Weezer crushed FOAM in the last year with Ok Human and Van Weezer.
I really want them to be the 2nd headliners right before Green Day.
And The Interrupters right before Weezer.
And FOB doing a 30min set right before The Interrupters.
They both knocked it out of the park this year with OK Human and Van Weezer. I don’t want another Butch Walker record. If Crush is going to keep things in house, please PLEASE let Jake or Suzy do it.
On that note, I think Butch W is too much of a fanboy who loves everything they do and may not be brutally honest with them. Rob and to a greater extent Butch Vig really pushed them (in addition to Billie pushing himself which for reasons I don’t think he’s done as much more recently)
I'd love for them to get a producer who really pushes them. I think they're gotten lazy. The Network record shows they still have a lot of songwriting in them. Not sure why they don't put that kind of effort into Green Day.
Butch vig did a great job with 21STCB, they even won the grammy, I think they should work with him or those you mention again, they should change their musical direction but without losing the touch that characterizes Green Day

Idk what y'all found so great about OK Human. I listened to it once and was bored. I haven't heard Van Weezer yet though but that might be more up my alley
21st Century Breakdown is their best album imo. Butch Vig did a fantastic job. If they return to him, I'll be happy with that
So edgy! I love it!
Yeah it would be cool for Rick to get involved, it really depends on what the band want to do though. If they want to try and put out another decent album then it would make sense for Rick or another experienced producer to help them out, he did a great job with The Strokes and helped them win a grammy. Get the impression that it'll be another "party" record tho so doubt someone like Rubin would be interested.
The Dookie branded pedals have retained value pretty well, the first run are going for stupid money, so makes sense for MXR to get the circuit out there in a non Green Day package. Really need to try one of these properly, liked the sound of the first run when I tried it but couldn't (and still can't) warrant a place on my pedalboard for one.
He looks beautiful with his eyes open or closed, but I do love to look at that gorgeous green color. Especially when he's wearing a good amount of eyeliner. It really sets them off! Sometimes, it almost looks like they're glowing because of the way the light hits them. Like in these:
I love how he sings so much with his eyes open, it feels like we see more of him, though it’s also good when he closes his eyes. Some singers seem to close their eyes all the time. You can see he is clearly watching the audience at times. The TOTP show was so good, he was like a little kid over the fireworks he could see in the distance 😍😍😍
