You mean Green Day will be the focus of the winter?

Has anyone tried reminding Green Day that they're putting out an album next month?

It's too bad the concept of a b-side is going the way of the buffalo. Would really love to hear some of the tracks that didn't make FOAMF

Soon ™

Do I need to change my avatar?

I think the Chorus of the next single is "hockey is the best sport / we hate Bratwurst

Oh Yeah

Our favorite gremlin taking pics of his boyfriend on stage Tuesday night: his scrunchie face is too cute!

I honestly like Billie's looks at the Longshot performance better than the New Years Rockin' Eve one. I think his hair is prettier when it's down rather than spiked up away from his forehead. Don't get me wrong, he looks stunning either way, but I feel like his appearance radiated more beauty at the Longshot show. I mean, just look at him! 🤤

Holy lord. I’m ded kevin alert @Montclare & @jengd

Golf begs to dream and differ from the hollow lies.

A few days ago I was with my little cousin who always used to claim that he hates GD, and he was playing songs from his phone and I noticed he had a Dookie guitar pick in the back of his phone case. So I was like "why tf do you have that? I thought you didn't like GD" and he was like "oh I just found it somewhere" which is clearly not a justification for keeping a guitar pick of a band you supposedly don't even like in the back of your phone case for everyone to see lmao. So I got suspicious and kept asking him about it until he finally admitted that "GD have one good song" and just after he said that, Basket Case started playing on his phone and he started singing along to it! He's making progress lmao, I FEEL LIKE A PROUD PARENT

Good point I miss b sides. Now when singles get released to streaming sites and wherever it’s just the song and nothing else. That was a great way to get outtakes.

My friend constantly teases me about Billie saying he has a big head, which fair, that's true. But she keeps going and going. When we saw them live she kept making comments like "I couldn't see the rest of the band because of Billie's big head." She only does it because she knows I think he's hot

Gremlins also work their way in to your heads and you can’t not think about them and well... 😍 Billie is a gremlin

That is accurate... perfect description. He is very cute but also a little gremlin

Oh Kevin giving Billie a new year kiss before his wife lmao

I never noticed any particular scent from Billie (last night or in July), but at the July PD show, Kevin's hair smelled like coconut.

Just popping in quickly to say my Billie/Kevin heart is happy and Billie's jacket was soft. 🙂

Well it would have been worst if Green Day had signed a partnership with Soccer. Probably the worst sport on the planet.

As a songwriter I can say your approach to each song can change. Sometimes you want to go deep into something and other times you may want to scratch the surface. Sometimes you want to go deep but you may feel like you're overdoing it. That's why I felt like Uno as a standalone album was a perfect next step from 21cb. There were some moments lyrically I felt were quite weak but some of the most simple moments were presented well. It gets harder as you get older cause now people are judging your age and you already have such a huge background of other lyrics. Do you repeat yourself? Do you get more deep to the point where it's not effective anymore? One person can only have so many experiences to write about. I don't know what it will be like in 20 years when I'm Billie's age and possibly have another 100 songs behind me. I can't imagine what that's like at GD's level. For me I've been more observant and I may write about something in someone else's life or I see a really cool painting that's inspiring I'll bring it to life musically and lyrically.

Our president loves them.

Please, no. Who even still has energy for this shit

The criticism of these new songs is far more than "It doesn't sound like dookie/AI so I don't like it". It sounds like there's been less effort put into it. FRA sounds like it was written in 5 minutes

Sh... don’t wake Billie he’s still sleeping off New Year’s 😄

How's everyone expecting FOAM to do when it's released? Not too optimistic as there doesn't seem to be any hype at all

Looks so cute with that red beanie lol

I mean, to me it's inaccurate because I associate "gremlin" with "ugly". But if you have a different idea of gremlin such as just generally cute and mischievous, then it can work. Because he is most definitely an adorable troublemaker. But also smokin' hot.

I spent New Years with my friends and we talked about a lot of stuff, including our tastes in people. None of them like Billie (their fucking loss), but I did get another good anecdote. This time, one of my friends said he looks like "a little gremlin". I actually thanked her because that's not one I've heard before and is actually pretty hilarious, if inaccurate. Just thought I'd share that here because it made me laugh.

Some more nice pictures, especially the 2nd slide

I told her to spill the details... but really, @Montclare, what did he smell like?

Those two must never be separated 💕

See, football got the Superbowl, but when it comes to hockey... baby got the HYPERbole ...sorry that was an awful joke

I'm so happy with the pictures and videos from last night. I think we're in for a real treat this year. And I hope Kevin remains with GD, I've loved his performances with GD so far.

Hawt damn!

You forgot the most important part: "CHA CHA CHAAAA"

Curling has been the biggest competition for sleeping pills Kick your leather balls to the ground you are a liar

I honest to god put it on every Friday when I get home from work and am getting out the wine glasses. It works wonders.

A Green Day hockey jersey does sound pretty cool 👀

👀 Does this mean "Oh Yeah" is gonna be the next single?

Rev Rad was released though when that excitement was happening. We're still a month and a few days away. Let's see what happens in that time.

I mean, seeing as 99 Revolutions was centered on an actual movement, I think that gives it a lot more depth than FRA right from the get go. (of course, whether or not it really is his 'best writing' is an opinion that's completely subjective ) I remember this one interview where BJA was saying that every song has to come from the same place--whether political/personal/fun/angry/etc, it should come from the same place as a love song, something like that. Not that I'm putting something like Nightlife on the same pedestal as something like Restless Heart Syndrome, do not even attempt to go there 🤦‍♀️ (after all, I just said that I think that 99 Revolutions has more depth than FRA lol) but it's fair to assume that they put a lot of love/effort into the majority of the songs that they put out... imo that's why everything's got that Green Day energy whether it was written in 5 minutes or over the course of 5 months. As someone who enjoys both FRA and KYE, and finds them low key similar, personally I think FRA would've had a better reception if it was louder, a lil faster --> more in your face like KYE was for me. To me it seemed like it had the potential to be as much as a banger as KYE, something that would make an audience jump and also totally get me going and driving at least 10mph above the speed limit 😂 if it was more like that, but that's just a personal opinion from someone who doesn't hate/criticize KYE And let's be honest, if BJA's lyrics were as blunt/finger-pointing/specifically critical/etc as something like the Dead Kennedys, people would complain even more than they do about the songs/lines that are vague and open to interpretation on a huge scale... imo I think that's part of the beauty of a line like "We live in troubled times" because it could mean extremely different things to everybody and still strike a deep chord close to home, y'know? From this perspective, it may be slightly arguable that KYE has deeper lyrical creativity than FRA, even. Like the chorus of FOAM--I mean the lyrics--whether it was written in 5 seconds or 5 weeks, it hits me every time on a personal scale with its relatability, if you will. Idk. There's a red line under "relatability" so either I spelled that wrong or it's not a word, 😅

I don’t know if anyone is a fan of Tame Impala, I am. Anyway, he has an album coming out in early February also, and he just released his 3rd single from it. Again, it’s the standard model these days. Hoping GD is prepping a release very soon as well.

Of course you can dislike these songs and music style, but I don’t see any factual element to say that there’s much difference in terms of song complexity from many other GD songs. RevRad, 99 revolutions, KYE are just a few examples of very linear songs, with basic lyrics, and from a certain point of view even less creativity than FRA. Not saying they are worse or better, that’s very much up to your personal taste, but If we talk about GD songs that could have been written in 5 minutes the catalogue can be very long.

That’s an extraordinarily good ass shot of Billie.

These pics so cute, especially 4th slide and Billie’s smile 🖤

@Montclare Im disappointed in the fangirls for not asking what he smelt like.

@Beerjeezus HOCKEY

Via 80s insta stories today:

I agree, dig the velvet jacket and I think he looked like his 21CB era self. So, like ten years ago lol
