Laura! Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yes, the Steve Jobs comment was harsh. I can also understand why some of you are offended, I wasn't happy about it last night at all. But I'm not going to let it continuously bug me. It's been said and there's no taking it back now, it's in the past. I'll call Fox News right away! I don't even want to know what Fox News would say.

Abbey. Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Fair enough. Though, not all of Billie's little speeches get their own thread and 30 fans discussing it. So let's say it's a big deal on GDC. gotcha. and i dont mean to take away anything from those people that found the comments bold. i do love the discussion its sparked!!!!

Maddy. Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Why are some people acting like Billie Joe would never ever say anything like that because god forbid he's got one fault. All people say stuff they don't mean, and he was just angry the crowd was lame-o. I'd get angry if that was my gig. What makes Billie Joe any different than another angry person? Nothing.

GDM Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 gotcha. and i dont mean to take away anything from those people that found the comments bold. i do love the discussion its sparked!!!! I am going to have to concur with this. Probably one of the better threads at the GDC for good, solid discussion of a topic without name calling (well, except being called hypocrites earlier) that's come about in a long time. WHICH MEANS WE SHOULD THANK BILLIE FOR SPARKING IT, lol... despite what each of might think about what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotsky Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'll make a deal. If Steve Jobs' next product has headphone jacks that don't break, we can wish a swift death for him instead. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsername343 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Also, I contest the claim that knowing someone who has died of cancer makes any reference to hoping some motherfucker gets cancer abhorrent. My grandma and my 13 year old cousin both died of cancer. Steve Jobs however is not one of my loved ones, he's Steve Jobs, a greedy motherfucker who owns a company of immense power abuse who bribed the medical establishment with extraordinary amounts of money to get a liver he didn't qualify for. OMG I'm a smoker and I'm offended, how could you Billie?!?!?!!?! 100000% agreed I'm so offended too And i see Billies point about steve job....yeah bla wishing death is wrong but damn i have and everyone else too at least once in their life I wonder why this thread is still open...

Ellenkc Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Nah, it was because of this specific show. I just read what someone who went to the show said, and you sort of get the picture: people barely knew the old songs, didn't enjoy it, took too many pictures/videos, if you add our favorite frontman's temper, you get an explosion of anger. I think that by American Idiot, Billie was very pissed off because people weren't enjoying the experience as much as they could, and maybe he had high expectations after the rest of the SA shows. He got angry and vented, and when you vent, you don't think things through, you don't filter, you just throw it out. I understand why he would get angry (seeing as they give everything and more at every single show), he's giving his all to the audience and they don't return it, it must've been frustrating. Not saying I approve the whole Steve Jobs thing, but I understand where he's coming from. And we're blowing it waaaaaay out of proportion. Ah right I wasn't sure which show the review was from. I understand the outburst, I'm not bothered by it at all really. As I said above I love to see rants like this. Yeah we really are I bet Billie Joe hasn't even thought about it since it happened. It does make an interesting thread do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
