Micky Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Blergh, this morning my mum called me and said "did you read?? the newspapers say Billie Joe was on heavy drugs in Bologna, that's why they cancelled your show." So glad the press enlightened us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjaded Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 i love the fact that he got smashed and did what he did. Everyone at the office is talking about it. Trust me it will move units!And im calling bullshit on Rehab cause its just to sasve face with the IHEARTRADIO people for their contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E!!i Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 it could be anything. alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs... I don't think so. I hope not... it doesn't seem like they would lie about something like that. and if that was the reason, perhaps billie was the only one that knew it. ah ok thx for clearing me up on this cause when I translate "substance abuse" into German it means "drug abuse" but I knew that it's a bit different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Here's a new article: http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-09-24/billie-joe-armstrong-was-drinking-in-las-vegas-before-breakdown-says-family-friend-exclusive/ No idea how reliable this is but it should clear up a few things.

E!!i Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 He's most likely getting treatment for alcohol, and that show was cancelled because he was "dehydrated", so it very well could be related to his problems with alcohol. Nobody really knows though as everything is just speculation right now so it could be worlds apart too. I'm also very glad people are following the GDC format here in this crisis of a thread: - People adding their comments of approval/support - People horribly overracting - People being whiny and bitchy about said people overreacting Repeat and rinse. he dehydrated? thought he was ill and had to throw up Anyone else starting to fell like this thread needs its own FAQ? yup good idea Here's a new article: http://www.celebuzz....iend-exclusive/ No idea how reliable this is but it should clear up a few things. thx for this, but I don't know if the thing with Italy is really true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 thx for this, but I don't know if the thing with Italy is really true No one does but those involved. But this came from someone close to the band so I would trust this more than whatever the newspapers are saying (that is, if those quotes are even true).

EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I watched the Youtube clip. If I was promoting a new album and was playing an OLD song while being told that it's too late (and not my fault) to play any NEW songs, I'd be so pissed. Considering the heat of the moment, he managed to mention that he loves the crowd ("god fing love you all") and that he is in no way angry with them ("we'll be back"). I really don't see the big deal - he made some awfully good points.Wow... Usher went way over his time? He's the one who should be apologizing. Billie got off to let others perform. And that doesnt really seem to matter now..why are people still bitching over this. Its been made pretty clear they didnt go over their aloted time but who cares now frankly. That shouldnt be the main point of discussion now should it... yeah the outburst has something to do with the treatment happening but it has been established that it seems they didnt go over so his rant was that much more odd.

EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 My mom thinks all of this is suspicious. She said if it was up to Billie, if he had a problem then he would of gone into rehab without telling anyone. She says the label are making this into a big deal to cover their asses since they might look bad after what Billie did. Noooo. Thats all that needs to be said on this so called PR Cover up shit. This thread is hilarious. People thinking 'substance abuse' means alcohol. People thinking him going into rehab means he'll be getting treatment for months (he'll be in an out, if he even goes there at all). People thinking he might have a genuine drug problem. People not realising that when celebrities are reported as checking into rehab it's almost always for publicity rather than being a true health concern. He's had a few sniffs and maybe a couple of drinks too many, woke up with a hangover and decided rehab is the answer. Lightweight. Oh and the rant wasn't spontaneous. You my friend are an idiot.

I'm sure they've been supporting him the entire time, I've no doubt they'll be there now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 this is totally a PR move by his agents. i dont think he "has a problem" i think he was just wasted. Again No. Even if they didn't "get their set cut", fact of the matter is Billie was still fucked enough to the point that he couldn't get through his songs, which still would've been a huge disaster. Even if he didn't flip out, maybe it wouldn't have been in the news as much, but it still would've been a terrible performance. Instead of focusing so much time on debating if the set was cut short, why don't we just move on from that and look to the future? I understand we're all looking for something to pinpoint a fault on, but all it's doing is causing unnessecary arguments and rumors. I don't know about you guys, but instead of trying to pinpoint a reason for whatever is going on with him, I'm just going to let it be and support Billie as he takes whatever steps he feels nessecary to return to full health so that he can be running back and forth on stage and hitting all of those high notes again. Finally someone talking some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucatotti Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Has everyone seen this picture? Maybe it has been posted before but I think it's pretty awesome this is really pretty. When I've first heard about billie getting a treatment this was the first thing I've realized. God damn Mike is real friend. Billie and Mike - a really touching story of a friendship.

greenbear Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 So good of Tre to post that picture (see previous page). It must be a big relief to them to fiinally have Billie accepting help. It may be an uphill struggle but they're on the right road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Guys,it's not like he's dying or he's in hospital. He just drinks way too much and needs help to learn how to control himself again. I know it's sad but not that much. He's been on drugs and alcohol before and nobody cared. I highly doubt this is anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just drinks way too much and needs help to learn how to control himself again. I know it's sad but not that much. He's been on drugs and nobody cared. No one ever said he's dying or... Whatever. And we still don't know if its alcohol, drugs or both (or do we?). And it's GREEN day, they took drugs since... always and may have still consumed something from now and then. Of course nobody cared that much about it, 'cause it seemed like they could handle it. Apparently Billie not, but that's not our business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
