Less than two weeks after releasing “Hurt People Hurt People”, their first new song since 2009, Mudvayne are released another single.
Regarding their latest single, “Sticks and Stones,” vocalist Chad Gray stated:
“I was always told ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’… it’s a great nursery rhyme, but I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve carried a lot of words throughout my life as if they were just spoken to me. The reality is — they do hurt. I’ve tried my best to shed them, but when they come from dear friends, family — people that are supposed to love you — the words have teeth and they won’t let go. Blood doesn’t wash out; it stains. I think I’m just trying to remind people to love their children. Don’t use them as a bullet to fire into your ex or whomever you’re with now. They’re innocent and they are impressionable. And trust me, as a child, that was used as a weapon, your words will hurt them… long after you say them.”
