Who did the cover photo for RevRad, and does anyone know what brand of radio it is? I tried searching for this, because I know I've read it somewhere, either on this site or somewhere else. I cant seem to find it now.

The photo was taken by Nick Spanos, but no idea about brand of the radio.

Where did the blue denim vest come from? I know he's had it for months now but I recall him like taking a vest from a fan and wearing it for a bit, is this the same one or is this one he made? (I'm referring to the one he wears for a few songs toward the end of every show lately).

He did say on the instagram post from that show (Green Bay) that he had to give it back. It also had a bunch of different patches on it already so I don't know why he'd completely re-work it even if he did keep it, guessing he just got inspired and had one made. Bless this fan though, it's such a good look on him.

Someone should tell Billie it's not punk to have a vest made 😉. Gotta DIY that shit, haha. Cool, that's basically what I thought but wasn't sure. Thanks!

Lol, for all we know he made the blue one himself, I don't think he started wearing one regularly until the Aus/NZ leg. Although he did reach a point of wearing like three different ones (denim/waistcoats) each show at the most and gradually switching out patches for a while throughout the summer! Now I'm picturing him spending his hotel room evenings sewing/ironing lol - perhaps not :P

Blue had the tape around the large cut away because at one of green days first gigs someone knocked into Billie and blue fell and it cracked that cut away and Billie covered it with tape

Billie and 80 split for a short while during the recording of cookie and both saw other people Billie wrote she about his then girlfriend

Billie has one blue replica from the nimrod tour in his shed

pulling teeth was written about how mike broke his elbow while in a pillow fight with his then girlfriend

the couch that Billie sat on during the Longview music video just minutes before they filmed the video Billie watched the new report on Kurt Cobains death

Billies favourite drink is root beer

Billie put the bj on blue because he is a huge fan of Stevie ray vaun

Tre's dad built Larry Livermore's house

mike smoked pot for the first time with his adopted mothers friend

Billie has no memory of the iheart radio meltdown nor does he remember anything about the show

billie still has the shirt from the basket case music video & longview

if you look at the album cover for the on the radio bootleg their is a bottle of 409 in a coffee maker

billies favourite song on Kerplunk is who wrote Holden Caulfield

in billies guitar case for all his guitars he uses at shows he has the first dollar green day ever made hung up

tre was class president in high school

That's all I have for now that I can think of off the top of my head I hope you enjoy :)

Nice set of facts, but I just want to point out that this one is false (the Longview video was filmed several months before Cobain's death).

No worries, it's printed as a "fact" in a lot of places. I think it came from the whole grunge dying and pop punk taking over thing, someone must've thought it sounded good.

Has Billie ever mentioned Mickey the dog other than on the Jeff Matika Show in 2013 or on the Instagram livestream with all the dogs? He never seems to talk about Mickey.

Isn't Mickey Adrienne's dog? She's always posting pictures of him on Instagram. I assumed that was why Billie doesn't seem to pay much attention to him.

He mentioned all of them in last year's Rolling Stone's story-

"He's even learning to enjoy days when not much happens, when he can wake up; walk his four dogs ("Mojo, Mickey, Rocky and Cleo – they kind of sound like a band")"

I don’t know why but I always thought of Rocky as being Billie’s dog and the other three Adrienne’s. It just seemed that way to me.

Yeah Rocky definitely seems like he was Billie's dog. I always thought Mojo was his dog too. His little satan dog. :lol:

As for Cleo, I have no idea.

To be fair the amount of attention he's happened to pay each dog on social media probably isn't a very accurate representation of how much attention he pays to each dog irl :P. It's not like he posts about them every day, he only mentions any of them occasionally so it's probably just chance which ones he has a good photo of or something to say about etc.
