That last one feels like classic Green Day

It is. It reminded me of this photoshoot from Kerrang:

Exactly. I forgot to mention it, but yeah, obviously we were bummed out, but it was understandable. This unexplained silence makes it look like they don’t even care about this anymore and it can’t be just corona.

Dang it! It gave me a good laugh... some new pics from their stylist:

Well there aren't any new pictures of Billie around so here's some of Billie being Billie on the catwalk during the RevRad era:

A friendly message from our dangerous drummer:

That's debatable.

So... basically all of them. Haha!

After 10 years I finally scored one of these Rusty Wired hoodies in my size: I couldn't afford one when they went on sale all that time ago and it's so rare to find one, especially new, these days so I'm well pleased.

this must be quite some news to billie

Laughing at this stupid virus is the way Tré! I love him.

That’s a Green Day is on hiatus beard if I ever saw one

Green Day needs to do something right now. Anything to take our focus off of the virus.

My family has a very dear friend on that ship who has no immune system anymore because he had a heart transplant. Super scary stuff. I think the current plan is for him to take an air ambulance back to Washington to the UW med center where he gets his care so he has as little exposure as possible. So far he's doing alright and seems to have dodged a bullet. But yes, when I heard the news that the ship is being disembarked in Oakland, I did get a little excited for no other reason than that it's Oakland. It's like "Ooooh, watch out boys. COVID-19 people headed your way!" They're all (probably) very healthy and still relatively young, so there's really no danger to them. Just kind of funny.

edit: removed the post because insta deleter, Billie Joe, struck again...

And fans were very understanding because they knew the reason. This is only partly the coronavirus but it doesn’t fully explain their absence when they could be more visible online right now.

So is is this the end of the hype? The pause is so underwhelming. They could be doing some live streams and play new songs, or maybe record a live video from their studio. Anything at this point would have been better.

Yep - it's kinda starting to look like that... I just saw this online again and it made be laugh so here you go

My new fear is Hella Mega getting postponed so instead of moving on from this weird ass era it will go on longer than planned

Saw a thing too that said if you sing from “Dearly beloved...” to “...insane and insecure” from JOS that works too. I timed it and it’s exactly twenty seconds. I’ve been using that one 🙂

GD and Basket Case get a mention in this AP article: CORONAVIRUS PREVENTION: 10 SCENE SONGS FOR HAND-WASHING https://www.altpress.com/features/coronavirus-prevention-handwashing-music-happy-birthday/ CORONAVIRUS PREVENTION: 10 SCENE SONGS FOR HAND-WASHING Because we’re getting super tired of singing “Happy Birthday.” People around the world are doing what they can to stop the spread of coronavirus. The global health outbreak has reached dozens of countries, and the disease has not been previously identified in humans, according to the World Health Organization. With more than 100,000 people infected with the virus, also known as COVID-19, everyone is taking serious measures to protect themselves. Major events such as SXSW have been canceled, and others such as Ultra Music Festival have been postponed. Many people are also upping their own personal hygiene measures, such as wearing masks and washing their hands more often. The Centers For Disease Control And Prevention recommends people wash their hands for 20 seconds, or the amount of time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. However, people were getting sick of the song and started thinking about other tunes they could sing for 20 seconds. We’ve found 10 of the perfect scene songs to sing while washing your hands that are way better than “Happy Birthday.” You can check those out below! 9. Green Day – “Basket Case” “Do you have the time to listen to me whine?/About nothing and everything all at once/I am one of those melodramatic fools/Neurotic to the bone/No doubt about it” I found this online from greendayinc too:

When the first thing you notice in this puzzle about Keanu is "Youngblood"!

This the post BJAs “memories” story is linked to: D’aw!!!!

GAH! Ok I'll post it here... give me a second to find it. BJ's caption was: Coronavirus... too soon?

See what you started? @DadBod

We all want to know what it was now

Done!

I'm sending you a PM of what he posted & deleted.

He's okay at acting. He was fine in OW. Nothing amazing but he wasn't Madonna in a movie bad. Still, he's not that great lol.

Watching the footage of the quarantined cruise ship disembarking in Oakland ridiculously closely, like Billie, Mike or Tre are standing around in the docks 😂😂

When you're reading to back of a package of cricket-based dog treats and get unnecessarily excited when you see that the company that makes them is in Oakland.

At least it generated some media attention...

It's the worst promotion in the histoiry of promotion.

Yes

The huge issue with music is people who are not knowledgeable can hide behind "well it's my opinion!". That's great and they're totally entitled to it but it doesn't mean you know anything about music from an objective standpoint. "In my opinion I hate when he does vocals in this style..." that's great and you can totally have that opinion but as a musician myself I know when Billie was hitting that mic to record he was pushing himself past anything he's done prior. So stylistically it may not be people's choice but he was challenging himself. Something people fear to do these days... I also love the fusion with other genres on this record, specifically the motown influence on it. I can listen to Jackson 5 and throw Meet Me On The Roof in that list and it actually fits which I think is awesome. Some of these songs remind me of the later Clash records and while I love their early records it was studying their later records that pushed me to be more creative and become a better musician. That and my love for prog rock.

Yep, I am getting frustrated that so many people seem unable to see and hear all that’s going on in FOAM.

The internet is treating FOAMF like the Playstation Classic. Kinda sad to see a bunch of drones that know nothing try to act like their opinion is valuable. I get objectively why the reviews are mixed but the album is not a 0/10... While this possibly may be my least or second least favourite that's more just based on my taste and punk bias. I will say I am getting pissed off with the hate around "why is he doing this vocally why doesn't he just do the thing he always does?". I will say these are some of the hardest GD songs to sing and he's hitting notes he hasn't hit since 39/Smooth (which was when he was a kid...). Mike's bass playing and the band as a rhythm section is really tight as well. Just seems that the negatives and changes are overshadowing some of the more positive things.

I just watched a doco filmed in Oakland and got excited because the words "hella big" were used 😪

Since Green Day’s mysterious disappearance, I’ve been watching old stuff. Like this. I love this. I miss Green Day

Fangirls thread?

The way that boy in sequined jacket looking at Billie is probably would be me if I ever saw him lol

I love being at the kids table during holidays. We have coloring activities at my families "kids" tables (all of us "kids" are in our mid 20s and up).

He looks like he was sentenced to the kids' table on Thanksgiving.

Ordinary World is supposed to be available on Netflix for the US now. I don't live in the US, but I'm so happy this movie gets more attention. More people will see how good Billie is as an actor and how cute he is. On another subject, I found this picture and I never saw it before. I love it when Billie does photobomb and he looks adorable in this one.

Here's Armatage Shanks in Leeds and Chula Vista: I haven't watched any of the Madrid videos but the sound doesn't seem too bad on this one of I Was There

It matches Mike's expression in your profile pic.
