Hey, Getty Images came through with a few! I’m sorry I’m not good at posting pics, but here’s the link. Looking very snazzy (and blonde 😅): https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/billie-joe-armstrong?family=editorial&assettype=image&phrase=Billie Joe Armstrong&sort=newest

From Billie's Instagram story

The bigger the floof the better! He looked gorgeous last night.

This is perhaps one of my faves with those eyes!

Getting confused as to what I have and haven't uploaded now so I'll leave it at that for now

Just found it here:

I’ve seen pics and videos of other celebrities at this ceremony in past years — I’m thinking whatever his part is will be uploaded to YouTube eventually and I’m sure we’ll see pictures, too!

This was really good, love how enthusiastic Billie always is when talking about music. Best quote: "I'm a rock n roll whore"

Just getting them uploaded to Tumblr. There's 41 pics altogether so it will take me a while. Here's the first batch

The floof is off the charts! His hair at this event reminded me of "smexy lion club" (for appreciating Billie's lion's mane-like fluffy hair) back in the day on GDC Adorable: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/billie-joe-armstrong-speaks-onstage-during-the-35th-glaad-news-photo/2085541185?adppopup=true

Some of those Getty pics are great, tease hasn’t done a thing to his hair! I love that the shirt with cherries is back and red socks to match. 😂❤️

Looks like it's getting underway (red carpet) now No Billie yet

Yeah I’m not sure they could, but it’s hard to say. I think Having a Blast’s feel is that of a band that had nothing to lose, was young, and frustrated. Bang Bang is much more metaphorical and doesn’t spell it out like the younger, less famous version of Green Day. And I think as a song itself, Bang Bang feels like it was more of a song that was written with its audience in mind and is more self-conscious, as opposed to Having a Blast. And yes it’s underrated for sure!

They took away my favorite roast Atomic Garden Also the announcement mentioned something about shirt? I see no shirt - just two types of coffee.

Front standing in Cape Town sold out!

Billie and Adrienne are such a hot couple! And the cherries shirt is super cute

Quick! Someone put the GLAAD photos on the Fangirls thread! 😄

I also posted them here (the two good ones at least. He’s making a funny face in some of them) https://www.instagram.com/p/C4hNlxINnTQ/?igsh=dXNlbWlrM2NwYTZi

Me too. Gonna have to check out and get to bed and start looking again in the morning! Have to say I live under a rock and have no idea who most of these people are

They mentioned in their email that they had to switch suppliers and can no longer source their compostable bags. I’m okay with that but I hope they still have the cupless pods because that was a unique thing and I hate throwing all those pods away.

I think these are the rest of the pics (some of them are very similar so it's hard to tell!)

Keep em coming!

Tons of photos and videos from the event but I can’t find him anywhere

I have family members who are really into genealogy as a hobby, so I find it quite endearing that he’s so into it and is willing to share it. I remember him saying in one of the podcasts he did that he’s interested in it because it’s a way for him to learn more about his dad, and that’s really sweet. In all seriousness, he should go on one of those shows that helps celebrities track down their family history. Those shows are really cool, and he clearly has a passion for it.

The other big change is the way concerts are. They used to be a mix of big hits, new songs and fan favorites but now it's all anniversary tours. I just saw that Weezer are doing a big 30th of the Blue Album. Which is kind of cool, but to me it's just another way we'll never get to hear something really special or unique at a rock show. The blue album is kind of like Dookie. Weezer has played most of those songs at every single shows for 30 years. They'll probably play a few other big hits. But definitely won't be able to cover all 15 albums and 4 EPs. lol. The difference is that Weezer seem have halted putting out a new album in order to do this tour, which is better than Green Day trying to cram three things into one tour.

Having a blast is underrated. I always thought it was about a school shooter. Every time I listen to it I wonder if they could get away with that song now.

Green Day Facebook: Punk Bunny Coffee is now open for presale! 🐰👨‍🎤🧑‍🎤👩‍🎤 punkbunnycoffee.com Yep, you can only pre-order two kinds of coffee. There will be more when it is fully available in a couple months. Everyone give a big f*** you to Todd Madden on Facebook who responded with I'm sure it has more taste than your music. 😄

Me too. I'm definitely getting old though it doesn't seem that long ago but it was 2011

I wonder if we'll get any pro photos or anything like that tonight?

Anyway for now it's USA only.

It's just the first wave, the full product line comes in May

Is this still up anywhere for someone with access to it to record? It's still not on Spotify etc and they've posted two newer podcasts now. Would be much appreciated if someone could record and share it!

New Green Day Interview:

They probably will do a 30th Anniversary for Insomniac next year. I actually think they did a good job with promotion for the album. The debut of 1981 in August, The American Dream is Killing Me in October, Look Ma, No Brains in November, Dilemma in December, and One Eyed bastard in January. Not to mention all of the listening parties, New Years Rockin Eve, ect. Dilemma was the only thing they posted about for 2 weeks when it came out. I do agree that no one really pushes or talks about it anymore. I feel they promoted it pretty well overall.

Billie just posted a picture of himself on Insta stories in foils and I swear to god if he gets rid of the blonde I will go into a period of mourning.

His nails are in far better condition than mine, I guess he really needs to look after his hands. Such muscular fingers!

I'm thinking the line "we all die young some day" is like everybody, no matter who they are, rich or poor, famous or not, grows up with hopes and dreams but as we get older realise that some of those hopes and dreams will never come to fruition and a little bit of us dies with each or any of them over time Would be interesting to hear other people's thoughts on that
