Beerjeezus Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Only Billie Joe? Why a solo performance if they’re clearly promoting Hella Mega? But then again, with three bands on the bill for this, he’s going to play one or two songs so who cares. Just now, Little Boy Named Booze said: Hella Mega is really happening LET'S GO!

Flashback Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm confused, is he starting a solo career? 🤔 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Joes Eyelids Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Very strange that GD is the only one not showing up with the whole band, but maybe Tre or Mike had plans that can't be changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post legendary Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 Tre and Mike seems to be so disconnected from GD these times. Not only in this, I miss Mike's backing vocals and awesome bass lines, and Tre agressive drumming and solos. It's sad to say it, but now GD is basically BJA making all stuff by yourself and calling Mike and Tre to play. Maybe It can explain some songs with lack of creativity. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 Maybe for Hella Mega BJA is going to show up with a brand new band and he’ll never acknowledge the disappearance of Mike and Tré 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since they've gone out of their way to specify "Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong" (which they've also done with the No Fun Mondays videos and other times Billie's done solo things) I doubt it. Could be Mike and/or Tre happened to have other commitments or whatever. Billie's a singer/songwriter/guitarist and it's not remotely strange for him to perform alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m going and maybe I’ll come back when it’s over Hopefully they have communicated the length of time Billie can play. For this new era, he is losing the Joe. May even shorten all the way down to B. Armstrong. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the timing of the interview and that they're together with FOB and Weezer makes this solo appearance quite confusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess. It's probably just a logistics thing though, convenient for Billie to be there but not either Mike or Tre for whatever reason (only one of them would have to be unavailable since they kind of need both or neither). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. When you’re the headliner promoting your tour and you’re doing a national TV appearance during the tour to have your bandmates sit this out while your two supporting acts play together in full? There’s no way to spin this as no big deal. It’s a bad look and makes Green Day look like a band past it’s prime barely hanging on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not extremely well-known in his own right so it makes sense to give his solo record a boost through using the Green Day brand. Is it possible that this performance will be online? Maybe they went for a solo acoustic option like they did last year for the pandemic TV performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very possible it’s online but at this point that makes no difference. Everyone is vaccinated who wants to be and is gathering again. The other two bands are performing together. We know they can be together. They’ve done it already for the NFL and Network. When have Mike and Tre even skipped out on tour promotion? (I’m sorry I don’t mean to rant but this is the kind of thing that’s driven me to distraction with this band since the end of the RevRad tour) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 You guys are panicking for nothing lol you're such CRAZY fans it's annoying.

Billie will do a solo performance, doesn't negatively affect my life. Mike or Tre might have another commitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they’ve decided that online stuff is going to be solo for some reason and they’re sticking with it. 3 minutes ago, Little Boy Named Booze said: You guys are panicking for nothing lol you're such CRAZY fans it's annoying.

And also the more he does alone the more he proves he can do it without those guys. And it makes me sad that they used to be an all for one and one for all gang and now by doing this kind of thing alone when the other bands are not it looks pathetic and like Green Day are literally phoning it in. When they want fans to shell out hundreds of dollars to see them, it’s low effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the band left so now Billie is the only member of Green Day. He’s going to hire Joey as his new drummer. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said Mike or Tre might have another commitment we don't know about. I just don't see it as a big deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
