Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong Has Epic Onstage Meltdown
Watch as he absolutely tears into the people running the iHeart Radio Festival when they tell him to wrap their set to make time for Usher. (via Gawker)
1. NSFW for profanity, by the way, he says the F-word like 20 times and then smashes his guitar to pieces.
Here’s a transcript of Billie Joe being all punk rock about losing 20 minutes of their set time to Usher.
Oh, fuck this shit. I’m gonna play a fucking new song. Fuck this shit. Give me a fucking break. One minute left. One minute fucking left. You’re gonna give me one fucking minute? Look at that fucking sign right there — one minute. Let me fucking tell you something, let me tell you something, I’ve been around since fucking 198-fucking-8. And you’re gonna give me one fucking minute? You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me! You’re fucking kidding me. What the fuck! I’m not fucking Justin Bieber, you motherfuckers. You’ve gotta be fucking joking. This is a fucking joke. I got one minute — one minute left. Oh, now I got nothing left. Let me show you what one fucking minute fucking means. [smashes guitar] One minute. God fucking love you all. We’ll be back.
HOT ON

okcassie 8 months agoI can totally understand why he’d be upset, but how fucking unprofessional and immature can one person be? Take it up with the people who call the shots afterward, don’t throw a giant temper tantrum on stage. Not cool. Also, who honestly cares about Green Day and Usher?

AdventureNeckbeard 8 months agoGreen day, this is what you get when you should have been retired. Case closed. Haters flock if you want, you know it’s true. How old does one have to be to stop pulling the “rebel punk” persona and continue to wear makeup for women.

Nomorehotdogs 8 months agoNothing wrong with him reaming clear channel. His set got cut short and as a musician, that pisses any of us off. Big time. Especially for someone like hom, whos been around for a long fucking time. Kudos, man.

pocketsasha 8 months agoI can understand why he was pissed off. To have your set cut by half so that someone else can have more time is a joke. However…. Saying ‘fuck’ and ‘fucking’ that many times……

FlickMontana 8 months agoIt’s called a show. You have a set time. Professionals know this. Insult the other people you share the stage with all you want, they just won’t invite you next time.

shibbyk 8 months agoFuck Usher. I could understand the people calling BJ a stroppy dick, if he’d got his full set time and then kicked off. But to have your set cut by nearly half, it’s easily justifiable to be pissed off. They’re new and later stuff might be shit compared to the first 4-5 albums, but so what? They’re fucking Green Day…
