We need that Christmas album, supposing we have to sign a waiver to get it!

I think we can presume that will sound like AI Teasers is almost always referencing songs of AI... even the studio they was recording.

From what we've heard so far is it safe to say 1972 is going to sound just like American idiot? I wonder how it'll deviate (besides modern BJA voice.)

I liked his appearence on This is 40 😄 Unfortunately this scene was deleted:

(to the melody of American Idiot, with a dash of Amy and MCR's na na na for some reason) Da na na na na na na na na na na Da na na na na na na na na na na I wanna live in 1972, sh!t One nation soaring to the finish line Can you hear Queen on the radio (gaga gaga gaga) Freddie Mercury's a friend of mine (Freddie Don't you goooo) Maybe I'm Father of all hippies I'm not a part of Nixon, maybe baby I F like a Kennedy Oh yeah!

a first single should answer many questions until then, we can just guess and assume

Maybe this is why he's let his hair go gray. 🧐

Maybe Green Day will satiate us with the Dirty Polka Christmas album so the fanbase doesn't freak out while waiting on 1972. Tis the season. Also, I bet Tre and Mike sang a lot on that one.

Christmas ornaments count as fan art, right? I made these for GD friends (and kept a couple for myself ). One bonus bookmark too.

Those were the days 😄

How many songs fit in an attic? Okay, dude is on the case. I'll figure out the average attic size, the average Green Day song size and we'll finally have an exact number! I bet Coffee and Repent, Songs For A-Holes, Cigerettes and Valentines and even a Christmas Polka album or three are up right now, smoking a fatty and chillin'.

The next album will contain the 1972nd song they’ve ever written

I liked him on Haunted. I liked the character he was playing and the set definitely matched him. It was a perfect fit. Agreed. I never saw all of like sunday like rain but the trailer was enough to put me off. Ordinary World was definitely better. It’s funny to see Billie working and living an ordinary life. He always seems a bit stumped when interviewers ask what he would have ended up doing if the band didnt make it

Very interesting article about 21st Century Breakdown and the process of how Butch Vig and Green Day got together. Butch Vig even says that he heard about 70 songs before recording the album! https://www.mixonline.com/recording/music-green-day-366107

To be fair in the main, it’s concern for his health and well-being but as @Sheenius said, there are correlations between weight and health and performance and I think it’s fair to say we want Billie Joe well and performing well for a long time, we also know Billie has had some issues in the past so we worry. Having said all that, he is 50 which I know is old to some of you but it’s not like he’s 70! More issues do appear as you get older but 50 is not old. Anyway, we’ll possibly get a row for talking about this so I’ll stop.

It seems this thread always has to have something to talk about, despite there being zero information for months. I can't take any more drug-fueled track lists.

Why are we talking about someone’s body and weight in 2022 pls it’s irrelevant

He said at the Coverups show that he wasn’t drinking any beer. I think that contributes to his ups and downs to a large extent. On the wagon again.

IN REMEMBRANCE 50 years ago today, November 16, 1972, Jason Andrew Relva was born. He became a childhood friend of Mike Dirnt. Sadly, he died following injuries he sustained in a car accident on April 18, 1992. He was 19 years old. Mike wrote the song entitled J. A. R. in remembrance of him. In the song, Mike is talking about his friend who is now gone and about what it makes him feel. He’s saying that this death made him face the fact that he’s mortal and his life could end any second. Mike is saying that he’s living life just like his friend did, but now his friend is gone and maybe he didn’t give all that he could, but it’s too late now. My friend drove off the other day, now he’s gone and all they say Is “you got to live cause life goes on…” But now I see I’m mortal too, I can’t live my life like you Got to live it up while life goes on And I think it’s all right That I do what I like ‘Cause that’s the way I want to live It’s how I give, and I’m still givin’… And now I wonder ‘bout my friend, if he gave all he could give ‘Cause he lived his life like I live mine If you could see inside my head, then you’d start to understand The things I value in my heart And I think it’s all right That I do what I like ‘Cause that’s the way I want to live It’s how I give, and I’m still givin’… You know that I know that You’re watchin’ me! And I think it’s all right That I do what I like ‘Cause that’s the way I want to live It’s how I give, and I’m still givin’… Got to make a plan, got to do what’s right Can’t run around in circles if you wanna build a life But I don’t want to make a plan for a day far away While I’m young and while I’m able, all I want to do is… R.I.P. It was first heard as an acoustic demo later that year. The song appeared again on the Dookie demos in 1993 at Art of Ears and Dancing Dog studios. It later featured on the soundtrack to the movie Angus in 1995 and released as 7” single. It featured on the greatest hits collection International Superhits 2001, and the live album Awesome as Fuck 2011.

For those who haven't seen it yet, this is one of the highlight scenes 😉

Cool! I greatly enjoy watching Billie act whether it's good or bad . But I think the best acting he's done (besides the AI musical which was on stage + singing so more in his usual lane) was in Ordinary World. I thought the film itself wasn't great but the acting including Billie's was good. So hoping something comes from this.
