Popular Post Hermione Posted July 4, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2019 Anyone could not be doing fine at any time. But to me it makes sense that if someone (particularly someone you don't know) isn't fine it's up to them whether to tell you that information or not, not for you to speculate, and until they do you treat them as fine. So just seeing Billie doing something he hasn't promised not to do and that isn't new and that doesn't appear to be anything more than a happy social moment isn't a reason to have a worried discussion about him and have to have a whole debate and speculation about his addiction treatment. If Billie wants to share information about his addiction issues or health then we can react to it. Otherwise we should stop speculating. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark circles around glassy-looking eyes, underweight, a very different personality than typical Billie. He did not look or seem physically or mentally healthy.

Nobody noticed anything wrong at the time though, no one was saying this. Only with hindsight. There's been many times he's had addiction and health problems since the beginning of Green Day's career, not only during the trilogy time. There's simply no point in speculating about his health at any given time. The point is you can't judge someone's health one way or the other just by what you think you can tell by observing them. That's for him and his doctor to do. We don't need to try and do it here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted July 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Honestly, no one knew Billie wasn't alright during the trilogy era. Irving Plaza is awful to watch now but at the time he was praised for just being "on fire" and the show as one of their best. In hindsight everyone thinks they knew and granted, a few people did raise eyebrows at the surprise Reading appearance. It wasn't many though. He's said he wasn't alright in 1997, but he didn't look like he did in the trilogy era then. Seeing photos and knowing he's with certain people doesn't tell us anything. I still don't think anyone can be blamed for worrying but even if going further wasn't invasive, there's no point because unless he tells us, we won't know what's going on.

Agreed. I also don't think people can be blamed for worrying, you can't help how you feel, but it also has to be said that doesn't mean it's ok to have a big discussion speculating about Billie's past, present and future health. It's up to him whether to decide to share information relating to his health or addiction issues with us or not, not for us to try and figure out (which we wouldn't be able to do accurately anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but one doesn't get into that state overnight. What I'm saying is, we know nothing so why pretend otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time, please only use this thread to post the most teeny tiny, insignificant, truly "random" news, stuff that wouldn't get more than a couple of posts in response. Unless it fits that description, always make a thread for it! There's always room for new threads and we'd like to see lots of them being made so that more people hear about new articles, interviews, cool things etc and there's more space to discuss them. To recap, if in doubt don't post here, make a thread. Thank you Also please note: When posting an article don't just post a link with no description of what it is. Make sure to always include a few words to describe what the article is about and why Green Day is mentioned in it. Last but not least credit to @crock6000 for inventing and creating the original Random Green Day News thread Saw a picture of Tre at my local record store, I'll see if I can nab a pic with it next time I'm there. It was from Rev Rad, I know that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thing is I think Brendon Urie has his own controversial views and issues. I remember them sparking off a while back when he announced his pansexuality. (Not as bad as Morrissey for sure, though!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yeah I think people would still have something to say about a Brendon Urie collab. I won't be surprised if it happens though. Seems like a Crush thing with them being introduced on New Year's Eve. I do like P!ATD's new stuff but I have no idea how this would sound. Could be amazing or awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squashie Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They are managed by the same group (also appears to be the same overseer, Scott Nagelberg, based on insta follows from band & spouses and some of Scotts posts in late 2017). I'm not a Panic fan, but Brenden has a great voice and I think him and Billie Joe would mesh well together. His collab with T Swift wasn't bad. Not my taste, but their voices sounded good together.
