SPOUT
Uncle Pleasant's
- Louisville, KY
This night was fucking crazy....
We met a homeless man who claimed he used to play in Godsmack. He
stressed this over and over and wanted to help carry our equipment in
exchange for a beer. So Chad, being the good soul he
is, got the man a beer. While we are in the middle of "Come and
Get It"... the guy is drinking the beer Chad bought him, and then all of
a sudden drops to the floor coughing and yelling. We stop in mid
song and try to see what the problem is. Next thing we know he's
foaming at the mouth! The club owners call 9-11 and then start
asking everyone who bought that man a beer. Chad raises his hand
and the club owner starts yelling at him saying this man is in there all
the time asking for beer but is allergic to barley. (as if we were
supposed to know that!) The cops and the ambulance arrive.
The man gets put on a stretcher and as he gets into the back of the
ambulance, he says " that last song you played was so awesome that If I
really had to die, I'm glad that's the last thing I heard"... we start
to cry... Jason actually cried the most... I felt closer to him as a
human. Then out of nowhere, this kick ass red Hummer pulls up and
it's fucking Sulley from Godsmack!!! screaming "You'll never Stand
Alone... I wouldn't Lie To You.. You're not the one
who's so far away." and then he shit his pants and cried out to
God in forgiveness that he wasn't there earlier.. not because he may
have saved his friend, but he could have caught the really kick ass song
we were playing when this all happened..
OK
maybe that's not what really went down..
but we did meet a homeless man who said he was in GodSmack who did help
load equipment... but Chad didn't buy him a beer. (thank god)
