Billie Joe Armstrong has been nominated as one of the 'contenders' to perform at the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremonies. At time of writing, he is in at number 100 as a contender. The current top 10 list includes acts such as One Direction, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.

First question, why is it just Billie Joe? The top ten list and contenders includes full bands such as Coldplay and Muse. I wonder what makes them think Billie Joe alone would be better than Green Day? Anyway, we all know that Green Day is greater than the sum of it's parts, so hopefully we can change this!

Vote for Billie Joe

While doing so, you can also leave a comment, which looks like a good opportunity to ask the very question, and for the powers that be (you and i) to change the nomination, so that the entire band represents at one of the original homes of punk rock, London Town!

Remember to use your social media powers too, through the likes of twitter and facebook, so that we can spread the word as far and wide as possible. It will give us and Green Day (we are one) the best possible chance of representing at what is gearing up to be a very special event, seen by the entire world.

Do you beliebe?

"Hey Ho, Let's Go!"

Thanks to Richard Proano for sending this news.

It bugs me it does not say Green Day. Voted.

Posted

I've read this on twitter earlier today and voted right away.

I think it's a bit weird that it's only Billie Joe and not Green Day but whatever it is, it would be pretty cool to see him / them perform there! Really curious to see what this will lead to ;)

Oh I would love to see him perform at 2012 London Olympics! Let's just hope he won't masturbate on stage there.

Posted

It would be awesome, but they'd probably try and get coldplay or muse or something, something more english, it being the London olympics and all... If they choose an english act, I vote Kasabian! Just saying...

Posted

I voted for Backstreet Boys, mainly because I just can't see a Busted reunion happening sadly.

Okey, Billie is great.. but GD are an Power TRIO.. yeah, We Want GD, in full!!

And.. we can't allow to win people like that in top10.. bleaaahhh

I think it says just Billie Joe because you can add your own suggestions to the list, and I'm guessing someone who are more into Billie than Green Day have made that suggestion. Which kind of just makes me want to add a new suggestion saying Green Day instead of voting for this one.

I would be glued to my TV if Billie Joe was performing.... only reason to watch opening ceremony!

Not true actually.... I learn geography too. :P

Posted

We could make a suggestion for Green Day and vote for it.

I think it's kind of late now, it would never have the time to win.

Posted

he has jumped to #58 now. damn! i'd very much want to see Billie Joe rocking the stage at 2012 Olympics!

Posted

if Billie makes it into the top 10 and is gonna perform there really, then I'll watch it, but if he doesn't perform there and we really get to see Justin Bieber and/or Tokio Hotel, then i really won't watch it, srsly, i don't wanna see them :dry: ...then that would be the first Olympics that i don't watch :lol:

I agree it's too late. I hope Billie makes it in the top 10.

There's probably more chance of it happening than GD/Armstrong turning up though. And it would be AMAZING.

Posted

Why only Billie Joe? :huh: Anyway, I voted.

:runaround:

Btw, Tony, you wrote Amrstrong in the thread title :D

:sherlock:

Let's just hope he won't masturbate on stage there.

maybe the olympic committee will decide to make masturbation an olympic discipline then.

:eyebrows:

:lol:

:lol: ...ok, better not :lol:

Only Billie? :( Hopefully he'd bring the rest of the band like he did for that Little Steven thing in NY :P
