Woodstock '99 riots: Photos show how festival devolved into violent chaos, destruction
Woodstock '99 veered sharply from the "peace and love" vibes of 1969 to chaos and destruction. (Andrew Lichtenstein/Sygma via Getty Images) In an effort to recreate the 'peace and love' vibes of the iconic 1969 Woodstock music festival, concert organizers chose to celebrate the event's 30th anniversary with Woodstock '99. The four-day festival, which ran from July 22 to 25, 1999 at the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, N.Y., featured a lineup of artists including Limp Bizkit, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, George Clinton, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow and more. The event, however, devolved over the course of four days into overcrowding, fires, sexual assaults, violent mayhem and destruction. More than 200,000 people reportedly had bought tickets to the event, which was set mostly on asphalt and concrete during peak summer heat with two stages set a two-mile walk from each other. Add to that overpriced water and food, and whatever decorum and goodwill existed in the beginning took a nosedive into the festival's proverbial mosh pit. The festival's final day, called 'the day the music died' by the San Francisco Examiner and 'Apocalypse Woodstock' by MTV News, appeared to suffer from similar issues as its chaotic 1994 iteration, reportedly due to multiple factors, including the bands that turned up the spectacle several notches: Kid Rock asked the audience to throw plastic water bottles onstage, Insane Clown Posse threw $100 bills into the crowd and the Red Hot Chili Peppers covered Jimi Hendrix's song 'Fire,' apparently inspiring the crowd to commit arson and light up the venue. Advertisement Two documentaries released in recent years — Woodstock '99: Peace, Love, and Rage and Trainwreck: Woodstock '99 — spotlighted the chaos and violence of the festival.

(Frank Micelotta/ImageDirect) Chad Smith, the Chili Peppers' drummer, told Yahoo Entertainment in 2019 that his band's role in the chaos was unintentional. '[Hendrix's] sister came to us, and we'd met her before; we'd done some other stuff with the Hendrix Experience,' Smith said. 'And she said, 'Hey, I know you guys do Jimi Hendrix songs. What do you think if I could get a Hendrix song before, like as your last song before the tribute thing, you know? It'd be kind of a nice segue.' And we're like, 'OK, that sounds cool.'' During the band's performance on the festival's final night, anti-violence group PAX had distributed 100,000 candles to fans. Instead of a peaceful lighting ceremony, the moment sparked bonfires and blazes, eventually leading to rioting and looting. Advertisement Law enforcement was called in to deal with the chaos. However, the band kept playing, with Smith telling Yahoo Entertainment that they misjudged the scope of the arson. And instead of leaving the stage, the Red Hot Chili Peppers proceeded with their Hendrix cover, inadvertently adding musical fuel to the literal fire. 'The next morning, I get up, I'm in the airport, and I'm looking up at CNN or whatever the news that's on the airport television,' Smith said. 'They're like, 'Yesterday's Woodstock festival, they had the Dave Matthews Band and Jewel, and it was all really nice. And then… the Red Hot Chili Peppers played, and all hell broke loose!' And I'm like, 'What?' And they show the fires, and I am like, 'Oh my God. Oh s***.' We really looked like we were instigating — that we were the bad guys.' The promoters reportedly faced multiple lawsuits after the festival. And while the concerts' organizer, the late Michael Lang, entertained the notion of recreating the spectacle once again in 2019, according to Esquire, the festival was ultimately canceled altogether.

Nick Offerman Was So Upset About This "Huge Mistake" Trump Made That He Stopped By "The Daily Show" To Give An Emotional Speech
Nick Offerman has called out President Donald Trump after his 'big, beautiful bill' — which he signed into law earlier this month — slashed hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to America's national parks. Related: 'Let me get this straight, Mr. President. You cut $267 million to get back $90 million. Now, I'm no mathematician but I believe that's called shitting the bed,' said Offerman in an appearance on Tuesday's episode of The Daily Show. 'But then again, I didn't go to Wharton Business College.' The Parks & Recreation star — who portrayed libertarian official Ron Swanson — turned to several news reports detailing how America's 'pastoral gifts' are 'under attack' as staffing levels have seen a notable dip across the National Park System since January, per the National Parks Conservation Association. One clip noted that park scientists, in some cases, have been forced to help clean toilets due to staffing shortages. Related: Offerman — who quipped that the situation is like "Good Will Hunting but in reverse" — stressed that the cuts are a 'huge mistake.' 'No scientist has the strength to clean the skid marks of a man who's been eating beans and campfire hot dogs for the past three days! They're weak,' he joked. Related: He went on to refer to Trump 'shaking down foreigners' after he issued an executive order earlier this month that calls for foreign tourists to face higher park entry fees, a move that the administration expects to generate more than $90 million annually. After highlighting how national parks contributed a record $55.6 billion to the U.S. economy and supported over 415,000 jobs just two years ago, Offerman explained why the parks are a 'true miracle.' 'It is an affordable vacation that everyone can take inside our own borders, whether you're traveling with your family or abandoning your constituents during a crisis,' quipped the actor as a photo of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) amid his Cancun controversy appeared on screen. Offerman, who recently revealed why Ron Swanson would've 'despised' Trump, then mocked the president for speaking so 'fondly' of national parks in years past. Related: He turned to a 2020 clip of Trump who, when referencing sequoia trees at Yosemite National Park, appeared to pronounce the park's name as 'yo-semites.' 'It's Yosemite,' Offerman remarked. ''Yo, Semites,' is what a bad undercover cop might say to a group of Hasidic Jews.' Watch Nick on The Daily Show below: This article originally appeared on HuffPost.
