Got inspired by the 1234 Go Records reprint and, since shipping and custom duties costs are crazy for Denmark, just opted for a near mint original print from Germany, spending the same amount of money 😄

We all think Billie is a bad influence on Kevin 😂

Did we all assume it would be Billie introducing Kevin to that stuff? Just me and @Beerjeezus?

Billie always does this between albums and tours. He turns into caveman hobo and starts to look like he might smell bad.

Just ordered the Awesome as Fuck CD/DVD, better late than never 😅

Billie also has a long history of doing ridiculous voices

He learned that from Billie

Maybe they like being punched 🤷 #NoKinkShaming 😂

I just read this as punch. That's okay, I'll console them. (And Kev looks good in that video. Stop doing the weird voice thing though.)

This is why I have two hands: Pinch Billie's cheek with the left Pinch Kevin's cheek with the right.

Green Day should start cleaning their closets and release a new demo/bside every week

I think the words we're all looking for to describe Billie are the Bellie and Dadbod.

Proper hobo billie joe has to be a little thicc! It’s a part of the package

Did you see Steve Martin's twitter? This had me lol-ing so much: Haven't we all? I've maintained my current weight for the last 6 months even though I'm just 5 off my goal. Dang stress chocolate eating...

It also looks like he's been eating some good food while in quarantine. Looking kind of thicc Billie 👌

The mask helps too. Celebs must really appreciate this new trend.

What, you mean like spend ages staring at every detail? No, oh no,no..., no would never do such a thing. 😙😙 😂 Still can’t see that darn ankle tattoo though, no matter how hard I try 🧐

Hobo Billie Joe always looks so chill, like a friendly hippie guy. I take that over fake tan bitch any day

He looks well and happy, that’ll do for me.

They left a series of phone messages on their old official fansite between 2001-2004. Some were updates, talk and nonsense and also there was music, both covers and unreleased originals. The music is awesome plus it’s especially cool to hear Billie in real time during the C&V > AI period talk about songs he’s working on that he’s just meh about and then transitioning to songs he has that he really loves. You can listen to them all here courtesy of greenday.fm: https://greenday.fm/audio/phone-messages/

My project is complete!

I was in eastern Washington over the weekend on a trip with two of my friends and I normally refrain from playing Green Day in the car since they aren't as into them as I am, but I just really had a longing to hear them while I was driving home today (it's a 4 hour drive). I only played a handful of songs, but it made me really happy. That is, until I asked my other friend (not the gay one who I was talking about Billie with) if she actually liked it at all. She basically said not particularly and that she would not go out of her way to listen to them and that it kind of sounded like it was just the same song over and over again. I guess she connects music like Green Day and other similar artists with middle school and high school and has formed kind of a negative association because of that. I was just really sad that she couldn't feel any appreciation or hear what I hear when I listen to them. I've always thought that Green Day songs are generally quite different from one another and there are so many interesting nuances in sound and style and I stand by that obviously. She and another friend are obsessed with BTS, who I don't care for, and all of the songs I've heard by them sound the same to me while she claims they have a lot of variety. It's probably because she's never really listened to any Green Day apart from the more popular songs that are well known and so can't pick up on how diverse their catalogue actually is. I suppose the same goes for me with BTS, but it still makes me feel weird and melancholy that she can't see how special GD are. I don't know. I just feel like Green Day is just objectively such a phenomenal band and Billie is such an outstanding songwriter that it seems like it would be much easier to like their music than to dislike it. I also think that Green Day and just good rock and roll in general is more genuine, real and objectively better than K-pop. I could say that about western pop music as well, though. But K-pop is so cookie cutter, corporate, and fake, even more so than western pop. I just needed to get that out. Didn't mean it to turn into a mini rant about K-Pop, but it baffles me and it's hard not to bring it up if I mention BTS. I love Green Day (and Billie) so deeply and so passionately that it hurts me that she can't enjoy their music even a little.
