Billy Joe on the Sex Pistols | Green Day Tix
Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day talks to Rolling Stone about The Sex Pistols....
"When I first heard them, I was fourteen or fifteen and into a lot of heavy-metal and hard-rock music. I think I was at a girl's house."
That, and more, in Rolling Stone's second edition of the The 100 greatest artists of all time
Tickets go on sale Saturday for Green Day's September 1st performance at Giants Stadium in NJ. In addition to two confirmed California shows, more tour dates to be announced soon
Green Day Artwork Causes Quite A Stir.
Armstrong wanted Green Day to be like Tupac

Billie Joe was at the Bloc Party after-event last night at Pianos. Man, is he short. Or at least shorter than I thought. His publicist tried to scoop the bathroom line so he could use the john, but too many folks gave her the evil eye, so he waited in line like everyone else... he was very cool about it, tho. He got bum-rushed by the kids from the band Apollo Heights, and he was nice to them, even though they talked his ear off.

First of all, green day is not all that great of a band. Second, he calls himself a hardcore rocker and starts saying stuff about the Sex Pistols like how their a wimpy and lousy band? What the #$%@! Has he ever even listened to the crap his band has put on a C.D.? I admit green days older music from the album dookie is good. But their new stuff? Those guys are kind of getting involved with all this POP crap and forgetting about the original reason for PUNK that the Sex Pistols created.
Posted by Jedi_Rocker | April 26, 2005 4:09 PM
"The Sex Pistols are Punk, the rest are Punk Rock, big difference." Does that sound familiar to any one reading this.
Posted by Jedi_Rocker | April 26, 2005 4:26 PM
Billy, me and my friend think you and your band ROCK! If you come across any hate fan sites, watever you do, dont listen to them! they are just some dumb @$$ freaks!

Why the hell does billie joe think his band is better than the fucking sex pistols? The pistols, one of the most inspirational bands of the 70's an still are today! I must admit I do like green day's older stuff like kerplunk and a little dookie. yea, they're not bad. But now green day is just not the same as they used to be. God why didn't they just continue writing songs about being an outcast, getting high, and masturbating? But no, they had to go too far into the pop-opera shit, that to me just doesn't suit themm, at all. I would choose the sex pistols anyday over green day. They don't seem so punk to me now...more like a publicity joke, heh or somthin like that.
Posted by Orgasm addict | June 29, 2005 5:04 AM
Oh, and one more thing. They now are attracting the "total punk raWkers". "Oh I want to fuck billie joe!" "I hope hes tall down there!" Jesus christ you idiots, get a fucking hold of yourselves! He's a PERSON, not a sex toy, he's a human just like you and me. So, please for everyone's sake keep your stupid fantasies to yourselves, and your other obsessive-groupie friends. I know I would usually be perfectly fine with people stating their own opinions, but really. Do you think billie joe would like to read this? The guy is married with two kids!(like hes ever going to read this shit anyways)

Billy joe you are sooooooo F#@%in gorgeous, you are my inspiration.
I have two friendz lexi* and Leonie and they would have to be your no.1 fans(including me), when I was going through a really rough time in my life,they were incredible to me, and i wouldn't be here today if it weren't for them,they took my life into their hands and i will never be able to repay them enough,but i want to make a start,by them meeting you it would mean the world to them, more then words will ever mean to them, and it would proberly save lexi's* life , cause she has been through more then any kid could take,her life has been hell for a long time, she hed a family member commit suicide, I can not tell you most things as they are privet, but we rrreeeaaallyyy want to help her get her life back on track so she no's wat it feels like to live a normal life, she says the only thing she lives for is you and her friends
so i am begging you with all my heart, that next time your in Sydney or newcastle could you pllleazzzz come and visit us in taree, I no it would mean more then anything to her and leonie.love jen

haha first off its BILLIE. not billy. second i cant believe he has such ignorant fans like most of you.. damn grow up and learn to spell. third, he doesnt hate the sex pistols idiots.. this entire interview is about what an influence they were/and are, to him.
and stop with the bloody "omgz i want 2 see billie naked" its nothing special..hes just like every other guy, chest stomach and dick. wow.. O.o

Hey Billie, i'm Rick.
I have to say to you that you and your band got me into punk.
Let me know, have you ever met any of the sex pistols? I hope you come to the awsome city of Adelaide in South Australia,and when you do it would make me the happiest guy in the world if i could meet you and the guys.
P.S when you do come to Adelaide, could you give me a back stage pass.
Yours sincerely Rick, or as people call me, Sidney ( because i look so much like Sid Vicious).

p.s FUCK YOU!!!!!
Posted by Rick | February 23, 2007 8:28 PM
is this the worst message board on earth or what?!!! first of all, there are the teeny boppers (or people who are faking to be teeny boppers so that people will come to believe that green days' only fans are teen boppers)saying "omg i love billy joe!" .....SO DOES YO MUMMA so shutup, n then u get people saying that green day are crap because they aren't punk. well my friends if u have to hang a band just because they arent "punk" then u r indeed a moron.... it's people like u whom we need to blow of the face of this god awful planet of ours. stop labeling people. anyway... then u have all these people (talkin about u rick) who are hoping that mike, tre or billie may just come across and read all of these comments and personally come to your home town and hang out with you..........................sorry but you would have a better chance of getting a chicken to fly to pluto and back.... (aka...it aint gonna happen!)

BTW..
"I Fought the Law" is a Johnny Cash song that was covered by The Clash...sex pistols have nothing to do with that song.
idiots learn your history..

It's not a Johnny Cash song, idiotsallidiots - it's a Sonny Curtis song. Idiot by name, idiot by nature...
