Just for you @Montclare 😉 also, that smile of Billie’s 🥰

I'll give Lenny # 2 to this. Of course, we could just combine the two best things of the era.

Album: comes out Feb. 7 Green Day on Feb 8:

Fixed. 🙂

Let's celebrate his blondness and fluffiness! Yes, it's black here, but his floof is off the charts so I had to include it.

Also known on the family friendly radio as "hold him underwater till he suffocates and drowns" 🤣

I love it! I made a B/K calendar, and this is actually one of the pics for March! Along with other stills from the same video of Billie staring at Kevin's lips.

But was track 7 a ballad?

Mike has gone completely silent. I miss his weird stories.

Lenny >>>> everything else this era

Missing the boys so much . Got my fingers crossed that the Hella Mega tour happens, after a crappy 2019 I hoped seeing GD this year would make this year a happier one than last year.

Me too for all that skin and ink 😍

I’ve watched this at least three times lol cause it is so adorable to see they’re being weird and hanging together like bunch of teenagers. I wasn't into them at that time but it seemed like a really good era for them and also fans cause they seemed really genuine and even like friendly with the fans in some way especially through those live streams. Those two he went live from the backstage are my favorites too:

Even though it's so obvious that the lyrics to Stab are "pictures don't lie" I always get this image in my head of Shakira and I hear "hips dont lie" instead. Hips don't lie when you're front page news... And I don't even listen to Shakira lmao

I always hated the Rising part and only used it because for some reason (I can't remember) I couldn't just use RedWolf without adding something else to it.

How could I forget Kevin the boyfriend?! You’re right.

I miss them on social media. Even that's been lackluster and lame

Much appreciated. I'm still fangirling over my own photos!

I’m honestly sad that gdc is so dead these days... FOAM came out a month ago

I think about American Idiot on Broadway all the time. I was getting work done this morning and I got distracted by reminiscing about this fucking thing again! It was and probably always will be one of my most amazing experiences. Every time I'm in New York I go and stand outside the theatre and remember crying when the show ended. I even have a recurring dream about it returning to Broadway for a week with Billie as St. Jimmy and being back there looking at the American Idiot sign (not Frozen... it's Green Day's theatre! ) again. I'm such a fucking saddo, help It was a liberating experience though. I was in this big city on the other side of the world and that mirrored the show I had the privilege of keep seeing. There was no lining up or related drama. It would've been easy to abuse the lack of security but no one tried. They just enjoyed the show. We met so many kind and normal fans who weren't after anything more than seeing a life-changing album come to life as a Broadway musical. I'm so happy I have the theatre tattooed on me I still love the soundtrack but I do wish there was a version with Billie as St. Jimmy.

What has Mike done to deserve waterboarding?

Oh novacaine I

That's never gonna happen lmao. If Green Day reverts to being an opener the Foo Fighters will also be an opening act just on a different day of the festival Rock has really lost it's balls Billie Joe was right he just wasn't right in trying to imply or state that Green Day is gonna save it.

Singles are such a dated thing nowadays anyway. Anything they put on YouTube or streaming might as well be a single. I think "officially" it depends on what they send to radio stations.

Found this on reddit

Guaranteed way to get me to watch a soap opera for the first time

I think it’s obvious that they all were just having fun so but it’s kinda an unnecessary caption to write imo. It could make people suspicious even though they can guess that it’s not likely and just joking around but yeah no need to take it that seriously

You are not crazy. The "AYE" EXISTS.

I love you people dearly.

Billie Joe lives in catacombs and deals blood on the black market. Oh God, please let me escape the horrors of Billie Joe's mind! Let me get back on topic. It's been 30+ years since the horrors began. Let's see how things are going in Literal Green Day land in the lovely 20's.... Billie Joe is choking, being poisoned and losing his mind in blood and money. Oh joy! Dogs are being abused, liars are getting off work and young people are exaggerating! Does anything good ever happen to poor, poor Billie Joe Armstrong? He's an alien, which I guess isn't a negative thing. I wonder what planet he's from. On Sugar Youth, things get REALLY bad. Billie Joe is fighting in a civil war inside a boom box and he doesn't have The Cure. He's dying of a fever, but that's the least of his worries. Because being on fire is his most urgent problem. I'm surprised he even knows he has the shakes. WOW, I'm having way too much fun taking Green Day literally. Currently reading the lyrics to Dirty Rotten Bastards and thinking what a messed up movie the plot would make. GEEEEEESE In Youngblood, Billie Joe is married to a tree that is haunted by Miss Teresa. But a supernova is going to kill everyone so it's fine. But before the supernova, Billie takes his Tree Wife and uses her as a gun to shoot the moon into the Sun! Which would kill her but pretty sure it wouldn't effect the Sun at all. Now our tides are screwy, but again. Supernova is the biggest issues in this song.

Yea! It looks like downward looking Billie (that sounds like a yoga pose) is all suspicious of upward looking Billie.

I volunteer as tribute!

Oh my god as soon as I started reading that my brain switched to Billie Joe's voice.

And so tiny next to that guy! 😍🥰

I agree. It’s hyperbole / an ironic take at their past and the expectations that come with it. However, I’m not sure if it’s universally understandable. To most people it likely just looks weird.

I know and that makes no sense at this point, so much time has passed since that album. And it's not supposed to be everyone's fave GD album, they have so much material and only good (great) material, that comparing every new album to AI is like omitting the quality of the rest. I'd personally put quite a few of their albums above or at least at the level of AI: RevRad, Tré, Uno, 21CB and Warning. In short, all the albums that came around and after AI are at least as good as AI to me. And whatever the personal preferences, Green Day have always been so good at reinventing themselves without losing their quality and sound identity. Back on topic, I've listened to Foam album today in the first time for like 10 days. And I had a blast, it's just so good I don't love it at the same level as my very fave GD albums; but I don't need to love it that much to get crazy listening to it. To me it's a bit like Dos, there are some songs that I absolutely adore and some that I just enjoy. But it's an album that ought to be heard as a whole, it makes it so much better.

Yes absolutely! I think one of the great things about those guys is that you never know what they're up to next, they're a bag full of surprises. Especially Graffitia totally has that epic, anthem-like, 21CB-esque vibe. I was dead serious about wanting a Graffitia-themed concept album.

That´s true. I was expecting they might go for a 21CB follow-up but FOAM is no disappointment. In the end it’s a fun album and that’s what matters.

Yeah you’re right but that still makes it a good and enjoyable album. I get that it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I just don’t see where’s all the hate coming from

I have a feeling this album has a better reception outside of the narrow circle of the fandom. Most reviews were from OK to positive.

Yeah I don't really mind its length but I still think one, maybe two more songs would've made the album feel more complete. Otherwise I still love it. Makes me sad that it's being precieved as a flop. And the extreme hate is...wow. I get not liking it but some of these reviews are just over the top brutal.

Just saw this comment from Billie on the IG post of GD playing in Eggplant's back yard

When you're watching the Game Grumps play through of Ocarina of Time and they get the Longshot from the Water Temple and you get really excited because of the name.

I was on holibops in Malta when my pre-ordered copy got delivered. I'm importing to my iTunes to play on my iPod right now since that's really the only way i'll manage to experience the album the good ol' fashioned way from start to finish and in order (i can't listen to it with shuffle off on my deezer cos i haven't got premium... Probably should get onto that at this stage but i've been holding out cos i'm just the poor grad in the office 😬 ). First full listen, here goes...

Yeah every time I talked about Green Day I usually get the "Oh they're still making music?" response and it's just baffling. Like is there some sort expiration date on artists? After a certain age you just assume they stop making music? Weird.

I think this pic was shared before actually but that one looks like more close up and wanted to share cause his face structure looks very distinct and perfect. I love the shape of his eyebrows and eyes

Nice memories from 5 years ago in Quebec City
