Billie Joe Armstrong Calls Bon Jovi The Worst Band To Play With

^Hahaha!

In 1994 Billie was a snotty punk kid who wasn't shy of taking the piss out of bands he didn't like. It's not exactly surprising that he wasn't a fan of a cheesy hair metal band like Bon Jovi. There was nothing diva like about it, it was just the standard snotty way he behaved on stage and in interviews back then. To be honest that story that ends with them "getting pissed off back stage and throwing a fit" sounds pretty dodgy, where's the source? I'm sure they just thought Bon Jovi was a crap band and weren't impressed with the way they acted.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have a secret love for 80's cock rock...Bon Jovi have some fun songs but they were always a little too girly and poppy compared to like...Motley Crue and Maiden and stuff.

Bon Jovi can't win this poll, we'd never live it down... Such a band to lose to... So yeah, what are Billie's reasons?

Ah, naked Billie Joe. Always a good time. How have i not seen this before?

Also, how do you quote a vid without the whole vid showing and taking up space? I think it's a no-no, am i right?

This is really why Billie does not like Bon Jovi:

"In the dressing room, Armstrong heads straight for a sofa in the corner and clams up. Bored? Perhaps. Exhausted? Most likely. But don't expect stereotypical rock-star behavior of the sort that Jon Bon Jovi displayed after a New York benefit last December that included both the New Jersey rocker and Green Day.

"A representative from his entourage comes over to our room and goes, 'Yes, Jon would like to have a beer if it's at all possible,'" Armstrong says. "We were like 'Well, tell Jon to get his fucking fluffy ass in here and get himself a beer.'"

Glad to bring it to your attention :D

Yeah I just took it out for you. You can either just delete the video from the quote before you post it, or make it into a link by writing a word, highlighting it, clicking the link button and putting in the url of the video. Easiest to just delete it. There might be other ways too but I can't remember :lol:, I should probably find out.

They barely did, it was at the Madison Square Garden show they played in 1994, a charity event with loads of different bands playing. The one where this happened :D

And here.

Yep, that's true. It said so in a swedish magazine.

Ahh, naked Billie. If this was a VHS, you just know it would be completely worn through after a few years days in the Hermione household :eyebrows:

What is it about that song in the 90s that made him do crazy things? XD.

That was a good Rolling Stone article, too. I like how they said something about them being the ones who flew closest to the sun without their wings melting...

17 years later, they're still flying high! (Bon Jovi, on the other hand...)

Bon Jovi has some good songs, but I could definitely see him being sort of a jerk. Nothing his has ever been compares to Green Daaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
