It's funny you mention this, I recently got an email at greenday.fm from an old man that said "I was looking at the attached photo, which I took aboard the train from Melbourne to Sydney, in the 90s. The dude in the attached photo, sat next to me and asked if I had heard of 'Green Day' and I said yes and then he said he was part of that band. How cool. I can only say that you, Mike, have become even more cool as the years have gone by." The attached photo of "Mike Dirnt"

I'm sorry but no way. I've followed my beloved Green Day since '91. Billie Joe, Mike and Tre is Green Day and Green Day is Billie Joe, Mike and Tre, period. Irreplaceable.

Aargh, why are we even having this convo, it breaks my heart to think of it. 🥹🥹 I don’t see GD continuing without any of the three, just can’t imagine it. If something happened to one of them I don’t think the other two would carry on. The only thing I could see would be Billie Joe going solo after a while but I sincerely hope they keep going as long as they enjoy it.

Ok, let's say by some miracle you find a Mike2 and a Tre2. What about Billie Joe? He's one hell of a songwriter, churns out awesome songs time and time again, sings and is one amazing guitarist. But that's not all. Seeing Billie Joe live on stage is something else. I remember at Milton Keynes, the AI tour '05, 65k people, and he is in total control. The perfect showman. Your just totally mesmerized as he runs round the stage, lifting his hands like a conductor and you respond. So where the fuck are yer gonna find a Billie Joe2? Not on this fuckin planet.

When John Kiffmeyer (Al Sobrante) left GD to attend college Billie Joe and Mike tried other drummers but the band almost folded. Then after a few weeks, The Lookouts broke up and their drummer Tre Cool became available. He immediately took GD to next level. Both his drumming qualities and his unique personality, was perfect for the band. The rest is history. There are many amazing drummers out there but is there another Tre? The band have always loved and craved touring. I think they've a few years yet. If they break up, what if Tre quits? I'll cop out on that one. I don't want to think about it, yet.

You know what I think I’d make a decent Billie Joe if I got on t

I think it's just an old photo

I still can't get over how Van Halen, Journey and Queen replaced their frontmen but no, Green Day won't continue as Green Day without all three.

Kiffmeyer should be back

No unless it would be a good opportunity to make it one.

For a record recorded in the UK and US? 1972 is actually called Transatlantic Idiot confirmed!

It's just an amp with Idiot written on it

Can someone post a screenshot?

You know what yeah I would love that

I think this might be the first time they addressed the new album directly instead of a cryptic studio teaser. Not sure why they didn't put the #1972 hashtag in this latest Tiktok though

That wouldn’t happen.

Green day probably isn't showing us any teasers because the album sucks donkey balls. Yeah i can feel it

I just can’t imagine them being Green Day without Billie, Mike or Tre!

This thread is going absolutely nowhere. Green Day haven't posted anything about 1972 in like 2 months and yet this thread is still alive.

Never heard of this but wow, that had to be Putin

When you get unreasonably excited when one IG account you follow that has nothing to do with Green Day uses the Billie clapping gif in a story.

When downtown the lights will be shining on me

When you exclaim/gasp/groan/grump at work about something and your co-workers turn around and ask "is this a work problem or a Green Day problem?"
