I found the video of Billie telling the story of tattooing Ricky Wilson from Kaiser Chiefs. Getting tattooed by Billie sounds interesting

This chick could just be like, "hey, it's like picking out a puppy; he jumped right into my arms and I knew he was the one".

Fans have made this connection and I'm assuming he must have at least heard of it being from the Bay Area and a worldly guy and that it's most likely where he got the idea from, but he hasn't said anything about it himself. My guess would be it's mostly for aesthetic purposes (makes his bum look good and black goes with his outfits) plus the hanky code connection makes it a bit more cool and subversive, and those are the reasons why he went for the look. But someone should ask him about it in an interview . Kind of surprised no one ever randomly has.

The discussion has been brought to an end because it devolved into arguing and name calling, because personal lives were being speculated about, and because much of it is very far from "Random Green Day Thoughts". The post you want to respond to is composed of comments that are either about Jeff or off topic, and none of us wish to continue moderating a discussion that has led to trouble, so your option is to respond to it in a PM to The Bellie. Any more comments or questions on this, PM me or Fuzz. In order for the thread to get back on topic please don't respond to this post here.

That account has a very appropriate username for GDC haha

I think jumping into a person’s arms equals consent don’t you? 😉

Fixed that for you 😘

Well, who wouldn't just walk away with him?

I think generally speaking anything that Billie jumps up and eagerly offers to do should be cautioned against (remembering “Hey Chris, can I brand you with this?!”) 😂

If anyone stopped me I would just say I picked him up at the merch table. 😁Seriously the idea of going to a show and walking out with a band member like you’re shopping at the mall is hilarious.

Ngl he's more likely to be a sub than a gangster

When this is the sight you have from the first row, even I would feel capable to try and lift him up (how the hell can I be 12-13 cm smaller than this bean? ) Billie's reaction to fangirl kidnapping:

Billie's dressing room door at the St James Theatre:

^^^ That’s the other one I was thinking of. I’d be heading to my car 😂

This will always be one of my favorite hugs.

I wasn't sure where to put this but decided here was best. The Longshot is included in this Deb Frazin Photography's best of 2018 (first photo from the Redwood Bar show): They also posted this earlier this month saying it had been their best year yet (again from the Redwood Bar show): Happy New Year everyone!

I think he just likes to make people guess about him. Wearing the hankie (and he has to know about the code) gets people to talk and wonder. It’s provocative in the same was as when he wears a pin that says “number one cocksucker”. People go 🤔

Or on an Instagram live

I believe it’s to do with the handkerchief code. Though that may have just been a random thing I read somewhere. A black handkerchief in his right pocket would suggest he is an S&M bottom, which fits with some of the musical catalogue of the band very well.

In the Kerrang Staff's top 10 Albums of 2018 a couple of them listed the Longshot in their top 10 - article here: https://www.kerrang.com/features/the-kerrang-teams-top-10-albums-of-2018/ Also in the Results of the 2018 Kerrang! Readers' Poll the Longshot came in at No 4 in the category "Best Thing About 2018" - article here: https://www.kerrang.com/the-news/results-of-the-2018-kerrang-readers-poll/

I was thinking the same, he looks so cute but so upset on this one! I'm a little disappointed he changed, we may never know the mystery of the previous Instagram profile pic... the mustache guy Speaking of fans, I love when Billie opens his arms wide to the audience. He totally looks like "come to daddy!". What a lovely dork He looks so smol when this fan hugs him. He has to raise his shoulders a bit because she grabs him below them. Who wouldn't want to hold him like that in their arms?

Yes, Tre's kid is named after Billie's Chihuahua. That's friendship, man.

Imagine how amazing that would be as a first kiss story though

See this is the kind of thing that he loves to do to make people go 🤔 Apart from that “reveal”, I think getting a first tattoo by Billie would be traumatic.

No worries, I just thought it was funny to see that description in more than one place and pretty much joking about it being plagiarism. I did like it!

Now that's an interview I'll be keeping! 😂

Hey! The writer here. I'm sorry if you feel I plagiarised the line! I read it somewhere, (now I know it was the comment) and couldn't trace it back to the original source (it is kind of deep into youtube's trenches) and wanted to use that in the article. I apologise. Will contact the Youtuber and let him know. Hope you liked the article. Hey! Thanks for the pass, I guess. 😅 This was my first article for the college website. Hope it was worth the read. Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated.

a close (gamer) friend showed me this tonight. I don't think I've ever seen it. it's from 2008 Utada Hikaru does the music for the kingdom hearts games most know for the song simple and clean if this is in the wrong place feel free to remove or relocate

^^^ same! Hes such a smol potato ❤️

I appreciate you putting in a spoiler, but when I asked people to stop, I meant it. You guys can send each other a PM and talk all about the things you disagree with.

This has maybe been said before, but there are a lot of "Rocky" (movie) references in the GD family: Rocky, Billie's dog who passed away last year; Mickey = Rocky's trainer; Adrienne, Billie's wife & Adrian, Rocky's wife. Of course, none of them may be on purpose, especially not Adrienne, but it's still funny to observe. Apart from that, I love Mickey as a first name. I don't want to reignite the "debate" that's been going on in the last couple of pages, but just say this in general and also responding to @LaughingClock and @Billie Hoe (this is long so I put it in a spoiler). Other random thought: take a close look on Billie's polka dot tie (you can widely zoom on this pic) and you'll see that it's made in China, unfortunately (or fortunately as a big fuck you to Trump, who knows ?) I know, this is dumb because almost everything is made in China, but it's funny to see it for the tie

Billie's new profile pic on Instagram is adorable. He has the cutest little face I've ever seen.

Billie Joe's new profile picture

Billie has another new Instagram profile picture

It's impossible to look at this and not smile.

Billie and my sister kissed right next to me lmao. She doesn't even fancy him, so unfair

I think this could also be an influence. He definitely thinks being from Oakland is badass and I remember Cometbus mentioning how he dressed a bit like a Latin gang member and had a bike like one when he was younger lol, and Green Day like to make their own motorcycle gang etc. Probably would find wearing something reminiscent of gang culture kind of cool in the same way as wearing something reminiscent of BDSM culture . He might also not wear certain bandana colours having grown up when he did. I think it's most likely just because he likes black though haha.

If I was trying to do that, I would probably fall on the ground being not strong enough to support him. This would be an epic fail. Anyway, one of the cutest hug pictures is the one with the kid in Italy last tour. I can't find it right now.

Oh yeah I wasn’t saying for a fact just as a maybe cause he would been in school during the hey day of gangs schools there went overboard with gang psa’s and such I dunno was just an idea of maybe

This is Random Thoughts therefore not sure how we can go off topic, lol (with the notable dropping of the subject and person that was the problem before but so I guess I’m allowed to comment on this.) Yeah, I just think it’s amazing that you got that shot and/or found it and it had a “China” label that you noticed. That shit made me LOL. I sometimes forget how hardcore you guys are around here in your fandom! I love it. Too funny. Gangsters wear gang bandananas. I’d be highly surprised if it’s been influenced by that. If you wear any bandana in your pocket down near the beach here in LA where there are plenty gangs. more then Oakland, you better know what you’re doing and people that are not in gangs generally don’t wear any color bandana at the beach if you just want to be safe. Don’t get me wrong, wanna be gangsters wear colors and they get stomped for it. People, in general, in LA anyway, and there are bloods, crips, LA Kings, Outlaws, Hell’s Angels and every other gang on the map, people don’t wear bandanas because it’s a thing. At least not in any circles I’ve seen. Maybe there was some bandana color code for the punk scene I don’t know about but in general, hanging a kerchief is an independent move in a situation like Billie’s. It’s not common practice in Cali. Not to my knowledge and I’ve lived here since 2005. Pretty sure it’s just fashion. I suppose the S&M bottom stuff maybe. I’m not into bondage so I don’t know but doesn’t that mean he’s submissive?? Maybe it was once influenced by that and now it’s just his thing. Maybe after being a king all year, when he gets home he wants someone else to be Queen and he’s the bottom bitch. Haha. (By the way, that’s a pimp term. I don’t use the word bitch in reality...(I need disclaimers sorry.)

I followed the security guy that was looking with amusement at the tie, like "why does this guy have a tie hanging from his pocket?" I know my post was off topic, glad you liked it anyways, maybe you could respond to it in Random Thoughts, or in PM, I don't mind. Does someone know how did Billie first come up with the tie in his pocket? My mom was asking me the other day and I was like "uh.. I don't know"

I like that! I also like to use Green Day references when I can. Not as creative as that but my library pin is 1039 lol.

Anyone know why 24/96 digital masters of any pre dookie material, haven't been made available yet? It seems overdue for an HD lossless source. Considering that almost their entire catalogue is now out there in 24bit. What Tre said about the master tapes being fragile doesn't really hold up anymore. As I'm sure there's digital backups stored somewhere. I'd love to hear Kerplunk in 24bit, sometime haha.

I recently bought my self a chrome cast and google home for Christmas/birthday (birthday is today) I renamed the chrome cast to Cast of The CDN Girl (Canadian wouldn't fit) and my google home mini to Static Age (was on a 21CBD theme anyways) anyone else do this? feel free to share. (also if this is in the wrong place. I apologize and feel free to move or delete the post)

Not sure if you meant 2013 but that and the 2016 one can be found here: http://www.greendayauthority.com/articles/magazine/rollingstone/

I've issued a couple warnings now, drop the back and forth arguments trying to one-up each other. It's really lame for everyone else to read it.

Oh my god, lmao! I still get notes on this thing. It's my legacy and I didn't even make the comment! http://greendaystiel.tumblr.com/post/106769957743/holy-shit-i-cant-breathe
