The Green Day Fangirls' Confessions Thread

Billie and Mike are so cute onstage  

[jengd]

I love Billie’s hands.  He has bendy thumbs like my husband and long nail beds like me.  I know, pathetic but those are the only similarities and you can’t take them away from me  😂😂😂😍😍😍

Mike doesn’t get enough love in this thread and it makes me sad  

[Montclare]

Seeing as it's Jason Freese's birthday today, let's have some Billie/Jason appreciation in here.

 

[Hermione]

Jason Freese is always so much fun on stage. I loved how he and Billie would have a sax/kazoo battle on the last tour

Wow, what a way to start a morning, throwbacks and memories. Emotions spinning round.... They were so much fun, Freese is fantastic, I love him! And then watching Billie's expressions, it's all too much 😍😭😍😭😍😭💚💚💚💚

You know, you’re right!! When they played the small venues before the revrad tour I saw them at 9:30 Club in DC. Seeing them so close for the first time ever I definitely fangirled hard over Mike! I get so caught up with Billie, for so many reasons other than his physical appearance, I never really paid much attention to the other guys. But honestly Mike was way hotter on stage that night!

There are different time periods where I think Mike or Tre are hot/cute, just not all the time like Billie. But they definitely have their moments. They are all cute during the Dookie period, especially the When I Come Around Video. Mike looks great there and Tre was so cute in the early nineties. Then also in the AI period all three of them were smokin hot.

I also really love the way he holds microphones, with his hand cupping all the way around it  idk that's something else I always pay attention to with him

and around the mic stand  it's funny because often when he holds stuff that are not music related he seems a bit awkward (all the while cute), holding a piece of paper or a glass of wine for instance, but yeah every time he holds the mic, his guitar or anything during a gig he just puts his beautiful hands in the sexiest way possible

@The Bellie What about hand and beautiful eyes in the same picture? I love the Punx tattoo on his left hand.

One of the first beautiful eye / hand pic I can think of is this one (if you zoom on his eye it's almost unreal )

SO SOFT! He grabbed my hand from the stage after the Longshot show in DC and I held on tight for as long as I could.  When I close my eyes I can still remember what it felt like. Strong but soft. For someone who’s done construction work, worked on cars and plays guitar you would expect them to feel tougher and more calloused but not at all. Baby soft hands. ✋🥰❤️

I also had the luck to hold his hand briefly at the end of my first Longshot gig in Brooklyn, I was in second row and brought my hand forward as he was shaking hands in the front right before leaving the stage, and I was so glad that he took mine, but I didn't try to hold it too long since he had leaned over a bit to reach me and I didn't want to bother him. I was just a quick clamping and then I let go. But my friend I went with, who was in second row as well next to me, was hardier than me, like you she didn't let go of his hand immediately, while giving him our flag we had brought, to make him understand that she wanted him to take it, and he did. I was completely awed by how she did it, one of my best visual memories from that night is seeing her holding Billie's hand, Billie staying still for a few seconds, until he moved away while taking the flag with him

For my part, I don't fangirl on Mike individually, but I love him, and I fangirl on seeing Billie and Mike together a lot. Mike matters so much to GD and to Billie. Like @R_Z-Log says, he's awesome to watch at a gig, The only time I was first row at a GD gig I was on Mike's side and, even though I didn't see Billie a lot in front of me, seeing Mike all the time was anything but boring. Even my mom who loves Billie "especially for his music" as she says to me, while having never talked to me directly about the other GD members, was disappointed when I showed her Longshot gigs, because "where are Mike and Tre?"  even though she is not a fangirl, she had a typical slightly possessive fan reaction about seeing other guys next to Billie during a gig, which proved even she had felt attached to Mike and Tre. Her reaction amused me a bit  (I also think Mike is more her type than Billie!)

I found this angry face competition 

and the quality of the pic is not tremendous but look at the way Mike looks at Billie, it's so endearing 

And since it's Jason Freese's birthday, here are pics of him with Billie when he comes up front for KFAD

[jengd]

I particularly love that one with Mike in the background looking at Billie.  I know we talk loads about Billie and what an awesome front man he is, but I wonder if there are times when Mike and Tre are like "wow, when did that happen", do you think maybe sometimes they can't quite believe it themselves, especially given the conversation that is supposed to have happened between Mike and Billie about who would front the band?

I think from the way they talk about Billie in interviews it’s clear they’re pretty in awe of him still ❤️

[Goofygoldfish]

Today I have been fangirling over this photo, we don't get to see his bare back very often. So smooth and hairless ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and I'm sure as soft as his hands, you girls are so lucky you've had chance to hold them 😍😍

I particularly love these Billie and Mike pictures.  It's so obvious how much they love each other and it's just super sweet! ❤️

And Mike's face in this one is so great!

Yes, but in a good way 😈😈😍😍😂😂

Mike and Billie’s friendship is everything to me. The way they’ve been there for each other inseparable since they were ten, it’s a big part of the magic behind the band.  When Tre came along he immediately clicked and was a third best friend.  There’s just a different feel with a band of lifelong best friends versus a band of musicians with members that come and go that don’t particularly like each other. You see it in interviews, performances, their social media.  It’s in their body language.  Their friendship forms the basis of everything and makes the music more meaningful and deepens the love I feel for this band.

So well put! Excuse me I need to listen to Outlaws now

Agreed.  I think friendship, especially pre-fame, going back to childhood, is one of the most important elements to keeping a band going.  You look at a band like GD or Muse, where they've all been friends forever, and you know they're not going to break up (knocking on wood so I don't jinx that now).  Whereas a band like Fleetwood Mac or the Eagles, you have breakups, members coming and going, etc.  It's just not the same bond.

[RedundantIdiot]

One of the many things that I liked about the Rev Rad tour was seeing GD laughing and joking at the end of Good Riddance. Here's some examples: 

This one where Mike and Tre carry Billie off stage 🤣

Mike touching Billies hair, and the boys laughing 😍

The one where Mike and Tre had their masks on 🤣

[Hermione]

With hindsight it's kind of weird that they didn't all come on stage at the end of shows before, like from AI onwards even though the rest of the show was so well choreographed the standard thing was for Mike and Tre to just wander off not to be seen again before the last song lol, and they even did reappear at the end occasionally (eg in BIAB) so it's not like they just hadn't had the idea yet, they chose not to do it. It fits perfectly for them to pop back and all end the show together like that, glad they started doing it at every show and having so much fun with it.

Yes!  I loved that too.  These were some of my favorites.

Billie feeling up Mike and Tre.

Billie and Mike high fiving.

Billie and Tre's kiss.

And Billie and Mike's kiss.

I love when Mikes looks at Billie during gigs, he often turns his head to look at him: 

 < even here I'm sure he is

Speaking of feeling up (maybe not to the same level ), this was one of the first pics I saw of Rev Rad era and I was so in love with it right away 

and I love this one as well, Billie seems in heaven, almost closing his eyes as he takes support with his foot on Mike  It's funny because I can't look at that picture without thinking that's an image for what's going on between them in real: support, faith, counting on each other

Thinking back now, I think the love between Billie, Mike and Tre, even before knowing their whole story, but with just what I could see of them when looking up for vids and pics during concerts, contributed a lot to make me fall in love with the band right away. And as it's the first band I was so deeply in (not only for the music, but also for the band members themselves), I didn't realize that their level friendship is a rare thing in a band, and I didn't know that many other bands, even famous, would break up, reform, etc. I was having Green Day's example and thought the only way to form a band was when the members loved each other like Billie, Mike and Tre, it seemed inconceivable to me otherwise  and it still sounds weird to me when I see very successful bands which members don't necessarily have that same bond. It's like: something is missing in that band, where are the hugs and the messing around together? 

[jengd]

I so agree with all everyone has said here about the relationship the guys have, I think it shows in everything they do. I so love that bit at the end of The Ride, when Tre, who we so often take as saying weird and random stuff, says "if you find yourself in the same band with the same guys 30 years on, it's a very good think if you love those guys" it gets me every time I watch it, which is quite a lot 😂

[R_Z-Log]

Ok speaking of fangirling over Mike... I know we’re split on the “men with babies” subject, but I guess Mike and Brittany went to meet Tre’s baby last night and Brittany posted a picture of Mike holding the baby on her IG story, and I melted into a puddle of mush. There was also one of Tre taking a picture of mike holding the baby and he looked like such a proud dad.  It was all so freaking adorable. It also goes back to their friendship in a way. They’re all a big happy family and I love it!!

 

Also I’m not sure if I’m allowed to share those pics here, but either way I can’t figure out how because apparently I’m 100 years old, so if it’s allowed someone should post them so everyone can enjoy!!

[Squashie]

Here are the pics from Brit's insta story. Mike looks so handsome!
