No one wants to say it, but I'll say it: Billie's brain is fried

Mate stop the personal attacks.  I come here to relax & hang out with my virtual friends.

You started it with the stupid memes. You also don't like facts. The fact is, Billie knowingly risked the lives of others.

Let's get back on topic now. Billie's years of substance abuse is the reason for these songs

No pigeons are my friends, as sheep and unicorns. Sometimes I ate them tho. Not the unicorns, I just milk their rainbow juice.

Bro, I get it. The band released a stinker, but it's happened before and they have always been good for it in the end. The band isn't dead, they're fine, but saying that Billies brain is flat out cooked from drug abuse is in pretty poor taste. It's not bad to give the boys some tough love every now and then, but there's a line in which it goes a bit too far.

I guarantee there will be at least one song that you will love on the new album, even on my least favorite record by them (DOS) I still ended up liking the majority of the songs and even then if there still isn't anything you like on it, it's still highly likely that this is just them teasing us and having a bit of fun.

(When in doubt, just look at that album cover again)

Keep your chin up and hold on, there will be a lot more music in a couple of weeks

I like the song, is my brain fried too? 🤯

By all means state your opinion good or bad on the new music but using someone’s addiction to back up that opinion? Really?

[Doggins]

In before lock..

 

But FWIW I'm kinda disheartened by this era myself too. And I'm not sure if you're trolling but lets not forget about everyone here questioning Billies mental state during the Trilogy labeling it Billies mid-life crisis (iheart meltdown aside *ahem*). But what we now see is that Trilogy is exactly the kind of music GD want to do, RevRad was obviously to "please" the fans. They're not doing that again and they seem pretty happy about it.

Now it's going to piss off a lot of people, you can either love it because you're a die hard fan and you'll love anything they release - which is cool
Or you could hate it, because its not your cup of tea, and move on - There are plenty of other great bands out there - especially the younger bands that are heavily influenced by bands like Green Day etc.

It's true. Look up what long term drug use does to the brain. FWIW I didn't mind the trilogy. I just wish they had made one album that contained the best of the three.

Why don't you contribute to the actual discussion, instead of trolling and derailing my thread?

I raise a valid point about drugs affecting the brain.

Why is everyone in denial?

Billie has been writing music for 30 plus years sorry if he doesn’t want to do it your way. The other members of Green Day would say something if they hated the direction they’re going in. Green Day has released a few bad songs over the years, we like them because they’re bad “punk” songs now that they’re not “punk” people are freaking out.

No, I'm actually watching 'Ben Shapiro Destroys Happy Rooting Unicorn'. I'm sorry that you were one of the leftists who he embarassed. He's also a hell of a lot smarter than you will ever be.

I've backed it up using facts. Look up the effects of long term drug abuse on the brain and then come back and tell me I'm talking rubbish. Billie is a shell of his former self. I'm actually shattered, as I have loved this band for 20 years.

I actually prefer blink's new album to be honest. At least NINE had some bangers. Pin The Grenade is amazing.

You don’t know him, you are not his family, not his friend, you are not his doctor, you know shit about his life, you know shit about his mental or physical health, you know shit. And he doesn’t owe you shit.
