Brad Pitt Takes His Older Sons To The Green Day Concert
Brad Pitt took sons Maddox and Pax to the Green Day Concert in New Orleans. Things were so laid back Brad even chatted with other concertgoers who were sitting nearby. One of them talked to Life and Style about his Brad Pitt encounter.
"Brad was so nice. He chatted with those of us who were sitting
close to him and his sons before the show started. He'd gotten the
boys, Maddox and Pax, some pictures
and things of the band, and they were very excited. He mentioned that
this was a birthday gift for Maddox, that he was a huge Green Day fan.""Both boys had [hearing-protective] headphones but kept pulling them
off, and Brad would tap them on the head, and they'd slide them back
on," Charlie says. At one point, Charlie adds, Maddox took his off and
hung them around his shoulders and Brad tapped him and mouthed "Your
mother will kill me," and Mad laughed at him and put them back on."
LOL! Maddox and Pax sound like typical kids and Brad sounds like a typical dad :) What a great birthday gift for Maddox.

Sorry, but a Green Day concert is not appropriate for small boys. Brad's an idiot.

i've been to many green day concerts and it's soo not a great place for kids. many people come drunk or high to them and they serve beer so people just get drunker. there's people smoking pot all over the place. there's always a mosh pit. a lot of green day songs have cussing in them or unappropriate themes for children. billy joe really lets loose in between the songs and it's all "f this. and f that. and f these people". i'm a huge green day fan so i'm not hating on them in any way, but there's no way i would voluntarily take two children under the age of 10 to one of their concerts.
Swear words are not evil, and I was at a Green Day concert on the 11th and absolutely no moshing occurs. What song do you think people would be able to mosh to? And even if there was moshing, the kids are not involved. Same with alcohol and weed. They might get second-hand high if for some reason quite a few people were smoking around them, but marijuana is not harmful to the body in any way except a small impact to the lungs (which is virtually null in second-hand).
Don't pretend you've gone to a concert you haven't just to express your disdain for problems you don't understand.

By the time these kids are teenagers, there will be nothing left for them to do or see and they will be so jaded.
The concert it was very long. Until very late in the night. The boys were very tired.
He uses his children to promotin for his film. A disgrace! Its a shame!
Where is the Youth Office?

You can not be serious!!!? It's a school night. How would you know how "tired" the kids were? This is a perfectly normal thing for kids to do, IMO.

i've been to a lot of rock concerts and RARELY do i see any small kids at them. i know many people with small kids and the LAST thing they'd do is take them to a rock concert. Little kids don't need to be at a loud concert with people smoking pot and drinking around them (and i have nothing against either). it's not age appropriate.

People smoke pot and drink walking right down the street. Just sayin'.

Meme, well I have been to my share of outdoor summer concerts and have seen lot of kids there with their parents and having a good, clean fun. You have your opinion, I have mine. Let's just agree to disagree.

I don't think a 6 or 8 year old need to hear some rocker yelling out to the audience SO HOW Y'ALL F*CKIN' DOIN' TONIGHT????

To be honest, I don't consider Green Day a band for adults. Most of the adults in my office take their children to Green Day concerts. What goes on in one of their particular concerts I can't say, because I've never attended one as I find their music...flaky...even childish.

That is what I had heard too...that Green Day concerts were almost like family affairs. Like you though, I have never been to one, but to each his own.
129415 points
Yeah, it really looked like he was promoting his film...and how the hell would you know how tired his "boys" were? LOL! You really have to pull your head out of your ass.

I agree with meme.
i do too. i have been to so many shows and rock festivals, and it is not a place for kids under 10. it smells like weed everywhere you go. people are drunk, high, etc. yes, green day has become slightly less vulgar in general over the years. but only SLIGHTLY. not appropriate.

That's a great story, actually. I like Brad. That's really awesome of him to do.

Whatever you say, darling. I don't recall my father EVER saying "your mother would kill me" about anything. He was able to be our father without mentioning my mom. Sorry, this screams "someone has my balls in a bag somewhere - and she's the one you answer to."

i don't recall my dad ever saying that either.

My dad used to say that all the time when he let us stay up a little past our bedtime, or treated us to ice cream an hour before dinner. It was his way of telling us not to let her know we were doing something she wouldn't approve of, being the main disciplinarian. My dad worked a lot of shift work and there were weeks when we only got to see him on weekends. My mom was left running the house and us five older kids, so she was the one making the rules we were to follow.

I'm not a big fan seeing kids at concerts. There is always someone smoking weed, etc., that I would not want to expose them to.
Brad a icon????
Joke!
He is a LIAR!!!
He is a poser!!!
He used the kids for promo!!!
...and what a interesting story! :-)

I see he's parading the adopted kids around again.

Clearly most people who are posting have never been to a concert. There is drinking and smoking at all genres of music. Country music is supposed be family friendly but there was more smoking and drinking at a Kenny Chesney concert than at a Katy Perry concert. Also 6 and 8 year olds are not toddlers they are kids. Toddlers are under 3 maybe 4 years. Also the fake concern is dumb. Brad could take them to see Sesame Street and the haters and Jenfans would find something to criticize.
Agree with Linda123: the guy cannot win! I think he is great dad. When you have so many kids it's better to spend as mucch as time with them as possible as long it's appropriate and it's no like he went to slipnot or marylin manson concert it's green day
That is so cute. They are lucky to have parents like Brad and Angie. We have seen Reece kids even with no ear protection in concerts, Gwenth and gwen kids also. It is different when it come to Brad and Angie kids nothing new.
Woo! hello!! we are not in 1960!!!!!!Brad is a really cool dad!!! Green day have alot young fans...like Simple Plan. THere is a lot child at their concert. , Those kids will remember that night all their lifes...their is nothing like the FIRST rock concert!

Eh, I too have been to Green Day concerts. Billy Joe pulled some kids on stage, showed them how to play guitar, had them sing, then gave away a guitar. I thought that was pretty cool. I think it's awesome that Brad took his kids. Rock on.
probably they were staying in the VIP section, I'm sure there are less weed-smokers :)
Not exactly a model dad if he takes his kids to Green Day, AND has them born in France. There's NOTHING healthy or sane about any of that. :(

He sounds like a cool dad and like your typical one for sure!
fff
I won't go to anymore Green Day concerts. They are too vulgar. Sorry but Billie Joe dropping the "F" bomb in every sentence he says doesn't make him a big man. In fact he got smaller by the end of the evening in my eyes.
Ha ha!! And he's already small to begin with!
you people are all fucking retards...im 10 years old and went to this fucking concert. so shut the fuck up and stop being everyones fucking mother and get a fucking life instead of worrying about what others do
