You're "watching" a Hallmark movie while catching up on GDC and only look up when one character complained that the HS had removed his Green Day sticker from his former locker!6 points

The variety of the music is what I love about 21CB. You go from KYE to Peacemaker (funky, gypsy beat) to Last night on earth. LIKE HOW, Billie Joe. HOW?!3 points

I finally realized why 21st Century Breakdown is my favorite Green Day album. It's not only filled with relatable lyrics, it's got the best music of all GD's albums. ♥️3 points

You only hurt the ones you love 💕 Funny I was just watching a little clip today where he said he leaves skid marks on his guitars and he beats the shit out of them2 points

Anyway, he does wear those type of pants on purpose 😅 I agree, he must be. I definitely don't find it that small though (I mean, from what's visible like that ). In proportion with the size of his body! Since we are talking about Billie enjoying himself, I can't resist bringing these back2 points

I need to give it a full one-row listen again (but it's not my personal best, although one of the best. There are songs i'm crazy about on there but overall too depressive for my neurotic ass)1 point

It isn't so much a joke as a fact as he's got it out on stage multiple times . But there's nothing wrong with it, and since he's proudly shown it off to millions of people I think he must be happy with it!1 point

You are incorrect, the timeline i posted is fact. Ugh, just trying to help. i am trying to debunk some of the incorrect info out there . Before he got his own modded amps he used a JCM 900 live. As for the pedal, the Dookie preset (all the way left on the blend) it ships with is 100% a match to the settings on Billies amp for the Meat side (all the way right on blend) the gain knob straight up and down is where we set the se lead . I designed the pedal with mxr so i know... but set it where you like it, there are no rules! live, 95% of the show the guitar goes straight from the wireless to the two heads into two cabinets on the back of the stage and are blended into the stereo sound through the pa. Only when he switches to clean or “mid” we use the cae 3+ to drive the power sections of the same two amps and cabs. Think intros to American Idiot Minority etc... Any other questions? bill1 point

I’m not gonna post it in the speculation thread because it’s really just a random thought. Punk rock holiday, a really cool punk rock festival in Slovenia (one of the coolest festival in Europe I would say), just announced the presales for the next summer edition. The announcement post ends with “Welcome to paradise”. Probably it’s too soon for the next summer festivals planning, and maybe it would not even be a big enough venue, so most probably this is nothing, but my first thought went there I would love to see them playing in that context The post is here:1 point

I don't think it's meant to be dumb but rather to show what kind of feelings (or impulses) Billie may have through sexuality, in a probable context of alcohol, maybe drugs, the whole rock n rock thing that he lets show, as well as showing that it's also in that precise context that he sought for that sexuality. Fuck Time does sound willingly goofy in a way, and there's a lot of violence on his part, but it's like stating the way he feels in his guts when wanting to have sex (in a particular context). Apart from the fact he expresses how sex can contain violence, FT goes less deep than in other songs, but if anything it's a good song about sex lol. Good song to start Dos. The result of tackling the subject of sex throughout the whole of trilogy songs is some violence (on himself and on the object of the desire), through the tone and the words chosen, especially in Fuck Time, Makeout Party, Lady Cobra, and also Wow That's Loud, and Stop When the Red Lights Flash, as for Dos. But there are lot of other examples. In Wild One he expresses more feelings of fascination, there's less violence, and he says "hello" after saying "my mind is going to blow" as to say "now that I'm fucked up I can come to you" and otherwise he maybe wouldn't. In other songs he also expresses desire even without a clear mention of sex or drugs (that is how I interpret Baby Eyes for instance, and there the result is also lighter and goofier). In Nightlife and even more, Oh Love, he says how he needs a particular person (someone he's got to hold on to) or wishes to fall in love but not in a way that will last (in Oh Love, because his heart is "on a noose" and needs someone just not to fall off the cliff). There it's not real love (the video is criticized but I think they wanted to be cliché because he was talking about that exact sort of sex, and "love"-seeking context). I think it may be the same theme in Stay The Night, and also in Brutal Love, at least one of the themes covered in that song, "bad sex" used like a remedy for his "troubled mind". "How low is this brutal love" may be "what do I really put in that love - too low to be real love" (I say that but when I listen to that song, and I do very often, I do feel love out of it just because of the beauty and intensity of the feelings expressed and the music. And I guess some of us could say our Brutal Love is Billie and it's of course real love lol but as desperate as the desperation he expresses in that song.) So the whole sex references throughout the trilogy are not just sex for the sake of it. He expresses everything he puts in it (and I'm not saying it's necessarily a desire devoid of any feeling as opposed to real love all the time, but he expresses how the desire can be very mental and heartache-related). There are other trilogy songs where the subject is rather love (Stray Heart, Missing You, Sweet 16) and others when it's even something else. Idk I guess I'm in the receptive age for that shit but I really do love listening to the trilogy over most of other GD stuff on a daily basis. I don't even feel like I'm listening to "songs about sex" when I do, it's much more than just that. It's raw but complex, down-to-earth (sometimes to the point of cliché but it makes it relatable) and overall very sensible at the same time. I also like that he could express all these darker sides of him and deliberately linking it to sex. That's just how it is for him and I love the honestly there (well, and the sexy vibes too, for all there is!)1 point

I refuse to click now on any of their stories, but did anyone else the latest Metalhead headline? Something like Photo of Billie joe Armstrong kissing friend leaked”. It’s only his IG hugging Tre! 😂😂😂1 point

I think Fuck Time is hilarious. It's clearly written to be stupid and ridiculous and that really comes through. It's just Green Day being dumb shits.1 point

Everyone has their take on it but I'm definitely not bothered by all the sex references in the trilogy, at least not anymore. I'd say Billie's way of talking and singing about sex has made me move on on that subject that was not obvious for me at first (I had a fucked up teen period). @I'm_An_Idiotic_Cat_Lover if you're eleven it's perfectly normal if you're not comfortable with these subjects By the way I love your profile picture, well done!1 point

Maybe it's just 'cause it's late at night but I'm listening to A Hard Day's Night and I am finding it fucking hilarious how utterly, shamelessly Hold On is a rework of I Should Have Known Better, every time the harmonica comes in I start laughing.1 point

What account this talking about? Hahaha this sounds like Mike tried to use Billie's card and then got all Karen about it1 point
