pouty bitch Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I love the RevRad era for so many reasons: A) I only really became a GD fan last July, so RevRad is the first (and, so far, only) album that's been released in my time as a fan, so it will always have a special place in my heart. B) I feel like the RevRad tour (and maybe the AI tour) are the only tours that the guys could just enjoy without having to worry about other things. For example, on the early tours, they didn't have much money, they were never guaranteed a place to stay, and sometimes it was difficult for them to get a show. On the Dookie tour, Adrienne was pregnant, so Billie became homesick because he wanted to be taking care of her instead of being on tour. On the Insomniac tour, they were exhausted from working so hard over the past two years, and Mike kept having panic attacks, so I think the tour was eventually cut short. On the Nimrod tour, if I remember correctly, Billie said he was experiencing marital problems with Adrienne at that time, so he wanted to spend more time at home. At the time Warning was released, it was their only major label album that had flopped, so I think that knocked their confidence slightly. The 21stCB tour was when Billie's drinking started getting out of control, and he apparently had a lot of meltdowns on that tour. On the trilogy tour, he had just come out of Rehab, he was probably still recovering and he was probably a bit nervous to go back to performing after what he had been through. However, on the RevRad tour, they don't seem to have any major worries - they're just enjoying the tour, they're having so much fun, and it's great to see them so happy. C) I also feel like, on the RevRad tour, their friendship is stronger than ever. That moment at the end of the show, when Billie is playing Good Riddance and Mike and Tre come out and stand next to him - I just love it so much. They seem closer than ever on this tour and it's just beautiful to see. D) I feel like the band have shared more special moments with the fans on this tour than on any of the previous tours (like when Billie stood on shoulders and threw the mic to that fan in the middle of Are We The Waiting, or when the power cut and Billie got the crowd to sing along whilst Mike and Tre sat on the steps and watched it). Both the band and the fans seem to be appreciating these moments more than ever. I would love to be part of this tour so much, but sadly, it doesn't look like I'll get the chance to go to any of the RevRad shows. However, if the band carry on as they are now, the next tour should be just as good (if not better), so I'll hopefully be able to see them then.

pacejunkie punk Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I would hope that having now achieved everythig they set out to achieve including the RnR Hall of Fame that they can just relax and enjoy themselves now. I think that's what we're seeing. Jason, Billie and Mike (through Brit) have all been through some serious health scares and that will make best friends closer. They are all grateful now and loving life every day. ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 At least the dogs that GD met the other day in Belfast were more interested in GD than the cat that Billie met during the meet and greet last year I love to see pictures of GD with animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly89 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think the whole atmosphere is more calm because of the fact that the wifes of gd are joining the tour Joey and Jakob are both grown up and Mikes kids are so small that they are able to join their dad on tour without missing school. That makes all a little bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But less partying on the road definitely gives it a more family oriented vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly89 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The Rev Radio Tour right now is the one that Adrienne joined as longest. During the last tour she spent longer times at home, because Jakob was still in high school. I also can't imagine Sara staying that long during the last tour. Probably, but it feels like this tour is the one where all wifes join their husbands for the longest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Billie looks so good in his stupid t-shirt Also check out this new Kerrang poster It's so nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyMoffatt Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I want this poster from Kerrang magazine! But I will have to wait 2 weeks until it arrives in Montreal. For the moment, I need to find a place on my bedroom's walls to add the poster when I will get it. And yeah, the guys all look awesome on those pics, but Billie Joe is still the cutest one. Regarding the stupid shirt, Billie seems to have it for years now. There is a couple of pics of him wearing it over the years. I wonder when did he get it?

pouty bitch Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Billie's physique is near perfect atm. He looks so slim and lean and his muscles look really firm. I hope we see him with his shirt off soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 ^ I think we've got more chance of seeing blond Billie during this tour than topless Billie. And sadly, both of those events are unlikely to happen On a completely different note, I'm waiting to see if Billie makes an appearance during the Swmrs set at Hyde Park. It's the biggest crowd the Swmrs have ever had so you'd think that Proud Papa Billie would be watching his son (whilst probably acting like a dorky dad). Maybe Billie might be lurking backstage watching Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Billie might be lurking backstage watching Joey. He most likely won't go into the crowd because he'd draw too much attention, considering that most people came there to see him. Watching from the side/back is much more likely and probably also more comfortable for him because that way he won't have to deal with selfie/autograph requests the whole time. 2 hours ago, G-L-O-R-I-A said: Billie's physique is near perfect atm.

To tell the truth, though, to me he seems to look a lot more muscular/trim/hot in photos than in person. Not saying he's a letdown, I mean, yeah everything is there - his slim, lean body, arms, hips, thighs... but somehow, it's not like what you'd expect. (What I'd expext anyway.) It's like as if you took a really ripped guy and somehow made him shrink to 5' something. Everything is there, but it's so little On here I go "oh my God his arms are huge when I see a photo, but in real life it's not the same. Like, they are huge in comparison with his body, he IS muscular, but it's all miniature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly89 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I always asked myself what happens when you see him in reality. If the whole glamour and mystery disappears when I'm realizing that he's a human being? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 He seems so charismatic. Does he give that off in person? And I read an interview where he said he was 5'8" but I call bullshit. Seems 5'7" at most. How tall is he for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back a little in this thread to the video pacejunkie punk posted about sweaty, shirtless Billie. He introduces "our new drummer Tre" and about 5 mins in, Tre comes round and kisses Billie. around the same time there is an IG post of them being given their puppets and Billie starts to make his sing Basket Case, watch Billie closely is all I'm saying ........

How tall is he for real? For real he's approximately... this tiny It's really hard to tell, I'd have sworn he can't be much taller than I (5'2") but he doesn't seem that short compared to other people who are much taller than I e.g. Mike or Maria Gloria I am bad at making guesses like this, so take it with a grain of salt, but 168cm seems about right. I mean, when I say someone is like me, they are usually a bit taller, so about 10cm on top of my height seems reasonable and it's not that much of a difference in comparison with people who are 170cm-ish as well.

Strychnine. Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I guess this can be posted here since I can't find anywhere else to post it. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I am so sick of Green Day fans getting Billie's tattoos done on them. It's just weird, unoriginal, and honestly really shitty for him.
