Not Justin Bieber

Smashing guitars
“I’m not f—ing Justin Bieber, you motherf—ers,” he says in the video above. “You’ve gotta be f—ing joking. This is a f—ing joke. I got one minute — one minute left. Oh, now I got nothing left.”
Armstrong ends his tirade by smashing his guitar and promising to the audience that the band will be back.
No Bon Jovi Please – He Prefers The Hives
Bieber isn’t the only musician to come into Armstrong’s and Green Day’s crosshairs lately. Armstrong said Bon Jovi was the worst band they’ve ever played with, but he praised The Hives.
“The best is probably The Hives. They’re a great live band,” Armstrong told Kerrang!“The worst? Oh boy, I have to go with Bon Jovi!”
Hospitalized
In early September Armstrong entered the hospital for a throat-related ailment, but was soon discharged.
