Billie has changed ''nothing says fuck you like a unicorn'' to ''Chicken lettuce under bacon'' on his Instagram profile

^God, Billie looks fucking incredible. I'm constantly baffled by him.

That was a heartfelt message. They're young and healthy, we can only hope they'll be all right.

Some random pictures from the last two shows:

He is so odd. 🥰

I love it when he does that sassy, hand on hip pose...and that hair! 😍

There is a Tight Wad Hill in Berkeley, overlooking the University field. The Armstrong boys have posted photos from up there watching games 🤗 Fair enough not the one he wrote about originally that I am aware of. But, one he knows about now! We went to all 3 Tight Wad hills just to make sure 😂

From last night:

I was just thinking about how much I love the song Whatsername. It's probably one of my favorite GD songs and my favorite song on AI and I wish they would play it more. I love the sadness and intensity of it and how it starts and ends so softly. Such a fantastic song!

Holy hell 🔥. A+ camera work

OMG!! The unicorn "tattoo" on mickey!!!!!!! 😂

Swmrs update.

A couple of weeks ago, I was packing a package that I found out was headed to Berkeley once I printed the packing slip ... Which printed as I was listening to Tight Wad Hill. I wonder if the post office the package was going to is near it 😄

Well, just finished watching the Kevin and Bean performance video and don’t really know where to start. I’ll just share this, it really need to be here. Enjoy 🔥🔥🔥🔥💥 oh, but should say, the thumbnail is not flattering!

Good thing that, in addition to an attraction to shiny trinkets, magpies and their relatives are well known for being extremely intelligent.

Damn it was also my 10 year anniversary of seeing them the first time on the 23rd. Totally brilliant show and so awesome to meet loads of GDCers that I'm still friends with today. Getting to see Green Day live with my sister was amazing but meeting everyone and the community spirit there made it extra special, I can thank GDC for that Will also be my 10 year anniversary of seeing FBHT on the 1st . I never would have been there if it wasn't for GDC and my Green Day friends (probably wouldn't have even known about it nor had the balls to go to London with no guarantee of a ticket without the encouragement and help of great people). It was the best show I'll ever see and I'll remember it forever.

"Mike Dirnt" just got autocorrected to "Mike Diva" and I was like no mate, that's Billie

It's my 10 year anniversary of first seeing Green Day too. Before 21st Century Breakdown was released I remember desperately searching for news about the Tubbies shows. I was really excited for everyone who had got there. The internet wasn't what it is now back then so it was a struggle to find things on places like Photobucket and Myspace. Then when I knew they were going to play 21CB in full at the Fox Theatre I started looking at the $1000 tickets on Ebay! Which of course was completely out of reach. There were no cheap flights then either and I couldn't take time off work or take my daughter out of school. So when I finally saw Green Day in Birmingham on 27 October it was just surreal. It was like I was dreaming - like it wasn't really clear and there was mist over it. When they played Give Me Novacaine I just completely freaked out because it was and still is one of my favourite Green Day songs! It was that and Homecoming that got me into Green Day. At the time I hadn't thought of looking up setlists and didn't expect them to play that at all. Me and my daughter were screaming "Christian's crying in the bathroom" at each other! I distinctly remember the toilet paper gun and Tre doing his "marching" beat in Minority and it being blown up on the screen. My daughter had bought a poster that I ended up holding and I was waving it around all night! That poster with all its creases is still on our wall. They were recording Murder City for greenday.com so we got to hear that as well. Then after the show Tre tweeted about creeping on fans going back to their cars and Billie about people having sex in the hotel. Everything was drenched in sweat. I'd had some new shoes on and danced so hard it ripped my toenails off and gave me blisters! There was blood everywhere too. I had to have bandages on my feet for the next few shows. Sorry if that's TMI! I can't find the other tweet from Billie - my computer just keeps giving up every time I try to go back that far! I don't know that anything can ever really top seeing them live for the first time after seeing them on Bullet in a Bible, because it was so magical. Although the icing on the cake was that we were then at the Halloween show in Manchester a few days later. I was buying merch before Green Day's set when my daughter shouted to me "mum, Prima Donna are playing Stop Drop & Roll!" And I shouted "that's not Kevin, IT'S BILLIE!" We literally ran and I nearly fell down the steps and knocked somebody's beer onto them! Then after all that time looking for news about the Tubbies, I actually got to see them. I never thought I'd ever, ever get to see the Foxboro Hot Tubs. Unreal. Just unreal. I remember that Glasgow was the first show of the UK leg and Billie had dyed his hair blond. It was so exciting and looking at the pics from the Glasgow show made me realise I was actually going to see them soon! Some pics: Please credit this blog if reposting these photos: https://www.mariagloriaharvey.com/blog

I can't wait until that gets sold as merch

I would love Still Breathing to stay on the setlist.

New photo from their recent stylist

When you’re typing a letter to a law firm and one of the names it is to is Pritchard and know that only other GD fans would understand without explanation.

I'm reading a serie of novels for teen/young adult. The main character mentions a bunch of punk bands she listens to through out the books. I was wondering why she never mentionned GD yet until I read pages 350-352 of book #6. I was like «Yes! That was about time!»

when you're watching a quiz seo and there's a question about the record for the longest ever sustained note, and you immediately think back to Milton Keynes 2nd night when BJA seemed to hole a note for about 5 mins. I remember everyone stopped playing and I saw Mike just look in BJ's direction laughing like 'wtf?'

...when all you think of when you see Trump use a word like “lynching” to describe his impeachment process is, “Baby’s got the hyperbole!!!”

I gave in and bought one the other week (it was one you could put in the microwave and use to keep warm!) I also saw this giant unicorn in the shop today - it must have been 3 feet 6 inches! And you know you're a Green Day fan when you see this and think of the Longshot!

^^^ Lol I just googled beanie babies to see what the fuck they are and the first one to come up was a unicorn. You know you're a GD fan when you realise you're eating turkey unicorns whilst wearing unicorn slippers, and can't help but immediately post about it on GDC with photographic evidence.

Think this one from NME is slightly different to the ones above:

When you do this to your sister's dogs. Charlie and Cooper must prefer GD's older stuff because clearly they weren't meant to be unicorns. Although Cooper, like many people here, seemed to finally accept his new friend.

You're reading your conference schedule rooming assignments and it says "LACC West 409" and your brain automatically adds "in your coffee maker" (fingers crossed the room doesn't change just so I can take a pic before/after the session)

It's quite a lot like Foxies imo, not only because of the 60's influence but also because of the rev-like descriptions and the aesthetic (I guess). Both Foxies and Longshot are better, but this is a decent continuation of the side projects and Dos. But yes, I must admit that I can't fully shake off feeling somewhat like "are they...okay?", despite the fact that I kind of enjoy the songs and believe that art should be judged independently but...I still can't fully get into the mood, most probably because this era gives me trilogy flashbacks.

When you see this photo from your holiday on your phone and think about GD and the Hella Mega Tour

@Thatsername I tried to quote you too but the new ios update has been a bitch on my phone. But speaking to Billie’s “new” party attitude, although I like the music and I would be cool with it all if it was just presented as “let’s all escape our troubles and dance” (because I totally feel like escaping these days too) I think I have the most trouble to the throwbacks to the Rev and booze and fuck it all and feel like a badass specifically knowing that this is a person post rehab. For that reason alone it doesn’t work anymore. It’s easier to get on board with a badass character and party with them if they appear consequence free, but it’s less fun when you know the fallout was dire and they were very public about being grateful to have survived it intact. It kills the mood and should make a person feel more cautious. At least it should unless you’re in complete denial or it’s all an act in which case for the first time he wouldn’t be behaving with sincerity and I don’t know which is worse.

Agreed. Lyrically, I'd say it's Billie at his most emotionally vulnerable, totally exposed. I wouldn't call that "safe".

Someone needs to setup a chart or spreadsheet or something to see if there’s a correlation between those who say Revrad was safe and those who don’t like FoAM so far, assuming a lot of their problem with it is that it’s so different 😂😂

@solongfromthestars Yes, yes, yes, yes! Every time I see the complaint about RevRad being "safe" I honestly don't get it. Sure, it may be Green Day doing what they do best and they don't do anything super out of left field, but I've never considered it a safe record. Totally agree with everything you're saying here.

I'd say Rev Rad is their most emotional album because of how straightforward it is. Maybe it's the second after Insomniac, but that's very different.

When you're reading something for work and read the word "uniforms" as "unicorns".

I would but I can't bear to part with old Rumpelstiltskin drinking his Starbucks I guess you know you're a Green Day fan when your potato art looks something like this!

When you think about Billie every time a french bulldog comes into your work. We have a regular named Bella and she's super cute and knows how to high-five and high-ten. Definitely one of my favorite customers!

When you're a bit lost in Lebanon but you still stop to take a photo of this

Hey there! I just got a tattoo of me singing Longview with Billie and I'm in love with it ♡

I thought that too, there were times his backup vocals were awful with Longshot, sure Billie must have noticed or someone close to them told him.

With Bang Bang as a lead single, I will never understand why they opened with KYE on Revrad, I think though it backs up the feelings of the Revrad era being safe, perhaps they had to really work at building their confidence in performing again.

Rest is a good song

I feel the same way. I’m glad that this tour with two other acts might force them to tighten the setlist a bit. I really have gotten to the point where I strongly dislike them dragging out almost every song. I just wanna hear the song! We don’t need a breakdown in the middle. That said, I do think this band’s interaction with the crowd is very special. No one is a better showman than Billie. They can keep the interaction, but just cool it with the monologues, laying down, excessive heyohs, etc.

HAR is such a banger...I don't care for the routine (even though the bored/falling asleep bit is cute), but the song absolutely needs to stay.
