The only appropriate place to post this

I recognized those little striped mismatched socks right away

Tré's new Insta-story is brilliant. That's content we're living for

I don't know where to begin with the pics on Billie's post from Chile. How?!

I am totally fangirling over Tre's insta story where Billie has his feet on the back of Tre's chair. His little feet are so adorable. And his odd socks tho. I love it when he's being eccentric. And his expression when Tre puts the camera on his face. And omg, don't even get me started on his most recent instagram post. Every single picture is total perfection. His eyes, and his hands, and his lips, and his hair, and his neck, and his ears, and his eyebrows, and his legs, and his facial expressions. He is totally flawless. He just keeps looking better and better.

As a grammar nazi who loves Billie, Billie. That being said, my eye will always twitch when I hear him say "could care less" in JOS and Ashley.

Chile

so about 20 minutes ago I started to make coffee and then I went in my room and started watching the GD House of Blues set. Then when they got to "409 in your coffeemaker" I yelled "fuck!" and ran off to the kitchen, I totally forgot that I had made coffee I dug my green day mug out of the cupboard because of what happened lol. I was gunna post a pic of it but I don't have anywhere to host the pic since I deactivated my facebook page, oops!

Found the post on reddit where someone edited it-

@Hermione has the right answer. If you've ever watched the tv show called Don't Drive Here, the episode in Mexico City, the tv host's goal is to drive like one of the professional drivers in one of those security convoys. In South America, there are a lot of drugs dealers and criminal organizations who are ready to kidnap wellknown/celebrities/rich people to exchange them for money. So, it's a common thing down there to have a security convoy around another vehicule in which the people of interest are taking place . The security convoy is «allowed» to go over the speed limit, to not stop at red lights and stop signs, and it can block traffic whenever it needs to without asking for any kinds of permission. If you want to see how stressful this job is, part of the Don't Drive Here episode in Mexico City is on Youtube. Anyway, back to fangirling: Billie Joe is hawt!

The one & only time hubby saw GD with me he talked for months afterwards about what an amazing frontman BJ is. We would be at bbqs at friends houses & he would bring up the topic of how great the concert was & how involved BJ got the crowd etc. Apart from BJ you get the entertainment value from all the other members on stage - I think thats what makes a GD concert unique.

Guys, I give you a quick hello, I haven't got much time lately but I'm so happy to read this thread as usual . And fortunately Billie hasn't gone slimmer or less chiny on this leg of the tour, why on earth would he : As for the nose hair , as far as I'm concerned, he can let the gray take over.

He talks about it at 2:00 in this video, but he says he bruised his ribs, not cracked them.

I love the pictures Billie posted from Chile. The kiss and the Chile sweat band in the 1st picture, with Mike in the 2nd picture , the expression on his face in the 3rd ...... and the cap.

Yesssss! That's why it's one of my favorite songs ever. I remember hearing it for the first time, it hit me hard. I was someone else. And this reminds me of the scene in Heart Like a Hand Grenade where Billie starts crying when they finish recording Whatsername. It kills me every time

The information about the police escort is eye-opening for me in my little suburban bubble, thank you. I'm glad they're keeping them safe down there. Also, from the pics it appears that Billie is back in full eyeliner mode and I'm happy about it.

Dancing Jeff is everything I've ever wanted

Yeah, the pitch was changed. Someone on the reddit sub changed it back one time, and it's definitely him.

Love his sock collection

Who would win Billie Joe vs. basic grammar

Chile

Holy shit I just listened to this, it is him . I can only think maybe he was quoting from something because I still don't believe he would've written it that way

He’s said it a few times, I know he said it one time they did a look back at their music videos for Kerang TV when they also spoke about how he broke his tooth the night before filming Good Riddance, maybe the Howard Stern interview last year? Will try and think, nothing on Google or YouTube from my searches so far.

Just to point out that even when it is him he changes the words of the recorded versions. It always irks me a little that he always says live “the representative of (whereever) NOW has the floor” where on the record he just says “the representative of (California) has the floor”. I think he just mistakenly remembers it that way and it gets stuck like muscle memory.

I dunno If that means much though. In the "sample", if it's him he's playing a character so there's no reason he wouldn't word it that way. And if it wasn't him, Billie would still have listened to the song and chosen the sample so would still know what the phrase is I dunno, I'm still erring on the side of it being Billie - it's got a tell tale nasal sound that I can't explain away!

How many puppets/dolls does this band need?

I'm pretty sure it's a sample in EJN. For one thing when Billie replicates it live he quotes it wrong so that it's no longer grammatically correct (on the CD: "And you will see how godless a nation we have become" live: "And you will see how godless OF a nation we have become"), and I don't think he ever would've phrased it the correct way it's said on the CD. Plus it also comes after a bunch of mixed up radio samples and sounds like one, like you're tuning the radio and that's the station you settle on and hear a whole line from.

The dance moves on Mike's instagram story are priceless

Holy shit, I did not know that was Billie talking in EJN. I've just gone back to listen to it and it really doesn't sound like him, but it also does kinda sound like him at the same time.

Billie’s post is not his best effort is it?

I agree. They're so much more appreciative because they don't get the regular tour stops like the rest of the world. The rest of us (N America, Europe, Australia) take it for granted that they'll be somewhere near us. For Asia and S America it's possibly a once in a lifetime thing. I think the band know and appreciate that, but it's got to be exhausting at times.

I'm always so amazed by his voice in the second chorus of Whatsername, where you can hear the emotion as it comes through.

Happy 44th birthday Jason White!

Billie just did a live on the way to the airport. They had a police escort! He was being ridiculously silly 🙃

Around the time the Trilogy came out (I think?) MTV hosted some kind of "battle of the fans" thing. We were up against Tokio Hotel in the end and their fans were cheating by using bots to vote or something? Anyway I want to refer to it in my dissertation, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. Anyone else remember? edit: MUSICAL MARCH MADNESS! It's the 2012 one I'm on about. I found it on the photo they used of Adam Lambert, which I'd saved and added "blocked bowels must not prevail", because apparently we all thought he looked constipated. In case anyone else is writing their dissertation on fandom and is desperately searching for this, or if you're just nostalgic, here's the voting screen:

I never knew Sick of Me was so autobiographical - Billie is the dog that just pissed on your barbecue

Yes I found it! The text is white on a white background for some reason so you have to highlight it to read it, I'll also post it here for safe keeping: http://www.greenday.net/melodymaker.html The pissing on the barbecue part :
