A Green Day fan has been booted off stage after trying to troll the band.
Forming in 1987, the American rock band’s line-up includes lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool.
They rose to fame with their debut album Dookie in 1994, later releasing hits like American Idiot, Wake Me Up When September Ends and Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Over the past 38 years Green Day have sold around 74 million records worldwide and have been nominated for 20 Grammy Awards.
Despite their success, someone at one of their recent concerts tried to poke fun at them – and it didn’t go down well.
On Monday night the band were playing at the Luxexpo in Luxembourg.
Like they usually do, they invited a fan from the crowd onto the stage to play guitar on the show closer Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life).
However, the person picked wasn’t too keen on actually taking part and started playing the wrong chords, with Billie Joe looking visibly confused.
‘You told me you could play this one!’ he said, attempting to remind the fan of the proper key, before the man instead started to strum the intro to Oasis’ Wonderwall.
Reacting immediately, Billie Joel was unimpressed, declaring: ‘Oh, f*** me.’
He then grabbed the guitar from the man and declared ‘nice try’ and ‘wrong song’, before the attention-seeker was ushered off the stage by a security guard.
Not willing to let the moment pass by the musician then played the song himself.
Many people slammed the man, saying he wasted a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’.
‘Why do people keep taking once in a lifetime opportunities from real Green Day fans,’ Yvonne commented on Instagram.
‘The crappy thing about this is he not only ruined his chance to play with an amazing band, but someone else lost out too. Such a shame,’ Kathy shared.
‘Dude had ONE shot to play with them, and he fumbles it like that? Bruh,’ Denny added.
However, Oasis star Liam Gallagher saw the funny side, posting on X the next day: ‘Best song of the night.’
In 2022 Liam’s brother and bandmate Noel also declared that he though other bands should emulate them.
‘I’ve always thought most bands should play Oasis songs, anyway. The Foo Fighters should definitely do a couple. Green Day could do even more than one or two. Radiohead? I mean, let’s face it. It’d be a better night out,’ he said.
In a few days’ time Oasis will make their-long awaited stage return – kicking off their reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday.
Last year Green Day also had a run-in with a fan during a gig.
While playing at Hurricane Festival in Germany, Billie Joe could pointed directly at a fan in the crowd and flipping them off.
Soon after he threw his microphone down and took off his guitar, pointing directly at the fan and mouthing words at them, looking incredibly annoyed.
Other attendees later explained that the fan in question has been repeatedly spraying the singer with a water gun while he was performing.
