What Bands Have You Gotten Into Through Green Day?
Rumpelstiltskin2000 replied to Undómiel's topic in Green Day Chat
Mike no longer owns/runs Rudy's. He gave it up and the staff took it over. He has posted pics of himself popping in when he's in the area since -
I love thatt (especially the ring holder, hehe) I forgot this thread existed lolll. Well, everyone is probably like "STOP TALKING ABOUT UR NEW GUITAR" by now lol, cuz I have posted it now three times, haha. Anywayyyy here it is From other post: I bought a new Epiphone today. I was trying to branch out from the Gibson-brand guitars (since I already have a Maestro Les Paul), but the guitar was too perty to pass up hehe https://www.guitarcenter.com/Epiphone/Les-Paul-Special-Satin-E1-Electric-Guitar-Heritage-Cherry-Sunburst-1500000014896.gc

I would have passed out, woke up, and passed out again. Either that or I would be as red as a cherry lolll -

MillenniumFan replied to Undómiel's topic in Green Day Chat
oh tons of bands, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Network, The Longshot, The Coverups - oh no wait More seriously though, I'd say that although I had known of these artists previously, Green Day still helped get me more immersed in the likes of The Clash, Generation X, The Who, David Bowie and Tom Petty, mostly as a result of their live covers and talking about their influences in interviews. The Who in particular. It's always been my dad's favourite band and well, I guess the link to Green Day created some great bonding-through-music experiences He was particularly impressed with their A Quick One, While He's Away cover, as am I. The Who are a brilliant band. As my dad used to say, the quintessential rock band and I think I agree. It's hard to describe The Who as anything else other than a rock band, no further labels or qualifications needed. I think Billie must have got part of his flamboyant stage antics from them and Tre definitely seems to have taken inspiration from Keith Moon in some ways too. Though American Idiot (and 21CB) appear to be conceptually inspired by Tommy, which is a pivotal album no doubt, my personal favourite of theirs is Quadrophenia, which I think is a superb album. Truly a rock opera in every sense of the word. And the accompanying feature film is actually pretty decent too. -

I could never really get into Crimpshine. Might need to give it another try. -

The Clash was another one for me after Mike had that restaurant 'Rudy's Can't Fail' (does he still part own that?), and named his son Brixton. 😅 -

No bands in particular apart from Weezer. But I like to listen to the original version of whatever songs Billie covered with Green Day or other bands -

Very interesting question. Of course GD's unique new sound "89/'90s spawned many new bands, some becoming famous. But imho no comparison. Billie Joe's family was into music in various forms which influenced him. I'm always fascinated how songwriters and musicians, are influenced by songs prior to their birth. Billie Joe is no exception. So yes, Ramones, obviously. But also '60 British Bands, including The Who, and The Kinks, for example. -

Saviors (édition de luxe) - Out May 23rd !!
Dingle replied to GreenDayJunkie86's topic in Green Day Chat
https://greenday.fm/ Greenday.fm confirms release of Ballyhoo on May 2, stating as celebration of receiving their Walk of Fame star day before. -
Kind of what it says on the tin, but are there any bands or artists that you've gotten into or explored directly because of Green Day? Either they've mentioned them in an interview, collabed with them, mentioned them as an influence etc. etc. I'm always looking for more bands and artists to explore, so interested to see what people say. There are lots of my part but I'll start with a few: - Operation Ivy (fairly obvious, but through the cover and then exploring the original) - The Ramones - Rancid (Again, East Bay punk scene cited as influence). - Frank Turner (saw him support GD at Wembley Stadium in 2010 and he was awesome, been a fan ever since). - The Linda Lindas (watching them kill it last summer as support on the Saviors tour made me check out their stuff). There are many more, but those just to start!

I think Mike probably has worn eyeliner quite often as part of regular stage/photoshoot/event makeup, just usually in a subtle not meant to be noticed way. Probably just a bit more added as he's older in the same way they all have more of that type of makeup now alongside Billie and Tre's bolder statement eyeliner/eyeshadow. Maybe more noticeable on this good quality video.

I think you may be right. Just watched the download from @Yosuke Hanamura (thank you again) and I think there is a hint of eyeliner or maybe mascara about Mike! Well spotted, maybe for tv they all had to have. Also, you can’t see Billie’s moles on his cheek, so make up def there.

I can't get over Flavor Flav as the drunk bunny , just so perfect as the ultimate hype man! Also surprised to learn he's 66 years old
-
Couldn't agree more, I just watched it and the show was fire 🔥. Awesome to have a high quality full show to watch and see Billie in all his floofy glory!
-
Top flight fangirl material throughout the whole show! Great performance and great camera work by someone who knew what we needed…..lots and lots of lovely closeups of BJ. Not only the stare but we got hair floofing too. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

Love what Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer, said in a statement about Green Day Quote: "Green Day's music has not only inspired generations but also served as the soundtrack to our lives." ❤️
