Billie Joe Armstong is SO punk. If your definition of “punk” is similar to Avril Lavigne’s. You know, smashing guitars, dissing fellow pop stars, and expressing yourself with your middle finger and the word “fuck,” just in case the audience is deaf.
Late Friday night an especially enraged Billie Joe performed at the iHeartRadio Festival in Vegas. Usher’s set ended up running long, causing Green Day‘s to be cut short.
“You’re gonna give me one minute?! Let me tell you something, I’ve been around since fucking nineteen eighty fucking eight, and you’re gonna give me one minute?! You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me!” he yelled after being told to wrap it up.
“I’m not fucking Justin Bieber, you motherfuckers!” he added. “Let me show you what one fucking minute fucking means.”
Also, he’s 5’7″ and developed a British accent as a coping mechanism. Listen to how he says “joke.”
UPDATE: On Sunday Armstrong’s rep told E! News that he is “seeking treatment for substance abuse.”
This explains his behavior last week, but what about his rudeness the past 18 years??
