Band Stops Concert to Call Out ‘A**holes’ Seen Molesting Crowd-Surfing Teen Girl [View all]

At a packed outdoor concert in Kansas City, the lead singer of grunge rock band, Staind, stopped mid-song when he noticed some of the crowd were sexually assaulting a young girl who had been crowd-surfing.

The singer, Aaron Lewis, told the band to stop playing so he could make an announcement. As the crowd looked around, wondering what was going on, Lewis began berating several men he had seen groping the girl.

“Alright, listen up, you f*cking *ssholes,” Lewis said. “That f*cking girl right there is, like, 15 f*cking years old, and you f*cking pieces of sh*t are molesting her while she’s on the f*cking crowd.”

A video taken at the concert captured Lewis’ angry callout and the crowd cheering his words. If the men who had done it thought that was it, Lewis was just getting started.

“Your f*cking mothers should be ashamed of themselves, you pieces of sh*t,” Lewis added. “You should all be f*cking beaten down by everyone around you for being f*cking pieces of sh*t. If I f*cking see that sh*t again, I swear to God, I will point you out in the crowd and have everyone around you beat your f*cking *ss.”

Major, well deserved smack down. I don't mind Staind, think I'll buy an album and send a thank you card.

Kinda hard to imagine people moshing to Pearl Jam. But that's the 90's for ya, I guess. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #11
But SoundGarden or even FaithNoMore ismnotwasm Jun 2014 #13
Agreed. Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are definitely still two of my favorites from that time - nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #14
My 15 year old grandson is a huge Alice in Chains fan ismnotwasm Jun 2014 #15
That is awesome. And old (mostly 80's) Metallica stilll holds up, I think, but I've heard those nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #16

I never liked Soundgarden, but I'm a huge AIC fan... Violet_Crumble Jun 2014 #19
I've always liked PJ, to be honest. Just don't think of them as "moshing" music, is all. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #20

Not a fan - and Lewis's attempt at a faux-country career was just awful - but good for them. Really. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #10
generally a great rant -- however, I find it ironic that he blames the mothers fishwax Jun 2014 #18
Yeah. He gets that it's wrong to molest women, redqueen Jun 2014 #23
