All the No Fun Monday releases were promoted through the Green Day socials 

Yes but how many of them said “the 3 of us” or has had a topic saying Green Day instead of Billie Joe Armstrong?

California is still on lockdown 

Ah ok. I'm in Australia so wasn't sure exactly what the rules of lockdown are there. 

Will be interesting to hear how it sounds with each part recorded separately. Have they been doing this anyway for previous albums?

They always lay their parts separately. The thing is that they are in the same studio doing so. This time would be different but that's one of the wonders of the cloud work right now.

I don't think Mike or Tre are scared for not doing stuff on quarantine. BJ is a workaholic guy. He said that several times. Is not necessary they follow the pace of BJ of doing things. That's why they take time doing stuff. They have different priorities now, like enjoying their families, thing they didn't do in the past.

Also I think some people underestimates how important is a good bassist and specially a good drummer in a band. Green Day success is the sum of their components, not only good songwriting.

Oh goody, more music!  Happy they are covering Blondie even if Dreaming wouldn’t be my first choice for them, but hey will wait and see how It sounds.  So nice they have worked on this together even if it has been by Zoom.  Thank god for Green Day!

Okay chill, that’s why I wondered if it was all of them playing on it. Yes the three of them comment was the tip off, not just the fact that it was posted to Green Day, because so were the BJA covers (all posted on the Green Day YouTube channel too). Easy to get confused.

Do you think after Billie had his first solo hit doing these covers Mike and Tre got spooked and realized they better get off their asses and participate in these? 😄 Whatever the reason I’m glad they decided to get on board.

I wonder if they heard ITWAN come on the radio and it seemed kinda weird 😂

Was there any reading between the lines to even be done? Reads pretty cut and dry.

That’s awesome, but any thoughts on why they waited so long to do music together?

Not really when every cover song released for the last two months has been BJA alone.

It's pretty clear in the post that it's all 3 of them?

Maybe this could be released as surprise fancier Monday cover, it’s a little dumb to have a whole band to record a song and act like it’s a special occasion :lol:

I’m curious about the video. Probably a bunch of Green Day footage. I wouldn’t think they’d want to have current footage of themselves with no professional stylists available, and especially no professional dye jobs available . 😬

everybody just has their own lives and what not. billie is just more active when it comes to music and wants to always be working. the green day machine is a very big machine.

I’d bet it would look better than their recent style. I thought that was a bit too artificial

Well the reunion was good while it lasted. Now Billie is doing the GMA summer concert series by himself 😂

I agree

He was at the beginning of it. Not recently.  From glimpses from Joey’s stories, he’s got the really wild hair thing going on now. I wouldn’t really mind if he kept it.

Ahaha the Blondie cover is still not out and Billie is already tired of working with Mike and Tré.

Not gonna post the link but the song leaked (or maybe it’s just already Friday somewhere in the world) I really enjoyed it, and can definitely feel and appreciate the presence of Mike, Tre and IMHo of a more solid production compared to NFM :) Sounds like a real GD single to me ;) 

This is the cover art by the way
