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.

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

From Billie's Instagram story (for those without Instagram). I think he's trying to film his reflection in the bowl

If you're pro-life, your goal should be reducing abortions. Voting republican is not the answer to reducing abortions Yes, terrorists would be far less likely to kill people without a gun. Maybe they would still kill people but the amount of people to die would definitely be much less. Idk how you can look at the rest of the world where gun culture is nowhere near what it is in the US that combined have a fraction of the mass shootings and say that gun control doesn't make a difference (or that it can even increase violent crime, like where's your source on that??) Donald Trump is not just an "asshole" and for you to say that is really concerning. Do you not think that Trump increasing drone strikes during his presidency to well above the numbers of the Obama administration is more than just being an "asshole"

If you believe that the only time abortion is ever ok is rape or incest, then we're not living in the same reality. But you say that people don't know the stats on abortion, well that's the same for right wing people too because most right-wing people seem to think that everyone who's getting an abortion is getting a late term abortion when late term abortions are very uncommon and when they do happen is more often than not done if needed to save the mother's life or for some other reason outside of the parents control. Also interestingly, most anti-choice right-wingers are also opposed to giving free contraceptives (which would reduce abortions) and abortions are at their lowest under democratic presidents so if you actually cared about reducing abortions, there's your answer There is a clear connection between gun control and less gun deaths. The only reason violent crimes might be high in some places that have gun control in the US is that people bring guns from another state where gun laws are minimal. Outside of the US where guns are uncommon, there aren't school shootings. Yes, people can still kill other people but you can't just go into a school and kill 20 people with a knife. If these very frequent mass shootings aren't enough for you to go "you know what this is really fucked up, I like guns but we need to do something about this so that these evil monsters aren't able to get a gun", then idk what will Regarding liberals voting for Joe Biden, lesser of 2 evils. There, that's the argument. It doesn't matter what the republicans say, any republican president is just gonna be worse in terms of giving tax cuts to rich people, especially if there's a majority republican house/senate. You can say whatever shit you want about Biden, he sucks. But voting republican is never going to be a better alternative. Also Bernie advocating for rich people to pay their fair share and owning multiple homes is not hypocritical. Tax him, I'm sure he'll be completely ok with that. He's never said that people shouldn't be allowed to own multiple properties Healthcare is perfectly affordable if the US stops spending trillions of dollars a year on the military, war, tax cuts for the rich, overfunded police (who do nothing when there's a school shooting happening so what's even the point)

Why do I have a slight feeling the single may get announced in August and released either in September or October?🤔

The last show is on July 2nd so I’m hoping we get some news after July 4th that week!!! Then they got Lollapalooza at the end of July.

Can’t believe this is finally happening in a week ❤️

Someone should try to catch a soundcheck for any new songs. Remember when we heard Stay the Night for the first time in 2010, 2 years before they recorded it? They also played Geek Stink Breath at a soundcheck before it was recorded for Insomniac. This video was also featured on Green Day Rock Band

Tbh, I appreciate Billie's honesty that he's not very informed about what's going on in the world outside of his home country, because that's true for like at least 95% of people. I mean, I'm pretty ignorant about what's going on in most places of the world. Ik what's happening in my country & in the US to a degree. But idk that much about what's going on in the rest of the world. Ignorance is not a good thing but pretending to know everything that's going on is just as bad, if not worse What he said about FOAMF is interesting. Obviously, the band is not going to say that "I hate that record that we just released a couple years ago" and I never thought that they hated it or that they just released it to get out of their contract. But I am curious about him pointing out that he especially likes side two of the album because that seems to be the case with most of the fans that they prefer side 2. So does he not care for the singles as much? (Does he agree with me that Teenage Teenager is an abomination of a song )

While I'd be happy with the album releasing in 2023 if they're really putting that much work into it -- I also think maybe don't take this Kerrang thing as gospel? Sounds more like he's trying to make a point about the weirdness of time after the pandemic etc. rather than saying definitively that that's when the album is coming out. I also don't think we know when the interview actually happened? Things could have changed/sped up since. As long as we at least get a single this year, I think I'm happy

Maybe because we’re willfully ignorant but also maybe because our own are so all consuming. It’s why he wants to peace out. I don’t blame him.

Sounds like trilogy to me

Uno vibes and sounds?!
