As several have mentioned, you don't have to follow them. They didn't create these accounts to have Green Day fans follow them. That is probably the last thing they want knowing how most of us can be. to be fair Billie does have a private account and uses the BJA as a fan account but still he can post whatever he wants and as you pointed out don't follow if you don't like his posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 6 hours ago, st_trillie said: Not that I'm agreeing with the other person posting about Mike however I disagree that their IG accounts are not professional or associated with Green Day. Mike, Billie and Tre's accounts are all linked to Green Days official website and facebook with regular reminders to "follow Tre Cool/Billie Joe/Mike Dirnts official IG account" on their website. If their accounts were simply PERSONAL and being followed by fans was "probably the last thing they want" then they have a highly bizzare way of behaving...or are bipolar. Also it's no massive secret that some of the members have private accounts that are their personal accounts and these public accounts are clearly intended purely for public consumption. This is true, but to expand on this Mike has always treated his public account as a place to post photos of his life in general rather than as a "professional" account aimed only at updating fans about the band. If he was posting on Green Day's Instagram or directly in this thread I'd understand complaining that it's not Green Day related but as it is it's just an Instagram account where he posts things that are interesting/important to him both professional and personal. It's linked on Green Day sites because it does include Green Day stuff as part of what he posts but that doesn't mean he's obliged to only post that, it's a "Mike Dirnt" account not a "Green Day" account. 10 hours ago, Brutal-xkid2 said: Billie does post some random stuff, but its rarely.

Its you guys keep posting stuff here. I do understand its their instagram forum, but it has its limits. Post photos thats related to Green day, not Mike asking if he should grow or shave his beard. If youre interested in his personal life you shall follow them and not stick them to my face.

Well if we only allowed Green Day related Instagram posts to be reposted here they'd be few and far between . I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying seeing a bit about the band members as people as well as just strictly band related stuff, it's no different to hearing them asked about themselves in interviews etc. We don't allow photos of family that weren't posted by band members or any private/stolen photos on GDC but I don't see the problem with posting what Billie Mike and Tre choose to share on their public Instagrams, having a place to see what they post is the main point of this thread. And I don't see how Mike is attention seeking any more than anyone who posts photos of their family/life/stuff they're doing on their social media accounts, he's just using Instagram for its intended purpose of sharing photos he's taken that are interesting/relevant to him.

solongfromthestars Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's one of the most bizarre descriptions of Mike I've ever read. If any of them could be mistaken for "extroverted wannabe" types it's probably Tre with all the "jokey" stuff he does. Not saying he actually is by any means, but Mike definitely fits that description the least. You don't have to follow this thread if you don't like their Instagram posts, either. It's fine to dislike them, but why get wound up about something you don't have to look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'd have a problem with Mike's posts if he was spamming. It's true he's the one who posts the most often but I'm ok as long as his beard pics aren't all over my news feed. I think Instagram is the first time when we could see what he really is like. He didn't come off as such an open person before. He decided to share with us by far the most. I'm glad he's posting there because if learning more about the band members is the purpose he's fulfilling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She_92 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It's ok if you don't like instagram and it's ok if you don't like Mike. But this is a Green Day Instagram thread, and Mike is a Green Day member. So, if you don't like him, and especially the two things together, you just can ignore this thread. You can always see Green Day news somewhere else, there are a lot of other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie isn't posting about being in the studio recording a new album though. If and when he does it'll be posted here for you to enjoy. In the mean time what they do post on Instagram will be posted here, as that's what this thread is for. There's nothing to protest as you can simply check the band members' Instagrams for band related photos yourself if you prefer (links in the OP), and visit this thread to join the discussion about them then. No one's forcing you to come here and read posts about other photos in between. Or if you really hate Instagram you could leave it alone altogether, if some decent news about a new album was posted there it'd be reported on GDA, greenday.com and elsewhere in Green Day Chat anyway. No one's shoving anything in your arse, you're choosing to read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy" I think you really need to take a step back and chill. This sentence was so over the line I can't even describe it. Brit and Mike conducted themselves with openness and dignity throughout her entire illness. Her recovery should be celebrated not ridiculed. She is an inspiration for anyone suffering from a serious illness. I personally can look at pictures of her all day. I will quote the great Howard Stern, if you don't like what you hear, change the channel. As others have pointed out, you don't have to come to this thread. IF it upsets you, don't.

Well y'know Billie, Mike and many others do more things than what's neccessary. Sometimes we take redundant selfies and put them on Instagram. You can't expect everything to be about a new album especially when there's no new album in making. No one is shoving anything into your ass. This is what life in this godawfully boring fandom looks like for most of the time. Actually there's no point in being like "give me a new album or else" because it won't change anything and things wouldn't be exciting anyway if the band was completely silent during the break. Also Mike isn't saying "fuck you no new album", he in fact isn't obliged to make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that when they start posting about a new album it'll have its own thread and you'll find all news on it in there. Chill out, stop looking at this one if it bothers you and wait for that. No one else has an issue with it (or anyone who does likely doesn't look at this thread) so nothing is going to change. You could also just check Billie's Instagram regularly using the website if you really need to avoid Mike's posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing to complain here won't stop Green Day members using Instagram or prevent their photos being posted in this thread, so I suggest if you dislike seeing that you simply don't click on it. Back to posting and discussing Green Day Instagram photos please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
