Look who’s back!! (Screenshot just taken - see time stamps)

Didn’t know where to put this exactly, but funny story that is Billie/80 related.

I thought it was the Canal 2009 show. I'll have to go through it later. In the meantime, let's look at this pretty boy.

I actually have made a gif of that one before. Lol! I just didn't post it. How about these too? 😍 Such a floofy booooyyyyy!!! And not floofiness, but I came across this last night for the first time in awhile when I was looking at pictures (as I do every night before I go to bed. Haha! ) and I just about died. Don't know why, but this one just particularly bowls me over right now. It's pure sex. Look at that face!

Since we're discussing Billie's lovely luscious locks, I'm going to contribute a few photos of "maximum floof" Billie: He's such a pretty little puffball.

I guess he was just trying to lead in to talking about the new album instead of going straight to it. I think Billie was just slightly caught by surprise because he was expecting to talk about Rev Rad, and he's always a bit on guard when talking about the trilogy because it wasn't that well received and iHeart and everything.

And here's one of the floofiest performances.

You forgot this one.

That's it! I knew I recognised that moustache twiddle

I'm really curious about this too. I get: All along ???? my life On my way tonight ????? tonight Please don't go away tonight Which I'm sure is wrong anyway... so if anyone has figured it out pls share. Right? I don't even know who this loser is. sorry I had to

How did you resist the urge to sing "can't quite tell just what it means to me?"

Made this yesterday after I was just watching Awesome As Fuck again. So hot! 😍 I love it when Billie runs his hand(s) through his hair. It's from the BOBD footage. Here's a couple more really good hair ones. Great arms in this one too. 🤤 EDIT: One more.

^^^I love that song - underrated.

Cool idea in theory but in reality I remember the buzz over Uno but then Dos and Tre were overshadowed by the postponed tour dates and the confusion over what was going to happen with the tour for people who had tickets.

@solongfromthestars I don't have mine in a sharable place..... We tried to go back and re-do it, but a homeless lady was pretending to be on the phone.. We waiting 15 mins then left! Accepting our first attempts would have to do. #losers

As far as I remember it's just Mike who's uncomfortable with the trilogy. I think it was in Kerrang (don't remember which issue) he said something like "it will take a while to reconcile with THAT ex-girlfriend." But Tre said he felt people would appreciate it in 10 years time. I assume Billie's fine with it since he's played the songs and remixed Fell For You recently, as well as saying this when asked if he regretted it: “Oh no. The only thing I would have done differently is I would have put all three records out at the same time. I wouldn’t have staggered them. That was the only thing. But that was just this crazy time for us. Just throw down some songs and it’s all about the moment. Don’t think, just play. Don’t think, just write. If it’s flawed in any way, it’s because it’s unfocused. But I think that’s the beauty of it too.” (source - is this a GDC member's photo? I don't remember, sorry!) And I love it so I'm glad

Mmmmmmmmmmm arms!!!! Side note: his little "armstrong" tattoo cracks me up whenever I see it.

For sure - but going back to my original post - if rehab didn't happen the trilogy tour would have been a huge success because the songs they were playing live were fantastic. I remember Let Yourself Go at Soundwave was a cracker😋

^^^ Nice. I was hoping for a post but instead he changed his profile pic back to the drawing of Spazzy with the headphones 🎧

If you think that's bad, I'm squealing that you got to do it 😂

I agree. I think they naturally don’t want to revisit their low point with all that surrounds that time and regarded Revrad as a fresh start. They usually seem to want to move on and not keep revisiting the past in any thing they do.

Is it not East Jesus Nowhere, he did a variation of preening before singing about his Sunday best 😂 ?

Was at the register at TKMax today & the assistant said to me - its good to finally see an adult wearing a rock shirt. I wasnt really sure what she meant by that but anyways my reply was - its the only shirts I own😕

I did too. What a way to start off an interview. Maybe if they started off talking about RevRad then went into the trilogy...

I feel like they don't want to talk about the trilogy in that interview

They talk about Uno Dos Tre some in this interview: (starts the conversation)

The only negative I can remember was Mike talking about how they weren't the easiest songs to want to play (because of Billie's bad times when they recorded them and how he sang about it in them) but I think even then he said something about maybe revisiting more of them when more time had passed. I can't remember them saying anything negative about the direction of the music, just that they didn't have the best memories attached to the songs. Might've just missed it though.

My unpopular opinion: I love the trilogy! I've been a defender of these albums for awhile. I like that the band didn't overthink the songs or leave some on the cutting room floor. The albums collectively serve as Billie Joe's stream of consciousness. And the results, are quite revealing. The lyrical content is honest focusing on themes that people experience as they are getting older. Especially if you are a rock star with many vices at your disposal! Billie Joe was going through an interesting period in his life. He was partying with the cast of the AI musical, touring with Green Day and the FBHT, and taking lots of pills coupled with excessive drinking. Sounds exhausting for anyone, especially a guy in his late 30s with a wife and two kids! All of these complex issues culminated in Billie Joe writing songs at rapid speed. The lyrics on tracks like Fell for You, Missing You, and Stay the Night are fantastic, albeit a bit dark. Even darker, are songs like Lazy Bones, Lady Cobra, and X-Kid. Lyrical content aside, the band sounds like they're having fun! Not locked into a concept album, they were able to play and jam free of constraints. And they were debuting these songs for tiny audiences at surprise shows. It probably felt like they were back at Gilman. The musicianship was very tight and Green Day was "firing on all cylinders" as Mike Dirnt has said. Great solos from all the members of the band including Jason White. I can understand why Billie Joe doesn't always want to revisit these songs on tour. But it's a shame that some people view these albums as filler. It's just another chapter in the story of Green Day. And I look forward to many more chapters!

When the doctor prescribes you pain medication & says don't drive & all you think of is "May impair your ability to operate machinery"

I still think they could do an album this year. It's only March, they've got plenty of time!
