Popular Post herewegoagain Posted October 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2017 "Makeup entrepreneur" Quote Billie Joe Armstrong: ‘I Once Had a Punk Phase’ BERKELEY, Calif – Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of famed rock band Green Day, claims he once had a “brief punk phase” in the early nineties. Memes flooded Twitter after Armstrong said that for a brief time he was, “really into The Misfits” and even dyed his hair blond in a recent interview. “It was right before we signed to Reprise Records. We released a couple albums that no one ever talks about, but thankfully we were able to get some exposure. I look at those pictures and just feel so silly,” said Armstrong. “I had this awful haircut and ripped up jeans. And I remember being really upset when I got the news GG Allin died. I cried for days.” Throughout his storied career with Green Day, Armstrong, the makeup entrepreneur, has sold more than 85 million records worldwide and won five Grammy Awards. The frontman’s claim sparked much debate on social media where users quickly found old photos of Armstrong from his so-called punk phase. “Wow, yeah I guess this is what you might consider punk if your parents were Hot Topic mannequins and you were born inside a mall food court,” said one user who reportedly still argues about who is punk or not online. Friends of Armstrong say he still struggles with his punk phase and, although he relapses from time to time, he always recovers. “I thought it was great when they came back and did a secret show at Gilman,” said Green Day superfan Jake Smith. “Kinda a bummer they decided to do a full rendition of their Broadway show instead of just playing songs though.” http://thehardtimes.net/music/billie-joe-armstrong-punk-phase/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IcyMoffatt Posted October 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 Remember the pregnant girl in Quebec City who got on stage and Billie gave the guitar to the baby? Here is the video for you to remember: Well, now, here is an article about the baby and the guitar with pictures of both! (The article is in french, sorry.)http://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2017/10/20/green-day-donne-une-guitare-a-un-bebe-quebecois In resume, Alexandra was 14 weeks pregnant when she went to the concert. She gave birth a few weeks ago. The baby is girl and she was named Emilie-Joe. Alexandra will give the guitar to Emilie-Joe when she will be older just like Billie asked. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm too much used to hear or read «Billie Joe» everyday. I'm imagining the kid later explaining at school why her name is Emilie-JOE. I sent the article on Twitter to Billie. I hope he sees it. It would be great if he sees it and reactes to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 “No, the bigger question here is how did Armstrong, of all people, get to become the face of guyliner—and in 2017, no less?” Rude. It’s because he’s Kat’s friend and it made sense and he’s probably giving less of a shit about things like this than he did years ago? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I mean it's makeup. I don't think one person can be the "face" of eyeliner, so I don't get why the article is making a stink about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Sounds like a jealous non-fan had to fill some column inches, few men have worn it as well or for so long. They even missed the point that this smudgy eyeliner, more poor “journalism”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaslight13 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Interesting interpretation of this song, hahha...http://www.rrdailyherald.com/opinion/enjoying-lyrics-of-autumn-songs/article_56e2fb88-b8d2-11e7-8735-2fdc5f9dfcb9.html "I really enjoyed the lyrics to “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day. This song follows the notion of the seasons like ages of our lives. Spring is childhood. Summer is teenage and young adult. Fall brings more experience and adulthood. Winter, of course, is for growing older. The song references the innocence of summer that doesn’t last and the end of September when we become who we really are."
