After realizing their set was being cut short, Green Day’s front-man Billie Joe Armstrong began a rant that mentioned his disdain for having only a minute left in his set, citing the fact that he has “been around since 1988”, and reminding us that he isn’t “Justin Beiber”. A few b-bombs were thrown in for good measure.
The rant ended with him smashing his guitar. Of course, there’s two sides to every story, and it doesn’t look like Green Day were innocent either. Apparently they started 30 minutes late, and Billie isn’t well, as he is about to enter rehab for substance abuse. That’s sad to hear, because otherwise, this type of rant actually showed me that they still cared.
This comes a few days before the band release their new album ¡Uno!, which seems to be very interesting timing, or a huge coincidence.
