If they don’t understand English, why would they spend money on a concert of an English speaking band?
You can enjoy music without being able to interpret the lyrics
I like Juanes for example and only know what a few of the words mean
Juanes - La Camisa Negra
I'd definitely be more interested in seeing him than Aaron Lewis

You have posted many times about something you don't care about. That seems contradictory. It appears to most that you do care. That caring caused you to post over and over.
So... Why do you care about this so much?

Oooh...a disruptive rock crowd? What is this, the PMAC?
Dude, its obvious you dont know what youre talking about.
The dude was trying to play an acoustic song and if the crowd wouldnt be quiet they wouldnt hear it.
Did you watch the video that was linked?

The only point is that being American is essentially entirely uncorrelated with knowing songs in foreign languages. His remark (I would say obviously intended as an insult of some sort) is a non sequitur at best.
How is this an insult?
Say you're sitting in a restaurant in France. The server walks up and asks for your drink request. You don't speak French.
What do you say?
"I'm sorry, I'm American. I don't speak French."
Which is pretty much exactly what he said. But replace French with Spanish and it somehow becomes an insult?
And you're calling others snowflakes?

Don't feel badgered snowflake.

Sad how political lines are drawn even over a fricking concert and everything else in life.
All the libs are going after him over this...
Was he wearing blackface and killing babies?
Guess they need something after last week to make them feel better.
Just wait til RBG croaks... OHH MAHH GAAWWWDDD.

Exactly, you want to be offended by something. I thought texans were better than this.

As far as assumptions go, it's not a bad one to assume that Americans speak English.
That was easy.

It has quite a bit to do with it. He is in a large majority of other Americans and responded accordingly. This is a whole lot of nothing here.
