Oh geez I knew as soon as there was a new post it was gonna be that picture😱 His jeans are rolled up - they gave him big boy pants to wear with slippers.

But pretty tacky hotel slippers! 😛

You'll need to rob a bank to afford it.

Pretty sure this hasn't been posted in here before:

You are making sense, but I don't think it's hugely respectful or appropriate to speculate about a recovering alcoholic/addict relapsing.

He's already done one Foxboro show sober, so it's definitely a possibility!

Yeah I love Sweet 16! Very sweet love song to Adrienne, another one of those romantic but realistic ones he writes so well. I like to wait until I have a couple of hours worth of housework to do and go for the full Uno Dos Tre listen, always enjoyable

Ehm.. so? It doesn't fit the garage rock, Foxboro Hot Tubs-ish style of the album...

No matter what they tried, the HOTNESS still bursts through!

How woud Revolution Radio fit in any way on a party record?

I went through the pages that date back to the last tour. OMG, you people were insane! GDC fangirling isn't what it used to be ...adding something for your viewing pleasure

I love the clothes he's wearing in this picture

The masks are gone from the store and I sincerely hope it's because they realised that the price (and the idea that anyone wants to walk around with their "faces" on) was ridiculous not because ridiculous people already bought them all

I am! And if they keep Know Your Enemy on their setlist that's what I'll be proudly singing when I see them in February

Oh yeah, already went there in my mind.

That he has nice knees

yes, but he's already played two fbht shows sober and they were fine by all accounts. Shouldn't be an issue as far as we can guess.

RevRad isn't "tubish". Imo it might me on Tre, yet Tre is perfect even without RevRad

Much as I'd fucking love to see them I don't think they'll play, RevRad is darker and more serious and it wouldn't really go with the mood. That's assuming the tour will follow the mood, which isn't definite.

It might fit in musicality and tone, but not subject matter.

Oh my god I'm really happy that you got them ! I would have been so depressed if you didn't . It's definitely worth the 7 year wait! Which show are you going to?

The look worked perfectly for the film. He isn't a hot rock star anymore in the film. He is a middle aged dad. Trust me, you will love him in it.

Slight worried they went into dorky overload! Too long sleeves, turned up jeans and fluffy slippers - the man is a hot rockstar but I guess they need to TRY and bury his hotness for this film 😂😍

So far I'm thinking it won't be that different from it . I mean obviously it's different subject matter and different production, but musically I think it sounds pretty similar (quite simple and with a bit of a rock and roll sound) and even the lyrics have that snappy one liner thing going on, sounds like a continuation along the same line rather than a tangent from it (as if they've taken their cue from songs like 99 Revolutions and are going further and harder with it). An album with a sound not too far from the trilogy's only with harder production and political/social commentary lyrics sounds promising to me.

The opposite for me. Don't like the trilogy but that's a highlight for me.

Nothing boring about it.

Agreed, just maudlin and boring.

Still trying to figure out what's wrong with Lady Cobras voice? Was that just a lame excuse to say they don't like rap? I played it quite a few times and I was just in shock how underrated it still is to this day. I hate to keep saying it, but if I don't I really don't know who else will. It's always nice to hear nice records and stuff that's not political ALL THE TIME.

Yeah Dookie is my favorite album. But I think Sweet 16 is a great song.

Staying ignorant at inappropriate references is definitely something I'm capable of

Longview fades out but it has an ending when they play it live. I've never really heard a 'fade out' song by another artist being played live. Do they have to make up an ending? Do they walk away from the mic as they're singing and gradually turn the amps down? I've always wondered about that kinda thing

Playing all of the trilogy tonight, so many great tunes!!!

Sometimes i wonder if billie's personality rubbed off on me, or if i became so in love with green day because we have similar personalities.

I hope you are enjoying track 2 RAW FUCKING HAM!

No way - they are freaky but I'm sure someone in the fangirl thread could make an inappropriate reference😁

It would be a little too creepy for a show for my taste but perfect for Halloween.

This might have been posted already, but the masks from the Bang Bang video are for sale in the store: http://store.greenday.com/billie-joe-mask.html

Wow @Dakke, that hit me hard. Good analysis of how everything slowly but surely spun out of control. I wish such dark times were avoided, but in a way it feels like it all needed to happen this way. They couldn't sustain themselves the way they were headed. Trying to constantly out-do themselves, working hard constantly as to not dry up—I mean, that's admirable work ethic and I love how dedicated they are, but it gets to a point where it's obsessive instead of mere hard work. I'm so happy that they're able to look at everything that went down now that they're on the other side of it and have such a healthy perspective. I love how much they love what they do, and how hard they try to put the best of themselves out there all the time. But not at their personal expense. They're more important. I get the impression that after going through this, they understand that THEY mean more to their fans than a timetable of when they should put out a new record, or if their next record will top the one that came before. We're here because we love their music, but we need them to stick around for a long, long time in order to provide that music. They're not going to lose us when they need time for themselves.

Can't believe I'm seeing that in here . Does fit the thread's description though!

If felt weird starting the fangirl session about this picture but I do agree. His knees really are nice and he's got just as nice, muscular calves.

When I'd only read up to here I thought he was just adding that playfully as a joke: “So the press tried to pin us against each other. You couldn’t like one and the other, you had to pick one.” “I don’t think there’s any bad blood. I’ve done some things with Billy Joe” he continues. “There’s certainly a lot more in common than there is keeping us apart. There’s a lot more mutual respect than any kind of – we’ve got no problem with those guys.” “Having said that, we are a much better band. I should make that clear right?” laughs Noodles... But then: ...“All around I’d say. Just in general. We’re a much better band.” Oh he was serious

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what did I just see???

Billie's early performance is mentioned here: http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-09-14/before-they-were-famous-muse-red-hot-chili-peppers-green-day-korn-funny

The song was just on the radio & the announcer said this song is like red bull for your ears - he's got that right. Love this song so so much.

As I've mentioned, a while ago my mum misheard "Ashley" as "actually". Well today she heard it playing again from the next room and said, "Why does he keep singing 'ashtray'?"

Cake fight is such a tacky thing to do though...

I know people like to shit on Nightlife but there are still a lot of people who like Nightlife, and a lot of people like the rest of those songs you've named too Uno Dos Tré was made as a gift for the fans. It wasn't intended as an album like Dookie or AI to be universally praised. I'm sure if they wanted that, they could've just made it into a short album. They have loads of different types of fans, fans of Dookie/Insomniac, AI/21CB, Nimrod/Warning etc. and with the trilogy they tried to give something to each type of fan. I'm sure with this next release, they will make more effort to put more meaningful lyrics and a more epic sound into their songs There are loads of people who hate American Idiot. Not justr Seagull. Many people prefer the older GD albums or even the newer GD albums

Yes
