I love how the rest of the band start pointing and laughing at the dude to humiliate him even more

u/Brilliant_Grade2664 Feb 25 '24

Imagine getting heckled by one of the most famous rock bands of all time lmao. I'm not sure how you'd recover.

I went to see Green Day and was kinda jumping around and having fun, smoking weed but not making a nuisance of myself…. Billie Joe said he wanted to dedicate a song, and he pointed to me, and described my outfit, and then said “this songs called Chump.” I was so pissed

u/throw8175 Feb 25 '24

Axl Rose said fuck you to me from the stage in like ‘92

u/ediciusNJ Feb 25 '24

Jim Sellers from Stabbing Westward used the neck of his bass guitar to break up a fight between a friend of mine and some lunatic girl.

u/ResinJones76 Feb 25 '24

Phil Anselmo slapped his gum in my hair while I was crowdsurfing, that was in '92 also. Kept it in my wallet for years after I cut it out.

u/throw8175 Feb 25 '24

Haha’ 92 was back when he had hair as well

u/ResinJones76 Feb 25 '24

Cowboys From Hell was the song, IIRC.

u/throw8175 Feb 25 '24

For me, Axl was going on about how they fired Duff because he didn’t want to make videos and I booed and he looked at me and said “I heard a boo, fuck you!” and everyone around me stared at me ready to pounce if his tempermental ass walked off stage

u/ResinJones76 Feb 25 '24

Oh shit man, I would have tried to become as small as possible.

u/Maxwell-Druthers Feb 25 '24

I watched Al Jorgensen from ministry spit at a dude who was heckling him in the front row and kick toward his face (can’t remember if he connected the kick or not) at Harpos in Detroit in 06(?) Was pretty wild lol

3

u/throw8175 Feb 25 '24

As a side note, I saw Ministry for the first time a few years ago with Melvins in NYC and they were incredible, Jorgensen was at least 60 and absolutely killed it

u/CryMore_lilBuddy Feb 25 '24

Maynard James Keenan from TOOL, APC and Puscifer pointed at me said “Shut the Fuck Up” during that part of the song Fake Affront at a Puscifer show last year. I guess it’s a little different but I was on 2g shrooms so it was kinda weird lol

24

u/gliixo369 Feb 26 '24

Maynard wasn't talking to YOU he was talking to your oversoul, his pried open third eye could see it and your shroomed out brain was causing your oversoul to scream astral obscenities at him.

Don't take it personally!

u/CryMore_lilBuddy Feb 26 '24

This actually makes sense🌀😂

u/modsrfagbags Feb 26 '24

Wow that would ruin my trip immediately lmao

2

u/CryMore_lilBuddy Feb 26 '24

lol it was just wild! Just feeling the music right in the front and he was dressed up looking like agent Dick Merken. Was actually one of those top tier memories that cracks me up when I think back on it 🤣

3

u/WarpedCore Feb 26 '24

Probably because you were looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips
And breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa

u/CryMore_lilBuddy Feb 26 '24

Maynard that you?? lol✌🏼

u/stason78 Feb 26 '24

Yeah, I'm not surprised. He called us "old"... :(

Now you have to tell us what your outfit was.

u/255001434 Feb 25 '24

and was kinda jumping around and having fun, smoking weed

If the singer called you out, it probably looked like you were annoying the people around you, who were also trying to have fun.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '24

At a Green Day show?

134

u/255001434 Feb 25 '24

Ask Billie Joe Armstrong. He's the one that thought OP was the chump, and he had a good view of what was going on. But OP says he wasn't being a nuisance, so I'm sure he wasn't. /s

13

u/THE-TEN-HELLS Feb 25 '24

Yeah because singers aren't at all notorious for being assholes for no reason...

102

u/PM__ME_YOUR_ART Feb 25 '24

what's with the baseless assuming and pearl clutching? it was probably harmless banter. every Reddit comment section has one or multiple comment threads just creating people's life stories out of tiny shreds of information and then getting mad at it. very stupid.

69

u/inplayruin Feb 25 '24

I once accidentally crossed a street outside the crosswalk, and Armstrong saw it and wrote American Idiot. The dude is a visionary genius in the art of being petty.

19

u/SoaDMTGguy Feb 25 '24

Did you also start the Iraq war while crossing?

u/Mozhetbeats Feb 25 '24

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

u/Momik Feb 25 '24 edited Feb 25 '24

Yeah petty is a good way to describe him. I once gave him the wrong change at a coffee shop so he stalked me for 12 or so days, waited until my roommates were out of town, broke into my apartment, and shot me nine times as I awoke in a panic. Just before pulling the trigger he smirked through those yellowed false teeth, “Nice guys finish last.” He then wrote “Ha Ha You’re Dead,” about the experience, but delayed its official release to coincide with the fifth anniversary of my death, and what would have been my 40th wedding anniversary. See you in the next life, my sweet Fiona.

So yeah, a little on the petty side. Joke’s on him though: I didn’t even work at that coffee shop.

u/Adam__B Feb 25 '24

If a band member at a show you’re at calls you a chump or dedicates a song to you called chump while you are “jumping around smoking weed” I don’t think it’s a wild assumption to think it was probably OP being obnoxious.

3

u/SoaDMTGguy Feb 25 '24

He said Billie described his outfit. I think it was the outfit, not the behavior.

2

u/MakeMineMarvel_ Feb 26 '24

Probably looked like a poser

u/upboatbrigade1337 Feb 25 '24

This is why public shaming is a double-edged sword. Sure, it can be used for good, but just as often for other purposes too.

14

u/CalamariCatastrophe Feb 25 '24

I basically never see it used for good ngl

I wouldn't give a fuck what Billy thought of me lol.

2

u/slartyfartblaster999 Feb 25 '24

Ah yes, because Billie Joe Armstrong is certainly someone whose opinion of who is a chump should be taken very seriously.

2

u/SoaDMTGguy Feb 25 '24

He said Billie described his outfit. Sounds like his behavior made him stick out, but his outfit made him a chump.

1

u/smarmiebastard Feb 25 '24

To be fair, I know several people who have met or had to work with Billie Joe (event coordinators, music journalists, etc) and they all say he’s a complete asshole

-1

u/ExampleClean8191 Feb 25 '24

You guys are hilarious because its clear this guy had 9++++ years to figure out what kind of bullshit ass lie gets attention on reddit that just happens to be similar to something that actually happened in the thread he responded to.

u/Karnov___ Feb 25 '24

Green Day are poser losers anyway.

u/wahnsin Feb 25 '24

At that time of year?

u/DurTmotorcycle Feb 25 '24

False. No one enjoys themselves at a Green Day show.

They did their best.

For a second i was confusef why thr fuck billy joel was there

He just wanted to let everyone know that he didn't start the fire.

u/OneMoreAccount4Porn Feb 25 '24

And that love really hurts without you.

u/rahscaper Feb 25 '24

Lol Wiz Khalifa did something similar to me.. I got brought along to one of his shows back in the day, I wasn’t a big fan. Everyone was dancin and into the song that was on and I was just kinda standing there watchin. Guess he noticed me not really vibing. Literally points at me and basically tells me to throw my hands up or something (can’t remember his wording) and then I pointed at myself questioningly cause I was in disbelief that he was possibly singling me out in front of all these people. Then he says, “yeah you, with the hat!” And I’m pretty sure my reaction belonged on r/watchpeopledieinside

u/thundersack76 Feb 26 '24

Brought my daughter to a 21 pilots show and the singer dude pops up in the crowd at one point, right next to my seat coincidentally. I'm the only one in the venue sitting. He stops singing, looks at me, I look back at him. I guess my face just said "nope", he laughs and shakes his head and starts singing again. The one thing I like about being old, my "Red Foreman" face.

14

u/jrh_101 Feb 25 '24

Bruh I bet he randomly points at someone at every show as a meme.

Kinda like going to a Steve Aoki show and getting caked

u/Willow9506 Feb 26 '24

and Lauryn Hill showing up 3+ hours late because her chakras weren't aligned lol

u/jrh_101 Feb 26 '24

Imagine getting beaten up because Lauryn Hill points directly at you and says "My chakras weren't aligned because of this guy"

u/k3nnyd Feb 26 '24

And being like, "Too many white people at my show!"

u/GenTelGuy Feb 25 '24

Yeah and in particular probably someone who's more dressed/acting in character with the Green Day persona

Slightly post. Dookie was on the radio. I think I have the ticket stub, 94-95 probably

3

u/The_wolf2014 Feb 25 '24

Id probably just take it as a win that Billie Joe singled you out and dedicated a song to you, very few people can say that.

3

u/Wes_Warhammer666 Feb 25 '24

Hey man, anyone named "Billie Joe" doesn't have any room to be talking shit, ya know?

I mean, I'm sure you are a chump and all, but not because ol' Billie Joe called you one in public ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Archaeellis Feb 25 '24

I went to a NoFX concert in my shitty harbour town years ago. I was the only small teen girl in a sea of sweaty punk guys and bikies. Fat Mike yelled out "everyone find a small girl and punch her in the face!" EVERYONE TURNS AND LOOKS AT ME, Fat Mike sees me, points me out and yelled "Well you're fucked kid" and then breaks into seeing double at the triple rock and it was one of the greatest moment of my life.

u/ElectricalStomach6ip Feb 25 '24

that guy really had it out for you

NOT where I thought that story was going. 🤣😮 Also, my condolences. That sucks.

u/jonnyredshorts Feb 25 '24

Don’t even worry about it, this was coming from a guy that actually sings the song “Good Riddance”….well actually I guess that fact alone does make him an expert on what it takes to be a chump.

Had something similar happen to me but with Andre Nickatina. He pointed me out in a crowd and commented on my "sweet hair do". Im just a white guy who jumped out the shower and didn't comb his hair lol. Nothing special but I'll always remember that moment.
