Laura Jane Grace ‏@LauraJaneGrace 16 hours ago @BJAofficial Greenday was my first show. I talk about it in the book. Without your band mine would not exist. Laura Jane Grace ‏@LauraJaneGrace 16 hours ago @BJAofficial Can I send you a copy of my book? Would love to share with you.

The thing I like about the catwalk is it in effect doubles the length of the front row. Plus wherever you are if you happen to not have the greatest view of Billie you get more chances to get a good view when he uses it. I guess if you're front and centre it can be a drawback for him to move from there but overall it's a view improver, as long as he's not on it too much of the time. I particularly liked it at Wembley Stadium because I was a few rows back half way between the stage and the catwalk so I might be biased because of that, it meant great views all night from that position. Hmm I find Waiting, 21 Guns and LOTAG quite average. But 21st Century Breakdown might be their best video so I'd be willing for Marc Webb to have another go just based on that. Most of all I don't want Sam Bayer again, he's done some good videos for them but when they're bad they're really bad. Might be more interesting for them to go with a totally new director. Edit: Oh and I really like the Stray Heart video, certainly the best from the trilogy. I see it's directed by someone called Roboshobo, I'd be pleased if they used them again.

Basket Case was directed by Mark Kohr. HE also directed Time of Your Life, Hitchin A Ride, WICA, amongst others. He did an excellent job with those videos, they were very cute. I had no problem with Sam Bayers directions of Oh Love and Kill the DJ. They are much darker songs than any of the songs that Mark Kohr directed. I find Sam Bayers direction more mature and they used him at a time when they were trying to appear more mature, to change their image. Sam Bayer helped them do that with the AI videos. They were clearly going for a much darker theme with the OH Love and Kill the DJ videos. That is why they chose Sam Bayer. The right director will depend on the direction of the new album. They may want to go back to a funnier themed video or they may want the video to be on the more serious side. Personally, I don't care who the director is as long as it fits the theme of the song properly.

He was probably drunk. Thank goodness he stopped mooning like this years ago

Anyway, let's have more pics - haven't seen these before

Probably going to make myself very unpopular here but the point isn't posting of pics but the sexual commentary that goes with them and if I remember right that is why the fangirl thread was set up? I don't think it's right for ppl to bitch on tumblr about it though

Therefore: Rawr Haha I just realized that GenXidiot had pinned that on pinterest xD

Yeah can we try and keep the fangirling/perving to the fangirl and revealed threads? I enjoy a bit of fangirling too but it doesn't need to be over the top and all over the forum.

Sharing one of my pictures from 2009 again - I definitely have to take my new system cam next tour. damn blurryness

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Argue is a strong word. maybe annoying "Banter"? Anyway, sorry!

@JJ1964

It is cringeworthy, as is sticking his hands down his pants. It is about as attractive as Donald Trumps hair. I don't think he has actually done that in awhile, when he was not in a compromised state. I would actually be very disappointed if he did that kind of stuff anymore.

Sam Bayers videos for GD are a bit hit and miss. Like @GenXIdiot said if the videos are like the AI videos they would be OK, but I don't want another video like Oh Love. Some of the best videos are the earlier ones like Basketcase, When I come around, and nice guys finish last- are the directors who did those videos still available?

You're right, I really liked the AI videos. it just scares me that Oh Love and Kill the DJ are his more recent GD videos. I just hope those videos are not indicative of a direction he would want to take with GD. If I knew the videos were going to be like the AI, then I would be very excited to see him doing them again.

But Sam Bayer also directed all the videos from AI as well as BIAB. He also directed some iconic videos such as Smells Like Teen Spirit and Doll Parts. I am probably one of the only people that didn't mind Oh Love. But even if you say he had a miscue with that one, he has had alot more successes than failures.

Two of my favourite musicians I knew she liked Green Day but not to that extent. Super cool!

No, just no.

Sorry I was getting inappropriate there and I'll tone it down in there future. I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone, so I'm sorry that I did. Here's a nice picture instead:

hells yea xD and i wont stop fangirling on my instagram. that's what keeps me young

/off topic. That's disgusting. Glad I don't tumblr.

haters gonna hate xD that's fine I guess

After a while I rewatched the 21CB era music videos and I'm still very impressed by the Marc Webb's work, I think that choosing him it's been a very good move from the band/Warner. Do you guys have any idea/preference about who should direct the next music video? I'm not well informed about the most productive or acclaimed directors nowdays, any name that you think could match with band (despite the fact that we know nothing about the new record's sound and style)?

No sorry if I worded my last post wrong, I was saying that I DON'T think there will be pyro. And yeah that light sign was a bit obnoxious but I really did enjoy the lighting work that they did during the last tour and I really hope they do that again, along with a catwalk

I was actually thinking about this and what the actual backdrop will be. I personally think they will go for the simple backdrop and rely mostly on lighting instead of large screens and pyro and all that jazz

Well the slime pic is from thre americsn idiot video, right? I would suggest a shower to Billie... With me.. *cough* Sorry, I had to go there xD Friggin love this one:

Currently drooling over cuatro. I made up my mind. Not sharing either. MINE Billie Joe Armstrong: Makin 11-50 years old drool since 1986 xD

*drops dead

Better quality!

Probably Dortmund or Hamburg then, I went to several shows in Germany and the US. I don't remember which photos where taken where exactly. These are f rom the 3 shows in Germany that weren't a festival. I don't know which outfit was which show tho...

Love that black hanky with the white polka dots...

Nope, Favourite Son was and (if I recall correctly) so was Too Much Too Soon.

ok here's some beauty for you...

Everyone should have a Billie at home *sigh* is it quatro or cuatro? i shoudl buy it, never watched it o.O i have some other weird green day dvd i bought in Texas in 2007 that has some disturbing content xD

I mostly really loved 21CB; it's definitely in my top 3 GD records. However, I agree about the choice of singles. I've always thought that LotAG was kind of bland and missing something to make it stand out, like the excellent wah pedal-ed solo in Restless Heart Syndrome or the angry, urgent feel of Horseshoes and Handgrenades. I agree that Static Age would have made a great single.

Ok... So: sexy pic I think I've fallen in love all over again xD

Handsome, but I like it longer, at least on top:) Here's a nice smile

Yes he needs to pull his pants up

Love his messed up teeth! And the wrinkles around his eyes are so sexy

I was expecting you to complain that his clothes weren't tight enough

spamming this thread with beauty. I'm on vacation! Strange expression, but lovely eyes: #nomoreties

It's coming from the fact that it's great
