I can't think of anything I want less. It has its place in history but I draw the line at the musical. It's totally outdated now, and personally I think there's a risk of this sullying the album's legacy. Especially if Billie is in the lead role.

OMG - Yes, please! Cropped the other guy out of it.

This is from the article about These Paper Bullets, quotes from the writer who is adapting to a screenplay...

Who can someone be able to resist to this cute smile???

some AI era from the vault DAYUUUMMMM he's so tiny ho as hell

Not really weird, but my little brother was pissed off that we were listening to Green Day "again" so he made me put the radio on and Green Day happened to be playing.

This. Walking Contradiction, Redundant, Stuck With Me. All had singles and/or music videos, none get enough setlist love, if any at all. What's really disappointing to me is that even in the small, intimate, secret shows, they rarely even bust out anything from Shenanigans. The lone exception to that being, what, Outsider?

I had no fricking clue what Billie is singing for about half the time. Mostly on older songs. And I still don't, to some extent. Really, "BANANAKENNAFUCKINGEVERYTHINGUP MYTEMPLEFLIESNANAAGUBNCMSNFOWENUP" - that's what Bab's Uvula Who sounds like to me. (BTW, I just learned that the correct lyrics are 'My temper flies.' Right now as I'm typing this. So it's not 'my temple flies', hmm...) I forgot most of the mondegreens (monde-Green Day...lame pun, sorry) I heard when I first listened to songs (had to dig my memory up) - well aside from the one I just mentioned) but one I do remember right now is that line in Extraordinary Girl: "...like a pig left in the rain."

that's a good point. Although it is a popular album, a lot of people don't appreciate songs on there like Emenius Sleepus, In The End, or Pulling Teeth.

Not only is the general population sick and tired of "emo, guyliner Billy Joe", it will seem like they're selling out "once again"

That one is one of the biggest victims of Disneyfied production on that album. The last chorus sounds like it's just been copied from the earlier ones and pitch shifted up a tone, rather than actually performed. It makes Billie's voice sound weird and squeaky.

Yes you are the only one.

Am I the only one who doesn't want this to become a thing? AI had its moment but I think it's beyond time to let it go. I think putting this movie out will just seem like they're coasting on the success of a decade old album.

one of my friends, Aska (pasalaska on here) went to the musical in torronto and posted this on Facebook afterwards. just thought i'd share on here if anyone was wondering anything. "In case any Green Day friends are interested, here's some things I learned at the musical tonight: Extraordinary Girl just doesn't work without the flying. Michael Mayer was apparently very upset it couldn't be included. The musical wants to go to Australia, but no one down there is interested in having it. The movie is gaining pace and is apparently 1-1.5 years away; the script is being properly worked on now. Tom Hanks is still involved. Billie is most likely going to play St Jimmy; his name on the credits being a big expected drawcard. Also, the new(ish) touring cast are great!"

I don't know. butt.

I love how the arrow points at this crotch perfect!

^ Gorgeous!

he looks gorgeous!

I'm pumped like a . . . like a really pumped up thing. Demolicous and now this and the musical and Billie in a movie.

It should be marijuana not lethal mold.

Well for one I cant tell genders from users name (I use gdc on mobile id have to literally to go to their profiles and then full site...)

I have a thing for 60's influenced music and pop and no love at all for punk.

Follow You Around is the direction Green Day need to go.

It was a great tour. I got to see them twice on that tour and both shows were entirely different but kicked the same amount of ass. It was great to see them busting out rare songs and Billie just seemed to be having so much fun, he was a completely different guy than American Idiot tour Billie. Even as recent as the Irving Plaza show they were being spontaneous as fuck and pulling out all kinds of old songs, you can't tell me that drugs and alcohol were the only reason behind all of it. Everything changed after iHeart and it sucks.

12 year old me would so pumped for this. Like others have said, I think it's just past it's prime for a movie. I'm still shocked that the musical did as good as it did to be completely honest, but I think it should just be left off at that. AI came out 10 years ago, to go back and make a movie now just seems silly. And Billie in a semi-leading role? I would be cringing the whole time in the theater

Foxies @ SXSW

Even B-list singles would be a breath of fresh air

I don't want this to happen either.

Just because you hate the trilogy doesn't mean there wasn't any good songs in there. And some of the songs are good. Being as the Trilogy is there newest project they should be playing about four or five more.

was just thinking - it'd be interesting to see how much effort he will put into playing St. Jimmy. because it's a character he created, he can pretty much act however he wanted to really. we've all seen his previous acting skills, so i'm looking forward to see the difference between those roles and this role.

I've got to agree with this, I only discovered Green Day on a lucky chance.

Billie Joe. Movie. St. Jimmy.

Don't know. Why it would be?

Why?

My thoughts exactly. LOL So can anybody remove watermarks? Please?

one of my friends went to the musical last night in torronto and posted this on facebook. i thought i'd share with anyone who was interested "In case any Green Day friends are interested, here's some things I learned at the musical tonight: Extraordinary Girl just doesn't work without the flying.

So, we got When It's Time for the musical, what if they throw in a new song for the movie?

Disagree wholeheartedly. Given what it did for their careers, they could stand to add one to the set. Whatsername would make a great encore.

They did. Billie would tell stories during the intro, it was a fun live song. I still say cutting American Eulogy was a mistake.

They're still undoubtedly fantastic musicians. You only have to see them live to see that. It's the songwriting which has kind of slipped.

Quite so. He also shares a first and last name with the first man to walk on the moon.

"But it's about midlife and...and themes...and deepness...and...and The Forgotten and...and...stuff!"

Yeah I don't see Mayer or Billie allowing this unless it's damn good. If we ever do see it, Billie's acting won't be the problem - he'll work his ass off. Unlike a lot of you, I'm excited for this.
