Slow Success Keeps Staind Tight-Knit

Staind guitarist Mike Mushok credits the group’s slow rise to success as part of the reason why the band remains tight-knit. “Success was a little later in life,” he tells the Associated Press. “I think we were kind of all who we were, where I think if it happens when you’re like 18 or 20 or something, or younger, you can be a lot more influenced, you’d get caught up in it more.”
