More about: Green Day

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has urged fans not to record gigs and upload them to the internet.

Armstorng was playing with his side project Pinhead Gunpowder in Los Angeles earlier this week when he told the audience to put their cameras away.

He said: "YouTube can't own everything. There's also something called memories."

The band’s gig at the Troubadour in West Hollywood on Monday (February 4) was their first since 2001.

Armstrong formed the group in 1991 but his rise to fame with Green Day meant he had to pu the project on the back burner.
