(8/6/02, 6 p.m. ET) -- Filter played Chicago's House Of Blues Thursday (August 1) in support of its latest release, The Amalgamut. Singer-songwriter Richard Patrick wrote that he pooped in the dressing room of the House Of Blues in his online journal, but he admitted to LAUNCH that it was all a big joke.
"Basically it was just a little punk thing I put in the 'Rich Words' (section of the website). 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."
The post on the website for Sunday (August 4) read: "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 sh-t in the dressing room and moved on to Detroit."
A spokesperson for the House Of Blues in Chicago would neither confirm or deny that Patrick actually pooped in the dressing room.
