He literally wrote a song saying he's a walking contradiction so we shouldn't be surprised

He did the exact same thing at my show! He said "Look at all the pretty lights!"

💞💞💞

Yeah, but then he was also so stressed out and fucked up that night they couldn’t get him on stage for an hour. If a stable, reliable setlist of hits is easier for him, maybe that’s just how it has to be. I’m not saying the two always have to go together but it is true the set lists were often wilder when he was messed up and being impulsive.

We were talking about the Shepherd's Bush show in the picture request thread and I got to thinking about it. Just look at the setlist compared to Hella Mega... https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2012/o2-shepherds-bush-empire-london-england-bdc7d1a.html Can't believe this was nine years ago

So here're a few Billie pics I've been obsessed with lately. I just don't know how anyone can be so fucking attractive. How is he like this? His eyes in the 21CB one are just hypnotizing. This is all three of them (and they all look great, of course!), but I love how Billie's bangs are styled here. I miss his bangs being like this! 😭 I do like them gelled up like they have been lately, but I prefer them down.

I have some others on my computer but it's been broken for ages and not got around to replacing it! Found a few more There are some others on Getty Images website if you search for "Green Day Shepherd's Bush"

The AUSTRALIAN TOUR Edition for Insomniac!! 💚

I was at that show and at the time no one thought anything about any of it until iHeart happened. Everyone says in hindsight Billie was f**ked up that night but at the time it was far from people's minds

We were talking in the picture request thread about the Shepherd's Bush show photos so thought I'd leave some here too

😢😭

I had to go back myself and have another look they're such great photos! Posting a couple more Can't believe this was nine years ago!

Me too 😆 I always skip that one. Although top faves are a little different I love Loss of Control and top forever fav is FELL FOR YOU (times a gajillion million) fav song off the trilogy and also love Stay the Night, Oh Love, and so much more. The Trilogy is a jam packed treasure chest except for one or two I tend to skip but considering it’s 3 full albums skipping one or two is minimal and doesn’t mean that much at all. The Trilogy is a masterpiece.

Still think the trilogy was amazing. Has some of their best work with lazy bones, stay the night, sweet sixteen, Ashley, 8th Avenue serenade, x-kid, nuclear family, stray heart. a lot of filler, but that’s what I liked most about this project. We got a chance to hear polished songs that otherwise would have been left on the cutting room floor. hate all the negativity surrounding this album (and FOAM)!

It was obvious that the trilogy was a commercial flop by the time 99 Revolutions tour started so I don’t think it had anything to do with the album’s success either.

I really don't think setlists are something we need to start associating with Billie's issues. They were more varied back then because Green Day were still very relevant, which meant more people were interested in hearing deep cuts (especially at a small show like Shepherd's Bush). Even on the 99 Revolutions Tour there were some pretty exciting setlists because that was before the trilogy's lack of success was clear. It's not that deep.

Brutal love. It’s one of my favorite Green Day songs ever, not just from the trilogy. There’s tons of great songs on trilogy, I really don’t get why people don’t like it as much

Love Mike and love Kermit. They both seem like such sweet souls. P.S. I still miss Billie Joe posting on Insta and I will not forget it haha. But seriously. What a weird void. Years of fun interaction and then a big ditch. He used to post a lot! I’d like to thank Tré the hero during these troubled times for the wonderful posts ❤️ so good and heartfelt and funny too! Love him so much always and more ❤️ but still missing the lead singer guy.

^^ I like the last one where mike is basically doing the same pose as kermit❤️

I know this person! Here's the mic drop from that gallery without the rest: And a bonus of mine

Hi guys, I feel like the Trilogy is a masterpiece and it's so underrated. I love the songs on that albums especially Stray Heart. So today I decided to cover it with myself. What is your favorite song from the Trilogy?

I’m not too big on the songs from the trilogy? but I do think brutal love sounds amazing live ESPECIALLY here

Ugh that last one where he's smiling so wide! 😍

Indeed! He is so good at IG hype 😎 even just activating the deactivated accounts would be hype 😳 I wonder what will happen 🧐 He’s insane and beautiful with his talent and crazy drive to create great stuff. It seems like the guy can’t help but write and start projects during his little bits of Green Day downtime and he likes to share and make it fun to figure out and get interactive with fans. IG = perfect platform for what he does best as far as teasing etc. Hope he activates his accounts sooner than later but the wait would be worth it if it’s to tease a new cover, single or project and get back to the fun and brilliant stuff.

I saw a few people wearing the network shirt when I was waiting in line during the philly show lol, I think I saw a couple of the longshot too? but really, I wouldn’t mind another small longshot show or just another small release in general

I do. It’s ok if that’s how they want to make the most out of their last few decades. It seems a little too early to go into the Stones mode though.

I'm sure they will return to touring as just Green Day for Green Day fans when they release another album.

Dirty Rotten Bastards

Just saw they are live streaming this on twitch

Me too! It sounded more funky on the scraps we heard from the secret shows but the end product was so flat

I just want to make a art collage out of those pictures. I need to put them as wallpapers for my phone.

Nuclear Family Honorable Mention: Dirty Rotten Bastards and 99 Revolutions

What's gonna happen when the lead singer guy gets inspired to release another cover song, single or solo project? He'll have no way to promote it or get fans hyped

I saw a couple of people wear the Longshot shirts in the pit at the LA show. (me being one of them :D) hopefully Billie got to see throughout the tour in general the Longshot is well supported to bring it back 🙂

Pretty much this. The Hella Mega Tour was a Green Day tour. Fallout Boy and Weezer were opening bands. I really don’t understand this thinking that there will be some kind of “proper US tour” coming in 2022 with only Green Day. They just toured 21 stadiums in the US. I don’t know how that’s not considered a proper tour. And it’s not even like the setlist was cut THAT drastically to where it really made a difference compared to their previous tours.

Oh man, so it took me a loooong time, but I finally got all my RAW photos edited. Here are some of my favorites and I'll also link to the whole collection: I'll spoiler some more: Here's the link to the whole album: https://imgur.com/a/AGKfdFG

I think it is better. It would be great if they had the same kind of resurgent success with this cover that Weezer did with Africa. Although in the case of this song, it's even better if you were there to see it live. The memory of the tour is what's so great. (And thank you for that gif. Watching Billie flail like a beetle on its back is just what I needed)

lmao this is why i don’t use gdc much anymore

May the rock gods bless us with a new Green Day live album/DVD 🙏

Hey, you’re talking to a former member of the KISS Army from 1979 thems fightin’ words 😜 That’s pretty exciting. For them to even say that they must be hoping to do something substantial at least

ashley or loss of control. i think sweet16 is the worst out of all of them.
