In which Billy Joe Armstrong shows off his erudite vocabulary, his axe wielding prowess and his extreme displeasure with their set being cut short to allow more time for Usher...

On whose part? Well, both I would think. Very unprofessional to spit your dummy on stage but also very unprofessional to cut an artist's set short halfway through it.RJN wrote:Not very professional imho.
Yeah, the mic pop at the end was the funniest of it all. ?RJN wrote:I love how the bassist immediately followed suit. Also , lol at the Sound of the mic dropping at the end ?
They don't have to, they can be amateur if they want. Somehow I just reckon most people expect a band that's "been around since effing nineteen-eighty-effing-eight" to be professional but, really, it's up to them to decide whether they're professional or amateur.Dirkv wrote:When did rock stars ever have to be professional?
Then Green day shouldn't have been invited/hired/given the opportunity to perform there.RJN wrote: Hehehe i saw this on monday . A proper meltdown on stage. Shame, The fest was probably geared more towards acts like Usher anyways ?

I was thinking the same thing.VellaJ wrote: Tell you what though, that guitar was able to handle a lot more beating than I expected...
Man I loathe Usher. And I don't hate R'nB artists on principle at all. But what a smug idiot that guy is.strataxe wrote: gREENDAY are Billy Joe Armstrong , Tre Cool and Mike Dernt, who is Usher?

+1 on that. It doesn't seem very angry AT ALL. People calling this 'rage' haven't seen real anger then. I got the feeling he was either holding back a LOT in order to stay professional, or it was staged. The substance abuse thing is probably also a crock to get them out of crap with the event organisers.Chad Adam Browne wrote: I rate it was all staged, the whole way he goes about it seems very haphazard - not like it's actually fueled by real rage at all. As for the rockstar comments, this is Green Day, they are every bit as cut and paste as all the other pop artists on that roster, there is nothing "rockstar" about them at all these days. There may have been about 20 years ago but now they are every bit as commercial as Bieber or Usher.
