I haven’t watched any of the videos yet but reading this, I don’t even want to. Maybe I’m the only one, but if the price for sounding as great as they do right now is that Billie is going down that road again, I’m not ready to pay it. Sober RevRad Billie was perfect enough for me. The bad feeling I had from the very start of this era keeps intensifying, and this doesn’t help. Yeah I know the whole topic is the Voldemort of GDC that mustn’t be named so I’ll leave it at that.

Wow complete dejeffication

They essentially did. David was on drums, Kevin on guitar and Greg Schneider on bass who maybe has replaced Jeff. So call this Longshot 2.0

Seems to be over now 😂😉 Can we just appreciate his cute little smile? He looks as if he is adoring the slice of pizza.

Watching that 40min Green Day video from above. Here are my thoughts: Billie Joe is definitely hammered in this show. I bet he hasn't been this hammered on live show since iHeart perfomance back in 2012. Hopefully he is still ok. His vocals are so fucking good for almost 50yo man. I love it how those screams just get better year after year. How is it even possible? I also yelled like a motherfucker when I heard Welcome to Paradise back in E Standard tuning, god I fucking love them. Then the final nail in the coffin was Jesus of Suburbia which was actually really huge surprise for me. Setlist for that video: 1. Stop Drop and Roll 2. Father of All 3. Revolution Radio 4. Hitchin' A Ride (which actually wasn't dragged for 10 minutes, maybe they are learning how to cut unnecessary parts from songs?) 5. Welcome To Paradise 6. Burnout 7. Jesus of Suburbia

Jason teased a bit of Broadway after Father of All and then tried to start Platypus after RevRad, but that got shot down pretty quick

Incredible, I didn't expect them to do another super long show after they've seemed to be in favor of cutting it all down

It's the light and they all had moustaches. Mike had a bunch of sharpies with him and was passing them out trying to get everyone to draw them on their face.

You're not the only one. There's no way they sound so good because of That TM, it didn't seem to me that it helped in the past. I'm conflicted. I can't fully enjoy this even though the show is fun and exciting (still need to properly watch the videos), because I've seen this before and it's also been fun back then, until it wasn't and I really don't want that to happen again and that's hard to forget about. At the same time, I believe it's unfair to look at things anyone does and be like "oh I like this if only you were acting in a way I'd like better"...I mean, they sound absolutely amazing, the shows are fun and so far, it doesn't seem like he's badly out of control, so I believe now is the time to enjoy the ride and worry later if there'll be a reason to.

If it helps, despite my reputation here as the GDC worry wart, I can hopefully ease your mind and tell you that to me he did not look that “hammered” either during or after the show in the clips I’ve seen. He was drinking beer steadily but seemed very much in control and no more tipsy than everyone else on the stage. Judge for yourself, but to me the Oakland Coverups show of October of last year was way worse than this. This was not iHeart level drunk by any means.

We definitely need another butt pic. He has his moments during Rev Rad but he’s on a different level of sexy with this era. ❤️❤️❤️ That second pic. And the last two.

I knew what this was going to be and I clicked anyway

RevRad was plenty sexy. 😛 And as for reserved...

Seeing them fuckin up so bad is hilarious

It actually looks quite nice This era is one big deja vu but I can't say it's not fun in some way. Trilogy was fun too

I would say both. For sure he already has some grey hair but it's not that bad, just light. This definitely feels like trilogy all over again Seeing Billie Joe fucking trashed once in a while is entertaining but hopefully he doesn't drink after or during every show.

Most importantly, is this grey hair or just light? Also what's up with the mustaches, what the fuck!!! Who came up with that

Right? Yeah I just hope he's not going down that road again, but glad they are all having fun!😎

Billie looked absolutely smashed for that show, also smoking again, as long as he’s having fun

Going on three hours now And just ended

So after the Coverups set they did Stop, Drop and Roll, Mother Mary and then an entire Green Day set and Longshot!!!

This pic and a little video on @djrossstar IG story Found this on IG too

The Interrupters really should be headlining this show

I'm so happy to have The Interrupters

Kerrang! - of course - have reported on this show: https://www.kerrang.com/the-news/green-day-side-project-the-coverups-have-announced-a-show/ GREEN DAY SIDE-PROJECT THE COVERUPS HAVE ANNOUNCED A SHOW The Coverups will be performing later in the year with their friends in The Interrupters supporting. What a line-up, eh? Before Green Day busy themselves with a jam-packed 2020 – which will include the release of their new album Father Of All…, and the epic Hella Mega Tour – one of the band’s many side-projects have announced a surprise show. The Coverups, whose members include the band themselves as well as many of their alumni, will be performing in the run-up up to Christmas at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, joined by their friends in The Interrupters, plus One Less Zero, Dead Mermaids and Dead Sound. While the band’s line-up has typically included Green Day’s own Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, news of the gig was actually confirmed by drummer Tré Cool, who wrote in the caption, “Holy shit! I can’t wait!” suggesting he might actually be behind the kit at this particular date. Very interesting… If you’re yet to see what a Coverups show consists of, check this out: Following The Coverups’ gig on December 6, Green Day will be releasing their 13th studio album, Father Of All…, two months later – and it’s a record that the band created in order to “fuck with people”. “Do you want to go back and do the same old thing?” Tré told Kerrang!. “We don’t want to do what everyone would expect us to do, so it was just kinda mischief and making it fun. That was the bottom line of it.” “There’s a very fine line threading the needle for us, because we do want to try new things, but we always want to make sure it’s absolute Green Day, you know?” added Billie Joe. “It’s a very fine line – clever and stupid (laughs). But Green Day’s credo is mischief, no matter what. We’re always down for mischief and we want to fuck with people… to the point of it being abusive!”

Time flies

Lol, I read that is defecation! Different but the same.

Just cause he smoked one (or maybe only a few hits of one) cigarette doesn’t mean he’s a smoker

I LOVE his hair for this show last night. And the sexiness is definitely back. He was pretty reserved during RevRad.

Does anyone know the setlist?

Never question Mike with the "staches hahaha I think he came up with it for a joke😝

Still waiting for pro footage like

They just played the instrumental version of Father of All on Thursday Night Football.

I asked spotify to play bang bang this morning....

Looks like that Monsters of Rock thing that inspired the Hella Mega tour has been inspired in return. Just saw that Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett are touring together in 2020. Like Hella Mega, they are playing PNC Park in Pittsburgh in August.

Wow his belly button is unusually high🤣

Hey- anyone who's going to this. Winston Smith has the original cover art for Insomniac on display at the Haight Street Art Center in SF until December 7th. So if you're flying in or visiting for just a day or two, you'll be just in time to check it out!

I graduated the green day university and now I'm doing postgrad in longshot studies

I love the Interrupters/GD friendship and all of the awesomeness that it brings. Anyone who gets to go to this show is very lucky.
