Mike is so sweet. Last year I met him on the street and when I tried to get closer for a picture, the security man took me away, then Mike put a pick in my hand and said "this Is for you" and went away.

Mike is sweet, when i was 15 after seeing my first green day concert (first concert ever actually) he came out to say hi to the fans and i was crying cuz i was so happy and he reached his hand out and held my hand for a few seconds and looked me the eyes in a caring way. So sweet if him to take the time to do that

I had to watch it more than once b4 I realized Billie Joe was there as well. I think he's the only major rock star I've seen who doesn't swagger through airports wearing sunglasses indoors. Good on him!

[@zanderbear2487]

He knows that he’s a down to earth person but if someone’s bothering him I’d expect him to say so

[@slashtitan1035]

He’s probably exhausted. This was during the RevRad Tour and they had already been touring for over a year at this point. You can see he looked out of it.

[@joesr31]

He looks like a high school kid following his parents lol

[@thexplsn]

joesr31 your so right haha

[@rddsknk89]

You know if I came across them somewhere, I might take a video or a picture, maybe ask for a picture if they don't seem busy (they seem kinda busy here) and then I would go my way. Well, I might watch them from a distance but I wouldn't try and hold a camera in their face.

I mean I would do this too. People deserve privacy. You can’t just stick a camera in their face like they’re some type of an animal. Yeah next time think about it when you get offended by a celebrity for bothering them. Celebrities are people, not a tourist attraction.

If you're going to try to be a badass saying that "wrong guy to play with" shit, be prepared to prove it. Dude said "you don't wanna play with me" Mike kept playin with him and the coward did nothing but continue to talk shit.

[@BallydowseRambler]

He was trying to get hit. Paparazzi antagonize on purpose cause if they get a rise or cause a famous person to act in rage, it's a big pay day for them cause they can sell the footage.

[@chanchaniceman]
