legendary Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Maybe we're getting a single this year with the new album coming in 2023 just like FOAM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Grass is always greener, Billie. I can see the London thing being heavily criticized. It's easy when you're super rich to be a "citizen of the world." I get what he's saying but it reeks of privilege. So much for being an advocate of change. Just peace out, I guess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 What does Billie mean anyway when he says any band worth its salt should make a record like FOAM in its career? A record like what? What does FOAM represent in a band’s evolution exactly? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fine that he loves it, I just want more detail. What about it does he think makes it an important album? Is it just the fact that it subverts expectations and sounds nothing like the rest of their catalog? Is that what he thinks any band worth their salt should do? I wish he’d elaborate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why he wants to peace out. I don’t blame him. I don’t either. It’s natural to feel the problems that are the closest to you the strongest - no one has the capacity to care about everything to the same extent, plus honestly, you guys objectively have it a lot worse than we do in a lot of aspects. I was just poking fun at him, but in reality, this is a sentiment I see a lot among US immigrants - they have their own little community that’s kind of distant from locals and they’re happy to live in a place where they’re not bothered by stuff like welfare insecurity and gun violence. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Tbh, I appreciate Billie's honesty that he's not very informed about what's going on in the world outside of his home country, because that's true for like at least 95% of people. I mean, I'm pretty ignorant about what's going on in most places of the world. Ik what's happening in my country & in the US to a degree. But idk that much about what's going on in the rest of the world. Ignorance is not a good thing but pretending to know everything that's going on is just as bad, if not worse What he said about FOAMF is interesting. Obviously, the band is not going to say that "I hate that record that we just released a couple years ago" and I never thought that they hated it or that they just released it to get out of their contract. But I am curious about him pointing out that he especially likes side two of the album because that seems to be the case with most of the fans that they prefer side 2. So does he not care for the singles as much? (Does he agree with me that Teenage Teenager is an abomination of a song ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted May 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2022 I wasn't really expecting the new album to come this year so I'm not surprised there. Billie needs a talking to, though. Don't you dare just run off to England and abandon your country like that just because you can. Stay here and fight like the rest of us! Yeah, it's fucking shitty here and I'm disgusted and horrified every day by what goes on and how the people in power do nothing about it, but this is your home so suck it up and support the things that are good! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie's not being effected by the shit things going on in the US. He's rich & famous. The people getting fucked over are women, the working class, poc, lgtbq and Billie being in the US isn't doing anything to help these people 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually one to quite the bible but “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” is again, very relevant in our times. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is him being there doesn't help those who are suffering. He can do things to help these groups while being outside of the states like using his platform to talk about these issues, giving money to groups or charities to help these people etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yeah, you are right, he can help people wherever he is, I thought you meant he was removed from it, not affected personally so could ignore it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be removed from it as far as being a daily stressor in his life because even though the issues mostly don’t affect him directly, we know he’s still very much affected by it in how down and stressed out it gets him because he cares so much. It’s what makes it so hard to live here for everyone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Don't worry ya'll, he can still repost a strongly worded message on instagram after the next tragedy from wherever he lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hermione Posted May 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2022 Billie can live wherever the hell he wants, he isn't a politician and it's not his job to fix the US. And where he lives has no bearing on how much he can do to affect change. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 No one is saying it's his job to fix anything. He can't. I can't. Not many people have that power. It's the principle. Saying "America, I'm breaking up with you lol" just doesn't feel good. He has a platform to discuss these issues anywhere he wants to in the world, but I still feel like it's the most powerful on his home turf. The people who need that inspiration to try to effect change are here. Obviously, he's not obligated to do anything at all. He's the kind of person who cares and tries to do what he can, though, and that's one of the great things about him. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. I feel like I'm just rambling and having trouble getting my thoughts across clearly. I don't know. Something about what he said just felt dismissive and flippant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
