Smash Mouth frontman Steve Harwell lost his shit on the crowd at the Taste Of Fort Collins food festival in Fort Collins, Colorado over the weekend.
A couple of the vendors at the fest had been doling out some free bread during the day – bread that would eventually be tossed in the direction of Harwell and his band (all to the backing track of “All Star”) and that is when things went off the rails.
The rant, via Stereogum:
You throw one more piece of shit on fuckin’ stage, I’m gonna come find your ass, I’m gonna beat your ass, whoever the fuck you are out there. You wanna be a badass? Come up here. Come on. Come be a badass up here. Come on! Come onstage! Come onstage, badass! Come on! Come onstage! You bring your ass onstage, whoever’s throwing shit at me! I’ma tell you right now, I will beat the fuck out of you. OK? You’re a pussy punk bitch. OK? You’re ruining the show for thousands of people right now. Because I’m going to walk offstage, and guess what? You’re paying for it, motherfucker. OK? Come on, somebody throw one more thing at me right now! I’m gonna find you. [Security restrains him.] If you’re a man and you throw something at me right now, I’m gonna walk out there, and I’m gonna beat the fucking shit out of you. You little pussy bitches. Little pussy bitches.
Harwell then left the stage for the day.
@coloradoan @EITMonline Steve was probably upset someone else didn't throw ham and cheese to go with it.
