INTERESTING Music History
1999
In Biloxi, Mississippi, on the last stop of The Family Values Tour, Aaron Lewis of Staind captivates the crowd with the debut performance of "Outside," leading the way for their breakout album, Break The Cycle.
After Staind's set, lead singer Aaron Lewis moves to the front of the stage; Durst grabs a mic and sits beside him. With just his acoustic guitar, Lewis plays a new song called "Outside," which he's been working on for about five years - he performed early versions of it with his pre-Staind band J-CAT. Typical Lewis, it's a window into the dark feelings that lurk inside him, as he sings about seeing the true colors of one who is ugly like him.
