This includes throwing TVs out of hotel rooms, swinging on chandeliers, stealing random vehicles...the list goes on. So, please go ahead and add to this. (Sorry if there is already a thread like this - I couldn't find any...)

At Goat Island when they shouted at the boat that appeared in the water behind them. Also Bizarre festival when that man interrupted Billie and Billie responded by screaming STFU

I find those two incidents the funniest

Oh yeah that definitely is one of the funniest scenes ever, I wanted to post that, too. I found the clip on youtube, it's worth watching it again. His face when the guy starts talking is priceless :lol::lol: So embarrassed that this happened in Germany though :P

It wouldn't be half as funny if Billie understood what they were saying! :P

Right! :D Because what the guy is saying isn't funny at all, it's about people getting hurt in the front. But Billie can't know that.

I liked what Sarcasm said because if you just watch the face or TreCool on Letterman and his antics...it's amusing.  Peace and Love - Peace AND Love

That interview on an Australian TV show where they hijacked the house band's instruments and played The Grouch was lols. The interview itself was also hysterical - none of them were listening to a word the host was saying :lol: 

Also, the interview on Modern Rock Live in 1997, in particular when they were taking questions from callers and someone asked about Prosthetic Head and they were like 'how do you know that song, record's not out yet' :P And Mike's radio voice, lmao.

The gig they did in Germany in 2004 (I think it was a radio thing?) with the song for David and Billie stopping halfway through American Idiot to say, "if you guys feel like dancing, that's okay." :D "Come closer. Now you know how short I am!"

The BBC Radio 1 interview where they previewed some Trilogy songs, and whilst everyone was busy trying to work out how to connect Billie's iPhone, Tre just kinda took over like "you're listening to BBC Radio 1....this is the Green Day debacle" :cool:

When they picked people from the audience to play Blitzkrieg Bop somewhen in the Warning era and the singer didn't even know the words and the guitar player could hardly play. At first BJ tries to teach him but then just watches in disgust, in the end he decides to pick someone else but no one wants to and Billie just desperately looks at Mike and says "Mike, help!"

Anyone knows what I'm talking about?

Ha that reminds me of Perth soundwave - BJ picked the girl cause she said she could play - she was so bad & he tried to help - then he said I thought you said you could play - the ONLY reason I'm giving you this guitar is so you can practice.

I liked the time when he pulled me on stage to sing the Lady Cobra part of Nightlife with him.   Ahh forgot, that is what he is going to do on this tour.

For past tours, I loved when he brought his mother on stage, so cute.

Trying to think of the most extreme. When some guy was causing trouble in the crowd during the 21st CB tour and Billie pointed him out to security and then gobbed what looked like a gallon of spit in his face.

When Billie got arrested for indecent exposure for mooning on stage in 1996.

When the band were staying at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in LA on Oscar night, and Mike decided to shit over their balcony, and it landed on the patio of the room below where Juliette Binoche, who had won the Best Supporting Actress award earlier that evening, was staying.

When the band hired a dominatrix to abuse their 19 year old guitar tech just to get a sound effect for Blood Sex and Booze, telling him he wouldn't get a credit on the album if he refused (5:20)

When they added male strippers to the mix for King for a Day (and Billie's advances were tragically rejected by one of them at 2:20, and Billie felt he had to try and outdo them at 4:50 :lol:)

The giant Woodstock mud fight where Mike's teeth ended up getting knocked out by a security guard.

When they played at Tower Records and they instructed the audience to riot, trashed the place, spray painted fuck you on the window and mooned the crowds outside:

When Billie received a letter of complaint from a concerned mother and wrote back in response:
