If the band was over they would not have put out all the material they did recently. They would not have all done another Network album (it's not like it was something that was going to make them a lot of money; most of their fans probably were never even aware of it). Obviously they still want to play together. They have been doing side projects all through their careers. They have been at this for three decades. They have had ups and downs. Things could have been over after Warning flopped. But then they came back and did American Idiot, without which they would never have even reached the level for us to be here arguing about them. Things could have been over after Billie's iHeart meltdown. But they have always found a way to make it work. Like FOAM or not, it was pretty successful. They are not exactly at a popularity low point or else they wouldn't somehow be ending up on every TV show. Everyone is in a weird place right now, even if you are a rich and famous rock star. No one is really OK. Just let the world get back to normal and I think you will see them get back to normal too. The Network isn't Green Day. And this isn't a matter of if they like playing together; it's do they like Green Day. They wanted to stray form their typical Green Day sound (whatever that is) with FOAMF, and they did release another Network album. Seems to me like they're trying to get away from Green Day. Like @pacejunkie punk said, they've achieved just about everything that can with Green Day. Maybe they want to move on and do something else.

Like @pacejunkie punk said, they've achieved just about everything that can with Green Day. Maybe they want to move on and do something else. But Green Day has gone through many different evolutions already. All of their albums have had different sounds. Think about the progression of things say between Dookie and AI. They are always trying new things. Billie has talked many times about not wanting to write the same things over and over. As others have said, this may well be a new phase for them. But that does not mean they are over. If they wanted to end they would. They wouldn't keep putting out more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like it was predestined! And what else you're gonna do when your main band is on hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be fun and it’s also hard work. Who among us loves our job every day? But that’s a different question from whether it means the band is over. The job and a half I had before the pandemic was the highlight of my life. If you love what you do, then you love what you do. I’m in the process of recording an album right now. It’s the most stressful thing I’ve ever down in my life and frankly, I’ve never been more sick of music in my life (I’m dead serious, I almost threw all my instruments out the window and vowed never to touch one again). But at the same time, I love it. I just love making music and I love hearing my creations come together. Just because something is hard work doesn’t mean you half ass it. If Billiewas even pretending like he was loving what he’s doing, I couldn’t say shit about it. He just seems like he’s done with Green Day.

A cover album, FOAMF, and MM2020pt2. I'm gonna make this clear. The Network is not Green Day. The Network is a completely different subject. We're talking about Green Day.

Only Green Day is Green Day. For the purposes of this thread, the member that make up the band are unimportant. We’re talking about if the California punk band formed in the late eighties is continuing to release music and perform under the name Green Day.

We’re talking about if the California punk band formed in the late eighties is continuing to release music and perform under the name Green Day. The answer is yes. Green Day released a new album in February 2020. They announced a world stadium tour. The tour was postponed due to the pandemic which understandably has got a lot of people down and musicians out of work. Green Day just released a promo clip for New Years Eve and performed a new show for the NFL yesterday. Green Day is very much an active band. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not the place to look for the guys being in concert mode. They were basically background music for a montage. And I agree with @pacejunkie punkin that considering the circumstances of 2020, Billie has been amazingly productive. Also, they all seemed to have a blast with The Network. I'm not worried about Green Day breaking up. I am worried about Billie giving up on social media. If he loses his connection with fans, that's going to be a huge loss for the Green Day community. But I don't think that has anything to do with Green Day. I think there are a lot of other reasons that he's being extremely private, and I think he's doing what he thinks he needs to do for his own mental health. I just hope he comes back. But no, I see no signs of the band breaking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's people like you who resort to calling me a drama queen simply because I'm done with you. Anyways, I'm done here.
