Green Day listed in "Top 10 Hard Rock Smackdowns" when Billie Joe drop-kicked a concert goer

By Tony /Oct. 2, 2011 / 36 Comments

Loudwire.com listed Billie Joe's infamous drop kick in to the crowd at number 9 in their "Top 10 Hard Rock Smackdowns" - it also features some other high profile acts that have got into a scuffle in the past, including Nirvana, Axl Rose and Black Flag.

This was from a show in Filmore, California in 1997 (thanks Peter) on the Nimrod Tour. If you haven't seen it before, it's well worth a watch!

Thanks to Whatsername1911 for posting this on the forum.
