Steve Harwell, singer of ‘90s grunge band just kidding Smash Mouth, got so furious with members of the audience at a recent Smash Mouth concert in Fort Collins, Colorado that he had to be subdued by security, as shown in what is undoubtedly one of the most bizarre and exciting videos of 2015. The crowd was tossing bread. :(

USA Today reports the band’s set functioned as the finale of Taste of Fort Collins, a three-day food and music festival that claims to be “a family-friendly celebration perfect for Northern Coloradoans’ active lifestyle.” A little boastful, Taste of Fort Collins.

The family-friendly aspect was threatened, however, once the crowd gathered for Smash Mouth began “throwing slices of bread in the air.” A few of the pieces reportedly landed on the stage. Steve Harwell got so mad about the bread, it’s crazy how mad he got!!

“You throw one more piece of shit on the fucking stage,” he can be heard saying in the video, “I’m gonna come find your ass, I’m gonna beat your ass, whoever the fuck you are out there, OK?” He then invites the person throwing bread to come on stage, so he might have the chance to “beat the fuck” out of him or her.

Not a particularly enticing invitation for Mr. or Ms. Bread, if you ask me.

Harwell’s profanity-laden tantrum carries on for a bit while the band behind him—wide-eyed, full of hope—plays the cheerful opening riff to Smash Mouth’s ‘98 hit “All Star” over and over and over. Hartwell then enters the crowd looking for the bread “pussy bitches,” only to be stopped by security.

After a heated chat with the Taste of Fort Collins fuzz, a furious Hartwell retakes the stage to stand silently at the mic while the crowd sings “All Star.” A happy ending.

How did the crowd get the bread, you might be wondering? From USA Today: “Loaves of bread were being given away for free at one of the Taste of Fort Collins vendor booths.”

:)

To cheer up Steve Harwell, who is so mad about bread it is crazy how mad he is, we’ve written a song to honor his afternoon of blind fury. Please press play on this instrumental version of “All Star” and sing along with the lyrics below.

Somebody once told me the bread is gonna roll me
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the bread
She was looking kind of bread with her finger and her bread
In the shape of a “bread” on her forebread

Well, the bread starts coming and it don’t stop coming
Fed to the bread and I hit the bread running
Didn’t make sense not to live for bread
Your bread gets smart but your bread gets bread

Bread much to do, bread much to see
So what’s bread with taking the bread streets?
You’ll never bread if you don’t bread
You’ll never bread if you don’t bread

Hey, now, you’re a Bread Star get your bread on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a Bread Star get the bread on get paid
And all that glitters is bread
Only shooting bread breaks the mold (bread mold)

It’s a bread place and they say it gets bread-er
You’re bundled up bread but wait ‘til you get older
But the media men bread to differ
Judging by the bread in the satellite picture

The bread we skate is getting pretty bread
The bread’s getting warm so you might as well bread
My bread’s on fire. How ‘bout yours?
That’s the way I like it and I’ll never get bread

Hey, now, you’re a Bread Star get your bread on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a Bread Star get the bread on get paid
And all that glitters is bread
Only shooting bread breaks the mold (bread mold)

Somebready once asked could I spare some change for bread
I need to bread myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept
I could use a little bread myself
And we could all use a little change

Well, the bread starts coming and it don’t stop coming
Fed to the bread and I hit the bread running
Didn’t make sense not to live for bread
Your bread gets smart but your bread gets dumb

Bread much to do, bread much to see
So what’s bread with taking the bread streets?
You’ll never bread if you don’t bread
You’ll never bread if you don’t bread

Hey, now, you’re a Bread Star get your bread on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a Bread Star get the bread on get paid
And all that glitters is bread
Only shooting bread breaks the mold (bread mold)

And all that glitters is bread
Only shooting bread breaks the mold (bread mold)

Thank you.
