Random Green Day Thoughts

Facebook just reminded me that it's been 5 years since I saw Green Day on the Trilogy tour :o It feels like a dream... All I can really remember is that it was as hot outside as it is today, how exhausted we were, that Billie wore a striped T-shirt and I lost my shit when they played Dookie in full :lol: Wish I could rewind and relive that night once more. 

Also, I listened to Say Goodbye today and I still can't get my head around the fact that we probably won't ever hear it played live, that song was just made to be performed

I wish those memories of shows didn’t have to fade, but that’s why you have to keep going to more shows 🙂

And I feel the same way about Too Dumb to Die. Would have made a great single and live song.

Yesss, hopefully there'll be more soon :happy: 

And omg, I'm so happy to hear someone else feels like this about Too Dumb to Die! For some reason it became one of my favourites and I would love to hear it one day. (Say Goodbye just boggles my mind because I can see it work so well live and I'm really surprised they didn't play it at all)

Billie Joe's teeth are off centre and I can't unsee it

I saw that too and I wanted to cry as I yelled out 'FOR FUCKS SAKE HE'S GOT THEM TOM CRUISE TEETH :cry:
I've seen a lot of discussion about his teeth since he fixed them and I've always been like MEH IDGAF until now..

They are but at least they're bigger/whiter/straighter now :P. I saw a facebook post by someone knowledgeable about dentistry explaining his teeth a few months ago, it had a diagram and everything :lol:. I think the reason they gave for that is he's actually missing a tooth on one side near the front, they're all shifted together but it's an odd number of teeth so there's one in the middle and it's not symmetrical. I think it's part of his charm though (whether the cute original teeth or the new chompers), if they were perfectly symmetrical he'd probably look very different.

Was in the mood for a side project so I watched The Network - Disease is Punishment. What an underrated piece of performance art. It was ahead of its time now that the eighties are back in fashion. I hope it gets its due someday. It’s genius.

I just want to say that Love is For Losers is not my favorite Longshot song, but the intro gets me everytime. It doesn't matter where I'm at, what I'm doing or who I'm with. If I hear that song my head automatically starts bobbing. It's involuntary at this point.

I agree. The song itself is too much like Waiting (and waiting is too much like Downtown) but the intro is amazing.

I love LIFL. I wouldn't say it's my favourite, but out of all the Longshot songs, that's probably the only one that has consistently stayed near the top of my ranking throughout the whole Longshot thing. It's just so damn catchy, I've found myself randomly singing it on a daily basis since the first time I heard it - it just won't get out of my head. Plus, I'm still not over Billie running away at the end of the music video.:lol::wub:

Agreed! It's also arguably one of the best intros live. I mean, just look at that energy!

Morphing into hobo billie joe😜

Such a stupid thing, but it kinds of bothers me that the guys all look the same when they promote a Green Day album.   It keeps me up at night that they can't change their hair style when they are in Green Day mode.   I guess they are all super happy with those 'dos, since they've had the same ones for 18 years, hahahaha! 

I guess since I've had to shave my head for awhile it makes me wish they would utilize their ability to do whatever they want with their hair. They have the money, the time and freedom......unless someone is forcing them to have a certain image when promoting.   I doubt it.  I guess they just like those hair styles.   Nothing wrong with them I guess.

If I ever get to meet Billie, the first thing I'm gonna do is check if I'm actually taller than him or not.

Are you over 5'7? That's what he's generally thought to be and I believe it. He claims to be 5'8 himself but yeah right :lol:, and you can see Tre's like an inch shorter than him but isn't that short so I think 5'7 for Billie and 5'6 for Tre must be about it, it can't be much less than that as you can also see he's only 2-3 inches shorter than Mike max. He looks shorter because he has really short legs and is petite but the rest of his body is relatively long.

Of course if you met him while he was wearing his creepers you'd have to take them into account as they give him a big boost. It's complicated :lol:

He’s barely 5’7”. I’m 5’4 and 3/4” and he had no more than two inches on me so I’d say he just scrapes by at 5’7” or just under. Plus his shoulders and frame are really narrow so he seems even smaller.

I'm the exact same height as you. Sounds accurate, I hope to one day also stand close enough to him to compare!

And this only emphasizes the fact that "I'm only about 5'8" is one of the funniest things Billie has ever said :lol:

Yeah, I've heard some people that have met him say that he can't be more than 5'6", but I've also heard some people say that they're 5'8" and that he's taller than them, so I'm not gonna believe anything that's said about his height unless I get to see it for myself. That's why I posted my original comment.
