He is the Man in my book!! He's proof anyone can have struggles, add some determination, drive & in Aaron's case 1 HELL of a talented musician, skies the limit! Ty Aaron, Your voice & music have gotten me through some VERY dark days you could probably relate too!! Ma. & all the way to Cali love & respect you + your passion & talent !!!!
Have been a Staind/Aaron Lewis fan since I saw them play Family Values...I'm going through a tough divorce from my wife right now and hearing Aaron play this song has brought me to my knees tonight...What hurts the most is loving someone who no longer loves you and you don't know why!
Hey Gilly! I hear you Brother, and I have empathy for you too... Took almost four years to end my marriage on March 27th of 2018... Today is the anniversary of the ending of my marriage at about 9:20 pm tonight four years ago June 19th, 2014... Almost lost everything.... In some ways I did... Just not my kids... I think my kids love and admire me more now than they did when I was home... Get up each day and keep moving... that's all I did. Best Wishes, Brett
What hurts the most is being so close and having so much to say and watching you walk away and never knowing what could of been......❤❤ his voice and guitar!!!!
simple.. is key in life. He played the chords and sang the lyrics as he can do well. Dont mess with it. just like cooking....keep it simple...enjoyed it..hope you all did too.
Rascal Flatts is very well respected in the music industry. There songs are well written and Gary LeVox is a talented musician. The ones that hate are the ones that are jealous of their talent. You see music for what it is and not what you want it to be.
Rascal Flatts version is a cover as well. Aaron's cover blows theirs out of the water. This song is by Jeffrey Steele. Jeffrey wrote the song after all.
The song is not a Rascal Flatts “cover”. It was written by American songwriter Jeffrey Steele and English songwriter Steve Robson. Pls give them the appropriate credit. Aaron Lewis cover is fantastic and he usually gives the writer credit.
I wonder how it was before you were famous. I too am from the Western mass area, however, originally from Quebec Canada. Felt like I had to move out of state in hopes that my music get a chance. Anyhow, maybe we could collaborate some time, I’d really like that 😊🌹🎶
What Hurts the Most is a song written by Jeffrey Steele. Rascal Flatts did sing the song, but Jeff wrote it in memory of his 13 year old son who died in a RTV accident. Aaron decided to start singing it after he heard the original version done by Jeff because gave the song a different meaning.
Lee Gunter No. Originally, he had wanted to write a song about the loss of his father, but instead went with a more universal theme of lost love. The song was released in 2003. His son was killed in a ATV accident on Sunday, January 28, 2007.
It's not really a cover of a Rascal Flatts' song. Rascal Flatts was covering the song originally sang by Mark Wills and written by others. Aaron is just out of this world. No one in country or rock can touch his voice.
this isn't a rascal flats cover, it's a Jeffrey Steele cover. he made it clear in concert that when he heard the original it gave him a different feeling on the song and it grew on him
Rascal really did a awesome version but he didnt make the song like this way.The way makes me feel so deep and blue, i can feel sth that are so true, so much misery
Obviously nobody here knows how song written works. Jeffery wrote it, rascal Flatts was pitched the song in 2005 and recorded it and this dude covered it. Neither this guy or the three men of RF wrote this song. Just because someone sings a song doesn't mean they wrote it. Although rascal Flatts version isn't a cover cause it was actually pitched to them for that specific album and they worked with Jeffery on afew other songs. This however is a cover
Compare this live version to the one he did in London and the difference in the crowds. The people in London were so much more respectful during his performance.
he is so stoned and still so fucking great. I support 420 all the way. A Wsome shows how it will ;lkj;lkej;gkejg;ke ;lkjvcpowuitpwojrgp;wrotgpowuhjpioe what the fuck@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still great , he's amazing. thnank you
pretty much they are just bored n venting. me im not a fan of country or the rascal flatts version, its not close jeffery or aarons. thats music, you like what you like. plus i aint got time to bitch n moan who is better, ill just listen to what i feel is better n respect the music in all itself, salute!🍻
Completely wrong. Aaron even states before many of his performances of this song that it was written by Jeffrey Steele (and Steve Robson). Aaron and Rascal flats covered Steele. Steele dedicated the song to his son Alex, who died AFTER the song was written.
this is HAUNTINGLY awesome... I had no idea Aaron was capable of singing a country song with so much emotion... AND THAT GUITAR SOLO 😍
Shame we don't see who did the solo..
The man playing the tearful weeping dobro part is Ben Kitterman's.
He's an awesome steel guitarist too
Ben Kitterman
Look him up..
He's a real inspiration
He is the Man in my book!! He's proof anyone can have struggles, add some determination, drive & in Aaron's case 1 HELL of a talented musician, skies the limit! Ty Aaron, Your voice & music have gotten me through some VERY dark days you could probably relate too!! Ma. & all the way to Cali love & respect you + your passion & talent !!!!
Love the original, but this is by far my favourite version.
This is absolutely who Aaron Lewis is, he's a country boy sitting around a campfire with a guitar. Nothing better...
THE best live cover....I bawled my eyes out
Same
EVER. I AGREE!
Aaron's version will always be THE best cover IMO. He conveys the emotion that Jeffrey Steele intended in his original, and enhances it further
Have you heard Jeffery’s? It’s phenomenal
THE BEST version of this song.
The perfect match...THIS artist and THIS song....
Have been a Staind/Aaron Lewis fan since I saw them play Family Values...I'm going through a tough divorce from my wife right now and hearing Aaron play this song has brought me to my knees tonight...What hurts the most is loving someone who no longer loves you and you don't know why!
Look at it like this, shes made mistakes, and you just learned from yours. Hang in there brother.

Life's not perfect. Been listening to this since my teen years. Hope everything is good now
that sucks
He kills everything he does!
Im a huge rascal flatts fan, and i bet they are proud of that performance.
Aaron, you are a RARE talent. I envy you. your voice is incredible
Few singers can give me chills.... Great artist
What hurts the most is being so close and having so much to say and watching you walk away and never knowing what could of been......❤❤ his voice and guitar!!!!
This is one of the best recordings and one of Aaron's best perfomances of this song. Thanks
This is the only song thats made me cry. He really does it the best RIP POPS/GRAMMY/NONNY & POPPY Love & miss You ALWAYS.
I love your voice. It's so raw, and the song sounds so painful like its suppose to be. T_T
simple.. is key in life. He played the chords and sang the lyrics as he can do well. Dont mess with it. just like cooking....keep it simple...enjoyed it..hope you all did too.
Miss you mom you will never be forgotten & helped so many people along the way rip Bonita Spurling ❤ 1/1/2023
beautiful Aaron......thanks!!!
Rascal Flatts is very well respected in the music industry. There songs are well written and Gary LeVox is a talented musician. The ones that hate are the ones that are jealous of their talent. You see music for what it is and not what you want it to be.
Aaron Lewis should have a single of him playing this song. It would sell a lot on its own.
holy buckets....he should def do a studio version of this - id buy it :-)
What hurts the most, is that Rascal Flatts sang this song.
Rascal Flatts version is a cover as well. Aaron's cover blows theirs out of the water. This song is by Jeffrey Steele. Jeffrey wrote the song after all.
so goooood
wow that voice of yours love it! u keep on singing your heart out!
I love all the versions of this tear jerker. Just another all around great song!!!!!

This is the Best version of this song that I've heard.

This is amazing!
The song is not a Rascal Flatts “cover”.
It was written by American songwriter Jeffrey Steele and English songwriter Steve Robson.
Pls give them the appropriate credit.
Aaron Lewis cover is fantastic and he usually gives the writer credit.
His music just moves me.
...

It's not really a cover of a Rascal Flatts' song. Rascal Flatts was covering the song originally sang by Mark Wills and written by others.
Aaron is just out of this world. No one in country or rock can touch his voice.
Is it only one guitar pr is there someone else playing with him? Sound amazing!!!
His bus driver is accompanying him by playing the steel guitar ( lap guitar ). Hes really good!
this isn't a rascal flats cover, it's a Jeffrey Steele cover. he made it clear in concert that when he heard the original it gave him a different feeling on the song and it grew on him
He should just officially cover this song.
I had no idea this was a good song!
He likes good ass music.
Love U Bowdre
@Alex Biersner DID YOU HEAR BREAKIG BENJAMIN IS GETTING BACK TOGETHER??? :D I can't wait for the new album!!
Play at 1.25x speed....your welcome
🤟
Makes me think of My Joplin Guy( Bryan Bowdre
this is cover of Jeffery steele, not racall flatts, salute!🍻
That's right. The real talent behind the music!
Regardless who wrote it Aaron Lewis does a great job every time he performs the song
Rascal really did a awesome version but he didnt make the song like this way.The way makes me feel so deep and blue, i can feel sth that are so true, so much misery
Obviously nobody here knows how song written works. Jeffery wrote it, rascal Flatts was pitched the song in 2005 and recorded it and this dude covered it.

was this first show or second show? I was there for both, 17th row, 1st show.....4th row, second show....
dude can someone tell me what kind of guitar this is?
🇧🇷🗽🇺🇸
Compare this live version to the one he did in London and the difference in the crowds. The people in London were so much more respectful during his performance.
that hurts the most...
he is so stoned and still so fucking great. I support 420 all the way. A Wsome shows how it will ;lkj;lkej;gkejg;ke ;lkjvcpowuitpwojrgp;wrotgpowuhjpioe what the fuck@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still great , he's amazing. thnank you
Title should read " Aaron Lewis covers rascal fatts cover or Jeffrey Steele song.
Only One Aaron Lewis, Guy Can Sing Both Rock And Country
Whats the second song name ????
What guitar is that?
dude thats what i was trying too do......
that's a pretty guitar
hes tune down half a step?
Yes.
Yes
i would like to meet the song that aaron cant cover beautifully
THIS IS JEFFREY STEELE
Steele wrote it Rascal Flatts brought it to #1.
Aaron Lewis, Benjamin Burnley, Flee and Dave Grohl should start up a band...the best band ever created
Jeffrey Steele song not rascal flatts
To all you haters hating, Rascal Flatts didn't produce this song.
a lot of hate for rascal flatts, why is this? they aint my cup of tea but hell that dude can sing his ass off.
pretty much they are just bored n venting. me im not a fan of country or the rascal flatts version, its not close jeffery or aarons. thats music, you like what you like. plus i aint got time to bitch n moan who is better, ill just listen to what i feel is better n respect the music in all itself, salute!🍻
Exactly , Rascal Flatts killed it too , Aaron and Rascal just have two different singing styles
aaron lewis has an awesome voice, period... what are you talking about did someone skin a cat. you should stop hating, its very negative.
Heed this tale. Contact your father asap! Go see him. Hang on to them. Don't have the regrets of the songwriter.
NO IM PRETTY SURE ITS RASCAL FLATTS
its jeffrey steele not rascal flatts,just sayin
No one Can make Me FeeL like rascal flatts Do
Who else thinks he did better than rascal flats here?
He sounds way better
Jeffrey Steele, (the writer) also has a heart wrenching version as it was written in tribute to his son that passed away.
Eric❤🎉 I’m ok
i believe he done better than rascal flatts. aaron lewis voice is so powerful!
this sounds so much like Corey Taylor
lil durk
Apparently you don't know what good music is then, Aaron blows Rascal Flatts asses out of the water when he performs this song.
Sorry. Better than the original. :)
Ok i hear you better then the real flats
This is not who Aaron Lewis really is...
Rascal flats did not make this song. Aaron Lewis did because his son died and than rascal flats made it big and Aaron got all the money for it
Completely wrong. Aaron even states before many of his performances of this song that it was written by Jeffrey Steele (and Steve Robson). Aaron and Rascal flats covered Steele. Steele dedicated the song to his son Alex, who died AFTER the song was written.
are you trolling bro lol
wtf
spencer gbob ....You're an idiot
Did someone skin a cat? Oh, he just sounds like that.
