Billie‘s watching videos again haha This one’s from 2013 by the way (trilogy tour, in the U.S during the spring of 2013). Here’s the full original:

Green Day's got one in here- http://www.allthingsloud.com/year-photography-hans-peter-van-velthoven-looks-back-5-favourite-shots-2017/

Dorky uncle for sure but I bet they all love that he's a rockstar uncle too

That was my first Green Day show!

That one is my all time fave KFAD. I have yet to find one that I like better - although this one is pretty close.

Yeah, there was one view from behind where you could totally tell he was grabbing his crotch. Wish they had shown that from the front (even though we have a million views of that already; one more never hurts).

Same . There's a few KFAD videos from Warning times, I like this one particularly because of 1:25 onwards I'm such a KFAD fangirl lol, there must be barely a video of it I haven't seen

To my sense, the problem is we constantly urge ourselves to capture any good moment as if living it wasn't better, or wasn't enough. Living it is the only real thing, though... it's all we should need. I haven't either found it personally annoying that most people around me were filming at gigs, it didn't prevent me from enjoying these moments. But if there's something I realized by watching Youtube videos (cause I've been binge watching what people have filmed from this tour, yeah ), when sometimes the camera points out towards the crowd and we see what Billie sees, that myriad of cell phones out and up, I honestly find that totally freaky. I wonder how Billie, who feels concerned about this since he's been ranting against phones every night of the tour, could have spent the 2h30 of each show having this sight and not showing any sign of discomfort while performing. What he placed above all was giving the best show and making the audience go crazy, whether they'd keep filming or not... He even took selfies for fans who came up on stage... he filmed himself with a fan's phone while singing a line of Still Breathing at Corona Capital ("are you scared to death to live"... perhaps it was on purpose; something for this fan to think about when he / she'll be watching it); no matter how we interpret it, seeing him do this must've been the most moving thing, so once again he put the show before the rest, not avoiding cell phones if they could contribute to adding to the emotion of a moment, not being afraid to use them as to delivering a message, even in some paradoxical way. All the open-mindness, clairvoyance are courage that Billie has shown at the same time, through his behavior around cell phones stuff, is very fangirl worthy to me. I keep admiring Billie more. You know I took a screenshot of that video at that moment when he picks up the banana, and made a phone background of it; he's so cute it's almost too much to handle (plus, we don't get to see him slightly from above so frequently!)

Money Money 2020 is amazing to listen to with headphones. I appreciate it on a whole new level. Can you just imagine if they had released this then as the next Green Day album? People would have freaked! I almost wish they had done it. 😂

One of the coolest things about Green Day is that when you break down their songs into basic acoustic guitar/piano parts, you can hear the clear country influences bleed out from their music, especially in their older stuff. Billie's childhood music interests has clearly had a very subtle effect.

I'm still addicted to it. I'm still watching it at least twice a day. It's just too good. While we're on the subject of BITUSA, it brings me onto something that I've been thinking about a lot recently. With most bands/artists I listen to, my favourite of their work is nearly always stuff from earlier in their career (not that I don't like their newer stuff, but some of it usually lacks creativity, or it feels like they're running out of ideas, or sometimes it's just because they change their sound slightly and I prefer their older sound). I'm so happy to say that, for me, this is not the case with Green Day. GD seem to go through ups and downs, rather than a sorta steady decline, imo. I think some of the best things they've done have come from the RevRad era. RevRad is by no means my favourite GD album (it's all the way down at number 7 actually), but I just think that this era has really proved that they've still got some life left in them, and that they've still got so much left to give. I can confirm that Bang Bang is currently my favourite song ever. I just think it's perfect and I can't fault it. It amazes me that they've released such a fantastic song this far into their career. Also, I would say the RevRad tour has been their best tour ever, even with the static set list. It's just been so fun and enjoyable and amazing to watch, even though I didn't get the opportunity to actually go to any of the shows. And then there's the BITUSA video, which is by far the best video they've ever made, imo. Just, for me, so much of their best stuff has happened in this era, and I'm so proud of them for it. They're my band for life. And the best part is that they've still got a long career ahead of them. I can't wait to see what they bring us next.

I went to a bookstore today and found this Brazilian comic book:

This was weird. Was just writing a check and after dating it today’s date (Tre’s birthday) I noted the check number and it was 1039!
