Anywaaaaayyyy.... I love this beautiful picture of Billie singing and playing a piano. Wonder what it's from. That Acoustic 4 A Cure video reminded me how much I love Billie's look there. He looks so sweet and happy and his hair, although a little ratty, is still pretty and floofy. A little bit reminiscent of his current quarantine mop. Hard to believe that was 6 years ago. He still looks exactly the same! The striped shirt is just fire! Here are more.

I watching this Prima Donna video when I spotted a wild Snoo appearance! (starts at 00:55)

bubukittyfk Never a dull moment with this birthday boy. ❤️HBD baby love

That fear of not seeing them gives me nightmares, I know how you feel. But I think that you can relax, you're on the same country and that increases your chances a lot, and Chicago is also a big city, they won't leave it behind. We have to stay positive! In my opinion, the RevRad tour was the best for everybody. Even for the band. ❤

Billie is so tiny next to Kevin aww

So this is nice As is this But this....ohoho Kevin Kevin, this is a look you should bring back. Because GOOD. LORD.

Ok thank you, that’s been happening to me for several days and I can’t figure it out. I think they are just very late notifications because the last stories they posted I don’t remember getting notifications at all. It’s messed up, so good to know it’s not just me I guess.

He probably did privately. I wish he’d go back to posting the things he used to. Adrienne too, I miss them both. They can turn comments off or limit them I wouldn’t care. I miss their posts.

You know when the band releases a new record and the reporter ask them "what's next?" It's a question that always bother me, BUT now that The Network is back with their new record, I hope that the Foxboro Hot Tubs do the same some day I remember being too new in the forum when their ep came out so I wasn't so aware of them, I only read the news from GDA. It would be great, they should do the Foxies again.

Surprisingly certain artists seem to skip Chicago. Rob Zombie always goes to bum fuck Illinois instead. Smaller bands like Dead Sara and Prima Donna usually tour the East and West Coast and skip the midwest. Either way, tours make me anxious There's always something to worry about whether it's buying tickets or getting a good spot or whatever. Yet, I keep torturing myself by continuing to go to shows 🤔

Tours make me anxious! I'm always afraid they're gonna pull the whole "Hey Chicago, we're coming to see you!" and then they're going to Tinley Park, which is not Chicago at all and difficult to get to on public transportation. Also, I'm always afraid that whatever tour it is will be my last chance to see the band or that it'll take them forever to come back to my city >_< I know Chicago is a major tour spot, but look at Prima Donna. They haven't been here in ages!!!

I was hoping Billie would wish Tre a happy birthday from The Longshot account, and say something about how he has to use that account because there's something "wrong" with his other one.

Fair, but in my experience, it's easier said than done. It's like you want the interview to come to a natural conclusion and asking "what's next" is a way to do it. What's next also gives whoever they're talking to room for them to plug whatever. Like next is the tour blah blah blah. Or other interviewers have agendas, like their editors might suggest they need to ask that. I don't know, everywhere is different. I'm just going by my experience.

So it is a pretty silly question especially if they released new material not long ago, but I'll let you in on a secret...it's because they often don't know how to end the interview

I keep getting notifications on my phone that billie or green day has posted a story, but then nothing is there. I did it about an hour ago saying Mike posted a story, but nothing...

Saw this on Twitter last night. Don't think I've seen it before

A Foxboro record wouldn't be called like that! I accept it, though (from The Network) Plus another one from FBHT.

Well spotted!

Aww shit rolling in the dough now!

No way I'm cancelling this order. My collection will be over (except some B-side Green Day album I don't have).

*from beyond* I'm still dead from Kevin's hotness. Or maybe I should blame @Montclare for sharing the gif that ended with my demise. I have yet to be resurrected. But these are cute!! I love the one with his weird ratty long hair! It's kind of weird, but still cute

No doubt the US mail is screwed. Ordered a custom phone case with Fink on it that shipped the 5th from the state I literally share a border with and it sat in a distribution center for five days and isn’t supposed to get here until the 14th. 9 days to hop one state!!

MY HEART. ACK KEVIN.......ACK BLEH......WHEEZE...bye bye kevin *dies*

Here, have a gif.

Love Billie giving Kevin the hug from behind 😄

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.

I've begun writing a deep dive into the life and career of Chris Dugan. Sure, nobody's lined up around the block for Mr. Dugan, but he's kind of a B+ list celebrity and deserves the spotlight now and again. I just hope I don't run into too much RED TAPE in my research. That would suck if RED SLEEVE TAPE or RED KEYBOARD TAPE were to get in my way.

Here's a link to "Highway 1" Fun Fact - This is how I was introduced to GDA. I was trying to figure out all about Foxboro Hot Tubs and I think at the time they had only released a 6 song digital EP. Pretty disappointed this wasn't on the album - I also miss all those intros from old movies.

GD googling photos of themselves instead of posting one taken by themselves on a special day They're that lazy lol

Billie Armstrong* *only shows up on picture day

Tre has some impressive flexibility 😲

So... Happy birthday to Mr. Cool

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

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

Here we have the master of eyeliner, and next to him is Billie.

Sorry to know that happens in your city 😦 I always thought it was easier for you guys to go see them, or any other band. Don't even mention me getting the spot/ticket 😅 it makes me want to cry.

Pittsburgh gets skipped a lot by medium sized bands I’ve gotten used to traveling to Philly to see shows that only hit bigger markets. Sucks though, more time and money involved so I’ll only do it for certain bands.

Nah it's their stories from 16hours ago. It's just a bug from the IG app. Because on computer everything is fine.

Maybe they've posted stuff and took it right down. I wouldn't put it past them. Especially not Billie.

@jj0407 welcome back! @BillieMyLove I am sorry you feel like that. I have to agree with @Hermione that maybe you should take. Break if it’s bringing you down. Why is Billie at a piano so alluring? Is it just because we don’t see it often, gets me every time, even singing with Rocky!

Nobody is saying there's anything wrong with you for thinking sexually about the band, pretty sure most of us here do and there's nothing wrong with it. Even if someone does think that it's just their opinion on that topic, who cares. I've been over why there's some rules on how far discussions are allowed to go many times so I won't again, but it isn't a personal attack on you, it's limits that were agreed on years before you joined to keep the most number of people happy and comfortable with the thread and to adhere to the rules of the forum without making things too complicated. We have an advice forum where you can talk about or get advice on how you're feeling/any problems you have as much as you want, with specific threads for discussing sex and many other topics. This thread/the rest of the forum isn't for that purpose I'm afraid. Maybe it is a good idea to take a break from here (this thread for the forum in general) and get some perspective on it, it's up to you so do what's best. But this thread is just for some fun fangirling, you're taking it way too seriously and if you're not enjoying it it's not a good use of your time. I don't want to warn or suspend you because I know you mean no harm but if you refuse to stop with these posts here I'll have to. Feel free to PM me or use the advice forum. But this is over in this thread.

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

Instagram censored the text "American Idiot". I wouldn't put it past them. From Mike

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!

Same. I tried NFM last week. It's really good. But nothing beat MM Part II. On another note, I didn't listened to FOAM in ages lol

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.

Billie (or maybe it's Fink) stories tonight; And from Mike:

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

Someone posted as BJA instead of Fink last night
