Yeah sure they were going to write with Billie. I was gonna write Billie myself a few months ago but I Didn't have enough days off left at work this year so we re scheduled for next year. Billie seemed very disappointed I wasn't available this year.

Sorry but Green Day isn't at all like the bands you just listed.

It is in New Jersey!

bitch is a term of endearment - if we lived close I would punch you in the arm

It took you this long to figure it out.

I wish I could do 100 likes - I like you.

True, they went too far in copying. It will be pretty interesting to see if the formula will work in long term for 5Soos and if it will work for Green Day themselves.

Missy Elliot, Trent Reznor, The Bee Gees, Curtis Mayfield, Katy Perry, Pink, Bruno Mars, just a small list of singers that have written songs for other artists. Try something better than Nickelback.

Honestly, I wouldn't really mind if he did. They're a mildly enjoyable pop(-punk) band. I kinda enjoy them when they're on the radio. Not that I'm happy that they started a surge of new, shitty pop-punk, but I don't mind if he wrote for them. 5SOS is one of few things he surely wouldn't fuck up, their songs are usually quality-wise on the same level as the Trilogy. What's embarrassing is, that it easily could have been his first successful song of this decade.

Billie's kid is friends or at least hangs out occasionally with members of that band so even if Billie did find them tedious he would probably write for them. Then again his music decisions regarding who he works with etc has been consistently shitty recently so why not Whst makes 5SOS version of the story unbelievable is the part where Billie was too busy with the Hall of Fame. The guy has essentially been retired for the past two years but a weekend in Cleveland ruined what could have been a masterpiece with a younger (obsessed) version of Green Day...tragic indeed.

So what would you have said a few years ago if someone said he was in talks with the Lonely Island to write a rap called "I Run NY" or an Everly Brothers tribute album with Norah Jones? Or collaborate with a rapper called Lady Cobra for a song called Nightlife?

5 Seconds of Summer is actually listed as one of the "influenced by Green Day" bands on their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit. They're probably the most embarrassing one, but still, I'm assuming they pre-approved a lot of what was included on it. Maybe? I don't know. (Edit: Wait, probably not, because it says Tré was the drummer for their first album, heh. ) Honestly, to me, it doesn't seem that farfetched at all for them to reach out. And even if BJ did decline and say they were "too busy," maybe he was just being polite. That doesn't mean he would've necessarily did it if he wasn't busy... it was just a good, timely excuse. Nothing wrong with that. I mean, he did write with Avicii recently, and the Lonely Island, and Norah Jones... and lets be honest, all of those pairings sound just as absurd as writing with 5SOS, if not less. You can't argue that all of those bands were in some way inspired by Green Day, though.

GD covering Oasis? No, just no. Really, just no.

what are you talking about??? I said I choose to believe Billie was being polite by saying he was busy. That in no way implies inside knowledge. Believe it or not people will think you are a complete asshole if you just say it out right there is "not a fucking hope in hell" I'll work with you. There are better ways of letting someone down, like coming up with an excuse as to why you can't work with them.

Listen to Howard Sterns interview with pop punk band 5 seconds of summer. In addition to “She’s Kinda Hot,” the group also performed a cover version of Green Day’s “American Idiot.” The four guys are big fans of Green Day, and Hemmings revealed, “We were gonna write with Billie [Joe Armstrong] for the album, but he was busy doing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” http://www.gossipcop.com/5-seconds-summer-howard-stern-interview-5sos-performance-october-2015-audio-listen/

It sounds like a good sign if they're going into the studio! But yeah you can never be sure how long it's actually going to take. Sometimes they do things quickly but they also first went into the studio to work on the follow up to American Idiot at the beginning of 2006, so...
