He still writes like that. "Rock and roll tragedy/ I think the next one could be me" always gets me in Junkies On A High. I always have this thought like 'god, you still think so? If how you're continuing to live makes you feel like that's still an outcome, I hope that changes soon. I don't want that to happen.'

...okay I hate and love this.

Used to have a poster of this on my wall but it got ruined when I moved house! It's still really cool from the 21CB era

I love the beginning to Hearts Collide. No extended intro, just boom, straight into the song.

The music video for American Idiot has reached 200m views on YouTube.

That reminds me of this one.

Yes, as far as I know (unless somebody heard differently) I think this is the one. El Paso, Texas https://kvia.com/news/2015/01/05/videos-from-green-day-concert-in-el-paso-boy-jumps-from-balcony-sings-with-band/ Here's another Billie

You’ve got a cool blog! It’s wild that he of all people feels like this. I guess that shows the FOMO never goes away.

I kinda wish the videos were different but never mind, love these. Insomniac may be my fav GD record.

Not posted in here for a week or so so here's a few random pics And Billie's face from a 99 Revolutions Tour warm up show when someone jumps from the balcony!

It's my tumblr 🙂 Here's the part before this quote: The lyrics on "Uno!," "Dos!" and "Tré!" are loaded with references to dangerous excess and midlife crisis. "Amy" is about the late singer Amy Winehouse. You wrote "X-Kid" about a friend who never figured out how to be a middle-age punk. Were you consciously writing these songs about yourself? BJ: "Yeah. The guy in "X-Kid" died from the same habits I had. ¡Uno! is definitely the sense of "Be young, be free." The second album is the midlife crisis: "I want to live my life dangerously, because I haven't lived dangerously enough." And the third record is the reflection on reality. I've lived that arc my whole life, since I was 17. "

Omg why would you point it out? That's all I'm gonna see!

Really love the audio on the BBC Session.

Insomniac

Them doing nightlife with Miley Cyrus playing lady cobra would sure be the balls.

I'm so upset. I missed the sale and now GA is reselling for $700. and damn these seats are stupid expensive. I would settle down for seated tickets but there's no way I would pay $350 or 250. ahhh not even HM pit tickets

I don't know about a caption but some might say...

I heard a horrible, almost reggae cover of 'She' at a local taphouse tonight and it was just the worst. That song is not meant to be played that way and I don't know what artist did it, but they committed a crime against music.

These prices are breaking my damn heart

Anyone else think that Tre’s leg on the Foot in Mouth artwork looks like a turkey leg?

When you notice your barista has a heart tattoo on her middle finger and you have to resist telling her Billie has one there too. Also, when you're reading comments on the stock market and do a double take when someone says "it's been a Green Day."

From @batmansmom and from Kevin "existence is pain" This is also hilarious from Jason Freese https://instagram.com/stories/therealjasonfreese/2709518580894846864?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&utm_medium=share_sheet

I don't like his music. It's not for me. And he comes off as the biggest tool. Maybe it's just an act but I don't like it either way.

A childhood friend named Brando. You can see him interviewed in one of the old VH1 specials like Behind The Music or something.

Miley Cyrus? Eh.....okay? And I'm so sick of MGK being shoved down my throat.

I just saw this quite on tumblr: Were you sober when you wrote “Amy"? BJ: "I was on heavy medication. I was sober, but I wasn't clear. Seeing how it went down with her - something drew me to write that song. I don't write about people that pass away very often. I think I've done it three times: "X-Kid"; the one about my dad, "Wake Me Up When September Ends" [on American Idiot]; and "Amy." In a weird way, I'm almost desensitized by death, because I learned about it at such an early age. I have this family that is much older than I am, and I have a lot of friends who have committed suicide, gotten into drunk-driving accidents, hung themselves. So death has always been in my life. [Pauses, laughs grimly] That sounds really funny. But if you look back, I've been writing about addiction forever. There's this other side of me going, "I told you this shit was going down. You wouldn't fucking take it seriously.""

Sadly not open to entries from the UK

Yes, the 2006 guitar will be reissued next year.

Was the person who jumped okay? 😂
