I just feel bad for the tour crew who have to deal with that wire afterwards

I really should say something here but I'm having a hard time finding the words...luckily a picture is worth a thousand of them they say:

Billie looking like a cool dude in shorts & t-shirt

I love that Branden Steineckert is such a Green Day fangirl!

The only thing I don't like about both of those is that he either dies or is dead. I was not expecting that with the Nurse Jackie scene and he did a damn good job because it felt real enough to scare the shit outta me! But yeah the scene from Haunted was also good! Wait, I'm looking at the years of all these things and I feel like instead of steadily improving he went the opposite direction until OW. Maybe his performance is just really dependent on the quality of the director? This is only based on what I've watched but this is how I see it... 2002 Haunted - Pretty Good 2012 Nurse Jackie - Pretty Good 2012 This is 40 - Not so good 2014 Like Sunday, Like Rain - Not so good (although this movie is great btw) 2016 Ordinary World - Pretty Good He drew the wrong symbol. Should've been an infinity sign.

Oh I love his Nurse Jackie scene! The scene from Haunted is good too but you're right, he's gotten noticeably better with each role he takes which is why I so look forward to seeing him challenge himself more.

Thanks to the video Billie made I'm now going through a phase of listening to Troubled Times a lot. I've always liked that song, but the last few days I've been listening to it 4/5 times on the trot on my iPod. In no particular order TT, Still Breathing, Bang Bang and Forever Now are my top 4 from Rev Rad.

Can't find it now, but that pic of Mike "pissing" in Tre's mouth and Tre looking way too happy about it is pretty damn weird.

Billie looks like he's enjoying that way too much.

Some more on the story of a very lucky 8 year old with lots of clips. The kid is in a band! http://www.wthr.com/article/8-year-old-guitarist-brings-house-down-at-green-day-concert

Wow, six times? That's dedication! Yeah I don't think a teenager would really get anything out of this film haha. I'm not 40 but I've been out of my teens for awhile now and I tend to connect with movies that target older audiences, but this one not so much, haha. The pretentious former film student in me (sorry) couldn't get past parts of it. But at the end of the day I didn't hate it, I just desperately want to tweak it. And everyone gets different things out of movies so it's good that some people are connecting with this one in a positive way. Haha, that's a weird description for it. I agree that I got a kick out of that. Like I genuinely forgot it was him and that he's hugely successful. It felt so real! I actually liked that aspect of it though because it made him seem more human and "normal". Not that I don't love his wild side, but it's always fun to see the other side. I actually watched this before I saw his scenes in other movies, etc. so I didn't realize how much he improved as an actor until I went back. To me, this and the Nurse Jackie scenes are his strongest filmed performances.

I kind of liked the movie because of Billie, but I agree that the plot is cringeworthy. Also, it's interesting to learn that you can overcome a midlife-crisis in only one day. Good to know.

I hope the winner is someone who is a huge fan of Green Day, and not someone who only likes Basket Case, American Idiot and "that I walk alone song".. Nothing wrong with being a casual fan but this prize is so awesome I want it to be truly appreciated by whoever wins! So bummed that I can't participate in this contest.

Nope, I've seen weirder

He was probably thinking more of the cult of celebrity thing but sucks when your words come back to bite you in the ass (similar thing happened to me just today actually). Let me guess, 1994?

Billie's looking quite comfortable

I agree with 100% I love little supporting role that Billie did from Nurse Jackle..(I never seen any of that show) until Billie were on it,I saw on Netflix few days ago and couldn't realize him when walk in scene of church..meeting Jackle and then make out with her and haunted is very chilling! I hope Billie can more acting role in future maybe A.I movie start production after RevRad tour?

Reminds me a little of this one: "I don't like actors," spits Billie Joe. "And I hate other musicians, except for the ones that I already knew or the few that are cool. I don't want to become an actor and I'm insulted when actors become musicians. I'm just not into the whole rubbing shoulders with the big boys kind of thing. I'm doing just fine without them."

Yeah that's not morbid at all 🙄

Just noticed that under Billie's name he writes 1972-? Like no Billie don't even put that out there lol.

Pretty risky move with his phone though. Many a times I've hit the pool at the bottom and flipped. And he had to do the slide one handed and keep the phone steady. Mad skillz.

Absolutely stunning pictures! He posted just the water slide video first then it disappeared (but I was able to play it by going back) and I thought he'd accidentally posted to "the billiejoearmstrong". The caption was something like "sometimes a waterslide puts life into perspective", lmao.

Yay! A happy post from Billie! The above post was amended. It seems he first posted just the waterslide video with this comment: via billiejoearmstrong sometimes a water slide puts life into perspective #wetnwildwaterpark Aug 17, 2017 👍🙂

This is why I say the movie is very relatable if you're of the age and have kids. The "still okay" part is the message that at some point in your life, you start living for your kids' futures and come to terms with your own past. It doesn't mean music can't still be a part of his life (he puts up a sign at the guitar shop for kids guitar lessons, he gets his daughter the guitar you know he wanted and he offers to start a band with her) but your focus shifts so that it's no longer all about you. That may not sound uplifting when you're 20, but it can be a very satisfying thing at 40 to come to terms with. That was the message of the movie. ETA: Further I think the movie did a good job of showing how his life was now markedly different from that of his single friends who still only focus on themselves. Sad and confusing for him at first, but in the end he sees the good.

It will be one for the record books for sure. And the eclipse will be nice too. 😉

I bet he did!and you love it every second of it!.right?.reveal!

He did a nice butt rub in Indianapolis tonight. ☺️

#Billiebuttclub Twiiter...I went on there and whoooaa!!ineverseensomanybuttonbillie..

*sings* I like Billie's butt and I can not lie!

I think this memorable event happened in my hometown. What a classy gift from the audience.

That's our Billie

That's one thing he's never cared about. Typical class clown, nothing embarrasses him and if something's funny he'll do it more.

Yeah, maybe @LaughingClock can participate, don't you live in the area? You should win this (and invite me to it)

That's even smaller than the 1234Go records shows. Sounds like a kick for the band. They'd probably love to play Eggplant's backyard again. Once upon a time they begged to play people's houses. Now they're a grand prize. 😊💚

His rants are getting longer I love you Billie 😘

Viva la Gloria is practically perfect, but the melody and harmonies after the guitars kick in especially are like a drug to me This from St. Louis last night is Billie at his finest, I love him so much (#kfadhatersgohome)

^^ Agree. 21 people?? That's surely got to be a contender for most intimate post Dookie Green Day gig ever? Lucky sons of bitches. Hope we get to see some of it

Had that on earlier, know what you mean! The piano is brilliant there. The lyrics as well.

I'm laughing at the GD twitter tweeting about the Trouble Times video where u been mate Also, every so often I get this massive surge of love for Viva La Gloria!. That piano and then when the strings come in, and Billie's vocals. It gets me every time!

There is also a video about this (or is it something else? I don't get it). I want Green Day to play my garage

Wait, how is the theatrical, political rock opera American Idiot gutless pop punk shit? They literally scrapped an album that was that and made American Idiot instead of it . And then 21st CB went even more theatrical and ambitious. Surely their older simpler stuff is closer to that description? And they've always made melodic/catchy/radio friendly songs since day one, that's just how they write music.

American Idiot was a huge risk that they feared people would hate. They certainly didn't do it because it was the mainstream, popular thing, they did it to challenge themselves. They've always done what they wanted except there are some fans that just want them to do Kerplunk over and over. They've had an impressive range over the years which has been much more interesting as a fan. I love that there's an album that suits my every mood.

Billie has most flat-out-fit-bod in 40 something that I ever seen..😋

Jesus of Suburbia is a great song, pretty much all Green Day fans can agree on that. Sometimes though it just feels like I truly understand and can appreciate what a fucking masterpiece it really is. Every time I listen to it recently I get chills. I love the fact that I've known and loved this song for 13 years, yet it still catches me by surprise with how amazing it is. God I love this band.

Hahaha they would have a hell of a time getting me on stage 😆😆

I think there's enough of the tattoo and chest to merit being posted here
