Green Day performed at the NHL All-Star game today and were on brand, throwing a bunch of “fucks” into the NBC broadcast.
Imagine being the nerd at NHL for thinking Green Day won’t say F**K on live tv. pic.twitter.com/y86z7L8ZSu

Throughout their performance of “American Idiot,” Billie Joe Armstrong shouted “Get your fucking hands in the air!” and twice a “Let’s go fucking crazy.”
They also changed the “American Idiot” original lyric “Well maybe I’m the f****t America” to “fuckhead America.”
NBC seems to have bleeped Green Day during the original broadcast because the audio track with the swearing comes off a second audio track.
Green Day have the official NHL anthem song, “Fire, Ready, Aim”. I haven’t understood why Green Day and NHL have a partnership. Is there a big overlap between their fanbases?
They also have their new album Father of All Motherfuckers coming out February 7th.
Thankfully, we still have Green Day around to make things interesting.
