Green Day remove fan from stage after what he did when they asked him to play hugely popular song

Liam Gallagher found the whole thing rather hilarious

The lead singer of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, wasn't impressed with a fan who tried to ruin their final song at a concert in Luxembourg this week.

Playing at the Luxexpo Open Air venue on Monday, June 30, the Californian punk rockers kept their tradition alive by inviting a person from crowd to come and play guitar on the track 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)', but it quickly went south this time around.

In a video uploaded to social media, the lad in question flips the script by strumming the intro to another iconic tune.





As the fan started to play Oasis' 'Wonderwall', Armstrong said "Oh f**k me!" into the microphone before removing the guitar from the prankster's hands. "Nice try, nice try," he added as stage security removed the fan.


Keeping things professional Armstrong completed the song himself, but this didn't stop the 'Wonderwall' singer Liam Gallagher from having a giggle over the incident online.

Reacting to the clip, Gallagher admired the fan's music taste.

This comes after Oasis guitarist/singer Noel Gallagher joked how other bands should indulge in some Oasis covers on stage.

He told Rolling Stone in 2011: "I’ve always thought most bands should play Oasis songs, anyway. The Foo Fighters should definitely do a couple. Green Day could do even more than one or two. Radiohead? I mean, let’s face it. It’d be a better night out."

His band will head out on a massive reunion tour this summer, 16 years after their split.

Other songs played at the Green Day show include: 'When I Come Around', 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams', 'American Idiot', 'Basket Case', and a cover of 'Ziggy Stardust' by David Bowie.

Over the years, Armstrong has been known to inject political undertones into the band's performances by altering lyrics.

Back at April's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in their home state, he tweaked an 'American Idiot' line from 'I'm not a part of a redneck agenda' to 'I'm not part of the MAGA [Making America Great Again] agenda', referring to President Donald Trump's mantra.

Green Day's Coachella set also commented on the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict as changes were made to the lyrics of 'Jesus of Suburbia'.

Armstrong replaced the original line 'Runnin' away from pain when you've been victimised', when he sang: 'Runnin' away from pain like the kids from Palestine/Tales from another broken home.'

This was the same tune they previously changed to take aim at the US Vice President.

During a gig in Melbourne in March, Armstrong changed the lyrics from 'Am I r***ded or am I just overjoyed' to the damming: 'Am I r***ded or am I just JD Vance?'

In that same performance, the frontman had also said to the crowd: "Don’t you want politicians to shut the f**k up? Don’t you want Elon Musk to shut the f**k up? Don’t you want Donald Trump to shut the f**k up?”

And back in January, while performing in Musk’s birthplace of South Africa, the 'American Idiot' lyrics were once again manipulated to announce: 'I’m not part of the Elon agenda.'
