Billie looks so fucking sick in that jacket, he should perform in the freezing cold more often

Do Americans really care that much about cursing on the TV? lol There are some organazitions to control those stuff in my country but I don't expect they'll take it so seriously in America lol

I don't get it. Aren't there bigger problems in America than cursing on TV? Weird. No one would ever censor a "F***" over here. So I really don't see the point 😂. I actually think it's funny.

It's so funny how people are all like "Oh no! The Green Day band did a swear! 😦 So shocking!" like it's something new. Of course they are going to swear. It's Green Day. :rolleyes:

It was really cool to see Billie's breath as he was singing in the outdoor performance in the videos. They don't usually perform in conditions that cold so we almost never get to see that.

I went to a gig in Switzerland and I remember reading articles a couple of day after about Billie's swearing on stage 
One of them says "This act was condemned by members of  Switzerland’s Catholic action. 😴

True, it gives me some serious emo vibes. He looks like a sexy version of Billy Corgan😄

I just woke up don't know what happened yet but this gave me such a deja vu 

Anyway, let's tick off another box:

The article was about "mad parents who were worried about their children" 
Maybe you should have an idea about the gig you're going to your kids? Maybe 😂

Well, okay. Every time you think this era can't get any stranger😬 I just wish the realization would come without this sinking feeling in my stomach each and every time. I just.... I just hope everything is okay. Is everything okay?! And I'm sorry for everyone who travelled there and was disappointed :(

Dude, I get that feeling too 😣I hope everything's ok..

Yeah, I have always found it weird that people always get so angry and offended over hearing someone say fuck or slip a random nipple on TV, but as soon as there is any kind of violence shown no one seems to actually care at all 🤣

I'm no parent, but if I were I would probably be a better one than the ones crying about hearing a four letter word.

I don't understand how why people get mad over swear words on TV, they're words, they get said everywhere and I don't see what harm they could potentially cause, because believe it or not, you kid has most probably already heard them :P

What I don't understand is how it's possible to swear on TV (unless you are allowed to) when all broadcasting is delayed by 5 seconds since the infamous nip slip so nothing like this could happen again.

Also because you don't need just a Green Day gig to listen to these words. Come on. It's 2020 😂
I have a 2 years old cousin who is now learning and repeating everything 
My uncle one day told us "She said ass"

I wouldn't say drunk but yeah Basket Case sounded different from the Ema's version

I would even go as far to say he played the intro of basket case better at iHeart 2012. God he just played it like shit here.

I think he just tried to play slower similar to the studio version, they tend to do that for TV performances. I still think the worst intro he’s done was in the Hall of Fame :P

In case this wasn’t posted in here:

FRA sounded amazing in the videos from soundcheck!

The reaction to the swearing is hilarious. America looks so ridiculous from Europe sometimes.

It's really unfortunate for fans who waited in the cold that the set was so short and I feel for them because disappointment hits extra hard when you've put that much into it. Green Day can't say anything if it might reflect badly on the NHL, though.

Oh and thanks for the great photos @kaylubd :wub:

This is so dumb though, why is this causing so much interest, it's like iHeart light :lol:

It's so weird how saying 'fuck' on tv can stir up a storm. I kinda enjoy it though because of all the memes it brings lol. This tweet about it damn near killed me:

I bet all of my money for the fact that Billie Joe was definitely drunk. I just compared this indoor perfomance to iHeartRadio perfomance and goddamn there were way too many similarities :D

Oh Jesus Christ, really? Sounded like an audio issue at the very beginning, he was back on track very quickly. This was NOTHING LIKE iheart night and all the comparisons to "that era" are getting really fucking old and are way out bounds.

I’ve come to accept that Billie Joe is one of those people who may always seem like he’s teetering on the edge of disaster, but that’s not always an indication of real life. No way to know what is ever going on but from where I was he was totally fine, didn’t seem messed up in any way, they were just following the event leaders and doing what they were told.

 I don’t know what happened with Basket Case, almost like they launched into is so quickly he was on the wrong key and it took him a verse to correct it.

And it was great meeting you too @brendanL !
