We were very lucky to get 2nd row seats, front and center to the Aaron Lewis concert in Melbourne on Thursday.  It was very raw, personal, unproduced, and very real.  Just Aaron, Ben and a few Gibson’s.  If you came to see Staind, you bought tickets to the wrong show!! This is “keeping it simple”.  We weren’t sure what to expect, but  left extremely impressed!!  He held nothing back.  He really put ’em out there!  In short, Aaron is keeping true to himself.  There is no doubt, whatsoever, he loves what he does for a living.  He is an artist.  On top of that, he is quite the philanthropist as well.  If you get the chance, you won’t regret seeing him live, solo.  Until then, the new solo album, the follow-up to Town Line should be out this spring.  Here are some videos embedded from youtube.com.
