Singer Aaron Lewis says "I'm American, I don't speak Spanish" walks off stage early

It appears the Lewis has a low tolerance for yappers in the audience that won't shut up. We've all sat next to these folks at concerts in the past. Sucks for those that were being quiet and paid good money to see him perform.
Lewis is my 2nd favorite artist next to Stapleton. He puts on a hell of a show (when the crowd doesn't interrupt him) for those that haven't seen him live.
He used to be the front man for Staind and has also done some vocals for Linkin Park. The range of his voice is insane.
Dude is as woke and "American" as they come.

Singer Aaron Lewis irked his already-rowdy audience on Saturday when he implied that Spanish speakers are un-American, then walked off the stage and ended his concert early.
quote:
The 46-year-old former Staind frontman grew visibly irritated when the crowd at his Pharr, Texas, show wouldn't stop talking. Video footage obtained by TMZ shows a smoking Lewis scolding the fans who'd paid to see him, telling them, "I'm only going to wait for so long and then I'm just going to say goodnight."
quote:
"I don't understand what you're not getting," he lectured the audience, who were alternately yelling out and yelling at one another to be quiet. "I know I have a microphone so you can hear me. You're not going to hear the song unless it gets quiet. Do you get it?" A fan then asked Lewis to sing something in Spanish, to which he replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak Spanish. I'm an American."
quote:
The crowd keeps yelling, and after about a total of two minutes, Lewis calmly rises off of his stool, places his guitar down and tells them, "Thank you very much. Have a great night." A rep for Lewis did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.

Wouldn't have phrased it like that, but I agree with his annoyance at a crowd that won't pipe down if he's there to perform for them.

I mean he sings a song about the Gadsen Flag.
What did these people expect?

Staind sucks and more than 1 in 10 Americans speak Spanish. His insult didn't even make sense. Sounds like quite the snowflake.

he got paid to do a show; if people talk in the audience, that does not relieve him from his obligation to perform
seems like he owes people some refunds

He said that because someone was screaming at him to sing a song in spanish.

Concert crowds are supposed to be quiet and not make noise? Is this a country thing?

Why can't entertainers just entertain and collect a paycheck?

Well....Most Americans don't know how to speak Spanish. This doesn't mean he has something against people who do.
Is he too TOXIC?????

Then his remark makes a lot more sense.
Crowd was in the wrong. Not AL.

So, 1.295 in 10 Americans speak Spanish? Who the frick comes up with 1 in 10 as any form of valid argument...

He does a lot of cover songs. Some youtube vids I've watched and it seems the crowd is constantly yelling out songs they want him to sing.

Sorry but pretending to like Staind because Aaron Lewis is “MAGA” is where I draw the line. They were empirically a terrible band.

That depends on the setting.
I've seen him a formal concert and he seemed to get a little pissy when the crowd wouldn't be quiet.
Some of the more intimate, smaller venues yes; this is the case.
Lewis is not unlike Stapleton in that regard. He could just about sing the damn phone book and it would sound good.
