boyst Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Apparently Usher went 20 minutes over his set so they tried to rip Armstrong and Green Day down from 45 minutes to 25. Who says Rock'N Roll is dead?
The Poojer Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 That's awesome! Too many stories lately about these time constraints put on concert sets! Good for him for playing the punk attitude(finally!) Apparently Usher went 20 minutes over his set so they tried to rip Armstrong and Green Day down from 45 minutes to 25. Who says Rock'N Roll is dead?
Chef Jim Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 From some of those shots of the crowd looks like a lot of people were glad they only had one minute left. Green Day......Punk.
Best Player Available Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Green Day punk? Maybe the first few years in Berkeley. Now, a bunch of d-bag millionaires already doing greatest hit shows/tours.
ajzepp Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Never been a fan, but love what he did there.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Never been a fan, but love what he did there. Not to be a snot (well, too much of a snot ) but, why? There was probably some pimple faced intern in charge of the cues who didn't understand that the show was allowed to go 15 minutes long. And even if it was the festival being douches, performers play by the rules of the venue. Not the other way around. It's easy to throw a hissy fit when you have a big enough name for said hissy fit to not cripple your chances of landing another gig.

Just Jack Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 And now this just came out.... Rep: Green Day's Armstrong getting treatment NEW YORK (AP) — Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is headed to treatment for substance abuse. Sunday's announcement by the band's rep comes after the 40-year-old frontman had a meltdown onstage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday. As Green Day was wrapping up its performance during the all-star, two-day concert, Armstrong profanely complained that the band's time was being cut short.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I found it entertaining Well! I'm far too stoic for something silly like having fun.
Astrojanitor Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 ugh, wish their fame only had one minute left.
boyst Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 The iheartradio gimmick is hilarious. They basically tell these bands come do this show or we do not play your music. I hope he gets better for whatever is wrong with him, 40 years old just doesn't seem right for him.
Buff_bills4ever Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Any man who wears guyliner better also look as if he could punch Satan square in the testicles, then not call him the next day.
apuszczalowski Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Reports are coming out now that they were only supposed to do a short 20 minute set anyway, but they may have forgot to tel Billy Joe that, or he just wanted to have a "Rockstar moment" and go crazy on stage for publicity I can't say I have a huge issue with Green Day and their music. I prefer the earlier stuff over the new stuff they make into musicals........
section122 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 That's a meltdown?!?!?! That?!?!?!!? Keith Moon is rolling over in his grave right now
Simon Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I think it's pretty funny that with all his cussing and posturing he's trying to come off as some kind of tough guy but instead sounds like a whiny little schoolgirl. But what's really funny is that after all his posing and puffing, he still skulks off the stage exactly when he's been ordered to. What a rebel!
Tcali Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 didnt like them that much in the old days--but Ive come to appreciate green days music over the years. they are talented.
apuszczalowski Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Back in teh Day, wouldn't Tre do more damage to his drum kits after each show?
Cugalabanza Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I think it's pretty funny that with all his cussing and posturing he's trying to come off as some kind of tough guy but instead sounds like a whiny little schoolgirl. But what's really funny is that after all his posing and puffing, he still skulks off the stage exactly when he's been ordered to. What a rebel! I was thinking the same thing. There's a big difference between being Punk and being just some punk. Edited September 25, 2012 by gringo starr
