During Crowbar's set at Maryland Deathfest in Baltimore, a fan decided to climb onstage resulting in a scuffle that nearly knocked over frontman Kirk Windstein.

Windstein stopped the set and said the following:

"Stop this fucking song! I'm so sick of this shit. You've got motherfuckers like Randy Blythe — nicest motherfucking guy in the world. Some asshole goes into his office, fucks his fucking world up, and the guy almost goes to prison in a foreign fucking country. [Pointing at audience] Who does what for a living? Do I go into your office and fuck your computer up? No. You know why? I respect you and I love you. Thank you. A lot of people think I'm a dick, go suck one, motherfucker. This is about respect. My eyes are closed, I'm playing my goddamn heart out. You could have broken every fucking tooth in my mouth. Thank you, security."
