QuoteStaind singer stops concert to demand audience members stop 'molesting' teen crowd-surfer

Aaron Lewis, the lead singer of Staind, stopped performing and berated several concertgoers for allegedly groping an underage girl while she surfed the crowd.

"Ok, listen up, you a–holes," Lewis began, interrupting the song Something to Remind You during the group's performance at the Rockfest festival in Kansas City. "That f–king girl right there is like 15 f–king years old, and you f–king pieces of s–t are molesting her while she's on the f–king crowd."

The singer, who suggested that the individuals who were apparently touching the young concertgoer inappropriately should all be "beaten down by everyone around you for being f–king pieces of s–t."

"If I f–king see that s–t again, I swear to god I will point you out in the crowd and have everyone around you beat your f–king ass," he said, cuing up guitarist Mike Mushok. "Now, girls, feel free to crowd-surf safely."

Staind, which formed in 1994, attained widespread success in 2000 with the release of their album Break The Cycle, whose single, It's Been Awhile, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It must be quite difficult to not accidentally touch a young woman inappropriately in such a melee.

I think it would be best to ban underage, if not all women from the activity, if there's the risk of anonymous intentional sexual molestation or just accidental touching they're not happy with.

Why did you remove your post, Ed?

Staind is the kind of faggit rock Ed listens to, no wonder he's ashamed, left his purity ring at the last Silverchair show.

I was thinking that as well.  I guess the safest thing to do is not touch her at all and let her fall on the floor when she is headed your way.

That's true, but one would assume he's seen lots of crowd surfing in the years he's been performing, yet this time whatever happened was different enough from what he's seen before to make him react.

There is a pretty dramatic difference between accidentally touching somebody and groping them.
