I saw Billy Joe induct Guns N' Roses into the RnR hall of fame and I threw up a little. Regardless of the fact that a teenie-pop-punk band inducting the baddest motherf*ckin' ROCK band of the 80s into the Hall of Fame is plain WRONG and should not be allowed...period...regardless of that, his speeches were soooo BAD that I wanted to smack him in the face. Honestly. If I were Izzy or Axl and they told me - we got Billy Joe Green Day to induct you into the Hall of Fame, I would have never come either!
As about the actual comments, I don't know when Green Day played with Bon Jovi, but unless it was Hull 2006, LIVE, Bon Jovi is still better than 80% of the bands out there. So he probably simply dislikes them and used to occasion to express it.
On a slightly different note, Dave Grohl actually considers Bon Jovi and AC/DC to be two of the best live bands in the world...and I think I read that in the Financial Times or somewhere odd like that
