We've all seen the video of Billie kicking some guys ass in 1997 but what did the guy do to piss him off?

I herd he was pushing ppl around, hit a girl, or talked bad about Billie's wife...

If you somehow did not see it, this is the link.

billie can't control himself or the fan can't?

i mean billie's never violent like this, he must have had SOME kind of a good reason right?

Because he refused to give Billie oral before the show.

All I know is OUCH to the person who he managed to land on. Whether it was the right person or not, paaaaaaaaaaainful.

Apparently the guy wasn't a fan, but ended up going with his girlfriend so he could basically just yell out about how much the band sucked. Billie was drunk and lost his temper. Apparently though once he got in the crowd he didn't hit the guy, he missed and got the guy's girlfriend. So he spoke to her afterwards and apologised, gave her a kiss and tickets to the next night's show. I think this all came from the girl herself.

so that's basically it. Not very interesting.

MODS: you can close my other thread on this, i had posted it in the wrong section. so leave this open and you can close the other. no problem.

Was he really a fan? If those rumors are true I don't think this guy was a fan at all. The only people who know the facts about what really happened are the people who witnessed it and Green Day.

idk if it was a FAN i just wrote fan in the title meaning "a person in the crowd"

How you know that? The video clip didn't show us very clearly about what had happen after Billie jump into the crowd.

That's why I said "this came from the girl herself" meaning it was her own account of what happened. But really no one knows what happened and it's been over ten years ago, I don't see why it matters

No, it doesn't matter at all. I'm just curious.

im just wondering b/c billie doesn't seem like a violent person so this just seemed like very uncharacteristic of him.

Well, my guess is that he wasn't exactly sober, he was possibly having a bad day, aaand, i think his temper was worse then. :P

The guy was heckling the band, and Billie decided to teach him a lesson. endofstory.

Yea, that's what I've heard and is the story that I've gone with.

Your avatar is amazing. :lol:

Billie is not the violent type. He just got pissed. Simple.

The Billie Joe of 1997 and the Billie Joe of 2009 are two totally different people. Anyway, when I saw Green Day at the Roseland Ballroom in 1997 they actually stopped playing Geek Stink Breath to yell at somebody in the crowd.

That jump was awesome :woot:
