I love the way Billie sings, what should be "well don't know what I want" at 1.45 - wuh wuh wuh  (or maybe well, well, well)

I think it's probably w-w-w (pronounced wuh-whu-whu) and then ''well don't know what I want'',  a bit like saying b-b-b-b - but (pronounced buh-buh-buh-buh).

I can’t believe you guys sat through all that for a one minute video with poor sound 😂 Nothing ever changes. If they announced a Facebook Live and big announcement tomorrow I would do the same thing and probably be just as disappointed 😄

It was absolutely hilarious! Especially because someone suggested that it won't have any sound before it started

The Americares one was the same way. The picture appeared like 20 minutes before it started and everyone was all what’s wrong with the sound, is it working, is it just me?!?!

I know! I watched it with my mom on TV a couple days later and I let it play so we watched the sign being moved a little once in a while for a couple minutes and she was like "skip it, omg" and I didn't want to do that because it's not an authentic gd stream experience withought stuff like that.

At least that one was totally worth the wait 💚💚💚

Those live streams I remember the internal battle over getting food very well. I came armed with pasta (which is my Green Day food because it's all I ate while saving for the tour) to the next stream.

I remember how hungry I was and everybody was talking about food 

It must be the most famous sandwich I ever had

It just dawned on me that literally none of Jinx rhymes

I fucked up again it's all my fault.
So turn me around and face the wall.
And read me my rights and tell me I am wrong.
Until it gets into my thick skull.

A slap on the wrist, a stab in the back.
Torture me, I've been a bad boy.
Nail me to the cross and tell me you have won.
I lost before I did any wrong.

I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck.
So keep your distance 'cause it's rubbing off.
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell.
Or earth with me tangled at your feet.

You finally met your nemesis
Disguised as your fatal long lost love.
So kiss it good bye until death do we part.
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud.

How strange . Is this unique among Green Day songs or are there others and I've just never noticed?

If you're interested in planes, here's a video of GD arriving and departing from Curitiba 

 

[pacejunkie punk]

With the extra day off in Argentina, it wouldn’t kill them to do some publicity. I had been hoping for an interview in Brazil. Do you think we’ll get one for all of South America? I’m still flying high on that Chicago press conference, I hate to think that’s the only one we’ll get all tour (though they did some good radio appearances in the UK that was a year ago now)

Billie just leaves 80 in the dust there when they're going back to the plane. Rude . He looks like he could not have gotten on that plane fast enough haha.

Hmm yeah they tend to get most interviews/publicity out of the way at beginning when the album's coming out. Which kind of sucks because you just get a load of identical questions and answers . I can't remember if they did anything the last time hey were in South America but they do sometimes fit some in so I hope they do.

I never thought watching Billie get on/off a plane would be so interesting.

Not interested in planes in the slightest, and yet I just spent the better part of 10 minutes watching this.....................what has happened to my life?

Ha! Me too. It’s a beautiful paint job and it was so cool watching the plane and thinking, they’re all sitting in there right now. I’m so fucked up. 🙄

I don't know know if anyone here watches American Horror Story, but in the latest episode they started using the 'No KKK, No Fascist USA' chant. Anyway it was kind of a  moment.

As we say in Scotland, “ Aye, right” 

[Shtrudel]

Anyone else noticed a small "glitch" in the studio version of American Eulogy?

Right at 2:00, between "The static response is so unclear now" / "Mayday is not a test...", there's a small silence, as if they unintentionally left a gap between the reverse-fade-in to the next chord. If it was intentional, they did a poor job at convincing me it's not a mistake. Shit like that should not happen to them at all.

[jengd]

I hear it and see what you mean but, possibly because I am used to it but it sounds fine, sounds deliberate to give punch to “Mayday”.
