The 46-year-old former Staind frontman grew visibly irritated when the crowd at his Pharr, Texas, show wouldn't stop talking.

"I don't understand what you're not getting," he lectured the audience, who were alternately yelling out and yelling at one another to be quiet. "I know I have a microphone so you can hear me. You're not going to hear the song unless it gets quiet. Do you get it?"
