He’s fired up tonight and for good reason

”1-2-3-4 we don’t want no fucking war!”

Oooh which song was that in?

also apparently someone was spraying water at his face all night from a water gun and that’s who he kicked off at

It was during Holiday when he shines the spotlight

The camera work is annoying it’s all over the place and too many fast cuts. It’s hard to focus on Billie’s performance the camera doesn’t stay on him for more than a few seconds at a time

Hoping someone captured the livestream.  Seems like quite a rushed set, what a shame!  

[Mollyluna]

I'm not sure but somehow Billie seemed slightly unhinged to me last night.🫤What do you think?

i mean, they got delayed due to thunderstorms, what more could you expect

Someone in the crowd clearly wound him up I think.  Stressful hanging around, all fired up to perform then a delay with all the doubts about that, then time constraints, no surprise if he wasn’t as relaxed as he’s been.

I don’t think that’s accurate, apart from being rushed and saying a few more anti war things (understandable) the only time he showed any actual frustration was during the jos incident which fair play to him if someone was spraying him with water in the face all night 

[oneeyedroll]

It was said that "Letterbomb" was on the setlist but unfortunately not performed. Do you think it was due to the person who sprayed him?

Maybe that, maybe due to time limit since the show start late

I was expressing sympathy for all concerned.  The crowd who must have wondered if they would get the show at all and the band who always want to give their best. 

[jakdokinori]

Billie handled that really well. Gave a stern warning and then straight back to it.

You don’t see that in the video anywhere. He’s quite a distance from the crowd I’m surprised security wouldn’t have shut that down right away. It’s hard to tell from the livestream what exactly happened.

I agree that he seemed a little tense throughout the show and I’m sure a combination of world events and a delayed start might have contributed (along with some asshole fan causing trouble). He was less silly and smiley, there were fewer little musical ad libs and Good Riddance sounded rushed like he wanted to get the hell out of there. One of those nights it happens.

No I know you don’t see it, but the page that posted that is huge and has eyes everywhere, so I can’t imagine there isn’t some truth to it at least

Some people on Reddit are speculating that he might have been drinking before the show. I really really hope this isn’t true, but what do you think?

People on Reddit are always speculating that anytime his behavior is less than perfect. I’d dismiss it.

Thank you! And I really didn’t want to start any stupid rumors. But reading that freaked me out a little…

[farley drexel hatcher]

Ugh I saw that too, and it’s literally just someone’s ~feeling based on nothing. They’re all human like the rest of us, god forbid he shows a bit of emotion now and then 

[Cris.]

I haven't watched the show yet, so I cannot comment on his behavior, but given the whole situation with it being postponed due to the storm, not knowing if it would happen or not, and being on that state of uncertainty for at least an hour, especially for a front man who has said many times he gets stage fright, I imagine is quite enough to put anyone in quite a state. So I wouldn't worry too much, as in all the previous shows he has seemed perfectly fine and quite enjoying himself.

 Yeah and he seemed to be enjoying himself at this one too from what I saw!  I saw nothing different to download save for what’s already been discussed. People, man 🙄

i know i probably shouldnt be saying this but

thank god there are people there who are downvoting those paranoid rumors

[CherryBombs&Gasoline]

I saw them live at Southside and watched yesterday’s livestream and there’s literally nothing that suggests that he was drunk. The difference between the two shows is that there was no thunderstorm and therefore no delay and no time restrictions at Southside. That’s all. They probably had a little less time and had to rush through some of the songs. It still looked like a good show to me. And him being angry?  That’s human. I’d also be mad if someone tried to distract me all the time.

[andyd498]

i wouldnt go as far as saying he seemed "unhinged" this show, but he was for sure moody. everyone has moody days. especially with whats going on in the world, delayed set, and getting shot at by water

trying to chalk it up to him going back to drinking is pretty ridiculous though

People on Reddit say lots of things lol. I don’t check in there much, but that particular community seems to have a fixation with thinking he’s drinking every time he has some kind of on-stage issue, with most of them going “hey man it’s fineeee if he wants to drink” and all that nonsense. One time they swore he was drinking last year because he was acting weird during a song and lo and behold, there’s a video from right after where he’s like “I was just choking on an Advil!” Lmao. 

I understand the worry 100% but it takes more for me to be concerned than one meh night where there were other things at play that caused tension. I imagine starting two hours later than scheduled is a big deal for a performer when they have specific rituals to get themselves ready for the show. I mean, I’m just a concertgoer and even I’ve been put in weird moods by rain delays. Having all that built up adrenaline delayed, and worries over whether the event will go on at all, messes with you a bit. I saw GD last year in Philly and Pittsburgh and enjoyed Philly a lot less because it was up in the air all day whether the show could happen because of a hurricane.
