from Mass and have seen Staind probably 15-20 times and I remember the first time they played it in Massachusetts that tour. It was at the Centrum Center in Worcester, Ma. The place was fkn sold out and I was probably like 16ish. They played with Korn I believe and I think Mindless Self Indulgence. They ended up releasing a live cd version of that and it got air play on WAAF 107.3 radio station in Boston. And I remember that version of that fucking song was on the radio 3 times every hour for like 2 years straight after that lol it was awesome, it sounded way better than this version he is telling us about with Fred Durst. He had a cool amount of reverb on his voice and guitar and it just sounded fucking awesome. Check it out on RUclips.
Thanks for the video, I am not native English speaker, having difficulty in hraring the speech clearly. Can someone kindly give the summary of the story Aaron told about the song please...
Essentially, he walked into a band called Limp Bizkit’s dressing room, and was talking with the lead singer Fred Durst, about doing an acoustic song, and Fred says to Aaron “let’s do the one you wrote in my house years ago” and Aaron was like “sure!” But he only had the Chorus written, so he was sweating like crazy, having to make up most of the song on the spot in front of 14,000 people and Fred Durst.
I miss all the anger , angst and pain that stained and other grunge metal bands pumped out, other then goodsmack dropping something new now and then there is just no music coming out these days that even comes close since cornell died.
Exactly why I won’t go to one of his solo shows again.. people get ridiculously drunk and don’t shut the fuck up.. all the respect to him love staind and his solo.
Aaron... thank you... I truly had zero clue about the purgatory you were in singing this in front of all those completely hammered rah tards! Kudos beotche!!🙏
I'll never forget Family Values tour 1999 Staind had just played and the whole place went dark for a minute and I had shity seats but when the lights came back on it was him and Fred Durst they had Clear the Stage and this song came on and I can remember very distinctly the floor coming out from underneath my feet and I was not jumping the reaction in the moment was something I will never forget for the rest of my life!!!!
2001, Im totally addicted to meth, lost in a town I didnt know, all I had on me were my clothes, a few personal items, my discman with Staind Break the Cycle, learned every word of the whole album, eventually Staind music help me quit drugs.

Randi Takatch Aaron Lewis live is amazing. Best live voice ever.
Big facts!
I saw him on 2015 golden nugget Atlantic city awsome show
Saw him just last week, he is amazing live. I will be going again! He played on and on way past stopping time. You get your moneys worth with Aaron.
Live is the way to see Aaron Lewis!!
Really wish all the people would have shut up. While he was telling his story.
Aaron is known for telling the audience members to STFU! SO WE CAN HEAR HIM BUT I GUESS HE JUST WINGED IT AND SAID FCK IT.
It's called Admiration. They adore him. If you were there you would too.

Just saw Aaron again last night 03/09/19 he hinted that Staind was going to tour next year and they would have 5 shows this year!!!!!
Bryan Reay I better be alive for it.
Thank you for this amazing information. You just made my day
I would be so psyched it would be my 5th show, the last one cost $9.11 no tax or fee and all money went to 911 cop&firefighter victims families. He's such a good dude and amazing live both solo and the band together
He must've looked at his checking account.
Oh how I Envy you!
Will you Please please ( On my knees ) Ask him to get over here to the UK?!
We need The 'Aaron Lewis' 'Experience' I Love this guy!
The people that went to that concert are the luckiest people ever. Wish I was there they need to go on tour again
One hell of a great freakin story! That’s awesome! Another reason Aaron Lewis is at the top of my list. (Whether just partially true or not I don’t care..Aaron rocks)
I never knew this til he just told it and it is simply amazing he could do that
True raw artist!! The best!! You can feel his music go through into your whole body.
His voice and his soul also.
Totally agree. Saw him 2 weeks ago and mind… totally blown! Always have been a fan but there is something about watching him live… wow. AMAZING 🤩
Agree Denam!
Aaron Lewis is truly telling a brilliant story & it's not hard for him to please his Fan's he's amazingly talented🥀☝️🥀
the damn crowd needs to shut up and enjoy it not yet and i cant hear what he has to say omgosh they can yell after the fact

This song was the first song i learned to play on the guitar
I just broke up with my GF then I found this song. It fits and gave me the strength to not pick up the phone... I can see everything!
It's been out since like 2001 or some shit like that 😂
I just heard it. So sue me.
I feel you bro . Best wishes to you

Cuz he is wonderful my little sugarskull
"Well it all started when someone was talking during my show......"
Did y'all hear the lady yell "would you shut the fuck up"
Great video. I saw him the very next night in Lake Charles, La. It was my 7th time to see him live overall. I saw him twice with Staind and five times since he went country. He didnt tell this story that night but I had heard it before. He is my all time favorite musician.
I was at the LC show as well. Saw him the year before as well.
Darth Roth Same here. Had front row seats last year but we had fourth row center this year.
Front row center right this year. I'm already planning for next year
We'll be there each and every time he comes to the area or anywhere close.
This is FANTASTIC!!! Aaron Lewis is a legend. Legends live FOREVER!!!!!

I agree would be great if people would’ve been quiet, yet hearing the story, I got chills. Classic song n incredible how it was made.
Stained and Puddle of Mud were my first concert in Darmstadt Germany 🇩🇪 back in like 2001-02 And I was as close as this recording lol. Loved every second of it!
Fred durst made that possible
That explanation made me cry as I’ve always felt emotions I haven’t been able feel for message you send in your music.
I was at that show in Biloxi. No on knew who they were at the time, but immediately following the opening set there was 14,000 Staind fans clamoring for more.
I bought the Family values album on CD so I feel like I was there 🤣🤣🤣

Was at that Family Values show and saw this. Didnt know who they were at the time, and found out about this back story later.
A MUST WATCH for any fan.
Very grateful to get to see it.
🤘😎
Dude looks like Negan... from Walking Dead. Wow the talent.
I just saw him live this past Friday. I told my friend the same thing...🙂. Jeffrey Dean Morgan look-alike.
Gins Aaron’s been around since 1998 lol. That walking dead dude is his lookalike.
"Little pig! Little Pig!
LET! ME! IN!"
No. Negan looks like him.
I could listen to him for hours, I know the pain of addiction, I am a heroin addict and I am very thankful to have some clean time and I have lost my brother to addiction. Died on my birthday and his music really keeps me in touch with myself. Thanks Aaron for all!!!!
Well , didn't know the story! Truly amazing!
It's only half truth. The story happend at 'family values tour' with Limp Bizkit, Korn and other bands. But Aaron says that on that moment he didn't write the song yet. Well, it's not true. He wrote 'outside' in early 90' (92 or 93 im not sure), with the band JCAT (check it out on youtube). After that he didn't play this song for a long time. He played a part of Outside at Fred Durst house right after he put them into his record label (somwhere about 99 i think). And at the family values tour, he remembered only the chorus and chord progression.
So yes - he made up the verses, but in fact, he wrote the song a long time before that. So actualy there are two versions of this song - staind one, and JCATs one - check them on youtube, they're both awesome.
Will check this out . Thanks

Thanks cliff! Lol
He pretty much says that in this video.
It would help to understand that over time, there is probably thousands of sound checks, different songs, other things going through your mind at that time....like the energy of 14,000 people.
This could be the greatest RUclips video I have ever watched!!! Amazing stuff, thanks 👍
I’ve never forget when I first heard outside! 4:30 am driving back from a long night of pubin and bar hopping in the Caribbean! Good Times! 🤣🙌🏽💜
His music helped me through a nasty divorce. My kids grew up to his music. Feel these lyrics
So glad to see him getting back into staind .
He's always been part he's the lead singer they just quit touring
Aaron Lewis changed my life. He changed the way I think about my own way of doing things. I feel his soul in his music. I feel his pain.
Caught this one with my buddy, bobby o and will do it again. Aaron has a tremendous voice, the venue dictates the level of input from crowd. Regardless, great artist and show.

I wish I could hear the story but I couldn't because of the screems and yels
he makes me proud to be part of his generation
Watched him play in Dub Iowa friday night hes awesome person that speaks in what he believes.
Caught a bolt of lightning in a Mason jar. May or may not have drank the Moonshine From.
A-Low35 Must have been that Tennessee moonshine... 😆
This Man is so Authentic genuine and amazing.
Ya and let's go Brandon!
He seems very drunk at the stage. But I think he can sing this song anytime in any situation.
Love his stories behind his music!❤
I’m from Mass and have seen Staind probably 15-20 times and I remember the first time they played it in Massachusetts that tour. It was at the Centrum Center in Worcester, Ma. The place was fkn sold out and I was probably like 16ish. They played with Korn I believe and I think Mindless Self Indulgence. They ended up releasing a live cd version of that and it got air play on WAAF 107.3 radio station in Boston. And I remember that version of that fucking song was on the radio 3 times every hour for like 2 years straight after that lol it was awesome, it sounded way better than this version he is telling us about with Fred Durst. He had a cool amount of reverb on his voice and guitar and it just sounded fucking awesome. Check it out on RUclips.
Wow....Mississippi Coast Colosseum....I saw Ozzy and CandleBox there back in the day. Great memories.
Can't stand when people yell if an artist says one damn word. They can say, hey then you hear woooo. Let the man talk.
People can’t control themselves screaming an yelling while he’s talking lmao
I love how ppl go crazy just by him explaining the song
I wish if the crowd would just shut up so I could hear everything that he says, sheesh,
Crazy to see him with hair lol.
Alejandro Huerta yeah lol
He looks sexy as hell to me. 😉
Buying this now on iTunes

Аарон, ты офигенный малый) привет тебе из россии)
imo one of the best songs you have.. winging it or not.. . it still tears me apart.. .fuck my ex.. lol
Thanks for the video, I am not native English speaker, having difficulty in hraring the speech clearly. Can someone kindly give the summary of the story Aaron told about the song please...
Essentially, he walked into a band called Limp Bizkit’s dressing room, and was talking with the lead singer Fred Durst, about doing an acoustic song, and Fred says to Aaron “let’s do the one you wrote in my house years ago” and Aaron was like “sure!” But he only had the Chorus written, so he was sweating like crazy, having to make up most of the song on the spot in front of 14,000 people and Fred Durst.
@@Gdog692 thank you
Awesome🥁 🥁performance🥁 my dear friend's!!!.....🍻🍻🍻 Hats off🎼🙏🏼🎼 from 🍃🌹🍃~...~🕊{David L lynn}🕊~...~🍃🌹🍃
(U know)....(LANE)....LOL....🎼🙏🏼🎼🍻🥁🥁🥁
Even though he made it up on the spot it's still better than today's crap that they have to think about or not think about .
His voice ❤️
amazing!!
I miss all the anger , angst and pain that stained and other grunge metal bands pumped out, other then goodsmack dropping something new now and then there is just no music coming out these days that even comes close since cornell died.
Exactly why I won’t go to one of his solo shows again.. people get ridiculously drunk and don’t shut the fuck up.. all the respect to him love staind and his solo.
Most of his songs hit me right at my heart ♿😎💗
What about JCAT being 1997 or 8??? Thats the original 7 minute song with the most raw emotions
Aaron... thank you... I truly had zero clue about the purgatory you were in singing this in front of all those completely hammered rah tards! Kudos beotche!!🙏
its a beautiful song!!!! for sure...
This might be the most incredible thing every!!
Where's the love button?
Lots of love ❤
I'll never forget Family Values tour 1999 Staind had just played and the whole place went dark for a minute and I had shity seats but when the lights came back on it was him and Fred Durst they had Clear the Stage and this song came on and I can remember very distinctly the floor coming out from underneath my feet and I was not jumping the reaction in the moment was something I will never forget for the rest of my life!!!!
