Rock Legend Shares Bold Message About L.A. Protests
Rock Legend Shares Bold Message About L.A. Protests originally appeared on Parade. Protests broke out in Los Angeles, California in response to a number of raids conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's support lies with the protestors. The 53-year-old rock star shared a snippet of the L.A. protests on Instagram along with a caption featuring the middle finger and ice cube emojis on Sunday, June 8. The post also included a live recording of 'F**k Off' — a track off Saviors (Édition de Luxe), the deluxe version of Green Day's 2024 album Saviors, which was released in May 2025. Armstrong's post had the comment section disabled on Instagram, but some fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their thoughts. 'Such a shame Billie Joe Armstrong decided he was a politician instead of a musician. I respected him way more when he just shut up and played the hits,' wrote one user. A second user noted, 'I love Green Day. I love you, Bill.' A third user played off the lyrics from 'Basket Case' — one of Armstrong's biggest hits — and wrote, 'Do you have the time to listen to him whine?' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 The punk rocker's post comes after protestors peacefully gathered in the streets of L.A. on Friday, June 6 in response to the ICE raids that took place at several businesses in the area. The National Guard was reportedly deployed to the streets of L.A. on Sunday, June 8 following orders from President Trump's administration. Armstrong has previously been vocal about his political views and often integrates them into his music with Green Day. The band's 2004 album American Idiot is widely regarded as an anti-George W. Bush album, inspired by events such as 9/11 and the Iraq War, which took place during Bush's presidency. Rock Legend Shares Bold Message About L.A.

Artists are speaking out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and offering support to protestors in Los Angeles after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to the city over the weekend. Among those taking to social media on Sunday (June 8) voicing their frustrations were Tyler, The Creator, Finneas, The Game, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Kehlani, Tom Morello, Reneé Rapp and Rebecca Black. More from Billboard Kylie Minogue Joins Prestigious '21 Club' at London's O2 Arena Kevin Parker Previews New Tame Impala Music During Barcelona DJ Set 'Maybe Happy Ending,' 'Sunset Blvd.' Win Key 2025 Tony Awards: Full Winners List 'F–K ICE,' Tyler wrote to his Instagram Story accompanied by a scene from 2002's Paid in Full in which the phrase is repeated multiple times. Billie Joe Armstrong posted a scene from one of the L.A. protests to his Instagram over the weekend, which he captioned with a middle finger emoji and an ice cube emoji. He used 'F— Off' from Green Day's latest album Saviors (Édition de Luxe) to soundtrack the clip. Kehlani, who has never been shy to speak out about various political issues, wrote, 'And long live the resistance. Every single one of them.' The singer's IG Story message was attached to another social media post that read, 'Stop calling what's happening as L.A. RIOTS. It's RESISTANCE.' Rapp added a post to her IG Story condemning ICE's actions following an uptick in deportation raids. 'F—k ICE f—k this administration f—k all of yall who are complicit in ensuring that this happened this is a f—ing disgrace,' she wrote. Black chimed in with an Instagram Story repost backing the protestors and blasting ICE's actions. 'I [heart] LA F—K ICE. F—K ALL OF YOU GI JOE LOSERS IF YOU ARE INTO THIS FASCIST S—T YOU ARE SMALL AND WEAK AND WILL LOSE,' the message reads.

They're inciting this,' he wrote to his IG Story. Finneas also reposted a clip that appeared to show 9News reporter Lauren Tomasi being shot in the leg with a rubber bullet by law enforcement while she was reporting from the scene. West Coast rap veteran The Game stood in solidarity with the protestors in his post on Instagram. 'Ever since I could remember … it's been black & brown in this city,' the Compton rapper wrote. 'From the early days of my childhood til now, we've been side by side through it all. All of us. All the time. Not always seeing eye to eye but we've shared Los Angeles for a very long time. I stand with y'all like I know you'd stand with us.' Former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello also hit the streets to stand with those in L.A. against ICE over the weekend.

According to the Associated Press, police declared the protest to be an 'unlawful assembly,' and most of the crowd was dispersed by the evening.

Green Day's Album Jumps More Than 2,000% In Sales
Green Day's Saviors reenters the Billboard charts as the deluxe edition sparks a 2,150% sales surge ... More while 'One-Eyed Bastard' rises to new radio highs. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 26: Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day performs On ABC's "Good Morning America" at Rumsey Playfield, Central Park on July 26, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by) It's not unusual for major musical stars these days to release deluxe editions of their new albums fairly quickly after the standard versions arrive. Sometimes they wait months. In other instances, it's just weeks. It's even become common for big-name acts to try to boost their first-week opening numbers by adding additional tracks just days after dropping a release. Green Day bucked this rapidly escalating trend by making fans wait almost a year and a half between the release of Saviors and its newly-expanded deluxe edition. That strategy helps the band's full-length — its fourteenth overall — become a bestseller again and experience a huge surge in pure purchases. In the past tracking week in America, Luminate reports that Saviors sold 4,800 copies. Just days before, when fans were still anticipating the deluxe edition, it only managed to sell a little more than 200 CDs, cassettes, vinyl LPs, and digital downloads. From one frame to the next in the U.S. alone, Green Day's project saw its sales jump by just under 2,150%. That spike in renewed interest in Saviors brings the title back to a pair of Billboard rankings. The project reenters the Vinyl Albums tally at No. 8. It can also be found on the Top Album Sales chart, which isn't specific to any one genre or format, at No. 11. Saviors has already reached No. 1 on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums rankings. It has spent just six frames on the former and only four — just about a month — on the latter. Green Day's project was an immediate winner when it dropped in January 2024, and the group has been promoting it fairly steadily since. The original edition produced five singles, and two other promotional cuts have been shared from there, which are now powering the deluxe take. While fans may be primarily excited about the recently unveiled tracks on the deluxe edition of Saviors, such as 'Smash It Like Belushi' and 'Ballyhoo,' it's 'One-Eyed Bastard' from the standard tracklist that is gaining momentum at the moment. That cut pushes north on two of the three Billboard tallies on which it appears, reaching new peaks on both the Rock & Alternative Airplay and Alternative Airplay rankings, while it holds at its No. 17 high point on the Mainstream Rock Airplay roster.
