It started as a
boastful posting on Filters web site as sort of a way to take a jab at
rock critics in Chicago. Filter vocalist told fans that while his band
was in Chicago on August 1st playing the House of Blues he defecated in
the dressing room to send a message to Chicago journalist of what he thought
of them. Now it turns out it wasnt true.
Here is Richards
original message as he posted it on the Filter website this past Sunday
(8-4): "We played to a sold-out concert in Chicago at the Ronald McDonald
House Of Burger King Blues, complete with a packed crowd and a willingness
to piss off local critics...Except for the fans, that town has never given
us any respect, and at this point I don't even care. So, we took a shit
in the dressing room and moved on to Detroit."
Now Richard admits
that it was all a joke. When asked about the incident he told a report
for Yahoos Launch Media, Basically it was just a little punk thing I
put in the 'Rich Words' [a section of the filter site] It was a joke...When
you play the House Of Blues it's a bit of a franchise, so I just wanted
to let my fans to know that, yeah, I took a big ol' crap in the toilet
just to punk rock it up a bit. It was just a joke. I think I had a couple
of beers in me, too."
Why should we care
either way? Well it was a slow news day so there you have it, Filter got
what they wanted some press.
