Overview

• In 1994, Perry Farrell opposed Green Day's inclusion in the Lollapalooza lineup, labeling them a 'boy band,' leading to a compromise where they performed half the tour.
• Billie Joe Armstrong described Farrell as a 'fucking asshole' for his actions, expressing deep disappointment given the band’s respect for him at the time.
• Green Day retaliated during their performances by dedicating the song ‘Chump’ to Farrell, a pointed response to his dismissal of the band.
• A brief handshake between Armstrong and Farrell at Woodstock '94 marked their only direct interaction, underscoring the lingering tension.
• The dispute and its broader implications for Green Day’s legacy are revisited in the newly released book, 'Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival.'
