During the first concert of the Australian tour, in Melbourne, the Green Days changed a passage of the text of Jesus of Suburbia. Was “am i retarded or am i just overjoyed?”, Did it become “am i retarded or am i just jd vance?”, More or less “are they an idiot or are they jd vance?”.
During the show, the band played in full American Idiot And Billie Joe Armstrong also targeted Elon Musk and Donald Trump: «Wouldn't you like if the politicians close those fucking mouths? Don't you want Elon Musk to close that fucking mouth? Don't you want Donald Trump to shut up? ».
Always during Jesus of SubirbiaArmstrong changed the passage “We are Kids of War and Peace, from Anaheim to the Middle East” in “We are the Kids of War and Peace, from Ukraine to the Middle East”.
It is certainly not the first time that the Green Days change a passage of a live text. “I'm not part of a redneck agenda” of American Idiot It is becoming on an occasion “I'm not part of a Maga Agenda” and in another “I'm not a part of the Elon Agenda”, arousing in both cases the reaction of Musk, who accused them of having regretted and sold to the system.
“The song is 20 years ago and we are the green days. What did you expect?” He said to Rolling Stone Mike Dirnt. And again: “I can't say anything else about that matter except that Musk is not one who pulls back when it comes to writing bullshit on the internet”.
