Feel free to investigate & keep the findings. I’m grossed out enough.

The new hair looks great on him as he pretends to age and the top is long enough to flop around when he's playing. I thought there would've been a few more Billie and Kevin moments, but hopefully they'll come.

I think the first album/EPs (and Kerplunk too really) grow on you. When I first listened to the early stuff the lower recording quality was very noticeable and jarring compared to the high quality production of the later stuff and it distracted from everything else about the songs and didn't sound good. Plus the songs are rather simple so they sounded quite samey at first. I couldn't imagine ever wanting to listen to it as much as later albums. But with repeated listens I stopped noticing the difference in recording quality, and I started to notice the good stuff about the songs and nuances between them instead and grew to love them. I think there's some really good music and lyrics there, cute and heartfelt love songs, some very thoughtful stuff for such young kids on songs like 16 or Road to Acceptance, and some really nice riffs and guitar solos.

Yeah, as a woman, I can attest to that not being a bra. 😬 No wonder he's disgusted by it! Anyways... question: How the hell does Billie look like he just stepped out of the Nimrod era? That was almost 20 fucking years ago! Why do you do this to us, Billie?

Yeah Billie and Kevin have been surprisingly modest so far. Maybe they thought it was getting too gimmicky. These shows are very businesslike. They sound great, Billie knows all the words, he’s not stretching Neat, Neat, Neat out to a strange fifteen minutes. Way less wild and loose than last tour but still great performances. We’ll see how the SoCal shows go. For Body Bag last night he lay down on the stage to sing it while a fan held the mic over his mouth from above. Reminded me of the Philly show when he had to sit down from the heat. His hair is perfect. Short back and sides and long and floppy on top is my favorite. It’s like 21CB red stripe pants era but without the blonde. I hope he keeps this for GD.

Another cute B/K moment at the end of Cult Hero (third slide).

What happened to him? He used to put them on his head 😢

Slide 7 is hilarious. He’s so turned off by that bra...

The only Billie and Kevin moment that I have found so far from last night

Group derp (well, except for Jeff. Damn it Jeff).

Let's talk about last nights gig..

He probably saw my lost and found poster and took it seriously.

" ruled so much that ..." What? Tease.😋

Weird to feel him up like this tbh.

The venue livestreamed the entire show last night. I didn’t get to sleep until 3:30am 😴 First photo 😍 Body Bag on the floor ❤️

Yeah, maybe the Billie/Kevin stuff was a bit gimmicky. And I've been really impressed by Billies performances the last two nights considering how few gigs he's played since the Longshot tour ended last year. Hopefully we'll get a dorky live stream from the Longshot Instagram of the boys goofing around. Click on the Instagram post to open it up- copy the web address for the post -paste it here.

We should make some of those tier lists for all studio albums and then we'd see what's a popular opinion or not. I did mine a while back 😬

Just to chime in, first off we have no Dookie without Kerplunk! The album really is the first defining moment for Green Day and it seems like they had really found their identity on Kerplunk! Kerplunk! has great songwriting but it's more of a punk effort I would say. It was released independently with low cost production and there's a ton of energy on the record. If I had to compare what they were doing on the album to another band I'd probably say it's similar to The Buzzcocks. Dookie is different and although it's still very much a punk rock record there's still moments on the album that very much make it a big rock record too. Between '87-95 if you threw the Longview bassline at any major label rock band they'd all take it. That bassline is not something you'd get on Kerplunk! When I Come Around is somewhat of a departure as well. It's a very unique song and while it holds rhythmic roots in punk rock it's a fusion with other styles as well. You also see some fusion with Pulling Teeth and Sassafras Roots. I would have to say both albums are Top 5 albums for me. Although I'd say Kerplunk! loaded the bases for Dookie to hit the grandslam. I think I may have stated on here before I really believe these two albums are the closest two albums in their discography. Like if you had to pick 2 albums that would become siblings these 2 would be the ones. Although I'd have to say after these two AI and 21cb have that dynamic as well.

That wasn’t a bra apparently... I'm okay with him not wanting to touch it. Different angle:

Billie's reaction to that bra is cute and so hilarious...love it!

Billie looks so tiny on that crowded couch.

Billie's current hair reminds me of what he had near the end of RevRad, without the gel/sweat. It changes him quite a bit and fits him so well. I really love how it looks on the back. It brings out his Italian side too This as a bonus

I never really had that reaction with the production on those records. At the time I got into that stuff there was a huge wait period because there was some dispute with Lookout records. Before I actually downloaded the tracks I actually saw the songs being played in those old live videos between 1990-1993 so I could already sing along to the songs and I just came to expect lower quality from the songs at that time. Not to mention I also was listening to Operation Ivy too so I just got used to the whole Lookout Records sound and vibe. I remember those reissues were two of the most anticipated albums of the year for my group of friends at the time. We had a blast first spinning the 1039 compilation for the first time.

It took them awhile to warm up the first time around. Hopefully they realize they don't have as much time to warm up now. @Scumbag On A Mission What @RedundantIdiot said is the way if you're on a computer; if you're on a phone, hit the three dots next to the account name and hit copy link. I think I'm the only one who hates his hair. It's better at the shows when it gets sweaty and messy, but I'll never be a fan of it being short on the sides and back.

Yeah that's not a bra . I think it's kind of regular underwear just with thin double straps at the sides

I love this 💚 Perfect.

What is it? A sports bra? A jock strap?

I enjoy Kerplunk more because the songs have not been as overplayed.

He is...repulsed..by something?! What will come next - washing his hands?

I’m dead. Holy shit.

Yes to the hair - that’s what I’m talking about!! Short on the sides, long and messy on top. Thanks Billie! ❤️❤️❤️ (Re @The Bellie I actually didn’t like his hair in South America because it was too short all around and looked too conservative for him. The two hairstyles to me are nothing alike)

How dare you do this to me when i'm at work - trying to remain professional and not grin at the screen or drool on my keyboard - and I don't have access to a cold shower!

😂😂😂 I want to poke it too. 😬 I will be mindful of future profile pics to make sure it’s still poke-able.

I really like that hairstyle on Billie (is Kevin using the same stylist?, lol ) I can't wait to see the pictures and videos from these gigs

@DadBod Anytime you post, I want to poke your profile pic. (That's going to look weird if you ever change your pic to, say, an eel or something.)

I’m loving this less perfected pompadour style 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 messy and sophisticated. Damn he looks fucking good. the “sorry about last night” patch cracks me up 😂

Billie's hair looks so fucking good in this post: Short but still long and messy on the top. His wild curls are just so damn adorable. Ugh, why does he have to be so perfect?!😭

How?! How does he look so amazing?!!! He looks like AI era Billie, yet it was only 3 years ago! More from the same event:

Pretty boi 😍

I so far haven't been able to get floor tickets for a GD show, so I'm hoping this coming tour will be my chance! Seats are nice because you're guaranteed a permanent spot, but I really want to be able to see them all up close. I've seen Billie up close twice, but never with the whole band at a huge concert. Of course, I'll take as many opportunities as I can to be near Billie!

R.I.P. Apple’s iTunes: Remembering the Best, Worst and Wackiest Moments A failed Green Day anti-piracy ad and a forced U2 album are among most iconic events in the history of the now-retired iTunes https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/apple-itunes-boldest-wackiest-moments-844112/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post+apple+itunes+boldest+wackiest+moments&utm_content=later-2456869

GD's fanbase has shrunk over the years, but when I saw them it was good to see so many people from kids all the way up to people 70+ years old at the gig. It seems to me that some people who were in their teens/early 20's when Dookie came out are taking their own kids to see GD as two of the fans that came on stage looked about 12 years old. My Dad has always said ''a great band is one that has people from all ages at their concerts''.

Reminded me again that Green Day have a pro shot video of the London FBHT show (which includes Highway 1 and every other song) kept all for themselves. A three camera shoot. And they've definitely watched it too because when I met Kevin he told me they did Highway 1 is so great! I understand them leaving it off though because they wanted to do the authentic traditional 12 song (6 on each side) record thing and also it's very similar to Broadway lyrically. I guess it was one or the other. Highway 1 existing gives me a reason to listen to the original 6 song EP with the film clip intros included which is always awesome.

And Highway 1 😍😍😍

Omg the surprise sax is the best part! Love Pieces of Truth
