I couldn't stop myself

He really loves his naked self. I wonder how long he spends staring at himself naked every day Also I hope he doesn't apply that logic to everything he does...this is a nice restaurant, I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to eat here a 2nd time. Fuck it. Get naked.

Ha, I never normally visit this thread as I'm not always very objective about my boys, however, I too really like Dos. I don't think it's their best work but I think it's kind of loose and sexy, that's the best way I can describe it

This. And it's all about visibility. Green Day are definitely a force to be reckoned with, but I feel that - even though Rev Rad blew my mind - they have reached a point in their career at which they either decide to become one of those "oldish" bands that are respected for what they have achieved, but not very relevant to young kids, or they get down from their high horse and go meet the masses. And the masses are on social media nowadays, and they aren't satisfied with half-baked promo accounts. Let's be honest, most of the kids have no idea who Green Day are or that they released a new album. Hell, even older people don't really know. All the new bands have grown up with social media just like their fans and they automatically communicate with them there about every single aspect of their lives. That's the reality of the business. How could a band like Green Day ever keep up without a change of strategy? And this came way too late. As you already pointed out, this should've started when RevRad was released, but anywho, we take what we get :-D

There needs to be more of Mike here. I know this picture of Billie has been posted here before, but I couldn't find the picture of Mike on its own. Not that there's anything wrong with posting this picture of Billie again

^^^ See those are the kinds of posts we want. 😄

Now Billie is posting his arse on twitter as well as instagram.

Now Billie is turning me into an Insomniac.

And the three of them are so funny and have personalities that are made for social media. If they put just a little effort into it they'd be great. You're right @melissi_unicorn that's an essential part of self promotion these days. I don't want a trailer for the revrad tour, I want a Q&A or a funny tweet or livestream. I want to know how they spend their downtime and see them just messing around. Some of the recent things we've seen have been pretty good, they have me checking the sites all day for updates.

There are a few solid tracks on Dos, but not as many as I'd like on an album, and also fuck Nightlife.

I fucking love ¡Dos!. I'm seriously not trolling or anything, it has became my favorite Green Day album for sure; Fuck Time, Stop When The Red Lights Flash, Lazy Bones, Makeout Party, Ashley, Lady Cobra, Nightlife, Wow! That's Loud.. of course Wild One, Amy and See You Tonight are good too, but not as good as previously listed. Especially Lady Cobra and Makeout Party are THE TRACKS that I listen daily. Sure, the lyrics aren't as creative as it was on 21CB, but goddamn, they really know how to rock and roll. Kind of odd seeing this album as ''the worst GD album ever'' when I really love it, but I guess I have different taste. So, that was my first post. I like to lurk mostly, but someday I may post another comment.

Btw I really like Jasons new haircut

I AM DYING FROM CUTENESS OVERLOAD WTF?!?! Everytime the kid went to hug Billie I went "d'awwwwwww" That is funny to see an 11 year old sing it though.

^^^ what an awesome kid that was amazing and pretty funny to see an 11 year old sing Longview. Was his mother there?

Exactly. The official accounts are for promotion, personal accounts are for communication. It's much more sincere when they post the usual everyday stuff like other people do.

Hmmm possibly, but tbh I think I'd rather them use twitter for every day things instead of promotion (sometimes that in itself works as better promotion), I wanna know what they've had for dinner or what they dreamt about, I don't wanna see the same stuff as they post on instagram, same goes for anyone on any social media

Yep, it can be very serious. There are varying degrees, but it can get very bad very fast. I've seen it first hand many times, and it's scary. On a more pleasant note, I love that pic of Billie and Adrienne that someone took from behind them. Billie looks so happy!

He's following @babyanimalpics, this is too much

Don't get me wrong I love that they all seem to be active on twitter (for the moment, anyway) but this would've been better timed around...I don't know, the release of revrad?

The first picture is the most beautiful thing ever! Billie and the kid =

Nope still not cool That first pic of Billie's is precious!

Here's the YouTube video

Exactly, i couldn't agree more. It's how you say it - they should have been on Twitter prior to the album release or ideally, Billie never should have left in the first place, but better late than never.

Exactly! I'm almost afraid to go to sleep cause I could miss something, haha.

Special for GDCers who want setlist change I think the band really enjoy this song... Or they just need to do the saxophone soundcheck

Gah! The bandana and the Frankenstein shirt under the Hawaiian one! His style is nuts but I love it!!

So cute that he replies to Mike's tweets 😊

I don't understand the hate for any of the trilogy except that it shouldn't have been a trilogy for commercial reasons. I love all three of them though.

That's so extra

He might've done it whether or not he was a celebrity , but agreed and I wouldn't have been forgiving about it just because he is one. I know right? What 11 year old wouldn't enjoy getting on stage and singing dirty lyrics though, he was loving it. And the hug is the sweetest!

YOLO 'cept someone close to me almost died of it I might get a Twitter too so we could spam him with photos of his own ass

He is crazy! But..you gotta love him naked!

I don't really like 21 guns purely acoustic that much though, I wish (like with WMUWSE) that they'd play the full or semi-full band version of it. Still, there's plenty of other 21CB songs that I could think of that I'd be much keener to hear (title track, EJN, Before The Lobotomy, Viva La Gloria, Horseshoes and Handgranades, Restless Heart Syndrome). I think the two main reasons why this setlist seems so stale and old is: 1. Lack of alteration, / variety between shows. 2. Heavy reliance on hit songs from AI and Dookie. Other albums such as Warning, Nimrod, and 21CB are underrepresented and Insomniac and the trilogy are even omitted completely. The fact that (besides the songs from RevRad) the newest song on their setlist is KYE from 2009, and that it's the only song played from 21CB makes the setlist seem old as well. I think if they played more from each album (so cut down on a few Dookie and AI songs) and varied the setlist slightly each night leaving a slot for a few rarities or lesser known / lesser played songs, that would already make a huge huge difference...

Billie Exhibitionist Joe at it again

Me

I agree with this 100%. I thought I was the only one that didn't like it and I'm so glad I'm not. To me, it's just too slow and it goes on too long. I don't hate it, but it's the only song from RevRad that I can't get into. It definitely should've been faster, it would sound so much better.

I always hear people talking about replacing a certain song, or adding a certain song permanently. How about it isn't a question of replacing, but rather alteration, variety, constant change ups. So, if JOS or KFAD should be temporarily be replaced one day by Homecoming, some old rarities another, a few unplayed songs from RevRad the next show etc, I'd definitely support that. That would be the ideal situation in my mind. Don't change the core structure of the setlist, but rather alternate between certain songs. I'd rather miss a certain song I love and hear something else rarely played, or some song that makes the setlist of my show different to all the others...

I fucking love them. <3 Tre looks like he's having so much fun. <3

They don't need to justify it or make excuses . Changing a setlist isn't a requirement or something that's owed to anyone, or the only factor that makes a show good/bad/different. It's just part of how they want to play their shows, a stylistic choice.

Tom Petty was listed as selling it out at just over 40,000.

Fashion Victim is severely underrated
