So one of those articles says Billie is not the lead vocalist on this?!?! Now I’m confused as to who sings lead??? Also people assume that song C..T is about her but there isn’t proof

He is not, sadly. Would've loved to see a post from him about this cover with Jakob.

I think my mom misses me because she's using any Green Day news/update to strike up a conversation with me. Sent me a screenshot of BOBD on the radio and then seemed oddly excited about the Super Bowl announcement?

This is good news. Is he back on instagram yet?

Here's some interesting articles from music press: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bille-joe-armstrong-jakob-david-bowie-heroes-cover-1235504061/ https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-and-son-jakobs-faithful-new-cover-of-david-bowies-heroes-3925141

Literally no one is sticking up for Joey. Bringing up the scandal in a thread about a cover he did with his OTHER son is extremely distasteful. Calling Bowie creep who sleeps with minors, based on mysoginistic rumors about Lori Maddox, despite other instances and behaviors proving otherwise is extremly distasteful. Comparing a grown man sleeping with teenage groupies, to a 22yo kid being in a relationship with a 17yo younger kid is extremely distasteful. Those are the only things I’m saying. Never did I stick up for Joey, I believe his victim and I believe he was abusive, based on her stories. But that is not due to his age, but his behavior towards her. I will no elaborate on it any further, just wanted to clear it up that I’m no supporting an abuser. Thanks. We feel like it has nothing to do with the subject at hand

It was illegal, the age of consent in California is 18. But it was never just about the age, it's that he was emotionally abusive towards her and pressured her into sexual activity. She wrote a detailed account about it, and he never denied anything she wrote or gave a different account. There's also the fact that literally his band's ENTIRE image and message was about being feminist and respecting women and their entire fanbase was young feminist girls. And their response after this happened was to just hide away and not talk about it. He and his band really were rightfully judged for it and deserved for it to end the band. You should look up her full statement about it. But anyway, this sounds aweseome! Gonna listen later

Pretty surprising to see something like this drop.

We're still waiting for this... it's been 3 long years!!

What does any of this have to do with Billie and Jakob being commissioned to record a David Bowie cover? Let’s remember the thread topic

Thank you for the information, I didn’t know that. That changes things of course. I thought it was only a matter of their age.

They won't. GD's opening, Bad Bunny's performing at halftime. The only way they perform together is if GD does a "guest spot" in Bad Bunny's halftime set.

This sounds amazing. Their voices are so similar!
