Green Day is mentioned by Alice Cooper in this NME article: http://www.nme.com/news/alice-cooper/71420 "Mumford And Sons are great at what they do. But it's not rock 'n' roll. Don't call it rock 'n' roll. It's an offence to rock 'n' roll." [...] "Finally, I just went 'Okay – you guys don't want to be rock bands, great. That's better for us'. There's more for Foo Fighters, there's more for Green Day, more for the bands that really are rock bands. I don't understand why everybody is so afraid to be in a rock band." ---------------- Reminds me a lot of an old interview where he said: "I go to see bands, and in our era, you had to be a great band, you had to write great songs, and you had to do a great, great show. That does not exist anymore. The old pros do it. And the Foo Fighters do it. And Green Day does it. And that's about it. There's nobody else out there."

Can I please post this here? *__* DAT ARMS *faints*

Thank you! I made this one too!

I think Billie employs a fluffer If you don't know what that is, look it up (Carefully)

Couldn't help myself! He looks like a kitten or puppy at an animal shelter! (all credit to me if you use it, please)

Just jumping in to say that all guitarists get that. Not a wonder. I just fail to see that kind of stuff in him. He's just cute like a combo of a small sheep dog, a fight rooster and an Ewok, I guess. It's the charm of a cartoon character, right there. Laly, get a load of this:

Yes please! Omg this is so perfect, i love it!

I got nothing to do, so i just made this And i found this on Facebook hahaha

Broadway Idiot mentions dvd release We've started pulling together bonus materials to go with the documentary when it's released (no date confirmed yet). Going back through the project I came across this 36-way split I built to edit the 21 Guns sequence. It took a while to find the best angles!

No. I believe that he does it himself.

WHAHAHA I bet he does

Alice Cooper is awesome and I'm glad to see he can give cred to other awesome bands.

Jeff Matika ‏@jeffmatika 1h Back in the USA. Feels good to be home. Thanks for a great tour!! #99RevolutionsTour Jeff Matika ‏@jeffmatika 3m Calm down. Not true. “@AwesomeAsNathan: @RhiannonYknow @jeffmatika yeah but the 'Thanks for a great tour' suggests he's finished it..” Jeff Matika ‏@jeffmatika 1m How can a simple thank you cause so many over reactions? Actually, his tweet gave me hope!

They look mad in 2011, apart from Tré. Wondering if they had a stylist who convinced them to go with that...uh...style?! Mike looks like a drag queen, Billie looks electrocuted. O_O

All jokes aside (WHAT?) I do think he does everything in his power to guarantee that he's aroused during shows. I think he likes it (either for himself or to impress others )

Awesome♥ Do you know from what video is this? please

I think we should all vote in that poll in favor of Billie & the boys But I don't know what half of the answers mean Can someone please translate the poll answers to English and put them in a spoiler thank you so much!

Ahah I answered that poll like this: What were your feelings about this fact? - indignation - indifference - joy/happiness The reactions regarding that swearword are... -justifiable -exaggerated Do you usually swear? -never -sometimes - a lot

That man makes me laugh

yep! this situation is becoming ridiculous IMO http://www.liberatv.ch/articolo/14696/billie-joe-bestemmia-sul-palco-locarno-don-andreatta-sono-sconcertato-e-addolorato here's the article Ilaria talked about, it's an intervew to the priest about this situation, he said Billie and the band should be informed about the gravity of the thing,and see how they'll react..if they apologize or not... this whole situation makes me laugh I don't know why. they even started a poll so people could express their opinion about it D: here's the poll http://www.tio.ch/News/Ticino/744899/Nessuna-rockstar-e-autorizzata-a-bestemmiare-in-un-concerto/

Oh my god. I get so mad at people when they think American Idiot was their first album.

A little bit of Mike's stomach...

Again, not a meme, but omg i can't stop laughing!!

There you go Sorry, is the only one i could find

I went to an Influents show in early 00s at a super tiny venue in Los Angeles. It was very intimate, there couldn't have been more than 30 people there. This was around the time Some Of The Young came out, I got to meet Jason White, and the other members of The Influents, all of which were incredibly nice and funny. I was a huge fan of the Influents, so I was really happy to get to chat with them in such a intimate and small place, where no one else was even trying to talk to them. Then, later at that same show, Tre and Billie showed up, after about 20 minutes I walked up to Tre and shook his hand and spoke to him for a minute or two and he was really sweet and not nearly as zaney or wild as he always seems. That night he seemed just super mellow and polite, he was wearing a leather jacket and looked incredibly buff. When I saw Billie I totally froze, obviously cause like all of you I am an enormous fan, have been since Insomniac came out, and he is one of my favorite songwriters. I didn't have the courage to go up to him at first. Then after a minute or two he disappeared. I had no idea where he went, I just assumed he left and I had missed my opportunity. An hour or so later I was in the bathroom and when I walked out of the stall, there he was washing his hands. No one else was in this tiny dirty bathroom, so I just washed my hands next to him, and said something along the lines of "hey man i'm a really big fan, really love your band". He smiled and said thanks dude, or something really simple and polite. I said something else about how he was one of my favorite songwriters and that I just wanted to tell him that, I sounded like a complete tool, lol. but he was super nice and just politely and quietly said 'thanks so much, i really appreciate that' he dried his hands, shook my hand and said have a good night and left. I was CRAZY stoked. When The Influents finally went on to play, I stood with my friend watching them play their set, and at one point I looked over and Billie was standing by himself like a couple feet beside me, with a beer watching the band. It was just the icing on the cake, that I got to watch The Influents play, in a small intimate venue with like 30 people there, everyone just kind of standing really chil, with Billie Joe a couple feet away from me, all just enjoying the influents for the remainder of the night. No one talked to him, everyone just watched the band and enjyoed the music. It was kind of amazing, and I'm glad I got to experience it. sorry this was so long

Spoilered because it's big

true story

Wow. Almost two pages of this? Bravo, folks. BRAVO.

It's not the picture, it's the finger pointing to the boner in the background that makes this glorious.

holy crap, the guys face in the background is cracking me up! :lol:

It's kind of awesome and unexpected with Lena only because the hipster crowd is so obsessed with her and those are the pretentious snobs who usually frown upon Green Day.

well first he came out and said that his hands were tired from signing stuff all night so he wasnt going to sign and just talk to us. then he asked about the show and said he really liked the sound in the venue. then he started talking about how the trilogy is solid and they put so much work into the albums and what cuatro doesnt show is them going over the songs over and over and over. heres a really short video my cousin shot. she didnt want to be rude so she stopped and only filmed because everyone else was taking pictures and such. but yeah he ran and gave everyone at the gate high fives http://youtu.be/3i0Wc9MtXVI

I like this one! And by the way I'm laughing my ass off seing all these pix! Brilliant!

Omfg that 'When I derp around' one and this one will always be accurate :C

^I didn't make that one, but it's pretty funny! The rest are mine.

Sometimes I don't know where I come up with these.

I just love making these...

here's one of those Musically Oblivious 8th Grader memes i just made
