Green_Day_Winner Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hello everybody. I won the Green Day Grand Prize at the iHeart Radio Music Festival last September. About an hour before the band went out and Billie Joe stormed off stage, I met the band and they signed a Fender P bass, Les Paul Jr. Billie Joe Armstrong guitar (TV Yellow, a copy of the one he smashed onstage), and a Gretsch Catalina Club drum set with accessories. In a couple weeks, I will be putting them on eBay for sale. Stay tuned for more details. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Day_Winner Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 The whole experience of the concert was really awesome. The Clear Channel guys came and took my wife and I backstage. Once back there, there were other people who got their pictures taken with the band. There were families getting pics with the band. It was hilarious. All of the others left. They had our musical equipment set up in a corner. They came over and said "Hello. Congrats." and signed. They were all really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie did not say much. When he was taking pictures with the families, we could tell he was on another level. It was hilarious. He had kids in fake head locks. Very animated.
