First off, Billie Joe is not “old school”. They are new school and much more mainstream. There are older and much better punk bands out there that don’t have to play the iheartradio festival to make a quick buck. He’s just butthurt. I doubt they cut their set short and even in their video “apology” that it wasn’t.. Billie Joe needs to grow a pair.

i respect him for what he did. he stood up to the disgusting hollywood music scene. then after doing so he suddenly has a “substance abuse” problem? no. its just them lashing back. he was right for what he did.

Fake punk poser goes to rehab. So? All that means is he’ll soon foist his album of self-actualization upon the masses.

And lose the makeup guys…you look like trannies.

totoal BS…Green Day oldest punk band around, grammy winners sold over 50 million ablbums and some jackhole from iheartradio is telling them how long they can play is so stupid, and now this crap about him abusing drugs is ridiculous, he did not have a meltdown he made a totally rational statement basically saying, we’re rockstars and been around over 20 years and your telling us what to do and how long we play? FU…to me that is what being a rockstar is about saying standing up to the man in this case iheartradio who blackballed their performance and cut their playing time in half when acts like usher got more time, absolutely ridiculous

Sorry folks, I think it’s funny as heck. Though, he eventually broke his guitar, he couldn’t outright. It just looked hilarious.

That’s punk rock or just rock and roll for ya. Who care’s if he flipped out alot of other bands have done worse. I say way to go Billie for not putting up with that BS. Remember they started off as a punk band and not POP, what do you expect?

Good for him. Honestly, cutting a band’s set in half in the middle of their set to make way for someone else is not cool and I don’t know any rock star around who would stand for that. Seriously, you tell me how a rock star is supposed to handle that. End your second or third song the crowd is loving and just say good night? God bless him if he’s using and I hope he gets clean. Billy Joel’s tantrum over not being properly lit was pathetic. Kanye West is a joke. But Billie Joe Armstrong? People live to see someone smash a guitar, and I’m sure every Green Day fan there was P.O.’ed at the concert promoters, not at the self-respecting rock star showing those promoters for the disorganized and disrespectful clowns that they are.

It’s funny to conform to a standard, then pretend to rebel against that standard, then be reminded that it’s not make-believe, then ACTUALLY rebel against your own conformity, but your rebellion is a commodity, and it’s useless if you don’t sell “Never Sell Out”, but everyone sees the whole charade anyway, then notice you’re a rock star who punches a clock. But you still get to smash your guitar.
