I mean, it has to be distracting during a vacation I kinda want to watch the videos posted here but I'm reluctant to because it feels like I'm stalking him for that reason lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am just filled with joy for what he's gotten to experience! With all the pictures and videos that we've gotten, it kind of feels like we were able to be there with him. Not physically of course, but in spirit. I'm so grateful to be a Green Day fan right now and know that Billie is truly one of the most genuine, good hearted, and incredible people in the world. He has the ability to connect with an entire city, who loves him and which he loves back. Not only that, but it's the city of his heritage and both sides are proud that that's the case. That's really amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Billie Joe Armstrong yesterday at the Ristorante Marina Grande of Amalfi. As he writes Amalfi News the American singer arrived in Naples on Saturday's day to visit then viggiano, a small country of three thousand inhabitants in the province of power, town of origin of his greats. After visiting viggiano the green day frontman then decided to spend a few hours of vacation even on the amalfi coast which, in these days of late June, saw many vips coming. In the company of Jason White, second guitarist of green day, and their wives, Billie Joe Armstrong has tasted some mixed specialities (squid parm, pecorino bagnolese; local tuna tartare, red shrimp water, Capers, oregano , spuma di bufala; tubettone con scorfano alla puttanesca; SPAGHETTI GENTILE IGP POMODORO SAN MARZANO DOP; Capriccio Marina Grande, tortino al cioccolato valrhona caraibe 66 %, gelato fior di latte) fermandosi poi amabilmente a conversare con Gianpaolo Esposito Owner Del Ristorante On the sea together with brother Enzo, Together they talked a little about California considering they live near San Francisco. https://www.google.it/amp/s/amalfinotizie.it/billie-joe-armstrong-amalfi-cantante-green-day-cena-marina-grande/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like it would be different if people were creeping around after him just doing normal sightseeing on holiday, but this was somewhat different. It was a public ceremony with him being awarded the honorary citizenship and him being shown around the town with the mayor and everything. It's not just random fans after him, it's a welcoming party to the town his family's from. All just looks like a very warm welcome to me, nothing intrusive. I didn't realise it was going to be such a big official event, didn't think we'd even need a thread for it at first . Looks like the people of the town made it really special.

IcyMoffatt Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Those first 3 videos mostly recap Billie's trip to Viggiano, but they show a bit of new images we didn't see yet. Longer video of BOBD on the harps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyMoffatt Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 New and «already seen» photos The girl also wrote an article. Nothing new, except the part about the visit of the cathedral. Billie asked to spend some time alone there and in silence. http://www.lasiritide.it/art.php?articolo=15694 Edit: Integral interview of Billie after he got the citizenship: https://www.gazzettadellavaldagri.it/billie-joe-armstrong-dei-green-day-il-suo-intervento-integrale-a-viggiano/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing hundreds maybe even $1,000. He probably isn’t paying for it though, since it was a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
