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.

Honestly, if Tre (or his wife??) support Trump it doesn't matter to me at least I loved this band back when I was an extremely hard-core right winger, the political leanings of the members really don't have to affect anyone's feelings about the band's music.

Park Amps are still manufactured today, so I can't tell if that amp in the picture is an old one from the 60's or a newly manufactured one. He could be using a new one.

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.

AlissaGoesRAWR Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well then... it looks like I had a lot of catching up to do in here. 21 hours ago, J a c said: Could be a fake or something from the guys, made for sidetrack us. EDIT: The timing is also strange: this guy uploaded the picture 2 minutes after the the last BJ's picture. So it could hardly be a fake... the #revrad thing was too fresh to be faked. 21 hours ago, jumpsalty said: That random recording studio guy is a bit odd, seem like he only follows random people and all four of his photos are stock images. Plus their studio guys aren't the type to post stuff like that anyway 10 hours ago, Master Roshi said: "thetargetofanarmageddon" deleted his account. The guys are really enjoying themselves with this shit. Let the hype grow and delete everything some hours later so that the news won't spread too much. August 2016. New album release date folks! 8 hours ago, 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. 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. 4 hours ago, st_trillie said: Tré commented under his last post.

I understand not wanting to take vintage amps on a big tour, but someone like billie has the techs around and also money to buy backup amps if something goes wrong with one of them.

Hermione Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 They've created pirate radio stations, posted cryptic number sequences, made a website with a mysterious clock on it and gone to great lengths with secret side projects and god knows what else to troll fans before so I wouldn't put much past them.

I never said he was using amps made today, I simply stated that the amps ARE made today. I never once said they were the same quality either. Plus, I was referring to the amps that are in the Instagram photo he posted the other day. I in no way shape or form said anything about the amps he used on tour. I was simply stating that he had Park Amps in the photo and Park Amps are known for giving a more classic rock sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually started as a joke about the band crashing the Republican convention in Cleveland and evidently morphed GDC duh. Anyway I for one saw actual screenshots of comments by Sara before her IG was public (and she evidently deleted a tonne of posts) and she was/is a Mitt Romney supporter so my point was about her not her family. I was joking that Tré would hardly protest the Republican convention then go home to Sara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
