I just met him in Berlin with his big hat on 😭

The reason the US is in such a bad state is because of the republicans in power. The democrats aren't doing what they should be doing but the Republicans are actively making life worse for people. Abortion rights are threatened because conservative supreme justices are voting against it, republicans in the senate are the ones that vote against anything good like gun control, stimulus checks, infrastructure, minimum wage, healthcare

Billie can live wherever the hell he wants, he isn't a politician and it's not his job to fix the US. And where he lives has no bearing on how much he can do to affect change.

From Billie's Instagram story

boomer night out

I think abortions are great. People should get them more so that Republicans can argue that limiting them would ruin the free market with Communism.

Based on the Kerrang article, it seems like its only the album. I don't think they would freely mention the album, but keep an EP a secret.

Ehh, getting the feeling now that Fall will be the earliest we get an announcement/single.

Now I want to go to Berlin. It looks so nice.

Honestly I am going to the concert with two friends, they are casual fans, loved them during AI, followed them during 21CB, know something from the Trilogy, maybe have heard something from the rest. That’s the set list they expect and want. One saw them live once, one never. They are 24 and 29. And I think they represent a good portion of their average audience. It’s only fair that they are getting it.

Looks like Tré has been out walking in Berlin

Billie's not being effected by the shit things going on in the US. He's rich & famous. The people getting fucked over are women, the working class, poc, lgtbq and Billie being in the US isn't doing anything to help these people

Sorry these photos aren't great but I can read them (will try to get a better photo of page 6 where the light is shining on the text) Here is the link to my Tumblr post.

Billie said America bad

No, apart from the fact that I don't know how anyone with such views can be a Green Day fan when it goes against everything they've always stood for, the posts are simply off topic.

No way was I reading that shit. Reported.

Could just be they were giving us a look inside the process with no real timeline in mind. Mildly disappointing on one hand, but builds the anticipation on the other.

If it's true that the album releases in 2023, I'm not expecting any announcement or major news for months

I doubt they'll announce anything while on tour. It's possible, but I have a feeling they won't

Fabulous city, not sure why more tourists don’t visit, but it’s quite busy at times already.

1-9-7-2 1 - A 9 - I 7 - G 2 - B A-I-G-B Americans in Great Britain Nothing to see here, folks

That’s true but that doesn’t mean, thank good, that it doesn’t bother him! Not usually one to quite the bible but “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” is again, very relevant in our times.

Found this thread from December 9th 2018

Billie's stories he just posted are cracking me up It's just videos of the close up of a bowl. He's like zooming in and out. They're at a bar or something

I think he is in the Uk for recording because he has a family member living there at least part time as well. And I know it is probably not ok to say this, but I think part of the reason he is pissed off at the US isn't political at all, I think it is because in the US, his family member got "cancelled", and even tho plenty of us feel it was warranted, in my opinion, I think the whole cancel culture and what happened, pisses Billie off. Any way, in short, I think he is there for personal reasons, and it works for him and his family. If this is totally inappropriate, mods can delete it.

Somebody here has a type

Yeah... that's how I got there

Well America bad. Come to Canada.

"Someone said something I disagree with. Reported." That attitude is what's wrong with the world.

Two of the most important people in my life wouldn't be in my life if they didn't have their abortions. That's all I'm going to say about that absolutely ridiculous statement. anyway! Thanks for posting the scans. Can't read through the whole interview rn since I'm a bit sick, but I love the photos and the magazine cover is super cool.

No one knows the terms of their (new?) contract. But I think that’s more a matter of Crush release/marketing strategy, rather then contractual obligations.

When you see this and think of RevRad/Bang Bang!

Last comment before it gets too offtopic: I think the US election system is more like „voting against a certain candidate“ than „voting for a certain candidate“. That‘s the problem when there are only two (major) options to vote for.

I think you’re the hint. 2019, 1972, both years. Hmmm

“Other countries have their problems too but I don’t know about them” is such a US stereotype

I don’t care

For anyone without Instagram I think he's trying to film his reflection

FOAM (single) was released in September. The record in February. I think we will get something this year.

Maybe we've overestimated the 50th birthday thing. They can release It in 2030 but celebrating their origins calling 1972 with no problem.

And as long as he holds on to his citizenship he can still vote

My point is him being there doesn't help those who are suffering. He can do things to help these groups while being outside of the states like using his platform to talk about these issues, giving money to groups or charities to help these people etc

I wasn't really expecting the new album to come this year so I'm not surprised there. Billie needs a talking to, though. Don't you dare just run off to England and abandon your country like that just because you can. Stay here and fight like the rest of us! Yeah, it's fucking shitty here and I'm disgusted and horrified every day by what goes on and how the people in power do nothing about it, but this is your home so suck it up and support the things that are good!

He explained that too. It was a greatest hits tour (and lets face it they can fill a whole setlist with hits and mainstream favorites)

I would manage those expectations if I were you

I thought with the title and 1972 tease this was some big celebrate turning 50 release. 2023 doesn’t make as much sense. And what was with the fact that they have a new record deal now and can release music more frequently and in any form they want all about? Seems like the same old album every 3-5 years and tour cycle thing to me. Never thought I’d feel nostalgic for that. At least a single in 2022 would be something

Personally I love Bang Bang the most of them. They kinda surprised us with such an aggressive fast song (yeah, Billie posted something like ‚kill pop in pop-punk’) and I love to think back to the time and the RevRad Era in general. But would say it‘s hard to pick cause we all have a different opinion and and meaning to the songs. They don‘t play „Bang Bang“ anymore so I dont know how important the song is for them. But I think the most important 1st single could be „American Idiot“ .

I got a Hawaiian pizza yesterday night and all I could think was Billie would hate this. It's pineapple on pizza.

Trilogy = 90s Green Day, so that's totally fine

Could have sworn I read somewhere that Stop Drop and Roll was written in one drunken night.
