Am I the only one who can't listen to Junkies On A High? Because that "rock n roll tragedy" line makes me sad 😕

Yeah that one is tough, the first time I listened to the song it made my heart skip a beat and it's still heavy, but I love the song so much that I keep listening anyway. I think it could also be inspired by Bowie's "Rock'n'Roll Suicide", which I also love, very, very much.

It made me sad when I first heard it but Billie said it’s not completely autobiographical, inspired by a quote so yeah I love the song but get some 21pilots vibes, is it weird idk but it reminds me of their style  

Oh ok. That's good its not totally about him,  i agree tho it does sound a bit like a 21 Pilots song

of all the similarities between green day songs and other artists' the one I can't get over is More Than A Feeling/The Nows. I randomly tuned on a classic rock station and they were playing Boston and it just cracked me up, I love it..

Nope, but the reason I can't listen to it because It's. Too. Slow.

I thought of 27th Ave Shuffle which I also love very much

Billie Joe Armstrong low key looks like the description of Harry Potter in the first book

The sold out uncensored FOAM vinyl is up for sale on Ebay for 150$, with people actually bidding for it, quite an investment 39.gif

Wow, well I love my copy and I’m not gonna sell it :P I also think it’s quite a bubble that’s gonna explode not in a long time. Not sure how many copies of this are out there but I think quite a lot, I don’t expect to see it listed for more than 50$ after a few months. I mean for 200$ one can buy the Tim Timebomb & Friends Vinyl collection, which was a very very limited print with no reprints/alternative editions.

It's weird because there may still be copies available? Last time I checked, you could pick the explicit vinyl when trying to buy one of the bundles 🤷‍♀️

Mmm weird, I remember it sold out pretty quickly, like a week after the announcement or something like that. Maybe they printed more copies afterwards since they realized it was a high demand item.

Yeah I remember it selling out super fast, but someone on Reddit pointed out you could still get it with a bundle. And when I tried it let me select it, so I have no idea. Maybe it stops you when you try to pay - I didn't test it that far. 

But I'm so glad I snagged a copy! I went to the store as soon as the album was announced :D

Been sold out in the UK for ages even with the bundles. Maybe in the US?

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me: the chorus of MMOTR has a harmonic progression that's very similar to a song from this 50 years old Czechoslovak movie

21 pilots is a good call but my first thought was, and still is, they must've been listening to Noel Gallagher - another increasingly problematic British icon for Billie to love on, checks out  :sherlock: :P

You're right! And it's extra funny because Oasis complained about BIAB sounding like their song... he did it again :lol:

It's a classic.

Someone tried to convince me that BJA's "real" name is William 🤣

Oh, William, doesn't sound nearly as cute as Billie.😉

Exactly what I told them :P They still didn't believe me lmao so I showed them how Mike's wikipedia page says "Michael Ryan Pritchard" and how Tre's says "Frank Edwin Wright III" but BJA's simply says "Billie Joe Armstrong" ... there ain't no William here!
