Chin for a Day Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 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?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie is still a dickhead for saying that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurie_black Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 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.

Well then you are assuming they even won the award because there is no proof other than an article in an asshole magazine Do you believe everything you read? Careful! Hey let's keep going.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I don't care that the other guy may not be fantastic but I still think Billie is a dick. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara_gd Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 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 But Billie sure didn't say that because the guy doesn't like Green Day...

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara_gd Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 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.

I probably would have said a lot worse had someone said to me what Billie said to him What Billie did makes him look like a dickhead. Is it really so hard to accept.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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
