Aaron provides insight on solo debut

Aaron recently gave insight on his solo cd on the Staind.com forum, check below to read his comments of all he could divulge.

"if its insight you are looking for its insight i will give........
the record as you call it will be more of an ep if you will. Im sick of wasting singles on clueless executives that think THEY know what YOU want to hear......so it will be a 6 songs for six bucks scenario. I know.... thats lame.....but not my fault Im just addressing the problems with putting so many songs out there in a singles driven market where people refuse to pay the rediculously inflated prices that the record stores ,that are still in business, have to charge. please remember that in this beautiful free market that we have ,this is the niche ive carved out for myself and its a business. im doing the best i can to be a business man when im not being creative. This is my job!! isnt capitalism great!!!! sorry i digress. it will debut in a manner that might seem confusing to some but lots of sleep has been lost trying to come up with the right way to get it out. the problem is that no one nows what to do with it The record label rock radio dept. said it wasnt rock enough The next logical move was the country radio dept.. They said it wasnt country enough yeah thats right!!! i said it !!!! COUNTRY. the closest representation of what these songs sound like are the youtube performances where ben kitterman (my bus driver ) is playing his acoustic dobro with me (see videos section above) so yeah country. If anything they are even more country now cause i went to nashville and worked with THE James Stroud (look his ass up on google) and had some of the finest session musicians nashville has to offer,and my bus driver, :-) play on the tracks. country boy will be the first single. charlie daniels plays the fiddle on it along with giving us a piece of his mind......george jones sings the voice of the devil.....chris young sings harmonies with me on the third verse.................i really cant tell you any more......youll just have to keep an eye on the unexpected music video channels in the next month or so and see for yourself heheh"
