It’s the worst s–thole in America,” he added, as the audience cheered.John Fisher, 63, is the owner of the A’s.

It’s not us, Billie…it’s you. #vegas4ever.”The post featured a big red warning sign over Armstrong and his bandmates Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool’s faces.X 107.5 announced on their website, “Well, Sin City heard him loud and clear — and X107.5 is not having it,” the statement reads. “In response to Armstrong’s inflammatory comments, the station is banning all Green Day music, effective immediately.”“Considering he played a pop-up show at Fremont Country Club last year, we’re surprised at his comments.

The show was spectacular! But now, Armstrong has crossed a line with Las Vegas locals,” the statement added.Carlota, a host on the station, added in a further statement, “Maybe he should take a look at the city and the people involved in that transaction than talking SMACK about the city of Las Vegas And hey, I hate to say it and as much as the Raiders suck but when they were in Oakland, they were worth a billion or two.
