Looks like where Billie shot the video. Maybe they want us to solve a riddle or something. A hidden message in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious video pops up on GDC, Green Day give an interview to GDA, now strange insta posts... all in the same week. Coincidence? I think not.

herewegoagain Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Sara's story is from 15 hours ago though, and the BillnTed post was from around the time they were on stage in Omaha, if I'm not mistanken? Also when did BillTed edit the OP to include the Vimeo link? Could swear it wasn't there yesterday. WE KNOW YOU'RE LURKING omg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyMoffatt Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 58 minutes ago, GreenDayTheory said: I messaged this guy and still no response.Seems suspicious A message to BillnTed? Yes, he seems suspicious because he posted the video here while no one would have find it otherwise. It's like releasing a bomb here and no one knows what to do with it. Plus, he joined GDC in 2013 and never posted before. The only 2 messages he did were posting the links for us to see the video. Some of you posted questions for him to answer, but he didn't reply while he could have done it when he went online yesterday. Also, in his first post, he did ask us to reply and tell him if the video was true. Then, why did he never continued the conversation with us to figure out the truth? On the other hand, it doesn't mean BillnTed is related to Billie Joe or the band. Maybe he was just lucky enough to find the video. And if you search the username in Google, there are so many people using it everywhere. Even a computer virus is named BillnTed. The only thing that still makes it possible that BillnTed and Billie Joe are related (even being the same person like some of you suggested) is the GDC joined date: 2013. There is this rumour going on since 2013 that Billie Joe joined GDC that year. Mike did visit GDC in 2013 for sure because he posted on Instagram a fanart which was originaly only available here in the restricted members only section. From there, people at the time asked if Billie and Tré were members too and no admin/moderator denied it nor confirmed it, but said something like they know about GDC. Anyway, concerning the video, it's kind of weird that while Billie complains about a recent tragic event, this video was released almost at the same time and fits perfectly with Billie's mood about the world right now. Also, it is impossible that it was fanmade. Billie filmed himself doing the lipsing on his own song during the time he was on break and GD team shared the video on Facebook without saying anything. The video is clearly a DiY (Billie having help or not to create it, that's not important), but GD unofficialy accepts its existence. Another point, the Rev Rad account on Vimeo was created just to post this particular video. It kinds of feel that Billie wanted to create something about what he feels at the moment and shares it with the world, but he didn't want to make it like an official GD video and having problem with the unauthorize use of images. So, it was better to have the video with an unknown author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 45 people not 95. My retired parents use every form of social media in existence. It's necessary if they want to keep in touch with their adult children around the world and right before retiring, their business called for them to be capable. Nobody automatically knows how to livestream or use any form of social media etc. Everyone learns. It's extremely easy. If Billie was still struggling to use social media over five years after joining Instagram and six years after joining twitter etc I'd be extremely worried about his mental capacity. I'm not however because as most of us know he has a private IG account with literally thousands of posts. He's a social media junkie. He pretends to be useless because fans think it's cute for some stupid reason. 100% agreed. And just as he pretends to be struggling more than he is, some fans exaggerate in their heads little things they've nitpicked and decided was him struggling because as you said, they think it's cute. Maybe because it fits with the "daddy" fetish that's seemingly everywhere . I'm not sure we'll ever know the mystery behind the way this video appeared but I'm glad it did!

It's genuinely relevant to current worldwide situations. Has decent lyrics. It would be a perfect option. It would resonate with SO many people. This video would actually be really cool if they can release it officially without being sued for copyright infringement by various news companies. It's extremely intense, there is so much going on that it takes multiple viewings to see it all. The nature of the content is in most cases shocking and thought provoking and fits perfectly with the theme of the song meaning the song is thought provoking. Perfect. Also it's done on a budget. A throwback to the 90's style videos yet looks really cool/vintage rather than cheap. I really hope this does become an official release. I agree..I have never really like song.T Ts from RevRad..but now after re-watching the new video of Billie Made..over and over again..the song really grow on me..it is epic!
