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.

Yeah, I thought he had, I couldn't remember for certain though.

Weren't FBHT shows a bit more drunk and crazy than regular GD shows? If so, I'm not sure it would work so well now Billie is sober.

Defs wouldnt fit on dos...neither of the two songs released would fit nicely on any of the trilogy records. Bang Bang and Revolution Radio seem much darker mainly in subject matter...the trilogy has some dark songs but not in the same way.

Fair point. However, they played a number of shows some time after 21CB tour ended or during that era and that album was serious as well so idk, wouldn't say it's hopeless. This makes me think I really do wish they wouldn't put on a super serious image, I liked the lighter mood of the trilogy. Neither seems to be what they are going for this time, though.

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

Sorry to double post, I just had a totally random idea: it's the time for another FBHT show. I do hope the foxies will make a cameo sometime during the revrad tour.

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?

I like the lyrics a lot. To me it follows along from Redundant and Church On Sunday as an honest/realistic type of love song, I especially like "The kids are alright, alright as they'll ever be" and the nostalgic verses. I've seen a few people say they dislike "You will always be my sweet 16" (thinking it's about 16 year olds and is corny) in the past, but knowing it's just a reference to his 16th anniversary I don't see anything wrong with that part either. Sounds pretty too. She's not exactly the greatest rapper of all time and I could see being disappointed with the verses not being from a "real" rapper, not everyone who dislikes it just dislikes rap. But I think that kind of seductive half rapping half talking she does works for the song/character and complements Billie's vocals well. And as is evident from discussions about Dos there's some people who dislike hearing any lyrics about casual sex in a Green Day song and are "disappointed" in Billie for writing about it (lol) and no doubt don't enjoy hearing a sexy woman's voice rapping about it on a Green Day song either. But it also just isn't to some people's taste (which is to be expected more than usual for a song that's different to the band's usual output) and there's nothing wrong with that. Doesn't stop me enjoying it!

I also love the trilogy but Sweet 16 is one of the only Green Day songs I'm really not into. It sounded great live on the one crappy recording there is, but on the record it's just dull.

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.

The hint of the inappropriate reference was made here, please stay ignorant for your own good!

I'm glad I haven't set foot in that thread because I'm happily ignorant of whatever you're bleaching out

Yeah, I also thought of Words I Might Have Ate, but still that's only 2 songs that I can think of and it's mainly in their really early material. I'm pretty sure the Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi official single is fade out but they just kind of made an ending when they played it live, which is all well and good but it does nothing for me when it comes to listening to albums in general and setting up the next song. Green Day have always been amazing at that in my opinion, but I guess that's because unlike most bands, Green Day usually fully fill their albums with hard work and quality.

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!

Ha just listening to awesome as f*** - so singing raw ham right now😋

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

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.

I got them! It's difficult to express these feelings but I don't think it has fully dawned on me yet. I've been a fan for almost 7 years and over that time, "seeing Green Day" has become something that "surely would happen sometime" but it has always been such an abstract wish - like when people say they'll make a trip to somewhere really fancy or buy an expensive car but never really act on it. It's really awesome I'm finally past this stage. When I pick up the tickets I'll have to display them somewhere so I can stare at them all the time to remind myself I'm not dreaming!

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

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

I know that obviously but the flow of the two singles fit well together. You can have songs that don't lead into each other directly but still have a good flow to an album ...

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.

I agree, and it is relative. Green Day has the potential to obtain critical acclaim for their music, and didn't reach those heights with the Trilogy. The sales were nothing to write home about either compared to previous albums. I guess my perspective is assessing the success of the Trilogy with all things considered, rather than just their past. Im really looking forward to seeing how Revolution radio does critically and commercially 🙂

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

Can't we permaban him yet?
