[Trash-talk] ahhh if only...

[Shell at The Garbage Fan Site]

And I thought Garbage concerts were fun:

"The metaphorical fireworks started much earlier, however, when heckling
fans induced a profane tantrum from Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and the
band quit playing after just 20 minutes.

It was easy to predict a rough reception for the rap-rock has-beens when a
significant segment of the crowd booed a mention of the band by previous
openers Linkin Park. When Limp Bizkit actually appeared around 7 o'clock,
the boos intensified, and some fans pelted the stage with garbage.

The famously brainless Durst only fanned the flames, first encouraging the
catcalls and flying trash, then swerving into a bizarre tirade against the
crowd and city. Ranting that he'd fight anyone in earshot and spluttering
explicit sexual putdowns, uncreative curses and ludicrous homophobic slurs,
Durst simply self-destructed. Had the villain in "The Wizard of Oz" been a
vile little boob like Durst rather than a snarly old lady in greenface, the
movie's "I'm melting!" scene might have looked like this.

The crowd, perhaps stunned, calmed down, and Limp Bizkit played a few more
songs (including a sarcastic, gay-bashing cover of George Michael's "Faith"
with potty-mouth lyrics that would embarrass a fourth-grader). But then the
band left the stage and Durst resumed his vulgar invective from the wings
until, mercifully, he was relieved of the microphone.

The aborted set left fans to wait more than 90 minutes for Metallica, but
the mood never turned ugly--maybe because a lengthy delay was better than
suffering through any more Limp Bizkit."
