the 'Greenday story'
found this interesting.. id heard about something about greenday being pissd of but heres the 'whole' story from bj.com q&a
Question: I heard a story where Bon Jovi and Greenday where both invited to some radio concert. Greenday wanted to close the show but being that Bon Jovi is the higher profile, the radio wouldn't let them. Greenday started to play Wanted as a mock but the crowd actually got into the song and took it serious. Greenday got ticked off. Any truth to that story? I hope so. asked by Dude on Tuesday, November 2, 2004 Answer: Bon Jovi and Green Day were both on the Z-100 Acoustic Christmas concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Bon Jovi opted to play in the middle of the show, not be the last act. Their reasoning was they were the only band on the bill who had already played the Garden (and sold it out) - they were cool to just play in the middle of the lineup. The bands were leaning towards alternative, it was the height of the grunge/pop-punk... Bon Jovi as supposed to be history...it was circa Cross Road. So, Bon Jovi take the stage and music starts playing...but where's Jon? He surprises the crowd by singing acapella from atop the soundboard at front of house in the middle of the floor, then heads to the stage. The band had a great performance, they had the crowd in the palm of their hands... huge reponse. Green Day was the closing act... and Bon Jovi was a tough act to follow. After Green Day's set, they supposedly walked off stage, yelled 'don't ever make me follow that band again' and trashed their dressing room (lit the carpet on fire.) How much is 100% true - we weren't there but that's the story. answered by BON JOVI INFO HQ on Wednesday, November 3 , 2004 12:01 PM  andi
