The Black Crowes Got Booed for Ripping Into People Who Chanted "U.S.A." During a Show
Things got heated during the Black Crowes show in Tampa, Florida on Sunday night. And, of course, it was all down to politics.
It happened when a picture of the band's crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam appeared on the big screen, and some people in the audience started chanting "U.S.A.!"
Lead singer Chris Robinson said, quote, "Thanks for the geography lesson . . . I don't know what you have to be so proud of right now."
That's when people started booing, and even leaving the show.
Chris said, quote, "For those of you [effing] booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we most assuredly are not [effing] ignorant."

METALLICA Plays Germany's Biggest-Ever Stadium Concert
According to The Berliner, METALLICA set an attendance record for Germany's biggest-ever stadium concert by performing in front of 94,000 people at Berlin's Olympiastadion on May 30. The record previously belonged to U2, which drew a crowd of just over 90,000 to Olympiastadion in 2009. The venue's maximum capacity for gigs is usually around 72,000.
METALLICA's "M72" tour, which launched in 2023, features a bold new in-the-round stage design that relocates the famed METALLICA Snake Pit to center stage, allowing promoters to sell more tickets than usual. And since METALLICA's stage is hollow in the center, there is even more space available to accommodate fans. METALLICA's giant ring-shaped stage also includes eight towers of monitors and speakers, with each of the towers is anchored by a raised platform that doubles as VIP seating, with eight folding chairs decorated with the black-and-yellow color scheme of the band's latest album, "72 Seasons".
