I prefer brutal love anyways.

I don't know if my opinion is uncommon / unpopular, but the "I don't have much" in OW, I don't relate to it as financial / material owning. To me it refers to what one really has to give as a person; because despite money and richness, you can still feel poor and lonely inside. In the end, you level of richness isn't related to what you "have" that really matters. And whatever your level of richness, you still have your own "ordinary life" that you are free to see in which or other way. I hope this is clear enough

Actually. I'll save you all the essay but I'm pretty sure it's a year some time this week since I heard either Bang Bang or 2D2D on my favourite radio show, went to investigate, and fell thoroughly in love. Forever grateful. Edit: aaand I just wrote a rambly 2am request email to the same guys about Back in the USA for friday. Sad

@gaslight13 I always try to make a clear distinction between the content of a song and the singer. To me, a song tells a story and stories are usually fictional. I don't really care for the singer just like I don't care for the author if I read a book. It's about the lyrics. And I can relate to them. But you are right, if you assume that the song is supposed to represent the life of Billie Joe Armstrong in 2016, it wouldn't be sincere. But what matters to me is what meaning a song has to myself. Besides, I agree with @Kuromignonne. To me, the song is not necessarily about money. It's about feeling lost and helpless and confused. All that you have is your own personality, your own values and eventually your love for some else.

Ok, I guess this is gonna be very controversial, but : Ordinary World > Good Riddance

Cute

That's weird, because normally he makes a big show of holding it in the air and doing little dances with it

Yeah, it's been such a wonderful era. For the first time in my life I can say that I lived it all, from the release of Bang Bang to the one of God's Favorite Band, which actually seems to close the RevRad period (it lasted approximately 1.25 years). Exactly 10 months ago I saw Green Day live for the first time and still today I can't find a day of my life which can be considered as important as that one. Although I was all alone, lost amongst 14000 souls, I felt part of something. I had never been so emotional and that meant a lot for me. An era full of waiting, but it was worth it. An era full of statistics, because I had become obsessed with Green Day commercial performance (it was fun). An era (almost, but it was my fault) full of GDC. And guys, you all deserve a big "thank you" because, in any case, you contributed to change my life a little bit. But a time machine would just be useless. "The child has grown, the dream is gone". And I'm just waiting for a new dream to start.

Tracking socks. Thatt would be a technological wonder.

Rolling Stone lists Dookie as the greatest pop-punk album of all time. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-greatest-pop-punk-albums-w508222 Which reminds me of this.

In your defense, in the 3 shows I've been to, I don't remember having said to myself : "oh, this is Blue!" I mean, I noticed it when Billie brought it, but I paid equal attention to every guitar he used (I love his black and white US flag guitar), and I paid way more attention to what Billie was doing with them than the guitars themselves!

Peru (why am I the only one posting here?)

Oh I think it was, right @Billie Joe Armstrong

Love Billie’s hat and also the last pic ^^^ 😂

Blue sometimes "takes a poo" as Billie put it I will have to check too. It's really Sad! that I forgot about it

I second this! times a million. Ya'll are just tired of GR. It's clouding your judgement, haha.

Oh heeeelllllll no! Them’s fighting words 😡

What do you all think of me? I'm offended

You guys, naughty, naughty and wrong thread

But what could have distracted you? Billie bringing Blue on stage grinning like a little boy who got his Christmas presents early is the cutest part of the show. Or, like, of all time 😍

But what were you looking at? It clearly wasn't his equipment.

NO GOD FORBID! I didn't look away for a split-second!

did you leave during the middle portion of the show?

Haha, same! It's been a pretty good 10 1/2 months Important update: my radio dude didn't know they had a new song out (figures ) but appreciates the heads up and might play it next week. I'm calling it a moderate success.

Or maybe he’s just a stalker

C'mon we are about $1,499.75 short

Ladies and gentlemen please fasten your seatbelts as we are experiencing another Lady Cobra.

Mmmmmmmmm....neck

I love it when Billie takes selfies. And although I'm gonna miss my boys so much when the tour ends, I agree with @neverdone2000. It's coming to the end of an era and it's time to move on. I'm really looking forward to the next era of GD - I have a feeling that it's gonna be even better than the RevRad era, and that's something.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the Rev Rad era, too. I'm really happy that I've seen it from the 'start' with the pictures/videos in the recording studio right through to now. Within days of Billies 1st recording studio picture I left my old, unhappy job for a new job that I'm incredibly happy with. Therefore, Rev Rad has been the soundtrack to a new era of my life. I've loved using this forum (especially the fangirls threads ), I've loved all the Facebook lives, Instagram pictures, Instagram lives, concert footage, pictures and news stories. I also feel honoured to have seen one of the best live bands on the planet- I just wish I could use a time machine to take me back to my 1st GD gig. I'm sad that this era has to end- but all good things have to come to an end, and hopefully the next era will be just as exciting!

Yeah. I wish I had a time machine and could go back exactly one year, then I would have 5 shows ahead of me, starting in January It's been such a blast, the most fun tour ever for me.

I've not seen Muse live but I've seen a lot of artists and I think Green Day get the best balance of spectacle, performance and audience interaction. It's hard to do all three but they manage it.

Tbh people only started worrying about every move Billie made and every sad thing he wrote after rehab . Like he always wrote about deep dark stuff but people just accepted that as part of expressing himself, never really saw a lot of worrying going on until we were given actual real life reason to. Not saying no one was concerned by any of his lyrics but it was kind of a different perspective before then, it's really only once you can see the parallels to real life events that it becomes more scary with hindsight.

lol I happen to be a bit of a guitar nerd Aww it's such a good excuse for not remembering stuff I asked mom - she doesn't remember seeing Blue either. *X Files theme*

I remember the us flag junior, the les paul, the sparkly junior, the giveaway epiphone, the gibson acoustic, a gretch (maybe? this is where the memories get blurry) but not Blue. I'm so confused now too. I live up to the name Billie Joe Armstrong when it comes to being forgetful

Oh yeah It is, I feel bad now that I'm not sure if he even played Blue

I'm just gonna draw attention to the caption: "Welcome to Peru-dise." Anyone else thinking that Mike's puns are rubbing off on whoever controls GD's social media?

It could be a Christmas present with a note that says "From the GDA Fangirls". But then he would probably be afraid that there's a microchip hidden camera or something in them.

what have you done... best board buddies 2018!!! I am very good at multitasking - I was looking at many things.

You know I'm not the real Billie Joe, do you?

He looks so different with his hair gelled. I like it in general but I'm not sure about it on stage. I'm going with the glass half full attitude on the end of the tour. The concert pics are getting redundant, although they are beautiful. At least when he's not on tour his pics and videos are more personal, even if they aren't as frequent. Also we have maybe some promotion with the greatest hits album to look forward to (I hope), and the eyeliner launch in January. Possibly AI movie, although I don't know. I'm ready for the next chapter.

I love the pictures from last nights gig and his selfie in the Peru shirt . He's posing like a teenager in the selfie . Billie would make my fangirl dreams come true if he wears a Newcastle United top- do it if you're reading this Billie

So happy is a euphemism? Now that, we are very good at. I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone and soon we won’t be waking up to new photos every second morning or so

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

I love this pic so much. That smile tho. And I just wanna poke his little belly. He's so cute.

I bet Billie is partly loving the adoring crowds and partly can't wait to get home to Oakland where people hardly give him a second look on the street.

Poor boy, I gotta say he looks a little freaked out here, the crowd is frantic:
