Green Day marked the departure of the Kaiser Chiefs from their on going US tour by playing a course of pranks on the British rockers including hiring a brass band to attack the stage during their set.
The 'American Idiot' hitmakers are the moment midway through a massive global hike and they were joined by the Kaiser Chiefs, who opened for them at a string of dates on the other side the US.
The bands played their last performance together on Saturday in New Orleans, Louisiana but the rock trio didn't let their stagemates escape their habit of playing jokes on their support acts.
Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson explains: "Every time when they have support bands, the final night they description of prank the band. We got off actually lightly I think. If you look at YouTube, there's some support bands that have had bad things happen to them, but (Green Day) arranged a Louisiana/New Orleans old time brass band and they got them into the arena.
"When we started (hit track) I Predict a Riot, this band came on and then Green Day came on, and they were playing cowbells. It was a surpriced. I just amazement whether the people of New Orleans think that's our regular type of performance."
And Hodgson accept that wasn't the only performances they were subjected to - their rock pals also covered all their instruments in toilet roll.
He adds, "Toilet Paper. They T.P.'d (toilet paper-ed) us. (They covered our) drums, instruments. It was live on stage."
