I've always thought something about his teeth affected his singing on Warning too. It's very...spitty and a faint lisp. Maybe the chipped front teeth did it? I don't know but it's different. But also I think he just changed his style of singing. He used to sing in a more bratty/shouty way and (whether consciously or unconsciously) kind of threw both his singing and speaking voice to make it sound lower. At some point he dropped that and let his naturally higher speaking voice come through and I think something similar happened with the singing, it became more natural sounding and less stylised. Warning was probably in the transitional period of that.

DUDES. ON MY FANGIRL SEARCH I FOUND THIS PRICELESS SHIT I'M CRYING HOLY FUCK

^^^ The chins tho.😍😂

There's nothing going on, so let's look at Billie looking at things.

Just discovered the "Stay the Night" acoustic off Demolicious and um I am OBSESSED. slightly sick sounding Billie that was either recorded on a phone or a potato is just mesmerizing for me. GOD I love this band and I love this man 😭

I absolutely have to use any excuse to post this

Oh god! That's awful Hopefully you get a new laptop soon!!!

Laptops are investments, and I'd pay that for one! Hell, I paid $1,200 American for a PC!!!

Thank you for the information and god I always love your thoughts on stuff like this!!!! Yeah, I noticed more in the earlier albums like Insomniac (been binging lately!) that he has a tiny lisp/congestion. I don't know if dental surgery would help with stuff like that either, but I did notice around those times a different sound from him. I might be nuts though! Thank you @Montclare

The two biggest ones were around 2002 (pre Pop Disaster Tour) and the end of 2016. Not sure how much of an impact it had on his singing though. His biggest lisp was in Fell for You. I'd say the change between Warning and AI was him sounding less congested. I doubt dental surgery would have anything to do with that though.

@maryjanewhatsername I do something pretty similar! I subtly slip Green Day references into conversations so I can keep talking about them without whoever I’m talking to being aware of it.

When you can't mention Green Day around your friends anymore from obsessing too much so you have to talk about them in code.

The only reason I have an android phone is because of green day

When someone on TV says the word "chump" and you immediately start singing.
