scatteredminority Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If Park amps are from the 60s it is likely that there aren't many left, so Billie probably wants to be careful and avoids taking them on tour. Knowing these amps are responsible for the guitar tone in AI and 21stCB, I'm really excited about the band using them again. While the main problem with the trilogy was the songwriting, its guitar tone was also atrocious. And also, I highly doubt that Tré supports Trump since he is an immigrant after all.

Expand He isn't an immigrant, if you're born to American parents on an American military base abroad it doesn't make you a citizen of that country, he was born an American citizen. I have no idea why Sara's family's political views are being discussed here. I don't believe we know anything about her political views and Tre has only ever expressed very liberal political views, how what his in laws post on facebook is relevant to that I don't know. Pretty sure Billie's father in law is a pastor and that never stopped him going after religion, just because some members of a family believe something it doesn't mean all their relatives do.

Expand On 1/28/2016 at 12:22 PM, Jane Lannister said: Wow. They have just made a fake account which announced a new album, spelled backwards and made their fans create theories about radians per second. This is what I love about this band. Expand Come on guys, do you REALLY think the band would make a fake account on Instagram to troll us/release information? Seems just a tad bit farfetched to me. When the $1.5 billion Powerball lottery numbers were announced earlier this month, people had already photoshopped pictures of their "winning tickets" within minutes and pretended they were winners on Twitter and Instagram. People catfish and create fake celebrity social media accounts all the time. Remember when the trilogy was being recorded and that guy implied he was Billie Joe on Twitter (https://twitter.com/JosephKingston1) for months and a bunch of people on GDC fell for it and followed him? Then he trolled everyone by saying ridiculous stuff about suicidal thoughts/alcohol addiction, etc. just to get a rise out of people. I guess what I'm saying is I really don't think it's that farfetched for someone to be mooching off the Green Day members' posts for social media attention, even if something was posted within minutes of Billie Joe's original post. And I wouldn't be surprised if it continued throughout the year. People do weird shit online all the time, and you should definitely be wary of it. I'm all for new album hype, but definitively claiming that it was the band on that "thetargetofanarmageddon" Instagram account without any proof is just way too much for me to believe.
