Green Day Q&A Thread


Liam

Recommended Posts

I found this about what happened.  Billie's reaction may have been extreme.  However, it seems some reaction was justified.

"Band picks up 'Best Internation Live Act' award (Aug 27)

Green Day have been rewarded for their high energy stage performance by winning Kerrang's 'Best Internation Live Act' award. An awkward moment didn't seem to bother the band as Wattie Buchan, singer of Exploited, came onstage to deliver the award, and upon opening up the envelope, muttered "I don't fucking believe it," and stalked off stage -- before even revealing who the winner was. The band acted like nothing had happened, doesn't sound like something Green Day would do does it?"

So the guy is an asshole and doesn't like the band (the horror!). Billie is still a dickhead for saying that.

If Wikipedia's list of Kerrang! Award winners is correct (and complete), that incident must have been before 1999, so like forever ago.
The statement kind of reminds of Platypus, too, even though that song was for Tim Yohannan.

Shame there isn't a video of Billie looking like a fool ranting about standing on a guys grave laughing when he's dead because he doesn't like Green Day :P

You are still assuming he really said that.  There is no proof other than an interview with a bigger asshole.

Assuming? OK. Well then you are assuming they even won the award because there is no proof other than an article in an asshole magazine :P Do you believe everything you read? Careful! Hey let's keep going. Let's question everything that ever happened that hasn't been videotaped as evidence because most people are asshole so why believe anyone :P

Oh I see your point.  Sorry, I was so wrong.  Everything you read on the internet is correct.

You know, the funny thing is I can't find out when Green Day ever won Best International Live Act at the Kerrang Awards :lol: On one site it said 2001, but Papa Roach won in that category that year. Maybe it's all just a conspiracy :D

Oh for goodness sake...this is a proper interview with a member of a punk band that predates Green Day by a million years not some 15 year old's tumblr account posting "facts" and "quotes" about their favourite band. The interview is real.

The interview is real, but I think the point is he's going to describe it to make himself look good and Billie look bad that's all. If we heard Billie's side as well (where of course he'd paint himself in the better light since everyone always thinks they're the one in the right in an argument) it'd be easier to judge but as it is it's totally one sided so you have to take it with a pinch of salt.

 

Brilliant :lol:

I believe it as like I said the Steve Jobs incident demonstrates Billie is capable of saying um...unkind things at times. I don't care that the other guy may not be fantastic but I still think Billie is a dick. That is all.

Billie was also drunk when he said the Steve Jobs comment (at least what he claimed if I remember correctly) people do say stupid shit when intoxicated

But Billie sure didn't say that because the guy doesn't like Green Day...

The guy opened the envelope and said "I don't fucking believe it" and "stalked" off the stage evidently because he didn't like Green Day (as he confirmed) so ultimately yeah... Billie did say that because he doesn't like Green Day and expressed it.

It's not the same saying you don't like the band to say, probably disrespectfully but we can't know that, that you don't fucking believe they won the award. Plus everything he stated in the interviews that he probably let see when when he was there. Not liking a band is not a reason to be angry, stuff associated with it in his case, in my opinion can be.

The interview(s) came after Billie was such a dick to him. I probably would have said a lot worse had someone said to me what Billie said to him :P What Billie did makes him look like a dickhead. Is it really so hard to accept.

but what did Wade do before hand? he's left out the part that shows him in a bad light (just as he did with Linkin Park...) 

 

not that I'm saying what Billie said was cool or anything but we only had one person saying this he said there were a crowd around surely there would be others that could back his story up something like that would been talked about no drama that happens backstage at a award shows goes untalked about at all

He made it quite clear (in the subsequent interviews as well as when presenting the award) that he already had a deep dislike for Green Day before that incident, it wasn't brought on about by that. And seriously, if Billie Joe had behaved that way to another artist when presenting an award to them, there would be thousands of articles about it now and a 20+ pages thread on here about how unprofessional/dickish that was of him. It's clearly not the same as saying "I'm not a fan of Green Day" in an interview when asked about it.
It should also be worthy of note that these interviews happened like at least 10 years after the incident, he might have embellished his story a bit to make it a bit more interesting after such a long time.

Read above...he walked offstage etc because Green Day won an award. He didn't leave it out...it was documented in Kerrang's etc.

So he hated Green Day. Who cares! He is in the Exploited!! Practically every punk band hated Green Day in the 90s and nobody cares if one asshole punk insults another at an award show...this isn't the Kardashians or Beyoncé. Plus it happened before most social media when people had lives.

wade leaves out a lot of shit to make him seem like the innocent one what did Wade say to Billie before this?

i have a hard time believing Wade when he has made numerous lies against other people so why wouldn't not lie about Green Day

Billie is a verified dickhead so I guess people can believe who they want. Even Kerrang found it uncharacteristic for Green Day not to respond to what happened...I for one believe Billie did.

so why is it not one single person has backed Wade up there was a huge crowd around (according to Wade) you clearly have zero understanding about how backstage awards shows work something like that would not been kept secret hush hush SOMEONE would have commented by now 

has Billie been dickish yes but then I just remember you're one who doesn't believe people can change and want to hold everyone's bad moments against them so we're going in circles
