Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum has criticized Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong after his foul-mouthed tirade earlier this week.Sorum, who was also the sticksman for Guns N' Roses for seven years until he was fired in 1997, said that Armstrong's initial rant – which took place during the band's performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival – had been "punk rock", but insisted the frontman had ruined it by apologising for his actions.
Speaking on Twitter, he said:
Armstrong checked himself into a clinic for substance abuse treatment on Sunday (September 23) two days after his onstage meltdown, with Claudia Suarez Wright - the ex-wife of Green Day drummer Tre Cool - subsequently claiming that Armstrong had been sober for a year, but started drinking again on the day of the show.
She said: "When he was in Vegas he was drinking a lot. The night of the show he had been drinking. In Las Vegas there's a lot of temptation to drink and it's tough to be around when you're fighting against it. They have a new album coming out and it's a demanding lifestyle. It's very difficult."
Armstrong hit the headlines when, after becoming angry during the Las Vegas gig due to his belief that the band only had one minute of their slot remaining, yelled: "Oh fuck this shit. I'm gonna play a fucking new song. Fuck this shit. Give me a fucking break. One minute left. You're gonna give me one fucking minute?"
He went on to say: "Let me tell you something, I've been around since 19-fucking-88. And you're gonna give me one fucking minute? You've gotta be fucking kidding me! You’re fucking kidding me. What the fuck! I'm not fucking Justin Bieber, you motherfuckers."
Armstrong concluded his outburst by smashing his guitar on the stage and aiming a parting shot at the audience, stating: "One minute. God fucking love you all. We'll be back."
