 I was all ready to buy one of those Horny keychains on the GD web store because it's on sale for like $10 right now, but then I got to checkout and the shipping was an additional $7.99 and I was like "no fucking way". I can just make my own for way cheaper. Horny is easy to draw and I could figure out some way to do it. It's a shame their shipping rates are so outrageous even within the US. I can't imagine what the overseas rates are.

This is why I hate buying anything from Green Day's store. The shipping is outrageous. I would like a drunk bunny plush but when all is said and done it's gonna be close to 40 bucks! No thanks!

Never seen this. It’s pretty damn funny. Is there any more of this interview out there?

I remember watching it at the time and it was definitely longer than that but if it's available out there I've no clue, sorry. I seem to remember them talking about a dead bird or something that was sent to Mike (something like that anyway!)

Think the bird was left it in Billie’s mail box and Tre got it and went round to the guy who put it there to “sort him out” was the story 😁

The rule of thumb is that if you can not mention someone's "fat ass", you don't.

Given that it was 2012, I’ll give his tactless ass a pass for not having his usual filter on in interviews.  He normally never talks like that (his wife’s not exactly maintained a size four after all). I blame the drugs.

I know, I just couldn't stop myself from pointing it out... it's such a douchey thing to say... He gets a pass or at least a benefit of doubt - there are people who act like this without being on drugs and that's way worse of course.

Same. I thought about it too but let it go in my head. I thought about how it seemed like an unlikely thing for him to say. Very out of character and I guess that’s why I let it go. If he regularly said stuff like that I wouldn’t even like the band or support them or buy any records or merch and I would think they were a douche band with a douchey songwriter douche lead singer.

I think it was paraphrasing other people like “whoa they really let themselves go they’ve put in weight” when a regular douche sees someone put on weight. I think Billie Joe just had an unfiltered brain fart.

Thanks for mentioning it. I thought about it too. I thought it was out of character I don’t think he would have said that if he didn’t have verbal diarrhea at the time.

And seriously (not seriously but seriously he is so missed) this is why he needs to come back to Instagram with his uncontrollable diarrhea in comments on livestreams so when he says dumb stuff like a woman let herself go with a fat ass we would know it’s out of character and not think too much of it.

Billie Joe needs to come back to social media with his off the cuff stories and interaction with fans and douches alike. So when he says something that might be misinterpreted as a douchey thing we can be like: oh, he didn’t mean that the way it might have sounded. It’s out of character and shouldn’t be taken for more than it is.

He is missed but he should do what’s best for himself. I hope there’s more Green Day excitement soon. Downtime has been so down the past year.

Nope!  Still bread on their roof.

Does someone in the building toss it up there for the birds?  Do birds drop bread on their roof?  Or are all of our roofs covered in bread?  So many questions!

I was just about to say, I bet someone put that there for birds!

It was a stupid thing to say, but after listening to the video, it seemed he was pointing out different ways people could interpret the song title (which is not necessarily the same as his intention--in fact his intention is pretty different if you listen to the song). It felt to me like he was actually making fun of the people who would say something like that and/or take the song title that way. I didn't get the impression he was actually making fun of anyone's weight or appearance. 

This is not aimed at you, but you all can tell who it is aimed at. I am not sure what Adie's size has to do with this. The last I saw of her, she looked amazing and very healthy and a lot younger than she actually is. Both she and Billie look fantastic for their ages; I bet there are a lot of people on this site who wish they looked like either of them. This comment feels like, "I am offended by this person's comment, so I am going to make a personal attack comment of my own." 🙄

On a lighter note, this exists, and poor Billie does not look OK. 🤣

I don’t know guys, I know what you mean by saying he was just mentioning two ways you could understand the song title and he’s not saying it’s what he meant by it, but that’s exactly the reason why he didn’t have to bring the fat ass up at all, if he didn’t want to. I’m not making a sweeping judgement about him based on this dumb comment, but I’m also not going to make excuses.

It was a dumb comment. I’m surprised and disappointed he said it.

Except that there were probably drugs involved, so we’ll make excuses for that. But you’re right it was dumb and if his sisters heard it they’d kick his ass, and lucky from his music we know that’s not who he is. I have never heard lyrics from any other songwriter that has as much respect for women. He never writes about women’s physical attributes like ever rocker in history has done, but only about their character and admirable qualities and that’s what I judge him on. Doesn’t mean dude doesn’t say stupid shit in private like people do sometimes.

so I think the drugs are a mitigating circumstance

 

Prescription drugs? That's what the man said in Rolling Stone. Sorry to nitpick

Glad you remembered the bird story too 

This was from around the same time

I really need to hear this bird story now! I wonder if the whole interview is out there somewhere. I certainly remember this first part of it.

Prescription drugs can be very dangerous drugs.
