I'm just kinda puzzled as far as the whole rehab thing goes. I'm not trying to say that he has no problems, I just never heard anything about him with drugs. (Accept for the band name lol). I was pretty shocked when I heard that he went to rehab.

It always sort of surprised me how much people turned on Green Day because of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. I didn't get it. I still don't. I have friends who were HUGE Green Day fans and now genuinely consider them to be nothing more than steaming hot garbage because they wrote American Idiot. It makes no sense to me. Musically, I think American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown is the best music of their career. I get that it wasn't "punk", but for people who claimed to be huge fans of the band, there should have still been some seriously credible material on both of those records. To me, the storytelling on both albums is off the charts. I hold those records in very high regard. As for this situation, it seems to be getting even muddier. It'll be interesting to see how this effects the new records, if at all. I've been a bit nervous about Uno! for a while now. they write music for 13 year olds. it's the same digression blink 182 had in an attempt to stay relevant. i still love their early crap, but their newer stuff is all over produced glam garbage.

Now to be honest I loved watching him flip out like that. In fact, its the best thing Green Day has done since the 90s. They're music used to be so fn good. Like ridiculously awesome. I've never seen a band have such a huge difference in their music betweek Dookie and American Idiot. Its like they became a complete new band, a crapty one at that. It shocks me to heae that he was having abuse problems and had to go to rehab for them though. As I was almost certain Armstrong was as sober as they come these days. At least judging by his music. Like I can't watch the Smackdown opening because I cannot stand that song they play. (Same with raw now too, wtf is that crap) and their new song on the radio litterally sounds like its straigh out of a disney channel movie.

I've been a fan of Green Day since I was 9 or 10. In my very biased eyes, as the first punk band I ever got into, they can do no wrong.

It is unfortunate that he is going through some issues.
Hopefully he can get his life back on track.

I think Green Day is horrid and I can't stand them or Usher, but I did find this moron's bitch fit somewhat entertaining. I always get a kick out of idiot celebrities making fools out of themselves.

I can't believe some of the comments in this thread criticizing the guy's use of profanity during his rant and calling him immature for it. If you take into consideration the fact that he was on stage in front of knows how many people and most likely had a lot of adrenaline running through him after performing it's no wonder he flipped out the way he did. I'de much rather see a natural and passionate outburst from a performer than some contrived and witty B.S just to make themselves look intelligent in the eyes of shallow people.
