nevermind the frills, i just cannot get over how genuinely happy, and healthy he looks in all these new photos.

I just watched the great video of their full performance at iHeart 2016 album release party on youtube and it already made me teary. But when they interview that girl right at the end who says that she wished it never ended and she couldn't have asked for a better show and she cries, it made me actually cry like a baby. I couldn't be more grateful right now that this band is still around. Even if I didn't have the possibility to see them this tour, only the fact that they are healthy and happy and touring and making fans cry makes me so, so happy. God, I have to pull myself together, or I will cry the whole time when I see them in January

I like these - Billie being Billie!

From iHeart Radio last night.

Well seeing as we all love Frillie Billie so much I found a couple more for us to show our appreciation of the frills!

There is.

Love that setlist!

I don't know how to explain it properly, but the Trilogy sort of baffles me for reasons other than "It's bad". Honestly, a lot of the songs are super catchy and unique. However, the songs just don't FEEL like Green Day. I don't know how else to put it. Even the better songs like Brutal Love and Lazy Bones are GREAT, but they don't even feel like a Green Day song. In contrast, take "Youngblood." Poppy just like the Trilogy, but it bleeds Green Day. Maybe it's the guitars or vocals...idk. The Trilogy just felt...off. Not bad, but off.

A cute muffin.... eating a muffin

Wow that's bizarre lol

I made these

Oh! That's interesting and does make more sense. Something tells me Billie was perfectly aware of how it could be misinterpreted though, and was obviously okay with that

I really like you🙃

weeeeeellll this is one of the most random things youll ever see

To be fair he says that about literally everything

Yes!! I have CBDS 7inch with Ashville on it and it's great though I prefer the vocals on PHGP version. I love Mundt and have some of their 7 inches also but haven't heard their version of the PHGP songs. I need to track them down now The great thing about Aaron is that you could spend forever chasing down all the bands he was in just to discover he's in a new one. It's endless Aaron has a bizarre obsession with jumping into hedges I'm serious he really has/had a thing about diving into hedges and seems to take the whole thing rather seriously.  This is taken from Lanky and I'm only taking part of what he said about jumping into the "legendary cross shaped hedge" because it's way too long! "There is a particularly fulfilling feeling of diving into a hedge. Of losing yourself in it, deep among the leaves and dusty debris, swimming, losing your hat in it usually too and getting pulled out by your crew just in time for a mad dash from the angry neighbours and neighbourhood watchers. It's an addictive feeling not unlike the best dancing, when you lose all sense of up and down. You even lose track of the distinction between your body and other bodies - or walls, floors, and drumsets. But a good hedge has even more of an anti-gravity effect. Firm, yet pliant. Gentle and loving, yet brutal and unforgiving. At once familiar and full of surprises; surprises consisting of but not limited to: broken bottles, old toys, sharp sticks, bricks, thorns, and our favourite, metal fences. Many a night we were impaled, nay, flayed, by an errant hedge. Nights for which we still bear the scars. We all sat together, grouped like a list of afflictions or synonyms for suffering. Gathered in front of the reservoir in the early morning mist, still soaked from the rain and sore from the battle, licking our wounds. Did I mention it was my birthday party? 19. The years, they pass so fast." Now try looking at a hedge the same way again!

I insist it is pink!

But isn't Troubled Times exactly about being speechless? About the fact that you just can't put into words what happened in Paris - and in Europe right now, in general? The horrible attacks in Paris might have inspired Billie to write this, but to me, the song is much more. I feel that it's about the whole continent falling apart, with terrorism turning us against each other, the rise of right-wing powers and talking about putting borders back up because we start to distrust each other. And we all know what happened the last time when Europe started to fall apart, but obviously we didn't learn anything ("What part of history we've learned, when it's repeated?"). What's happening right now on this continent is scaring the hell out of me and I'm angry and helpless at the same time. Maybe I'm reading way too much out of this song because I'm sitting right in the middle of this conflict around me, but I think the song captures the mixed feelings and the dark future this continent might be facing in the future perfectly, even without many words. It feels dark, depressing and threatening and makes me even more uncomfortable when I listen to it and think about the Europe I used to love and that's standing at the edge (of the world) right now...

It's not about periods, but it does deliberately bring starting periods to mind as a metaphor for being old enough to be hurt by the world or exploited by the world. I think Red Tide is more about PMS/the effect of hormones during a period than the "red tide" itself. I dig that they'll happily write about periods and even managed to make a song about periods sexy, don't know how popular/unpopular that is

Do you know the song is not talking about period right. It's about being old enough to be hurt by the world.

I'd love to hear Little Girl too but I doubt it'll ever happen. 21CB in full would also be amazing but that's definitely never going to happen I've heard Viva La Gloria! once so I'm being greedy but it's still my favourite song of all time and I'd really love to see it again.

Yeah, the video did the job for me too. That song just blew my mind and then I saw Billie at the end of the video - that made me a fangirl as well right away.

I love 21st Century Breakdown live I really miss that song

I wish they played EJN, it's such a badass song overall. I'd prefer it over know Know Your Enemy actually.

omg
