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

Setlist leak: American Idiot (dedicated to MAGA) Holiday (dedicated to Adolf Hitler and the proud boys of ICE) Hitchin' a Ride (dedicated to Pete Hegseth) Nice Guys Finish Last (dedicated to the Democratic Party) Dominated Love Slave (dedicated to Karoline Leavitt) Prosthetic Head (dedicated to Kristi Noem) King for a Day (dedicated to J.D. Vance) F.O.D. (dedicated to Donald Trump) Minority (dedicated to the rest of us)

Well done dedicated and faithful GD disciple warrior. Our continuing mission is to convert this lost world to the wonders of Green Day. 🤪

I prefer Drunk Bunny instead 🙂

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?

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

Happy belated! Fink is here for page 666 😈

Little butthurt diaper boy couldn’t stand getting told to his face to fuck off 🤣 Another service the boys have done for this country. God’s favorite band does it again

I woke up to an Instagram DM from someone I used to work with saying she's been thinking about me because she's learning drums and her teacher's favourite band is also Green Day. She said she's been learning a lot of Green Day and asked my favourite albums, so we'll see if she sends me something she's learned at some point

I live kind of in the middle of nowhere in an old mining village and I've only ever heard Green Day playing once outside my house when in about 2012 my neighbour's son drove up blasting Basket Case. However I was just going into the village store today when Minority blasted out from a car. I got so excited

Depending on time and what lies ahead for my day, I stop everything and listen to a song or album at random. It stays in my head for the day and sets me up, to keep me sane or insane, lol. No matter what shit comes my way, I see it through the eyes of Green Day and I stay crazy. Today, and for a while recently, I keep coming back to Basket Case, the 4-track demo from Dookie Anniversary box set. With those alternative lyrics, and Billie Joe's phenomenal guitar playing, holy shit I love this version, Billie Joe you never cease to amaze me. I can't stop playing it and it won't leave my head. Not that I'm complaining. 😄

anddd now my friend just sent me a message of a photo of a bunch of GD songs on spotify she was listenin to, and she said that blvrd of broken dreams is THE BEST SONG she's ever heard :0 and this is someone who used to not like GD Xb i have succeeded in my mission XD

Well I came here to say that I’m amused that it ended up being for a Survivor commercial. Was not expecting the Joey controversy to be debated again lol. The reality is, most Green Day fans have no idea that even happened and wouldn’t make the connection and I say this as someone who was into SWMRS and am so happy that Joey got rightfully cancelled.

This sounds amazing. Their voices are so similar!

Pretty much lol Just play Holiday five times. Dedicate it to a different person each time, and give a different person the floor each time around. The homophobic slur in there can be easily replaced with other slurs each time.

Everyone thinks the same. Can we all just take a short moment to enjoy the comment section of this video?

No, I like that too! And Graffitia and Stab you in the Heart and Junkies on a High. To be honest I like the whole album. My least favorite song is the title track, of all things...

https://www.instagram.com/p/DUEBP6ojSKG/?igsh=ajVvYjFodXN1cTQx This is a football/soccer show and he’ll be on as a guest talking about the sport and presumably the Oakland Roots team. It will likely be available to stream at some point

Same! As if I don't know I was like thanks but yes, I'm aware lol. With the help of the great people of Green Day Community, we often know about things before they're officially announced

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

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

Wasn't sure where to put this article from my collection of old magazines. Decided to put it here because of the photos https://www.instagram.com/p/DT-uwRRArSt/?igsh=MTk5ODkwMDd5eHFrYg==

Well if they censor GD and Bad Bunny, pretty sure we're not gonna hear a single sound during both concert.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/donald-trump-wont-attend-super-bowl-bad-bunny-green-day-1235504274/ trump says he wont attend this years super bowl because "It's just too far away" but slams bad bunny and green day at the same time: “I’m anti-them,” Trump said of the artists. “I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.” this man 🫠

am i the only one who kinda liked "oh yeah!" ??

Graffitia and Fire, Ready Aim are me 2 fav tracks.

Forgot about these... i made these on the 17th i think, maybe even before that while i was at my grandmas. I had a regular pencil with those pink erasers on the end of it but it would just smudge pink instead of erase anything... so i took advantage of that n doodled saviors billie n tre and one eyed bastard (I forgot how to draw tre)

It's one of the few times I'd support Know Your Enemy being played, since it'd be easy to slip in "Do you know Trump/Ice's the enemy".

I just love that people will send me Green Day news unprompted

Absolutely. I always come on here first for updates and announcements, and they are always reliable. greenday.fm & greenday.com are always days behind any announcement on here. Wouldn't surprise me if the band come on here first as well to check out what's happening. lol. 😁😁

What? I didn't even know Jakob was singing on it. But my brother and dad sound exactly the same when they sing even though they don't when they talk so that could be the case here It's a cool cover, a big song to tackle but they pull it off well! Yes that is a good description of the vocals here, sounds very different

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

i've been listening to waiting way too much... but also i keep thinking of father of all...? i've never listened to that song in full by the way.

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.

Even if they were to censor it, plenty of people in the stadium would still be filming it. The uncensored version would be posted somewhere almost immediately.

It’s ok to love Green Day and call out Joey a 22 year old adult for even thinking let alone wanting anything to do with a 16 year old child…if that was someone’s daughter or sister on here I wonder if they’d stick up for Joey?….great cover still not sure who sings what wish the vocals were louder. 7/10. Like a Rolling Stone is the best GD cover of all time that never gets talked about I also love Billie’s cover of Nirvana’s Drain you wish that was recorded

I believe 8th February, 3pm Pacific time.

Late to this conversation since I am not on here much anymore, but I was pumped when I first heard this announcement a week ago. Now we just need to get my Patriots into the Super Bowl. 😀 I have always wanted to see Green Day perform at a Super Bowl, so this is a dream come true. Also, I am not sure if this is accurate or not, but I am hearing rumblings of Green Day also joining Bad Bunny for part of the halftime show. Seems like an interesting pairing, but I am curious if anyone else hear has heard anything like that?

Very likely, especially since the song can also be interpreted in a sports context. It's a perfect double entendre. Remember this promo from back in 2009?

Listening to music is a great way to process emotions, and anger is no exception. Sometimes, all we need is to blast our favorite tunes out loud and channel our rage through them. Indeed, doing this can be quite cathartic, so without further delay, here are some of the best angry songs to help you blow off some steam. In at number 10:- 'Basket Case' by Green Day "Do you have the time to listen to me whine / About nothing and everything all at once?" Green Day's 1994 tune is great to let it all out to. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/the-best-angry-songs-to-vent-your-rage-to/ss-AA1e6xzh?ocid=msedgntp&pc=EDGEDB&cvid=697c7169b9284ff3979c6f698954e347&ei=23#image=10

I really love Take the money and crawl! But some interesting lyrics here again…😂

I'm pretty sure Jakob sings only these parts: … and the rest is Billie. I could be wrong though

All of my friends sent me the news about the Super Bowl performance. Way ahead of you, friends

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

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.

For me it has been "Burnout" these past days. 😭

I bought one of these the day it came out. I have a friend who works at Gibson and he was able to hold one of the Natural versions back for me as they sold out the second they were announced. Was it £1200? Yes. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth it? 100%. It took a fair bit of work to get set up but now it's done it's truly glorious. Like all high end Epiphones, the materials and feel are excellent but they don't come with any kind of setup. I'm really surprised by just how much it sounds like the original though, I'm really blown away. It's the tone I've been chasing for 20 years. I've got a few Green Day tribute sets lined up in the next couple of months and I can't wait to give it a run out on stage.

Funny story - he was a Democrat then

I don't know if I've said this already, but I've finally listened to Unt! It was pretty good! Solid 8/10. Are you proud of me @Mollyluna
