That Dude Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 aaaaah! Last time around, Green Day released an album a little over a year afterward, so.....we are getting close. but back to the Tubbies - Hands down the most entertaining of the side projects, and I adore the others!

Slave To The Network Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I like Pinhead Gunpowder, but it's not as near and dear to me because most of the songs aren't written by Billie. Still great, though! And the songs that he does right are fantastic of course. FBHT is definitely my favorite of the side projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Yeah I don't really think of PHGP as a Green Day side project, since it's Aaron's songs you can't really compare it to the others. I love it as much as them because I love Aaron's lyrics but I think of it in a different category. I can't believe how happy it makes me just for Billie to continue to acknowledge FBHT (rather than it being forgotten as an old and over with project). Puts me in the mood for listening to Stop Drop and Roll. But it still better not just be a tease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashie Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Can Longshot really be considered a "Green Day side project" when it's just Billie? The others I get because all three of them are involved, but Longshot I consider a Billie solo project not a band project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has Billie and Jason, and the Longshot has Billie and Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I do consider The Longshot a GD side project, but I also consider The Frustrators/Dead Mermaids/Bubu & the Brood etc as GD side projects too because, to me, if it includes at least one member of GD then it's a GD side project.

Otis Big Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If they make new music, I hope they heavily emphasize the organ. Even more so than on Stop, Drop and Roll!!! It's something that was missing if DOS truly was their second album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyChunks Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Maybe I'm just old, but the surprise and subsequent mystery and speculation about The Network were pretty unprecedented and it was a super fun time to be a fan. And we were all kind of guessing at the time as there was no social media information available. And Network immediately preceded American Idiot, so that was cool too. I love all the projects, but the originality and complete randomness of the Network project was truly something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Lot Lizard Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Longshot is like slick and pretty sexy. FBHT is like dirty and fun sexy. Both are good but is apples and oranges or Billies and Kevins. As long as it’s those two are in the band it’s going to be a hot looking band. Haha. Yes, it’s come to this.... I felt the need to chime in on the hotness/ sexiness of the Longshot vs. FBHT 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parts they play. Both are dirty and fun sexy in FBHT and both are slick and pretty sexy in the Longshot. But! In really real life of they’re not being the Reverend Strychnine Twich etc and they were just themselves looking and acting normal I’d say your theory is closer to correct. Kevin is the pretty and slick sexy and Billie Joe is the dirty and fun sexy haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anything where Billie writes the songs and fronts the band is a Green Day side project. You can see the continued narrative of Green Day through the “side projects”. It’s so beautifully Billie Joe. I didn’t link this before but now it’s linking pretty obviously. The tease about the Longshot playing FBHT songs is a screen shot of She’s a Saint Not a Celebrity. Story line from Gloria being a lost saint sinner and the saint sinner of Mother Mary and SASNAC can fit together. “Marie, come out tonight You can be my Valentine” looking for a valentine echos Love is for Losers “long lost Valentine” and “Marie, would you drink my wine? We can live on stolen time” echos Stay the Night and the urgency of “running out of time” and then that goes back to the other discussions of having Stay the Night, Fell for You and Wild One on the set lists. I would guess that Gloria from 21CB, Mother Mary from FBHT and the Ghost from the Longshot are all the same sort of character/metaphor. Hence, the Longshot and FBHT can definitely be considered Green Day side projects. That’s my theory on FBHT maybe being covered by the Longshot even though the music is different. Longshot = slick and pretty and heartbreaking but the FBHT = dirty and fun. Can they be mixed? Do you guys think he meant rehearsal as a FBHT reunion or is the Longshot going to cover FBHT like they covered Green Day? Or is he being a big tease like last year when he posted something similar?

Montclare Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think he means FBHT, not the Longshot covering them. I think he just posted it on that account to keep it quieter and to avoid all of the "when are you getting back to Green Day?" posts that would have resulted if he posted it on the BJA account. Or he's just teasing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
