Green Day's Woodstock performance is included in GigWise.com's list of "Most Disastrous Festival Shows"

By Jimmy /13 years ago / 0 Comments

[img=031412_mudstock.jpg]Over the years Green Day has had some pretty crazy shows that have ended up with riots, getting naked on stage, and members being arrested, but nothing can top Green Day's performance at Woodstock 94.

Green Day's performance at "Mudstock" came in at number two on GigWise.com's list of "Most Disastrous Festival Shows."

Woodstock 1994. The event is also known as 'Mudstock' as Green Day's frontman Billie Joe Armstrong started shoving mud into his mouth after the crowd chucked mud at them their performance of 'Paper Lanterns'.

Other bands that made the list include My Chemical Romance, Justin Timberlake, The Sex Pistols, amoung others that can be seen over on GigWise.com.

This list made me want to take a look back into Green Day's "police file" and see what other crazy events the band has been apart of, here are a few of my personal favorites: Green Day trashes Tower Records in NYC, Billie Joe "drop kicks" an audience member, Green Day gets kicked off Recovery TV after playing "The Grouch," and of course Mudstock 94.
