I think this show is close to a sell out, if it's not already.  Aaron Lewis has a HUGE following.  Between being the lead singer of the rock band STAIND and now making his move into the country format, he has a ton of fans.  Myself included.  I love his voice!

Aaron has been known to walk off the stage when people in the crowd mess with him...so this is just a warning to anyone going to the show Sunday night.  Behave and go and enjoy a show you paid money to see.  That's what everyone wants.

He did a show in Texas earlier this week and the crowd wanted him to sing a song in Spanish and Aaron replied with this:

That was after hastily turning down a request to sing a song in Spanish.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak Spanish. I'm American,"

Well.... That didn't go over well.

Aaron told the crowd he wouldn't start until they were quiet....but in his defense...they were loud because they were probably drinking.   Some people shouted Lewis' message (in some very NSFW ways), while others continued to chatter. After about two minutes, Lewis walks back to his microphone, sets his guitar down and says goodnight.  It was almost the end of the night, he only had 1 or 2 songs left to play.

I want to go to the show sooooo bad!  If you go, take a bunch of pictures and send them my way

One of my favorite songs is this cover of Rascal Flatts "What Hurts The Most"
