A shitty Papa Roach concert

Posted by Joel Weiss on Sat, Apr 18, 2009 at 4:57 PM

I know.  When you go see a shitty band, shitty concerts usually ensue.  Keep reading.

Papa Roach dropped their major label debut Infest in 2000.  Their first and arguably biggest hit to date "Last Resort" shamelessly plagiarized various classic Iron Maiden riffs, and along with bands like Korn and Disturbed helped to usher in the nu-metal hey-day of chugga-chugga riffs and lyrics so embarrasingly angst-ridden that even grunge bands must be ashamed to have been of influence.  Thanks to mediocre ballads like "Forever," the band stuck around.  Most recently, guitarist Jerry Horton called their new album Metamorphosis, "rock record of the decade."  I'll at least credit them for the Kafka reference.

This brings us to last Thursday night in Manchester, England.  Courtesy of an e-mail to UK website Rock Sound, a concertgoer just couldn't, or perhaps, didn't care to make it to the restroom.

Read the unbelievable e-mail after the jump.

Here's the e-mail.

Hi Rock Sound, I just thought I'd let you know that last night, at the Papa Roach show in Manchester, somebody did a shit at the back of the mosh-pit! About halfway through Papa Roach's set, everybody started commenting on how bad the smell was. I guess it was like someone had farted or something, but it was MUCH worse. All of a sudden there was a massive gap in the crowd and my friend told me that someone had actually done a shit! I turned around and saw this guy with cleaning materials wiping it up!!! Thank God I didn't step on it. I don't think the band were aware of it, I didn't hear them tell people to do it anyway, I think this person just decided he needed to shit. I have no idea whether people were skidding in it or whether there was wiping action.

Incredible. We obviously needed to check that this was true, so Rock Sound asked Neil Mahony (of Amplifier fame), who was helping out at the show. This is what he had to say:

"I can confirm the Papa Roach story. The smell was dreadful and the security were livid. As far as I know, the guy never got caught. Stealth shit."

I like how Americans 'take a shit' but the British 'do a shit.'  It's the little differences.
