Good song choice! Tre's drumming is great! Nice to see some footage I haven't seen before. Lenny's so cute!

Great cover and I love the video, Lennie is becoming a full band member 😂😂 so right for right now!

Anyone else notice YouTube subscriber numbers are gently going up?  Pretty sure it was 3.9m in Feb, been paying attention recently and it’s now at 4.4m.  I don’t get too caught up in the “are GD still successful” discussion as in a lot of ways it doesn’t matter to me, yet still happy to know more people are listening.

That video was so sweet and makes me miss them even more. Awesome that they are showing the Trilogy era so much love lately. :wub: Excellent song as well!

Wait was was the third song??? We got the usual No Fun Monday cover and now the Blondie cover. Is there another song I'm missing?

This one, that’s rock n roll from NFM, and now I wanna drink some bleach from Joey Ramone’s birthday FB live :)

I noticed the number had increased, but wasn’t sure when I last glanced at it. I like this cover, but there’s something about his voice in it, doesn’t sound as good as it does in all his other recent cover songs I don’t think, but I’m going to listen with headphones in a minute. 😉

Love the covers so far, but this one really tops it! Hearing Tre's drumming is such a great feeling. You can clearly tell it's Tre and I feel I really missed that with the other covers.

I had a thought: There's no reason for them not to make original songs. Would they still be under contract cause of the delayed tour? So any music they put out themselves is Warner's? So instead they're sticking to covers. I don't know, just a thought.

Billie is doing NFM as freebies for the most part so it's probably the thought of why waste original songs for freebies?

In 5 days we got three songs, it’s pretty amazing. 

I've heard this and That's Rock n Roll, what have I missed?

Edit: Ohhh yeah the Ramones cover, never mind. Also video added to OP

Green Day's fifth cover released as a single and it's really fun.  

Other musicians are keeping our spirits up with acoustic little ditties but Billie and Green Day are bringing on the heat with jam after jam, and PUMPING us up.   

This is exactly what we need between Green Day albums.

I really enjoyed that video...the shot of everyone running after getting their tickets scanned really brought back all the feels.

The I Think We're Alone Now cover was still released by Reprise, but I don't know if Billie has a seperate contract

What if Green Day said screw Reprise but Billie stayed with them solo? 

Oh man, the drama!  

Billie would be a double agent, punk rockingly subverting the label from within.

Doing these like releasing a Blondie cover will burn the establisment to the ground in blaze of raging punk rock anarchy.

The production is some of their best in years.

Can you get this single on Google play music. I can't find it there to download.

This single is also copyrighted under Reprise so they are still with Warner but may have a new structured deal.

I can't get over how great a video concept Lenny asleep at home dreaming about a Green Day tour is. Brilliant :unicorn:
