OAKLAND, Calif. – Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong says he was kicked off of a Southwest Airlines flight Thursday night for wearing his pants too low.

The Bay Area rock musician was traveling from Oakland to Burbank when the incident occurred. “Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the f**k? No joke!” Armstrong tweeted Thursday night.


“Basically, all the passengers were already seated, we were ready to go, they had already told us to start to turn our cellphones off,” she said.

Qiu said that Armstrong was approached by a flight attendant and told to pull his pants up. Armstrong initially dismissed the request, asking, “Don’t you have better things to do then worry about that?” When the flight attendant repeated the request and threatened to have Armstrong removed from the plane, Armstrong relied “I’m just trying to get to my f**king seat.”

  1. First thing why is this crapy story on here in the first place?
    Now my two cents on a crapy story, This guy probably does not have a clue where this type of dress got started, in Correctional Institutions where as those that bend over get the wiener.
    So I say let them stupid fools go on dressing like that for they are asking for it.

  2. Billy Joe Armstrong is a freemason Moloch worshiping little weed that will be uprooted and tossed in the furnace if he doesnt change his mind. You dont get to be Green Day,or Brittany Spears or the on going joke lady ga ga,with out getting in bed or being related to or both,to the Moloch worshipers who own and control the recording industry,along with every other industrial complex under the sun.If you think I am wrong about all these Moloch/Nephilim worshiping rat turds ,go research the freemason cult hand signals and symbology,it is everywhere ,but people are starting to see what the litteral hell is going on. While we all had our fads in the times of our youth,I could never understand whats so cool looking about wearing your trousers sagginging like they got a big old load in them? I mean it looks like they crapped there pants doesnt it? They are all freemason satantologists folks ,from Elvis to Michael Jackson,Frank Sinatra,all of them .At least Elvis and Frank had talent .

  3. I’m amazed at how many people on this site are freedom loving patriots who want to tell someone how to dress. Isn’t that a contradiction? Hypocrisy runs a little rampant through the posters on this site. This is what is dividing this patriot movement, everybody wants their freedom, but if something offends you, you are quick to shut that down and deny someone their freedom. Get off the offends me bandwagon and actually fight for America.

    • You really should not be that shocked, we are years past 1984. Double think and speak have been ingrained for so long it takes time to get people to reason.

      • Touche.

  4. Who the hell wants to look at this guys underware or the crack of his ass. He could have, should have pulled them up. This guy isn’t a kid, he’s in his 40s. Besides, Greeday sucked big time. Seems this artical belong at ET, not here.

    • Here is a thought don’t look at guy’s asses!

  5. Land of the free huh??

  6. This morons need to just pull their friggin pants up and purchase a belt or even a piece of rope will work!

    • You know that saying “those that live in glass houses”?

  7. We are talking about a system who uses you until they are done with you. Then they turn around and make you look guilty. They let you think you’ve risen to the top, until they they want a laugh, then they put back where they found you.
    It doesn’t matter who you are, how much money you make. If you aren’t a part of the elite club, you aren’t getting in….in the end. And, in the end, the elite club isn’t getting out. They just don’t know it yet.

  8. Ladies and Gentleman,
    Another case of PBS (Prison Bitch Syndrome) gone wrong..
    Nuff said…..

  9. In the photo he wears a belt and his pants are covering his ass. Now he has saggy pants on a plane? By the way, can’t he afford a private charter plane?

    • There are so many artists, like Kevin Smith and Joey Armstrong who still identify with their roots as Americans and use the same air travel as we all do. At least this is just my opinion.

  10. This Armstrong scum obviously does not understand a thing called sanitation. I do not want to sit in a seat where someones ass crack had just grinded into the seat. This Armstrong scum makes outragious excuses about “they just wanted to bump him from the flight”. Armstrong nobody wants to sit in a seat where you grinded your ass crack into it. This is why people have underwear and pants scum bag. I get so angered when these ass crack flashers refuse and ignore you when you tell them to pull up their pants. In my car, if you do not pull up your pants you will walk.

    • This is America. Here’s an idea, what if I wanted to boot you from a plane because i thought your clothes were dirty, even though they weren’t? Would you be pissed or would you accept what I am saying? Freedom is meant for everything, speech, press, religion, where you live, how you live and how you dress.

  11. Seem you wouldn’t be confronted with dress codes if you used common sense. Anyone with half a brain knows what is proper and what isn’t.

    Young people are determined to flaut social conventions in rebellion. Waste of time, IMO. If you really want to make a political statement, do it with commitment to bettering your community, not insulting their intelligence.

    Boys want to moon adults with dropped pants and girls want to shock the establishment with skirts so high they may as well take them off. Grow up! (And to adults who should know better…set the right example for young people.)

    • Young people? He’s probably older than you. He’s 39. Also, I’e never seen him wear baggy pants, not in concert, or in any of the photos online. He’s a rock star, they tend to wear tighter pants.

  12. SHUT UP! I LOVE GREEN DAY!

    • The suck. I mean sucked (pat tense)….when they were relevant.

  13. Saggy pants suck …

    A ” sucky ” statement …

    A ” faute de goût ” …

    Reason enough to kick him of the flight ?!? ( cussing included … )

    I doubt it , considering the whole Western world dresses like shit anyway …
    They all look like codebars … ( and the chicks dress too slutty … )

    P.S. It’s all relative …

    • “I doubt it , considering the whole Western world dresses like shit anyway …”

      ROLMFAO!!! HAAAHHAAHAA!!! Nice. Tell them if they don’t like it, then talk to the Fashion world that encourages people to dress that way. Or maybe the media and the global elite should stop trying to idolize people like Lady Gaga who wears next to nothing and then have them tell us that we can’t wear things like them or be like them in public. Talk about a contradiction. You tell us to do something and then you don’t want us to do something. I’m confused.

    • yeah you most likely enjoy the burqua look – blue probably is your favorite color! Faux pas or not fashion always is mutating through the decades — it beats the alternative. Outlaw the burquas.

  14. I don’t care who you are “Pull your f….. pants up”.

    • I think you missed the point of the argument, Michel602. Try again.

  15. “You CANNOT fight the New World Order with your trousers around your ankles”. This is an indisputable fact of life…

    So get some decorum, pull your f’in trousers up – we do not want to see your skid marks, nor your sweaty ring-piece.

    Didn’t these boys sing about not wanting to be (American) idiots?? Start with buying a belt.

  16. when i travel…….i always wear saggy pants………it allows the tsa (tits ass scrotum dept. ) to easily play with my balls…..sometimes you can get three agents in your pants at the same time!

    • LOL

  17. Soon you will have to have two outfits One to please TSA and one to please the airline.
    I think he when a little to TSA’ish. One wants to be raunchy, the other wants to be decent.

  18. is there a law that states pants worn at a certain level?
    I mean.. was SKIN showing? That is a law, ( i think) indecent exposure..

    • Right, but it’s AOK for miss humungous hooterville to flaunt her 44DD cleavage and nobody says shit. Double standard. If they are going to enforce it…do it across the board or not at all.

  19. There should be overall standards for decorum and dress. When pants are too low the crack of the buttocks might be exposed which, (although funny) is indecent.
    There is a point when too much is too much.

    Airlines have rules, if you don’t like them don’t fly.

    I wouldn’t want to sit in closed quarters next to a smelly fat sweaty guy with his pants down.
    Would you?

    • That’s rediculous. standards for dress? get real…

      there already are laws covering public indecency.

      Southwest Airlines has not publish any such rules, including a dress code. they are being sued for such as we speak.

      the guy in the pic doesn’t look fat or smelly, i’d be happy to sit next to him with his baggy pants. even though I think the style is silly, but then again many styles are.

    • Mr Crouton, take your shit elsewhere. People like you miss the whole point of the argument. He was kicked OFF the plane for wearing saggy pants. What’s next? Getting kicked off for wearing high heeled shoes?

    • is he fat? no. is he sweaty and smelly? doubt it. This is just a another way to try and control us. Honestly, I doubt he wore saggy pants. He’s Punk. They all wear tight jeans.

  20. good band.
    shame about the endless tyranny and insanity though… .

  21. He was wearing Diamond Gusset Jeans, oh and look at the picture…… he is holding an evil Gibson guitar. He’s a real terrorist!

    • lol, he’s probably high on the silver lungs machine too!

    • OMFG, the evil gibson company guitars uses terrorist wood …didn’t you know?
