Green Day banned from Las Vegas radio stations after Billie Joe Armstrong calls the city “a shithole”

1. Makes sense. Isn’t Vegas where Billie Joe had his infamous on-stage meltdown in 2012 and had to go to rehab afterwards?

2. Sounds like something a shithole radio station from a shithole town would do.

3. It’s because of his Oakland A’s.

4. Radio stations still exist?

5. People still listen to radio stations lol.

6. Let’s be honest, he’s not wrong.

7. They’ll be fine

8. Welcome To Paradise… , Nevada radio stations, then.

9. Went a couple years back. He is not wrong, that place should be nuked from orbit

10. Vegas is a shithole lol he ain’t wrong

11. Well, he’s not wrong…

12. It’s not like he urinated on a Las Vegas landmark…

    Did he?

13. Really misguided Vegas doesn’t want the A’s either, should’ve called the owner a shithole. Not biggest Green Day fan but will happily send them an A’ss hat to support anyone who is mad at the A’s.

14. The San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama called the city the most dystopian place on Earth. Can he still come play in Las Vegas when they inevitably get an expansion team or steal a more deserving cities team? Las Vegas pro sports are a joke. You look in the stands and you don’t see the colors of either team just a bunch of random colors because the people in the stands are largely tourists, not fans.

15. Non american here. How far down is vegas in the shithole list?

16. all 12 people still listening to terrestrial radio will surely miss out

17. Is Vegas paying for that stadium? I heard they were but now they won’t.

18. He’s correct though

19. A shithole covered in gold flakes and body glitter is still a shithole.

20. “And I’m reaping the benefits!” – Mark Hoppus I guess

21. wait.. does Vegas not know it’s a shit hole? Taking Billy’s honesty as disrespect and having no sense of humor about yourself is also kind of a shit hole move.

22. So that’ll affect 43 people that still listen to radio and don’t stream?

23. Excluding music over this kind nonsense is indicative of some kind of inferiority complex. Does anyone think this kind of censorship would happen in New York or LA? Hell, when “[Pizza Rat](https://media1.tenor.com/m/iVHe9N7JksoAAAAd/rat-pizza.gif)” showed up on the scene New Yorkers were like “Wheeee lookater go!!”

24. Isn’t he supposed to be sleeping until tomorrow.

25. Not a fan of Billie. He not wrong tho

26. I live here and it is a shithole. Literally cannot wait until I can afford to move anyplace else.

    It’s like this place was hand designed for sexual assault and substance abuse disorders. I don’t blame Billie Joe at all for saying the truth.

27. Even if you like Vegas, you can’t argue with this statement.

28. A city banning a whole bands music for talking bad about them is literally pathetic

29. Vegas is a shithole, am I banned too now?

30. Something tells me Las Vegas is an insignificant radio market… Also that they will all be playing Green Day songs again before the end of the year.

    Also, fuck Las Vegas. Chintzy transient “city” / amusement park. Let’s see what kind of local fan base the A’s will build there.

31. Shit hole city practicing shit hole behavior.

32. Vegas is a shithole.
