Billie Joe Armstrong Checks Into Rehab After Losing His Mind In Las Vegas
Throwing hate at Justin Bieber is usually a sign of a sane mental state and a sober mind, but that's not the case for Billie Joe Armstrong. Emily the Strange's uncle who used to secretly give her sips from his bottle of Zima at family reunions is sitting his ass in rehab today after he nearly raged his black eyeliner off during the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday night. PAGING NURSE JACKIE! Green Day's rep gave the news to The Associated Press:
In a statement to The Associated Press, Green Day apologized "to those they offended at the iHeartRadio Festival" and said its set was not cut short by Clear Channel, the host of the two-day festival.
The Grammy winning band also is canceling some of its promotional appearances. It is due to release the album "Uno" on Tuesday, the follow-up to "21st Century Breakdown," released three years ago. "Uno" is the first in a trilogy of albums; the second is to be out in November, and the last in January. The band is due to kick off a nationwide tour Nov. 26 in Seattle.
Translation: Clear Channel dragged Billie Joe to a chair, pulled down his Cheap Monday jeggings and spanked him until he agreed to say it wasn't their fault.
Green Day's rep didn't say specifically why Billie Joe's in rehab, but for the sake of Maybelline's stock, I hope it's not to deal with his unhealthy addiction to eye paint. And at the bottom of a dumpster somewhere in Las Vegas, the strings on Billie Joe's broken electric guitar made a smile.

What the fuck, though!
lol!
That made me want sex AND pot.
Stupid alarm!

Calm down, BJ. maybe you are and he just can't feel it.
As someone who lived through the REAL punk era...can you be punk if you get paid millions of dollars and your shit it sold in Hot Topic? I think not.

BJ Armstrong is an adult baby. He needs to grow up and stop throwing temper tantrums and he xould use an ego check. Does rehab offer that?
Nice dream anonymouse! :-)
The apology proves how punk Green Day really aren't. Clear Channel is paying the bills. I liked Dookie and American Idiot. Most of their stuff is the same 3 chords in 3 minutes, though.
And while Billie Joe is no Bieber, he ain't no Pete Townsend either with that tired guitar smashing that was shocking - oh, 45 years ago.
Get off the bad shit, dude.

Um yeah guys, I'd like to thank you for the "Tre Cool is a Cunning Linguist" insight b/c I've never thought of him sesssually before but had a dream about him last night! bwahhaaa For some reason I had brought my little sister to a GD concert in a disgusting, grimy venue and Tre was eyeballing me from behind the drumset the entire time. Toward the end of their set, my *PARENTS* showed up & were like, "We're here to take your sister home" except that they decided to hang around...and the audience space in front of the stage became a bed so they were just chilling there. ?? Tre comes over w. a giant pipe (shush!)made up teracota and asks LOUDLY, "Anyone want to smoke??" I asked, "Not cigarettes, right?" I lead him out into the hallway, away from my parents, even though I'm almost 40 for fucks sake...the only place to go to smoke up is the DISGUSTING men's room, which looks like someone's basement & for some reason I'm walking around barefoot (EWWW). We're standing there and he says, "Well, it's too late now to pack up and go tonight..." I say, "What? You mean you guys?" & put my hands on his shoulders & pull him closer, b/c I actually am hearing impaired & couldn't really hear him, even though, me, the dreamer knew exactly what he said. and then the alarm went off.
You guys!!! LMAAOOOOOOOOOO
p.s. - The pipe was fractured at the top and looked rather labia-esque, in retrospect. Oh.Em.Gee. Nothing to see here, Dr. Freud, move along.
Team oldschool punk for life! In fact i am the vicepresident of Team oldschool punk (also the treasurer and janitor).
That said, i always felt ambivalent about oldschool punk mingling with the middle-of-the-road mainstream pop whores.

Anonymouse- correct, I was 21 and he was 28. I'm now 32.
Agnostic- didn't realize from your first post you'd hooked up w him as well. I believe Claudia (his 2nd wife) was philpina....I'm not sure. I recall her crying when I was out on tour w them in 2002, saying being married to him was really hard....
A couple years ago, he actually called me. He told me I was the first of only two girls he messed around w sexually while married to Claudia (please don't hate.....I didn't know he was married til after the fact). He seemed very sincere when he told me that, but in retrospect I highly doubt it....dude is a major slut.
I remember his wang as average for a man who is only 5'6" tall. But this was many moons ago.

@ Foxxy-
I know what you mean, I always side with the players too. But this is about splitting profits with the owners on concessions, merchandise, etc. I just get bummed when I think that these guys are a fraction of my age, are set for life, and STILL it's not enough. And the NHL is only making everyone lose by locking them out.
As for lockouts, this is the fourth time in 20 yrs for the NHL-- and that little turd Gary Bettmann has been the commissioner for 18 of those yrs. Coinkydink? I think not. He's a horrible little man.
*waiting for GG to chime in*
@BaconSlut,
Yeah, I popped one in my mouth at the far mar and that was it. Saw them earlier in the day at some new gourmet vendor mart and didn't buy, glad I saw them later. I love/hate these new foodie/gourmand joints. This woman let me sample this balsamic vinegar aged 18 years that would be perfect with these tomatoes and fresh black pepper. The vinegar is 30 bucks a bottle. I just can't see myself buying that even if I had that kinda money to spend.
The tomatoes are in the fridge, I'll let them get to room temps before I eat them, screw my brother.

i feel for you -- all three of the other major US pro sports have had lockouts and strikes in quasi-recent times so i guess it's now the NHL's turn. just me, but i always side with the players in these stare downs. whatever obscene amount of money the players are paid? imo, it is still not enough when considered vis a vis the profits made by the league, owners and media profits. and none of the strikes are all about pay -- the strikes are also about standard rookie contract terms, and free agency rules, and retirement benefits (future and retroactive), etc.

Agnostic--
Yes, he's def a slut...I met him for the first time five years before (97) and he was nailing yet another fan in the bus that night. He has cheated on all his wives constantly too. His wang was average size though. It was before american idiot. I kinda think they sold their souls to get their comeback fame.
-----------------------------
His last wife was Hispanic and they divorced so quickly 'cause she wasn't about to put up with his fuckery, when he first propositioned me he was seeing the girl from the Donnas, a month later he was single again and I happened to be at the Henry *Fonda* Theatre and was he ever persistent! If all man whores were as attentive & creative as he is no one would complain about man whores... His wang seemed to be less than 5 inches though, that's not average is it? I'm ashamed to admit that I can count with one hand the number of penises I've been "acqainted with" AND I'd still have fingers left. Please don't ban me off this site, I'm a slut in my thoughts
Can I go to rehab? Everyones doing it now anyways. Oh I forgot to wipe my ass I guess I need rehab. Fuck that, own what you said asshole.

I'm a grunge aficionado, and don't know jackshit about punk, but I do have a soft spot for Green Day because Dookie was one of the first CD's I ever bought, along with Fugees "The Score" and Fleetwood Mac "Rumours." I'll agree that they sound a little whiny sometimes, and their songs can be pretty formulaic, but still....I return. lol.

The Sex Pistols were manufactured but in making that perfectly clear they were completely authentic. Their record was not allowed to appear on the charts in the number one position because it would have ruined the Queen's Jubilee. That is punk. But they were really the first and last punks that called themselves punks. Velvet Underground and The Who and many others were punk before it was a marketing term. Once it became a successful marketing tool there wasn't really any point in calling anything punk. It was either underground or mainstream. Green Day sucks mainstream dick as their apology shows. Johnny Rotten would have never apologized and Sid would have probably beaten Usher with his bass.
I feel so Hot Topic lecturing about punk rock. haha

I call bullshit on the substance abuse rehab stuff. He had a meltdown because he was plain pissed off at his set being cut short and some suit told him to say he freaked out the bad shit or you lose your tour sponsorship.

As to whether Green Day is a "punk band" or not, don't forget that even the Sex Pistols were a manufactured band, so who *is* a "real" punk band? But honestly, what's important is: do you like their music? Does it speak to you? Does it bring you enjoyment of some kind? At least in my opinion. I personally think GD would look weird dressed like average joes. I'm just happy to know that Mike is, apparently, a nice fellow. (He looked 40 when he was 18, btw).
If the Illuminati's radio station master's didn't tell him he only had a minute left, who did? Once you piss them off you HAVE to go to rehab because they cut off your dope.

If you (or any other whorz) spot Kumatoes (brown tomatoes) in the produce section, they are a must binge-upon food. Very sweet. Quarter them, toss on a bit of sea salt, and bang your head on the kitchen table in a fit of euphoria.
------------------------------------------
Those sound a whole lot like Cherokee tomatoes. I've only had one and it was sweeter than regular reds. I bought some brownish cherry sized tomatoes at a far mar, oh mah gahd they are so sweet I had to put them away for fear of eating them all. I got a bunch of stuff for bro and sis in law to nosh and drink wine with when they come up from Florida and the bastards didn't tell me when they'd come. So they got up here, called and came over without giving me any time to prepare the noshes I bought and I'm stuck with this stuff. I is pissed majorly.

I'm pissed. I'm apparently allergic to something blooming (ragweed?). I slept with my bedroom window open one evening last week, and the next day my head was congested. I thought it might have been something I'd eaten, so I tried the open window again last night. Today? Some head congestion.
Also, I went to Trader Joe's and they seem to no longer be carrying two of the things I went there to buy. On top of that I had an uber-chatty cashier.
Mike, ther's a recall on Trader Joes peanut butter! Throw it away if you have any...salmonella.

High five back, SF!
On a seperate note, I got to know the other guys the next year when I was lucky enough to go out on tour for 8 days (was friends w other people on the tour). Billie Joe is VERY nice, and particularly, he's very good at making every fan he meets feel "equal" to him, there's not a lot of ego. Atleast, it was that way a decade ago. I bet there is a ridiculous amount of pressure and "direction" from the industry...plus making THREE albums....I guess he just snapped.
------------------------------------
That Tre is such a slut! I've met two girls he hooked up with after the show back in the mid 90's, they were a cool band, Especially when they'd open for old school real punk bands, or take a min morning slot at the Warped tour (2000) Anyway, I partied with Mike (the bassist) at a gay bar in WeHo after the release of Live Freaky Die Freaky. If you hung out with them pre American Idiot Crazyness you'd totally see how much they changed , after AI it was 5 figures a-day stylists, couture suits, Paris Hilton & Nicole Ritchie backstage (that's how she met her douchey husband from Good Charlotte) their old tour manager of 10 years quit in disgust. I ran into them in the balcony area of the HOB on Sunset a couple of years ago & I pretended I didn't see them. PS-Tre's good at giving head for two reasons, he loooooves it and he has to be 'cause he's got a little friend if you know what I mean.
Good for you nonetheless.
