Marki. Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I was just thinking that a year ago, there were only a few days left for me to find out Green Day are playing in my country again and to buy tickets I wish that was something that happened every September 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a very nice one too I've been fangirling over Billie's Hey-ohs in the fangirls thread before and I will do it again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Truong Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 14 hours ago, stories and songs said: Even though it has been almost five (!!!) years since Billie went to rehab, I still find it such a difficult subject to speak about. Just tonight on the way home from our concert, my mom was like, "So he was in rehab a few years ago, right?" And I just found it so jarring. I don't even know if there's anything I can say on the subject, because going through that period was such an impossibly difficult, scary time for folks like us, and I get that it's hard for outsiders to understand how much a guy we don't know's health count impact us. And his recovery has been the most intimate, beautiful, rewarding thing to see through this entire era. Our gratitude and the band's gratitude are both through the roof — like we know better than to take each other for granted now. It's not something casual listeners can possibly comprehend. It kinda bothers me that they'd perhaps make assumptions about him or about us as fans because of what happened, though. I am annoyed too, my brothers asking me same thing..every time I mention Green day. But you know I hated too said this but I am glad that Billie had that breakdown few years ago..(I have to admit wasn't into band at the time so I don't really pay attention to what really happen that night)...because now Billie realize He will never do it again in future!

Beerjeezus Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I don't like these conversations too. Mainly because there's nothing I can say about it - actually there isn't much else to say besides that it's happened. It's not really our business to analyze it in depth if that's why people bring it up. It's not funny and it's not as juicy as it seems. What bothers me more is that these conversations show how stigmatized addiction is. There are three types of people who've approached me about this and they were either making fun of him, judgemental, or in denial (conspiracy theories about how he made it all up for "rockstar image", anyone?). It's just so weird, so awkward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I supposed to say when someone goes "isn't is said when someone can't handle having money and turns to drugs?" or "you wouldn't actually want a guy like that, would you?". Or the other kind: "they can't actually party much when they're play this good" and the best one: "he only acted like drunk for attention or it was just a phase". I'd actually love to explain it the best I can, but I can't really do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just told him maybe because Billie work very hard to make his band and his life success..and he doesn't want let anyone down..it too much pressure some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think Green Day should explore a more light-hearted surf/garage rock sound on their next album. The sound on songs like "Sweet 16," "Youngblood," "8th Avenue Serenade," etc could be a really cool direction and kind of fits their current surfing/Cali lifestyle. Those sounds have a very retro vibe, which could fit the band as aging rockers. Music doesn't need to be "epic" to be good, and I'd like to see some playful themes, possibly with serious undertones like with the FHT, come through. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the surfy songs are the best on the trilogy and I'd definitely enjoy another album like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so weird, so awkward. Your whole comment hit the nail on the head on how I feel, but especially this. I feel people judging him for it (which kills me), and judging me for still caring about him, as though I'm naive or something. That time was very real for a lot of us. I don't take it lightly whatsoever, it was terrifying. I feel like people just write it off as me being a silly fangirl who would give him a pass on anything. And that's just not the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
