lupy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I wasn't under the impression that Billie Joe hasn't written any lyrics. He's just stuck for a theme, and yes, he's overthinking it, and yes, he's driving himself crazy, and yes, he's stalling because he's afraid and under pressure, blah, blah, blah...I'm very frustrated right now. I'm frustrated for Billie and for myself. I want a record. I want them to be happy with their record. Ugh....And as for that person that said Billie Joe should go solo- he should only go solo if he goes too far off from Green Day's original sound. Warning almost pulled him off, but it didn't. But, like, yeah, if he wanted to make a country record or something, I would say, well don't fucking pull Mike and Tre along! But right now I think they're cool.And I *love* the piano. The Dresden Dolls are my second fav. band. And, yes, I'm pretty sure that Billie Joe can play somewhat on the piano- I'm not saying he could play Mozart or something, but playing out simple melodies is not beyond the man. And, technically, 35 *could* be described as middle-aged. Green Day are kind of the big kids on the block in popular rock- next to relatively new (shit) acts like Fall Out Boy, he must feel ancient, and kind of leaning towards U2, who are also old, but very, very boring in the music that they make.Grrr....I'm so mad at that article! I could've sworn that all the stuff that's been happening Green Day would show up and say, "Hey, new album much?" and I'd be all, "Yes! Fuck yeah!" But no.He's basically saying what he said a goddamn year ago, when he said 2008 would be "fair estimation." He should stop psyching himself out. It's driving his fans crazy.

spark in the night Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 College students aren't admitted to Green Day concerts? oh noezmaybe if Billie's stuck with a "direction" maybe he could get some input from his fansnot saying we should tell him what to write about, but maybe like feed his brain with inspirationI dunno...I want them to hurry up and release a record but at the same time I want them to not rush things and make sure they are fully pleased with their albumit only benefits us if they like their record when they perform it for us.

Fuzz Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 parinaz, you're making this much more complicated that it needs to be. billie joe didn't say anything about not writing lyrics, he said they have songs. but he also said he's still looking for something more. they've always said they weren't in a rush to put out another album. they wanted it to be their top work. they may have 40-some songs completed, but still not be happy with them. I remember before American Idiot reading an article saying they had a lot of songs, and you have to wonder how many of those never saw the light of day. They've written songs, they've probably recorded a few - and they're just not happy with the direction they're going in. They want to do something they've never done before, and make it better than any of their other stuff. Whats the point in rushing to put out a mediocre album? Just cause most bands do it...and whats with people bashing the piano? I'm sure this isn't the first time Billie has used the piano to write songs. That doesn't mean we're gonna end up with a mozart-esque album. And like wes mentioned earlier; the piano is all over American Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbear Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I feel sorry for Billie. He's trying to come up with something amazing to top American Idiot but he's struggling. He's not going to release just a random colllection of songs if he's not totally happy no matter what other peoplle are pushing him to do. He has a family and other commitments to think about when all he really needs is time alone to think. I hope he can just be left alone so he can sort his thoughts out and produce an album that lives up to his expectations. If he achieves this we'll all benefit from more fantastic Green Day music to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tits McGee Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 If this album is gonna be a slow, boring album, that includes a song called "Beautiful Day", I will kill myself.Mark. my. words. can't we just have another album about drugs and masturbation and.. girls and shit? meh.

Sunshine2385 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 because maybe writing songs on piano is faster than writing on guitar? Who gives a shit if they use a piano or not, Mozart is cool btw!! Everyone calls themselves "fans" but don't trust the band. Tits Mgee, I'm looking foward to Billie Joe writing a song called "Beautiful Day" so I can look foward to your death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough people have responded to your questions already. As I keep trying to inform you, no one can answer why Billie Joe feels the way he does except for Billie Joe. Therefore, it is useless and irritating for you to keep asking the same thing over and over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratepalmer Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 As soon as I read that I was thinking "aww I want to give him a hug." He shouldn't be saying he's feeling middle aged. he's only 35. Some how I've got the feeling they have more done than Billie's letting on. Or rather than Rolling Stone is letting on.Oh I felt the same!! Bless his cotton socks!! I know exactly how he feels - I've wondered a lot about how he's going to find the inspiration this time round; his life as far as we know, is pretty sedate these days. What he needs to do is have an affair with me. That should shake things up a bit Wow - thanks for posting. At least it's something, and I'm glad to hear they are working on it. Like all great things, it'll be worth the wait. Maybe they'll be touring again in time for our 50th then Cheryl eh? Hahahahah pmsl jesus if he's shrinking god help me im only 5ft tall imagine how tiny im gonna end up We two dwarve MILFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust that what they'll put out will be good, and I would probably like it, I'm just afraid of 'different'.Heck, they can make a whole album about taking viagra, I don't give a shit. seriously. but they would probably lose fans if they make a slow album.PEOPLE THESE DAYS. ppft.

Haha, thinking about it, I can't really imagine GD making a slow album. I'll pass my judgement once we hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I don't think Billie Joe should be thinking of the new album in comparison to American Idiot; if he tries too hard to top it, it might end up falling flat. Well, as flat as an awesome band like Green Day could possibly get. Damn. Why can't Green Day be like The Offspring? Damn.Because Green Day are not the Offspring.

I wont argue with a 14 year old kid. Shouldn't you be doing homework or studying for a tomorrow's test? YAY!! Green Day are ADULTS not kids. IF Green Day wants to change their fan base so they weed out poser kids like they sadly have now for some reason, then I welcome the change. AND!
