50 Cent Booed Offstage At Reading

[snuffbox]

Reading is, after all, the only remaining music festival with good taste.

Clearly you only speak of the European festivals...which I have little knowledge of...

 

But here in the states, we have Coachella and Bonnaroo. Theyre pretty good...Roo has zero radio/media affiliation, and an incredible lineup each year.

Still, sounds like they at least handled themselves better than Fred Durst.

Then why didn't Green Day get booed off, too?

50 Cent was likely percieved as having a bit of an ego, as somebody who probably believes his own hype and deserves to be taken down a peg or two. Many fans there wouldn't have been too fond of mainstream rap anyway and 50 Cent can seem pretty dull compared to the smart crossover appeal of a character like Eminem. As for Green Day, they know how to play to a festival crowd and win them over quite well. Their goofy antics with audience participation and general air of good dumb fun is usually very effective at festivals.

 

Its easy enough to notice that most 'bottle victims' these days are acts who have became big in recent times rather than having been around for a long while.
