Perfect! I know it’s unlikely to happen but I hope for it anyway! That’s a good compromise you know what, I just want a happy, healthy Billie and the rest will come naturally

When you're volunteering in a charity shop and you get Prosthetic Head stuck in your head after looking at the mannequins ("All dressed up, red blooded, A mannequin").

Life size is not that big in this case

Just received my refund back on my card! Now to see if this tour happens, but I am waiting for a solo Green Day concert, fingers crossed they just do one of their own in 2022 or maybe if California does allow large concerts by next summer, the tickets will be cheap and I might think about going, but getting better seats.

Billie returns from quarantine with better vocals, but keeps the wild mane with bleached bits and everything

Just been listening through all the covers again. My faves (in no particular order) are probably Amico, Gimme Some Truth, Corpus Christi and That Thing You Do. Shoutout to Manic Monday as well because I never really liked that song but I enjoyed Billie's version.

I really wasn't mad about FOA at all until I heard it live in Seville and it sounded so good. Takes me back to that show every time I hear it now

True, at least he tried. He should just try...a little less now I appreciate a good falsetto or even an okay one if its used sparingly. But when I recently heard FOA I still didn't like it.

I actually think it sounds cool on the record, but maybe he could make changes to how he sings it live to so the songs suit his voice better

And Oh Yeah sounded horrible. I really, really like the album version of that song, but it just doesn't work live, I hope they won't play it on tour. It's an energy-killer, the opposite of every other Green Day song, lol. Bring on Meet Me On The Roof and Graffitia live😍

Meet Me on the Roof has grown on my. I love FOAM. I love all Green Day I just want to look up live versions of these songs from cellphone videos on YouTube

I just saw this on instagram, knew it was probably inevitable like Thanos but still 😭😭😭

I totally want ragtime piano versions of all the songs on FOAM

He better! I half expect he comes out of quarantine with new super skills bc what else could he possibly do other than practice.

Same! Gah!! 😂

Ahhh I can't unsee it now!

Honestly Green Day should hire him to make their setlists, seriously.

Making a setlist is easy. @That Dude makes it one every post!

That's just what I was thinking! You beat me.

I hate to sound like a broken record but BJ would do such an awesome version of this 80’s post punk tune . The chorus, the Bass , the guitars , the lyrics , it’s all there. I reckon he could do such a good cover, although it’s an excellent song in its own right .

He love being all by himself

Lmao my lack of artistic skill would probably make it even creepier tbf

I mean I had a 6ft tall poster of this on my wall, so I don't scare easily And you could totally see it from outside if you were walking down the right block

I love how y'all are creeped out by posters while I have a life-sized cardboard cutout of Billie in my house

Omg those last two are amazing! And congrats on putting up the posters! Baby steps!

Doesn’t work as well with trap beats

I think you have to put things in the right perspective and find the right enemies here. I am not sure if we are allowed to discuss this (if not mods please cancel/edit this post), but since it's publicly available information: Billie Joe is estimated to be worth $55 million. Let's say that the three of them together have $150 million, which I think it's actually way more than reality. This includes properties and whatsoever, it's not their liquidity, which will be way less than this. A world stadium tour like the one we are talking about can end up costing up to $59M a month (https://www.royaltyexchange.com/blog/costs-of-touring#sthash.3lxCqNEt.dpbs). Let's even say that we are on the medium-lower range here, $25M a month (even tho I think this is not really the case since we are talking about 3 huge bands + supporting acts touring only stadiums, worldwide). Make your calculations considering how long this tour was supposed to be, and even if you consider all the artists, from all of the three bands, contributing to cover the costs, you can easily realise that this is not something that can be expected from them. It's not about greediness or rich problems, we don't even know if and how much they actually contributed to cover the losses that this tour is clearly making in the current situation. It's just about economy, it's about the music industry that, as any other industry, in this situation need a state intervention to survive and be on its legs when things will be (hopefully) be able to be back to a new normality. And it's about the workers of the music industry getting paid their salary (a big cut of that monthly touring cost). It's a totally different topic of discussion when we talk about huge corporations, having hundreds of millions if not billions in liquidity, CEOs worth billions, maybe also paying starvation wages and evading taxes in some financial paradise, that somehow manage to get access to public money, while workers get fired and small businesses have to shut down. That is the problem, that sucks.
