REAL PUNX

God they're really straining for that punk cred these days.

i been around since 1980 fucking 8 and you're gonna fucking give me 1 fucking minute, i'm not fucking justin bieber fucking

fucking FUCK!@!!!!

"what's my age again?
what's my age again?

oh wait, wrong band"

Perfect.

Wow. He's annoying.

These guys again.

Lol, I kind of enjoyed that. Not even ironically.

As much as I hate Green Day, his anger is totally understandable. Usher...

I would be slightly peeved too if my set was cut short for Usher.

Let's not get carried away and start pretending that today's Green Day and Usher are any different.

Same shit, different package.

The same exact thing happened to Brand New (not with Usher though). Al they did was laugh about it and then leave.

Both are shit.

not really, but I personally like Usher. :x

I love seeing Mike Dirnt just standing there and then all of a sudden SMASH

LOL.

I feelz for him

Got to hand it to Gibson on this one. Quality construction right there.

Lol Usher.

lol this is great.

these guys are pretty punk... too bad their music isn't

"Got to hand it to Gibson on this one. Quality construction right there."

was just thinking that, and my guitarist has a Gibson SG Standard and his straps have broken so many times, but when the SG hits the ground, not even a scratch.

I actually side with him, honestly. His anger is justifiable.

"even 21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece compared to anything Usher has done."

wait, what? confessions?

cant tell if having hissy fit or having hissy fit

um, hissy fit!

Mike: "Man I don't wanna look like a dumbass too but I'll do the guitar smash with you just so you're not alone on this one ol' buddy ol' pal."

At the pop music gathering the only diva to throw a temper tantrum was the one that tells people he's a punk rocker.

"At the pop music gathering the only diva to throw a temper tantrum was the one that tells people he's a punk rocker."

boom

lol man that guitar is a fucking beast.

obvious publicity stunt ahoy

you can see the bassist waiting for the cue when he starts smashing the guitar

I do get why he did this, being cut short for Usher must have really taken the piss, but it would have been better if he'd stated that's why he was pissed. He actually spent a minute explaining he only had a minute.

But yeah, quality construction by Gibson. I'd feel much safer buying one of them now - awesome advertisement.

That guitar was a tank.

Gibson advertisement haha.

I think that was handled very maturely.

lol guitar wasn't turned up when he smashed it

pussy move

"lol guitar wasn't turned up when he smashed it

pussy move"

haha yes

Cut short for Usher? Pretty sad seeing how if theres something Green Day stil does right its put on one hell of a great live show.

Festival is called iHeartRadio yet the band has a single about killing a DJ.

What did Justin Bieber do lol. The kid can't catch a break.

http://youtu.be/XgumG6Oeg1w

"What did Justin Bieber do lol. The kid can't catch a break."

123

"billie complains about wasted time yet lags in between songs to shout "hey yo" and all his other crowd pump up ridiculousness. "

Yeah, in the same concert, they were playing Holiday and Billie stalled the interlude in the bridge like 2.5 * longer than it should have been.

good for him

maybe both?

"billie complains about wasted time yet lags in between songs to shout "hey yo" and all his other crowd pump up ridiculousness."

Something even as an 11-year-old Green Day fanboy I couldn't stand

Wow... He was right to be angry, all he had to do is not act like a little bitch about it and he would avoid looking like a tool...

Staged.

That was kind of awesome. Well done BJA.

bille
you're drunk
go home

but really, this is either the greatest or the worst thing they could've done, although I'd be pretty pissed if my set was cut in fuckin half for USHER of all people

I would be fucking pissed too. I have earned more respect for this band now. That was fuckin rock n roll shit right there

i just keep watching it over and over and becomes more awesome

more laughable maybe

"he should've said fuck usher. why did he go after bieber?"

his biggest life mistake.

meh, it's hardly deftones at waldrock

i thought no one gave a shit, andcas

Scrawny middle aged millionaire caked in make-up throws hissy fit and breaks some equipment

Both sets should've been cancelled. Everybody wins!

so why then he does such a shitty music, like jb, fucking grew up shithead

why the usher hate, snide? :[

Usher > Chris Brown, Kreayshawn, Black Eyed Peas, Lil Wayne, etc.

Usher > Chris Brown, Kreayshawn, Black Eyed Peas, Lil Wayne, etc.

So? Usher's being a better artist than those other acts doesn't mean that he's a good artist, only one that's comparably better than other lesser acts. Even if Usher is a 2.5 when Lil Wayne is a 2.0, I'm still not going to want to listen to either.

Haven't liked Green Day in many years, but this was pretty fuckin awesome.

It was stupid, but i can't say i wouldn't have done it either.

I'd pretty fucking pissed too.

looks like the guys underneath the sign are laughing hehe

it's the iHeartRadio music festival. Can you really expect anything else

"iHeartRadio"

lol, posers.

band gets rich off of radio

gets pissed at radio festival

they should've destroyed shit that wasn't their own. noob move.

At least he's subtle.

Do you have the time, to listen to me whine?

what a child, hes acting like a spoiled rock star.

Life just isn't fair, Hitler! He's only made 30 million this year!

lol hes 40 years old for fuck's sake

"Not just hate on Usher, on Pop in general. But for Usher in particular.

1. I absolutely hate when people put numbers instead of letters for album / song titles in an attempt to look "cool". Such as Usher's latest album title, "Looking 4 Myself". To me it screams that he doesn't have musical integrity.

2. He brought Justin Bieber into the industry

3. I hate pop in general."

this is so idiotic.

in other news thats the most original green day song ever

1 FUCKING MINUTE ARE YOU KIDDING ME 1 FUCKING MINUTE WHO AM I JUSTINE BIEBER 1 FUCKIN GMINUTE

if anyone else you liked did this you'd be all for it. be honest.

"if anyone else you liked did this you'd be all for it. be honest."

just pictured Thom Yorke doing this

chuckled.

"if anyone else you liked did this you'd be all for it. be honest."

Nah, I'd lose a lot of respect of whomever was dumb enough to make a scene out of this. Have some
class plz It'd actually be embarassing for me because I'm a fan.

@andcas nope. i like megadeth but dave mustaine is a complete jackass and i smh at the stupid shit he does.

Don't know about you guys but if I was playing a show and it got cut in half because of fucking Usher I'd be just as pissed

I mean yeah, but like why would you want to be performing right after Usher in the first place?

When everything's a business, people like Usher exist. It's nothing to get upset over.

Although those of us who love art would love to see those like him fall.

probably not, probably only billie the drama queen

just pictured Thom Yorke doing this

hilarious

"Don't know about you guys but if I was playing a show and it got cut in half because of fucking Usher I'd be just as pissed"

who says he cant be pissed about it, the problem is how he handled it.

^lol

Billy Joe is the equivalent of Justin Bieber at this point. Even if he does stuff that'd be cool if anyone else did it, it's lame.

" who says he cant be pissed about it, the problem is how he handled it."

Oh sorry, were you offended by what he did? Quit being a holoer-than-thou pos

no, but he was still acting like a teenager at 40 years old, something you seem to be ok with. good luck with adulthood, buddy.

Would someone kindly usher Green Day off the stage? Thank you.

omg that name is offensive so immature!!!! maybe you need a reality check on what maturity actually means, lakes. then again, youre only, what, 15? 16?

OMG IM 16 TOO LAKES WE REALLY ARE TWINS

dead serious. also, hitleristhebest is a stupid username

this is actually really funny, cant wait to see how this unfolds

this is rather unfortunate, i'm seeing them in a month, so hopefully this is a one-time thing

He should of smashed it over Ushers head

would of been funny of he actually called usher out or something. STAGED

I call publicity stunt

do you mean to tell me. that the 45 FUCKING minutes WE were promised to perform with. has been shortened to 25 FUCKING minutes because USHER needs a longer set? is THAT what you mean to fucking tell me?

YUP THAT'S WHAT THE BOOKER SAID

Wonder what stunt they'll do for the other two albums?

"im no grammar nazi" hehehehehe

Wonder what stunt they'll do for the other two albums?

Set themselves on fire, hopefully.

" no, but he was still acting like a teenager at 40 years old, something you seem to be ok with. good luck with adulthood, buddy."

I'm not okay with it, I'm indifferent. He didn't offend me or insult me in any way, so why should I care? I think what he did was quite humorous and I'm sure the crowd enjoyed it as well. The Who smashed their instruments, Cobain smashed his, and many others have done the same.

this is why i love sputnik news

thats the most punk green days been for close to 20 years... actually pretty badass

Don't know about you guys but if I was playing a show and it got cut in half because of fucking Usher I'd be just as pissed"

This.

Oh guys, c'mon. I'm so butthurt that Usher took time from me! Life is so unfair! I'm going to smash my guitar, that will show the Man.

He didn't go off on Usher.

lol fuck this band

Justin Bieber is pop's Meg Griffin

most ppl itt are fucking retarded. big ups to green day for this.

pop-punk superstars think they're still relevant

Does this band even use d-beats?

because nobody listens to them anymore. they're 40 year olds making music for 14 year olds.

That was awesome.

mhmm

I think the point planewreck was trying to make (before he got shut down for no real reason) is that their set wasn't even
cut for Usher to PERFORM for longer...he just wanted to show a fucking 20 minute video. Try and tell me that's not at least
a little bit shitty for a performer.

I thought this was pretty funny though

Why do they even give a shit, they get paid the same either way

love this display of emotion, it seemed real and if it's not, billy joe is a great actor.

I laughed when it said 1 minutes!! hahahahaaha!!

they get paid the same either way [2]

unless they didn't

both green day and usher suck

nothing new

'cause punk bands play a the iHeart Festival

iHeartGreenDay

A possibility is that Billie Joe couldn't read the count down properly. Maybe some eye liner dribbled into his retinas.

cuz nothing screams "Punk Rock" louder than the iHeart festival and 43 metric tons of caked-on eyeliner.

USH USH

Haha douchebag

I understand him. Usher sucks a lot more.

Usher is shit, Green Day are shit
GD should have had a longer set, BJA shouldn't be on his period like that
Oh, and fucking LOL

God this is too good.

lol dumb child having a tantrum

facepalm.

Funny & awkward at the same time.

What kind of festival only gives Green Day 45 minutes anyway?

Then again, why would agree to playing right after Usher anyways? [2]

The band adopted the name Green Day, due to their fondness for marijuana.

Yep, 4/20 for lyfe!

funny as fuck

"1. I absolutely hate when people put numbers instead of letters for album / song titles in an attempt to look "cool". Such as Usher's latest album title, "Looking 4 Myself". To me it screams that he doesn't have musical integrity.

2. He brought Justin Bieber into the industry

3. I hate pop in general."


lol you're retarded

so is anyone who's actually impressed by this

Publicity stunts, lalala.

usher is better than green day anyway

hahaha yes

Pathetic.

"because nobody listens to them anymore. they're 40 year olds making music for 14 year olds."

Pretty sure they're still uber popular so I don't know what you're going on about

"how are they not relevant?"

Because the tweens that used to love them now just prefer an extra twenty minutes of Usher.

"they get paid the same either way

I don't think money's the reason why artists play live."

I think money is the only reason Green Day has done anything.

Rock musicians who smash their own guitars...

FUCK JUST THROW IT OUT INTO THE CROWD NEXT TIME SOME OF US CAN'T AFFORD YOUR WORTHLESS $2000 GUITARS

I don't think money's the reason why artists play live.

Yeah I was about to question that too

"I don't think money's the reason why artists play live"

fucking lol

This was so awesome. He could've been drunk/whatever, but say whatever you want about Green Day...they've worked REALLY hard to get to where they are today. To get cut like that would be pretty irritating.

Lame

"I don't think money's the reason why artists play live."

"is this serious"

Obviously you've never played a fucking show. Getting your set time cut is shitty.

no shit

this is what happens when shitty music comes together

i thought this was pretty cool honestly

Cliche rock star behavior/publicity stunt

"I've been around since 1988"

Good for you. Don't play Clear Channel dog and pony shows if you want to maintain a smidgen of credibility

I'd been pissed too if I was playing and the venue felt the need to have a teleprompter telling me I had 1 minute left to play as if you were accepting a fucking Oscar award.

MAJOR UPDATE (VIA GREEN DAY FACEBOOK PAGE):

Billie Joe is seeking treatment for substance abuse. We would like everyone to know that our set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those we offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. We regretfully must postpone some of our upcoming promotional appearances.

aw now its sad

lol

I think it more because he felt disrespected having a teleprompter tell them when to end their set.

even funnier now

Well there goes the publicity stunt theory

shit

"Rep: Green Day's Armstrong getting treatment"

Yahoo news reports "NEW YORK (AP) — Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is headed to treatment for
substance abuse."

http://music.yahoo.com/news/rep-green-days-armstrong-getting-treatment-184919287.html

HAHAHA....oh Green Day, Y U SO STINKY

one minute left is stuck in my head

i don't like it when people break instruments

hahah just heard about it a minute ago

uh oh

on the website, Billie has been admitted to rehab. But I think they are just saving face, and probably got the warning of a lifetime from the label, who probably threatened to pull the plug on the album if they didn't come up with an excuse or apology.

"He then proceeds to smash his guitar on stage with Mike Dirnt."

was hoping this meant he used mike to smash his guitar.

Have you guys ever seen Green Day play live? If not, look up a show on YouTube, if you can pry yourself away from your porn. They invite people onstage every show and even occasionally give away instruments. If you got your job replaced my some ass with a 20-minute video clip for tween girls, you have to admit you'd be pissed. Sure, maybe Billie Joe overreacted a tad, but now people are talking and that'll help sales. Plus, it turns out he may have been on something besides beer, so that's always an excuse. The point is, quit bitching about Bieber or whatever and fucking learn to respect artists.

green day rages against the machine

"if you can pry yourself away from your porn."

no thanks, id rather keep watching this fat chick get banged than listen to green day.

"The point is, quit bitching about Bieber or whatever and fucking learn to respect artists."

not when those artists are dumb and gay.

if they could pay in attitude cred theyd be billionaries

Very lame.

some ass with a 20-minute video clip for tween girls ... learn to respect artists.

if you make music you cant be bullied it isnt allowed

hey singforthedead shutthefuckup

This is total promotion for the new album. This has nothing to do with a shortened set. All PR is good PR.

"i thought this was pretty cool honestly" Yeah i agreee. they screwed his band for usher. hes an icon and shouldn't be pushed around like that.

lol at long, thought-out, precisely punctuated arguments on sputnik. you don't look smart.

"i thought this was pretty cool honestly"

then youre either a dumbfuck or 15 years old.

Usher >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> green day

Finally watched this.

Honestly I'd be pissed too if I was in his shoes.

There's a difference between being mad and being an idiot on stage with who knows how many people watching. The only thing he's done is further discredit himself, prove the notion that he is way too immature for his age, and make Usher look like the victim.

yeah who cares about usher though.

I personally like usher but would never rate him above a 3.

I like his really old stuff. you know? nice and slow and you make me wanna.

yeah who cares about usher though.

andcas, you're still doing the edit-every-post gimmick? I was gonna reply "As if there are even half a million black women out there with enough money to afford a CD." Would've been funny!

"the only thing anyone from green day did wrong was apologize."
nah

I had not watched the video until just now, i didn't think i needed to.

I thought it was pretty cool honestly, and i'm frankly(i think i already said this) i'd be pissed off too, i mean Billie is an important figure for pop punk and has been around for a long time, he did make American Idiot which is arguably one of the most culturaly important albums of the decade(whether we like it or not).

wtf has Usher done other than bring us an obnoxious song where he says "Yeah" a lot

"American Idiot which is arguably one of the most culturaly important albums of the decade"

wat

lol at long, thought-out, precisely punctuated arguments on sputnik. you don't look smart.

Lol, Lakes.

wat

Whether you like Green Day or not, they're undeniably pretty fucking huge.

uh, I wish they really didn't make it so popular...

yeah, too bad.

Does he know any other words besides the F-bomb?

I mean, I know you're mad bro. But come on, there are more colorful words in the English language.

"I thought it was pretty cool honestly, and i'm frankly(i think i already said this) i'd be pissed off too, i mean Billie is an important figure for pop punk and has been around for a long time, he did make American Idiot which is arguably one of the most culturaly important albums of the decade(whether we like it or not)."

youre right, hes a popular figure. if he wants to act like a spoiled teenager at 40 years old thats fine, cause hes a celebrity, goddammit!

I wasn't saying that he should've done that. I think we can all agree that that wasn't the most mature thing(though i still think it was cool, at least for what it represented).

I'm saying that all he's done should be enough for the people who did this to at least have some respect, instead of reducing his time like that, and i think we would all be pretty pissed if that happened to us. I know i would.

what a puss

Like Billie would say:

Fuck you fucking fuck wtf r u kidding fuck you

he didn't seem very angry...

Not sure how can anyone expect anything more out of a festival titled "Iheartradio"

Jesus he swears a lot even before his little melt down.

I know lol
But I never noticed that he did it so much.

Then again I don't pay a lot of attention to him

"Got one fucking minute that fucking knocked fucking fucking some motherfucker from fucking Argentina i'll tell you that"

LOL

cant believe i just saw this now
what a douche

so cute he thinks hes pete townshend

" "They're green actually" "oh well then what a green day for Green Day"

Lol fail

Jesus he swears a lot even before his little melt down.
