HA HA HA!
PUDDLE OF MUDD vocalist WES SCANTLIN has been charged with disorderly conduct, and pelted offstage by 'fans'.

The band were playing at the Headliners Club in Toledo, when the drunken singer, confessing he was "too fucked up to perform," threw abuse at the crowd as they pelted him with random objects.

The rest of the band had already walked off stage after performing four songs, but Scantlin remained on for an hour and a half, playing indistinguishable tunes to an agitated crowd, before dropping his guitar onstage, reports Dotmusic.

The frontman was arrested on returning to his dressing room for 'disorderly conduct-intoxication', and then earned himself another charge for spitting in the police car on the way to the station.

Scantlin was later released on bail for $150. No comment has been made by the band.

$150 Bail ??? hahahaha.

Actually, this is closer to the antics/fate of his old mentor Fred Durst.

Fred is a complete professional and has never been to drunk to perform. Don't slander people, slanderer.

haha how was his songs more "indistinguishable" than they are already?

puddle of mudd - must be contenders for the most useless rock band to emerge this decade

now there's a list I wouldn't want to start compiling.

Wes Scantlin doesn't look "thirty".

Anthony, how you can continue to defend Limp Bizkit eludes all comprehension.

Holy crap, I know someone who might have been at this show.

In Puddle of Mudd related news, or college (inexplicably) signed them to play at our spring concert in a couple of weeks and yesterday when tickets went on sale they had a row of booths standing side by side in the student union apparently awaiting the mob of students rushing to get their hands on tickets for a band that hasn't seen a hit in what, 6 months?, a year?

Best part: Every booth was empty save for a couple angry/confused/sad students who were working there trying to sell the tickets.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Bailiff: "Please rise, Court is now in session, the Honorable Judge Whitey presiding."
Judge Whitey: "We'll hear argument now in Number 01-618, Muddle of Pudd v. Bunch of Angry Stoners."

Stoners: "Their show was, like, Bogus."
Stoners Lawyer: "We would like to submit the following as exhibit A, your honor. May I approach the bench?"
Judge Whitey: "You may."
Stoners Lawyer: "I am handing your honor a walkman. Within the walkman is a bootleg tape recording of the concert in question."
Muddle of Pudd's Lawyer: "Objection!...um, um, Hearsay!"
Judge Whitey: "Overruled"
Muddle of Pudd's Lawyer: "Objection!...er, um, uh...Badgering the Witness!"
Judge Whitey: "Overruled"
(Judge Whitey puts on the Headphones and hits 'play'. After a few seconds, a 'who farted?' look creeps across his face. After a minute a mixture of anger and disgust joins it. Soon he's gnashing his teeth and staring evilly at Muddle of Pudd's lawyers. After a minute and a half he rips the headphones off his head as if it were a poisonous jellyfish.)
Judge Whitey: "The Court finds in favor of the Prosecution! I now order the members of Muddle of Pudd to the custody of a very angry criminal judge with a penchant for ordering executions. With luck he'll be in a foul mood and order these band members to be taken out and shot. At point blank range. With anti-tank weapons.
That it all. This case is concluded."

Shitty Drunk Live Performers TS: Ryan Adams vs. Wes Scantlin

― Nick Mirov (nick), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Adams. at least he has the sense to turn it into a Stooges (Three) style laff fest complete with bodily injury.

― jonviachicago, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, at least Adams gets properly hurt when he's drunk, which ups the entertainment value significantly.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

x-post!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Plus, at least Adams did the gig first and fell off as an encore...
