How can BJ be the tallest in that photo.

I think Forever Now is one of my top 5 favorite Green Day songs. It's just perfect

It came up on my Timehop yesterday that I'd gotten a ticket for the February London show through the presale a year ago Because the social media team have no idea what they're doing? What I wouldn't give to be in charge of all their accounts just so I can sort shit out. I'd post some live footage for a start

Holy shit, that is the worst thing I have ever seen put to words. PUNK ROCK! Not into unitards? I hear they are the new thing around here. And not for nothing (admittedly I have never understood that saying), that dude might have the smallest cock in the history of the world so he definitely shouldn't. I think he may have an inny. In fact, that is not a cock, that is a penis, possibly a vagina. (And why can't I stop looking at it). AND THE SNEAKERS? Why the FUCK IN GOD'S name would you subject yourself to a unitard that is all green and not wear green sneakers and die your hair green, or at least paint it green? FFS, I hope Green Day trashes that dude's garage because he was not near happy enough.

It's the hair!

Hey don't worry about it. I just thought the man's already in a unitard, he's suffered enough

Nah it's great, it's a short story written by Larry Livermore about GD and an obsessed fan (the joke there being that they wouldn't have had a limo or private jet at the time), it was printed in the Kerplunk booklet. First time something irl has come close to it http://www.greenday.net/lauriel.htm I don't think it's really necessary to ridicule the guy's body though.

The tattoo

Or he used a box again.

Once I feel better, I'm gonna post a pic of the Green Day shoes I got in the mail yesterday. 😄

little willy thread

Man at first I thought this was Billie Joe

This dude would need to stuff like two pairs of socks just to be small. (sweet, a new page. Please see page 227 for reference :-X)

Men should not wear

Ok, Erica was the first to start the Raw Ham lyric and there was an avalanche of followers! It's insanely funny to me for some reason. I think because out of everything it literally makes no sense. Even on its own. Who would ever say "raw ham"? I mean ever. I mean the only way in life I could see that being said is if somebody had a wrapped piece of brown paper and someone had their hands on it and you would say "don't touch that, its raw ham". Literally can't think of another time. Lol! Maybe the enemy is raw ham after all. Maybe Trump ate raw ham as a child and somehow Billie knew this and was being prophetic. "know your enemy, raw ham". its coming clear now. OMFG, please tell me you thought WICA has a chorus that said "Smells Like Shrimp". Just lie to me if you didn't. That is just beautiful. Im afraid to ask what "Smells Like Teen Spirit" translates to (Nirvana).

And Tre's ass getting burned. I still don't know how he does not come out of that without 2nd degree burns

Its in the time 5 songs our local radio station plays. I heard it on the radio yesterday & ..... well Im imagining the waterfall pyro

It's about freakin' time woman!

SB is giving me the feels atm.

Holy shit. I just found a misheard lyric from ME on TDTD from the lyric video. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as funny as pretty much all of these. In fact, it's not funny at all. I thought it said "I was a high school animal", not "atom bomb". Learn something new every day.

A flaw in the quote system. I had copied the text within what you had quoted. Oh well.

But is he wiggered?

Tré is so woke

Normally I'm not very keen on Babiš-owned media but I can't say no to Green Day

Anyone still actually think Tre is writing this stuff?

It is still perhaps my absolute least favorite Green Day song of all time. And probably purely because of the slowness. And really...it's mostly the opening that's really annoying to sit through. It's ok live. I wonder if I would have liked it more if it was a Ordinary World type of acoustic song. I've grown very fond of acoustic stuff in my proper adulthood But if you experienced the premiere of that song and that video, ugh omg, what a time to be alive! Bits of it premiered in a spot for an NBA/basketball promo and to this day I can still play in my head the exact sounds and moments that went with it because for a while that was the only recording of it we had. Then the video came out and it was so polarized on opinions. So I have a fondness for it still because it was just...REBIRTH in GDC, not dissimilar to Bang Bang's arrival.

My excitement is real!

same i love 21CB a ridiculous amount not just because of the music but because of everything surrounding it too - my first gig, my first album release experience on the forum, the artwork....ugh it's just great and I'll always jump to its defense

The green thing is pretty cringy . Reminds me of the My Adventure With Green Day story when she won the contest and the private jet was all painted GREEN and said GREEN DAY on the side and then there was a GREEN limo and a guy in a top hat opened the door!!!

Do I get a medal? I see where you guys are coming from in sticking up for 21CB. It's a good point that they wouldn't have waited around for so long if they were truly cashing in, but the similarities between the two as what is quite an ambitious and unique thing (to revive the political rock opera at that time) just always struck me as weirdly close. It just always makes me wonder if I was a mistake to go for round 2, when AI broke the mould and was unique. To make another similar record just always struck me as the wrong thing to do, like they were trying to drag out the successes of AI. (Don't hate me for this, I am in a thread where I can say that!) There are some songs on there I do like to listen to sometimes, like American Eulogy,, but some of them are just pretty shit. I'm sorry! Know Your Enemy has an awesome sound to hear live, but when you listen to it in your room for what it is, it's just one line that doesn't carry a whole lot of meaning (unless you invest one into it). And 21 Guns is too similar to All the Young Dudes for me to ever enjoy fully. I almost wonder if everything they did after AI up until Revolution Radio was a response to the success of AI. The fact their next album was similar, then feeling the need to do a huge trilogy rather than just release a standard rock record (sans operatics). It took them over 10 years after AI to release a standard record! Anyone else see where I'm coming from? And I know they didn't start the trend of long songs in parts, that goes back into classical music centuries ago! I just meant in their own rock songs. (I feel I should disclaim Green Day are my favourite band of all time and I love most of their music, I'm just being 100% honest about what I see to be their faults )

I'm sorry but this is just weak in so many ways that I don't know where to begin.

Yeah it seem kinda random whether it does or doesn't. Luckily it did for me there, it was a nice read And I wonder as well what that is haha

That's a nice looking guitar.

Eventually he'll figure it out and if unintentional he'll switch it back. Enough people have posted about it now (And I sent a message to his inbox if by chance he checks those). There's really no reason to make a fan account private and make it harder for things to get shared. There aren't that many trolls and he doesn't mind taking them on anyway. He would now have to approve every follower and when they're strangers how do you know anyway. It's just a pain.

I might have mentioned this before but my favorite misheard lyric is from Ashley. I thought Billie said "Are you crying on Michael Jordan?"

I don't think it was cashing in at all. From all the interviews and articles at the time it seems like it was a difficult album to make and they really dug deep emotionally and laboured over it, if they wanted to knock out a quick follow up to cash in on AI's success why wait five years and labour over the most complex music and lyrics they've made to date? I think it was a natural artistic progression, building on what they started with AI to make an even more ambitious and musically diverse album which does have some similarities but a lot of differences as well. AI is a political rock opera telling a story that you can follow from start to finish. 21st CB makes use of characters again but isn't a rock opera, there's really no storyline, and while it touches on some political points I couldn't call it a political album, it's much more personal. It's the most ambitious and impressive music they've made imo. Much more than a copy of AI, it might've been built on what they'd done before but they progressed on and took their musical ambition to another level.

You've won the thread Honestly couldn't disagree more. 21CB is, for me, their best work. I don't think it's similar to AI at all. I get a totally different vibe. AI is compact, packs a punch, tells a story and job done. 21CB is theatrical (I mean literally, it's in three acts), intricate and a lot more experimental. I love AI's lyrics but some in 21CB give me chills. As for some lines not making sense, tbh every album has some of those Cashing in on AI's success? Maybe. But I think it's better than AI so if that's what they did, fair play to them!

I'm not gonna lie, I paused it each time a different ass pic came up.

I admit I watched that over more times than I should have. 😂😂😂😂

I think they strategically placed Mike in the back and BJ toward the front of the group creating that illusion. or this, hahaha.
