So... Happy birthday to Mr. Cool

When you think about it, we got spoiled this year, huh? Those who don't like FOAM would disagree, but we got a new GD album, a new Network album, and a fun covers album. That's pretty awesome! I like NFM a lot. It's got this nice, laid back vibe to it. And what I like the most about it is Billie did it because he wanted to. Most cover albums feel half assed and lame because a band is doing it to give fans something between album releases. But Money Money Part 2 is definitely more fun!

That reminds me of this one. I've always said, if I was asked for one picture that defines Green Day, it would be this one (sorry Mike). People who are totally themselves and not afraid to be silly and have fun.

Look at that shit eating smirk on his face

Reminds me of his high school yearbook.

I just played it yesterday after The Network album for the first time in a long time. They actually go well together

What a fucking dork 😂 but I agree with @jengd it's part of what makes him so likable. I like that he can be silly and make fun of himself. And I like that he's not super macho. Seems like he's not afraid of getting in touch with his feminine side, which I love. If he wasn't so dorky and if he was way too macho I wouldn't be into him as much. At the same time he knows when to pull out his angry eyes and he's not afraid to kick some ass!

Most of my fantasies just involve getting to spend time with Billie, be his friend, and hug him and look at him. He's the most stunningly beautiful living thing to ever grace the universe. Which makes it so much funnier when he's a complete doofus.

Such a smol gremlin with hair I wanna ruffle....very much like someone else I like who's name rhymes with Kent Jeznor. I think we were talking about Fink's hair shaking earlier, so have this

AWWWWWWWW! Hard to believe that was this year. It feels like a life time away.

Was just donating blood and they had the NFL preshow on. As soon as I saw Michael Strahan, my mind went to this tiny guy.

Billie Armstrong* *only shows up on picture day

Tre has some impressive flexibility 😲

I think we can all be a little inclined to get carried away on this thread, especially if it’s late and a little glass of wine may have been consumed - to be clear I mean myself here - and we have to reign it in a bit. I think we should all chill and enjoy the gorgeousness of our three handsome boys! 21st CB is when I first saw them live, blonde Billie, and I could not believe my eyes

I also think the Trilogy kind of doesn't count because that was a planned release. From the beginning we knew we were getting 3 albums. Whereas with NFM we weren't sure if it was going to be released physically and we didn't even know about the Network until they started teasing it.

Seriously have they ever released three albums in one year before? (I know the Trilogy is an obvious answer but that’s really one release so besides that. I mean three separate projects)

Can we all agree that the best Billie hairstyle is the 21CB look? It has everything: it's black, it's poofy, it's a good length, and it frames his face beautifully. If Billie were to do that again, I wouldn't complain.

Poor Billie is competing with himself releasing two new records a week apart. I want to listen to this more but I can’t stop playing $$2020pt2

Even Billie looked a bit confused like "oh okay that just happened." Billie Armstrong just sounds so weird!

I love all of those and wouldn’t love him nearly as much if he wasn’t! If he strutted about all macho and impressed with himself, I would not be very keen.

^^ I've always loved those mic ones, which remind me of this double head doink.

Billie PocketTM

I'm pretty confident I could pick up Billie and this makes me happy He's so cute and small! Like you can just pop him in your pocket.

The year's not over yet, either. We could get a Longshot album on the 11th. A Tubbies album on the 18th and then..... on the 25th..... THE FINAL GREEN DAY ALBUM (only named that to whip the fanbase into a frenzy). They will say they won't be promoting it, that they didn't put that much work into it as a joke. and then it's awesome! But then, on January 1st........another Green Day record! It all sounds like the posting of a madman, but I had posted about Money Money 2020: Part ii a year ago, it would have felt the same way. Realistically, I'm hoping for a Green Day record at the end of 2021.

That’s how they didn’t really know his name 😂😂

That song plays in my subconscious at least once a day.

God bless Tre Cool

NOOOO, YOU GUYS JUST MADE ME REMEMBER THAT MIKE IS A CAT! Y'all are lucky that I haven't found a good pic of him with the tail. Instead of Kitty Mike, I shall grace you with more Tre.

I wanted to post gifs but I can't find the thread, looks like it was deleted. With his best pals: All the gifs/edits made by me.

Happy Birthday Tré! “Who is the most influential band in punk rock” “Tré: Us duh”

That's ridiculous. You have some patience because a week after release I would've contacted them. This is why I don't want to deal with Warner, but with these Network pre-orders they're kind of forcing my hand. I hate it.

This is what I don't like about Warner also. You knew there was a delay. You should be sending out notices to people who ordered, not wait until you get hundreds of emails. And they did the same to me in my previous Creeper experience. If I hadn't contacted them they wouldn't have told me.

I get that when you’re younger you want to seem older and vice versa, so that’s why it’s very funny and also understandable that he would prefer to be Bill as a teen and Billie as a middle aged adult

Looks like someone got a response from the UK team...vinyl has been delayed from the supplier....

It’s when he gets called Bill that it throws me!

It’s technically not correct because Billie Joe is his entire first name (he has no middle name) so it’s like saying only half a name. I know it can be shortened to Billie as a nickname but if you’re introducing someone by first and last name you include it all. So yeah, weird for that reason.

*smol Billie is a smol boi. And he's got nice hair.

Who covered it as well... (I'll refrain from listing the original artists name because he doesn't deserve it).

It's Tré Cool birthday in a couple of hour!

This is the most adorable thing I've seen today. (Well, that's not entirely true, but I'm trying not to mention...you know who. This is the most adorable thing that I've seen today that doesn't involve...) I'm gonna burst into flames.

You find Billie's use of "Y'know" endearing, but when your mom does it throughout an hour long conversation it drives you crazy.

A brazilian journal just got The Network on the main page today, besides an announce of Sao Paulo Covid Vaccination Program that starts January 25: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIir7anB-tf/?igshid=29lzbluvg1jj

Probably shot all of the band footage in either a single day or over a few days to minimize the group setting that ultimately happened (at least 10 people there when you think about, camera operator(s), 6 in the band, director... I like that Trans Am is different. Gave me MCR NaNaNa/Danger Days vibes (they used a trans am for that album as well).

maybe so

Regardless, we know the line and we've been warned (sorry @Hermione) so we should probably move on... like how I'm going to miss Billie's quarantine hair once he feels comfortable enough to get a haircut! I'm actually going to miss everyone's quarantine hair. [REDACTED] is rocking some sweet long hair right now and I hate to see it go!

I think what the line is you can think it, but don’t explicitly write it down here.

The fuck is going on with his face?!
