This is wonderful. If any of you know me, than you know that I hate Scott Stapp. I have, in fact, written an article to that effect, The Passion Of The Creed. I am always on the lookout for ways in which Stapp, who from here I will refer to as 'Dingleberry', has made a fresh ass out of himself.
It is in this spirit that I bring you the news bite, which involved another band I hate.

'Dingleberry' and 311 have the same producer, and because of this connection the two camps were going to have a meeting. I do not know what they were to discuss, other than it probably involved sucking. According to 311 drummer Chad Sexton the first meeting went ok. The article says:

Stapp later came into the Harbor Court Hotel bar while Sexton and bandmates SA Martinez and P-Nut were watching basketball on television. He stepped in front of the screen and said, “311, I am ready to fight,” according to Sexton.

Sexton said the band tried to defuse the situation, and Stapp went to the bar to drink. Later, he made “inappropriate” comments to Martinez's wife, and was confrontational with Sexton.

“All of a sudden, he clocked me in the left side of my face,” Sexton said. “Then a huge fight broke out.”

Clear cut right? Not so fast. The security people say 311 started the fight, jumping 'Dingleberry' and instigating the brawl.

But Jonathan Jordan, director of security at the hotel, said the incident was captured on security cameras. He said Stapp was “attacked” by several members of 311 and that it took two security guards to break up the fight.

“It was definitely started by 311,” Jordan said.

Frankly, I hope it was started by 311. If I was in a room with an asshole like that, I might just take a swing at him too.
