iHeartRadio Music Festival - Green Day interview

iHeartRadio Music Festival - Green Day tells Kennedy about the least punk rock things they've ever done backstage at iHeartRadio Musical Festival 2012

[@kjkokekhkiklkl]

I heart radio meltdown was a combination of billies alcoholism and a poor crowd.

[@thatguyTushar]

Y'know i thought that too (and it kinda was) but then i saw iHeart 2014 and that was shit too. iHeart festival just has a super shit crowd.

[@kjkokekhkiklkl]

Yeah what happened to decent concerts? haha Green Day are the best live band so it has to be the crowd thats shit

[@TheSpiderTre]

and also add that iHeart and Usher screwed them over by cutting their set in half

I met Billie a few months before this. He was looking healthy, and overall, he was just super nice, extremely gracious, and totally unassuming. Just a really nice guy to be around. I'm glad to hear he's doing better after this incident.

You could see how unhealthy he looked. He's doing 100% better now and I'm so proud of him.

[@Emmibubble83]

Coming from a family with an alcoholic father, seeing someone else who's an alcoholic always breaks my heart. Billie has been my hero for the past 8 years or so, and will continue to be, and I was super glad to see he announced recently that he's doing much better. I'm sure he wishes he didn't flip out like that publicly on TV, even for the person he is, you can't not regret that in some way shape or form,

Billie isn't always like that. When he is sober he is just like the old billie. I saw him in april at Dunkin Donuts center and it was like he was in 2009 again. He was the same guy and it shocked me. I felt like I saw my long lost friend. You can just tell when he is drunk/high or sober.

deja your comment is fine, what's the problem with people liking it ? and even if your were twelve years old, so what? you know, when you'll be 20 you may look at your 17 years old and think : Jesus Christ... :) and it's probably a very common feeling. I think it's great to feel that with age, you evolve in a way you find better. No need to be so embarrassed with past stuff... whatever it might be. And actually at 12, you were able to write this very right comment. 3 years ago I was 19 and I wouldn't have commented more rightfully about that video.

I find it so hard to watch this, and I'm just a fan. Which makes me feel so sorry for his friends and family. What must it have been like for them to see him reduced to this? I can't even imagine it. I hope I never have to deal with addiction, or see one of my loved ones go through it, it's horrific.

[@julier2212]

I know. compare this billie joe to how he was in interviews 2009-2010. He's like a completely different man :( shows just what alcohol and prescription drugs can do to you if you're not careful. it's SO sad, he didn't deserve what happened to him. nobody deserves to go through something like that.

Billie Joe's behavior is actually very unusual--show me one other major televised appearance where he's drunk off his ass and hitting on the female host. In addition, Mike and Tre appear pretty sober. Obviously, there are times when they all hit the stage more than a little lit, but when that happens they're all relatively happy drunks. This instance appears to be limited to just Billie Joe, and he appears to be anything but happy.
