In our continuing effort to find things that happened this weekend that were WAAAAY more entertaining than the Emmys (frankly, it’s not at all difficult), check out this absolutely brilliant, hilarious, and mind-blowing temper tantrum thrown by Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day after learning his set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas was cut short to allow more time for Usher. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, because I too have been around since “nineteen eighty-fuckin’-eight, motherfuckerrrrrrrs!”
Oh, and btw, guess who went to rehab immediately following this outburst? TOTES WORTH IT.
Lemme guess: they have a new CD coming out that’s supposed to be a love letter to their punk roots?
Because this looks like a marketing stunt.
billie in rehab: yep, black eye-liner/shadow is a hell of a drug.
(@ r: no marketing ploy — i’m pretty sure he’s just a whiny bitch.)
I love when Blogtown is a day behind the rest of the internet. Can’t wait for the BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG ENTERS REHAB article later this afternoon when you read it on one of the many websites you crib your content from.
LOOK AT THIS VIDEO I JUST FOUND CALLED FRIDAY
Or maybe you hid it in a secret invisible sentence under the video that I swear wasn’t there before!
HARUMPH
At first, the cynic in me thought it was a marketing stunt too. But I’ve seen Green Day live more times than I care to admit, and just his whole demeanor, singing, and the way he keeps shouting throughout the entire performance “rant rant, I’ll tell you that right fucking now…” tells me he was trashed.
Still totally worth it.
I think they are putting horse steroids in guy-liner now. Geoff Tate, anyone, anyone?
