This definitely belongs in here:

I think this photo that was originally in color in the Q interview got overlooked and now it's popped up on Tumblr and I guess it's an opportunity to share it

I love that Dom Howard from Muse shared this

This pop up on my phone screen today from YT notifications 🤦🏼‍♀️

Whenever I get my interview with Green Day I'm just gonna sit on the phone and wonder what faces Billie is making on the other end

New pic of Billie here from Jonathan Weiner:

I don’t think we’ve seen this one yet:

Trilogy needs more love. There are plenty of choice cuts from those albums that would be great live...like Kill the DJ 🤣 and bring back Brutal Love! When they closed 99 Revolutions tour with it I was over the moon!

I want a whole album of songs like Bang Bang.

I love how a bunch of great singers in a room can blend so badly.

A hits tour wouldn't be so bad if they changed up the hits. I said after the RevRad tour I wouldn't go to multi shows if they didn't change the setlist but with the prices this tour I couldn't afford more than 1 anyway.

I resent that they're doing a godawful tour designed to milk us so I'm not going to these shows on principle but at the same time I'd like to go to their shows and give them all my money, just not under these terms. I want to punch whoever came up with this lol

God, I resent this so much.

Ok it's very strange. This night I dreamed that Billie Joe was in my bed (all clothes on 👍) and I told him to get off because it's my girlfriend space. The thing is when I'm dreaming, I talk. So my girlfriend ask me this morning why I was screaming Billie Joe name during the night 😂

Pretty good strength and balance for a 13 month old

His floof is bigger than his head.

Do a FaceTime and if you're lucky he'll be in bed drinking coffee 😉

At this point I don't remember what I have and haven't seen and on so many of them they're sat on the same sofa!

I want a whole album of songs like Sugar Youth.

Same belt buckle that he's been wearing lately?

Wow I think all the neighborhood dogs started howling 🤣

hmmm no I would rather a smaller price - headline show with an Aussie support act. If Brisbane didn't get a date I probably wouldn't travel for Hella Mega.

@UNICORN VOMIT 1. King for a Day 2. King for a Day 3. King for a Day 4 King for a Day 5. King for a Day 6. King for a Day Encore: 1. Youngblood sung by special guest, Aerosmith

Every time I listen to Graffitia I feel like there's a whole story buried in this wonderful (and too short!) song I want to know more about. Can I have a full concept album that takes place in Graffitia please?

the chins!!!

This gif is pretty fitting for Billie, on his birthday in his consecrated zodiac year and I know this is worthy of a 8 year old but

Why is that off topic - I love how he says flesh in brutal love 🥰

And he has a huge head.

From Tyla Yaweh's IG story:

I'm listening to the 1998 acoustic session from KALX radio and I either forgot it exists or I never heard it, but anyway, I'm absolutely freaking out. this is incredible edit: this version of Jinx really makes it stand out as the sad "I'm a bad person to have a relationship with" song and I prefer it to the album version (that never really worked for me)

Jesus Christ that had to take 4 hours, 5 if Billie was generous with the heyhos

Putting this one here because Mike is on it too: And I'm amazed no-one has put this one in here yet:

The 21st Century Breakdown Tour had some of the best setlists (including Costa Rica which was the longest show GD ever played: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2010/estadio-ricardo-saprissa-san-jose-costa-rica-bd57542.html)

Probably found it digging in his closet for that Slugger shirt 😂😂

In honor of his birthday, I'm bringing back my favorite pic of him from his last birthday! 🥰

Don't think I've seen this photo before

Add Welcome to Paradise, Waiting, Minority, She, Longview, Burnout etc - there are enough well known songs to at least change it around.

^ This right here. I'm in the same boat. When I was watching some videos I took during the club tour, part of me was kind of bummed I wasn't going to see them this year. But I hate this Hella Mega tour. And I couldn't really bring myself to pay so much money when I knew I had to sit through three other bands and I could guess what Green Day would play. Plus, I hate the venue, so I sat this one out.

mine are more like get in my bed Billie or stop snorting coke off my ass crack Plane

Classic "Billie raises his eyebrows" pose

Piece here from Ultimate Guitar about Billie taking people onstage: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/green_day_frontman_explains_why_he_takes_people_from_audience_onstage_to_play_guitar__how_eddie_van_halen_influenced_it.html Green Day Frontman Explains Why He Takes People From Audience Onstage to Play Guitar & How Eddie Van Halen Influenced It "You never know what you're gonna get," Billie Joe Armstrong says. During an appearance on WMMR, Green Day singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong talked about the band's routine of bringing up people from the audience onstage during its live shows to jam some guitar and sing. Green Day has a new studio album out titled "Father of All Motherfuckers," released on February 7 as the follow-up to 2016's "Revolution Radio." When the interviewer said, "I'm wondering about the process of that. You do it almost every show; can you judge who can play your guitar or sing a song as opposed to those who are going to completely fail?", Billie replied (transcribed by UG): "You never know what you're gonna get. Either way, if someone can't play - sometimes you get someone that is just a complete shredder, and the crowd goes absolutely wild, and then you get someone that can barely put their hands on the damn thing, and still people kind of go nuts over it because it's in the spirit of connecting with everybody/ "I remember being a kid and seeing Van Halen play. I was, like, 12, and Eddie would come out, and I'd go, 'God, it would be so cool to be up there and do what he's doing.' "So I was always keeping that in mind, subconsciously that's basically what ended up happening, breaking down the barrier between the band and the audience." You were playing 'Jesus of Suburbia' and you brought this kid up on stage, that's not an easy song to play... "It gave me the chills, that was so cool. It's like what more do you want out of life than that? Hearing that kid, just, pure joy. "You know man, that's why I got into this shit, you know? Music gets you high, and you could just tell that that kid was stoned out of his brain because of rock 'n' roll music. It's great." So this 10-song album, 'Father of All Motherfuckers,' is available on CD and vinyl. The record was originally 16 songs, but you cut it down to 10. I think at 10, it's the shortest thing in Green Day history. I'm wondering, why you cut the six songs? "I think we were trying to come up with, like, sequencing a record is one of the hardest parts about making a record, so I had 16 songs, and I was putting them in sequence, and I was having a difficult time. "So then I was, like, 'I need to just pick my top 10 favorites that I know that I know are gonna go on.' And I was, like, 'That's the record right there, those are the 10 songs.' "And it's sort of a departure of what we've been doing in the past because we've done rock operas, we've done concept records, we did three albums with 36 songs on them and stuff like that, so it's the shortest album I think we've made since [1995's] 'Insomniac.'" You said it's, like, 'All the songs were talking to each other and it felt right'? "Yeah, we wanted to go through, like, the history of rock 'n' roll, so we loved anything from Motown to Little Richard, Chuck Berry, to all the glam rock with Mott the Hoople, and T-Rex, Joan Jett, so yeah, we just kind of wanted to really let our influences just shine a little bit more." You borrowed an actual vocal from 'Do You Want to Touch' me from Joan Jett, and on that song 'Oh, Yeah.' You actually take a piece of her and the Black Hearts and insert it. "Oh, yeah. I always thought someone should sample that song just because the beat is so good, and I never thought I'd ever get into sampling for some reason, I just thought it was probably outside of my ability. "And then I just did it and I wrote the song around it. We're such huge fans of Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, so it's just the fun thing to do, it's like peanut butter and jelly."

Happy birthday Billie! You are lovely in every way possible 🖤
