The guys have been touring since October and he's had easily over 100 fans on stage at this point and hasn't kissed a single one, so I don't know why this fan thought it was okay to do that. The dude is 45 and maybe he has decided at this point that he doesn't want to be kissing fans anymore. how do you know? What Billie's want or not want?..He never said anything about not kissing fan anymore? beside he is enjoy doing it. So why not?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Billie's hair looks so beautiful in that video, though. It's stunning. And his eyes are so beautiful, I've never seen eyes such as his. They are almost non-human. In a good way, but they are so radiant and piercing. It's almost scary haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 How lucky is it that your band is called Green Day and the frontman has big beautiful green eyes? It's a rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie used to kiss fans at almost every show and it's been gradually happening less and less as the shows have gone on. This tour Billie hasn't kissed a single fan. Either because he doesn't want to, or maybe because Adrienne got pissy and yelled at him for it. Either way in the last 10ish months they have been touring Billie hasn't kissed anybody he has pulled onstage. Based on that alone, him not initiating it, we can only assume that he doesn't want to anymore. Because if he did want to still be kissing fans he brought on stage, he 100% would have been up to this point. I think after 10 months of touring and the guy making it pretty clear he has no interest in kissing fans anymore, it's pretty shitty to go on stage and kiss him without any consent. The guy could have easily stopped and said: "Hey Billie, can I kiss you." and Billie probably would have kissed him and it would have been all cool.

I have seen one or two time Billie's Kiss Tre or Jason White on this tour when they did L.A show and Las Vegas. but..I don't really know if he kissing any fan on this tour? but that one guy. No big deal. and why would his wife yelling at him? He is not kid or well sometime he act like kid.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, why assume Billie had a problem when he looked perfectly happy with it? Or assume anything about Adrienne based on nothing? Not everyone's been keeping up to date with whether he's been kissing people on this particular tour, he's just known for being alright with it and has, to date, made no comment or indication that he has any objection to it. He spent years planting kisses on people without permission and encouraging fans to kiss him and still kisses people affectionately on stage himself (eg bandmates or the Replacements singer when he played with them). And if I recall correctly when a guy from GDC got up on stage and hugged him in London Billie gave his bum a good squeeze "without consent" even if he didn't kiss him . I just don't see any reason to object on his behalf and make an issue out of it when no one who was involved looked unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I don't understand why people assume if Billie stops something, it is because Adi got pissy. Why blame her and why assume she got mad? Why would she be pissed off about him kissing fans after 20+ years? Maybe he just decided that he doesn't want to do that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatsername Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 That guy in Hyde Park was not the only one during this tour who kissed Billie, it happened at 3 of the 5 shows I saw and he seemed perfectly fine with it. I think if he really had such a big problem with fans kissing him, he would stop calling them on stage at all because he knows it will happen again and again. I think it's no big deal. I'd probably only kiss him on the cheek if I ever got in that lucky position, but in the rush of the moment.... who knows? I'm not even sure if those fans plan the kiss or just do it without thinking about it, because, let's face it, can anyone of us think straight when you see those lips?

Yeah I think there's two things people ought to consider: 1. He's not drunk (and possibly high) on stage anymore, that makes a HUGE difference, especially with someone as self conscious as Billie. I think it's also the reason why he doesn't want to experiment as much as with the setlist etc. like he used to. Although, what's beautiful this time round is that he's naturally and gradually getting more confident the longer the tour goes on. 2. He's aware of the fact that the age gap between himself and his fans is sometimes widening (he's 7-8 years older than in 2009/2010 for a start) and he'd be an arrogant prick if he just assumed every single female fan he kissed would always like it (as we discuss here, it seems most here would, but again it's still a question of consent...). I think the reasons above also explain why he hasn't (and might not at all) show any of his body parts (or undress rather). I think he just assumes not everyone might appreciate it these days...

Might be. He definitely doesn't seem to lack confidence but it can be that he doesn't feel comfortable doing it anymore. Ehh we are all 7/8 years older than in 2009/10 I didn't see many people younger than me at the shows I went to. Not saying they weren't there but I'd bet there were more children in the crowds in the past. They don't seem to pick up so many young fans anymore. However, he still could be a dad of most of his audience and he seems to be well aware of that. Maybe he doesn't think it would be good if an "old guy" like him kissed young girls and boys, especially withought their consent, but he didn't seem to have a problem with it once the other person initiates the kiss. Yeah yeah, he's very considerate of our consent when it comes to nudity, that's why he never posts his nudes on an Instagram account with a million followers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think doing it at a concert is different though, but I think the important factor here is just lack of courage. I mean, I don't know how I'd have the courage to do it directly in front of several thousand people. I guess booze must have played a role, although his eternel youthfulness and cheekiness did too, I'm sure. I don't know, I can't answer that one, but that's my guess anyway...

I actually agree, I meant that as a joke. Posting a picture is very different from stripping in front of thousands. I can't imagine what that has to be like! I guess it must be a great rush when you moon so many people and get away with it. Something like that must have taken a lot of courage. Maybe liquid courage, maybe not. Anyway, I'd rather not see it in person even though I admire him for having the guts to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going a bit off topic here, but I can't confirm this. I had the feeling at the 5 shows I saw this year there were many very young people and children, more than I noticed during the last two tours. Okay, maybe it just seemed more because I'm getting old and the age difference becomes bigger and bigger, haha. But I would say that they still pick up a lot of young fans.

I have nothing to compare with so I have to take your word for it. To me it seemed that not so many very young people were there. Majority were in their twenties. Not saying they don't pick up young fans anymore, it's just that I didn't think it's as many. When I was 11, everyone around me knew them and a lot of kids loved them. It doesn't seem to be like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't like it was a weird seedy drunken thing though, it was a friendly kiss based on both him and the fan being happy to be at the show - and that's still the situation now. He didn't experiment much with the setlist before either . Not everything he's ever done was based on his drink/drug status. 2. Always been an age gap since most people brought on stage are teenagers and again that's not really an issue because it's not a sensual kiss, it's a friendly one (for example he gave his son Jakob one when he was brought up to play drums aged 11), and also as far as I'm aware he's never initiated kisses with girls, only boys (although he's let girls initiate because that's only fair ). I do agree he's been a bit less wild on stage since being sober/having a more positive outlook where he's more into spreading love and joy than doing other things on stage but I don't think that's something that necessarily affects the odd friendly kiss with a fan. Also I can't believe how much I've debated the subject of Billie kissing on here in the last few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
