Their set from yesterday has been uploaded in two parts to youtube.

NOW IS THE TIME.....for a Mike Dirnt solo record. some rando place called "Pure Music Moments" currently has a link to an article that's clearly bogus. it says Green Day announced a Summer Carnival Tour - One Last Ride that will be their farewell tour. lol

Listened a couple more times and I feel fairly confident about who is singing what now. Voices are so similar, but Jacob’s pronunciations are a little different. First refrain and chorus - Billie Verse 1 and second chorus - Jacob Verse 2, refrain, third chorus - Billie Verse 3, fourth chorus - Jacob Bridge - both? Last chorus and outro - Billie

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here, we all have different laws with different age limits. Sixteen is the age of consent here so I have never got involved in these discussions. It’s largely the culture you are used to. Anyway, Jakob says they shared it YT tube says Billie is lead, a press review (now lost in among many, can’t remember which) says Billie is lead….either way, it sounds great. They certainly compliment each other, that genetic connection wins every time.

They sound soooo similar, I was doing my dishes when I listened to it for the first time, and didn’t even realize Jakob was singing too, I thought he just did the guitar. I figured Billie really brought out that deep voice from his youth. Only on he second listen I realized there were 2 voices on the track lol I don’t think 16y years olds are mature, but neither are 22 years olds. Now, at 28, looking back, I see more similarities between my 22yo self and my 16yo self than between my 28yo self now and my 22yo self.

This is what I wanted to say but couldn’t really express it in English. Thank you!

So I guess you boycott every classic rock artist and group from the 70’s then because literally every band from The Rolling Stones to The Who to Led Zeppelin and anyone else you could name considered teenage groupies to be a rock star perk.

Just noticed Jillie Bow Legweak changed his spotify profile pic.

So Heroes was recorded to commemorate the upcoming 50th season of Survivor. Why am I not surprised. With the band due to open a major sporting event, not for the first time, the band seem to be the first choice to nominate an existing song or even write one for some sort of major event. The last one being the song Underdog for soundtrack for a new animal series for National Geographic. There have been 17 other songs used for various soundtracks going back to 1995, some existing, others songs written specifically for soundtrack. And this year's no different. Nice one GD. Just shows how really special you continue to be even in the mainstream environment.

Wake Me Up When September Ends hit 1 billion Spotify plays.

It’s the same point whether it’s you who judge musicians that way or him if he did that The Coverups would have no one to cover. He’s not going to select songs that way when it was a thing across the board back then it’s silly. This has nothing to do with Joey.

I had an ex who when he was 22 and started dating someone who was 16. Everyone around me, including myself, thought it was weird and kind of disgusting. If they'd been ten years older I wouldn't think that much of it though. I thought about this earlier. 😂 Nice to see something more up to date, lol.

I was trying to figure out which parts were which singer, and I’m not entirely sure. I think they sound so similar! Have you listened to Jakob’s (as The Death Chat) song Lost at Sea? He sounds SO MUCH like Billie in that one!

I think you could be right, especially about Jakob’s delivery early on.

it's not meant to be, its because their set had to end early and he counted down to announce there was one minute left.

Yeah, but how is that like his freak out? I know he doesn't remember it so maybe he's doing it freaking wrong. lol

I'm sorry...50 seasons of Survivor?! WTF?!

I like Bowie.

So apparently, this is connected to the tv show Survivor. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/film-tv-music-news/billie-joe-armstrong-records-cover-of-heroes-for-survivor-1236482742/

Happy birthday @jengd! Enjoy some cake.

Brilliant cover. A great welcome to 2026❤️ Love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight.

I saw! I guess that random page I found was right And I just wrote about it for the site This probably means we'll get more Green Day related figures in the future. I actually would love one of Horny the Unicorn. I may skip the Kerplunk girl for now. Now, if they do figures of the boys, I'm all over that!

This is cute too, Mark Hoppus praising Mike: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT3AULkjGJO/?igsh=d2wxdXA0dXFqMGY2

Not easy at all and no one is/was like Bowie, so this is a tough task. I really enjoy hearing Billie Joe give it a try and wholeheartedly appreciate getting this stuff from him ❤️ That being said... bring on more Beach Boys!!!

https://www.instagram.com/p/DT1B63UjWOP/?igsh=enNpZm5oeGZ4anN4 just saw this, sounds fabulous. Tomorrow is my birthday, thanks Billie and Jakob. Yes I am taking this as being for me 😂😂

Why thank you @Montclare. Much appreciated! 😘

In Germany it’s legally allowed to have sex with someone of the age 14 and older if it’s consensual. I don’t want to say that I would approve of that but the Joey „affair“ wouldn’t be a thing here.

Happy birthday @jengd , I hope you have an amazing day!

So having listened quite a few times to this, albeit not yet on quality headphones, I’m actually changing my mind on who sings which part and I see Jakob just posted that they shared the vocals. I said a short while ago I didn’t think they sounded that similar but I think I might have to take that back!

What a wild thing to say. Nothing proves that David Bowie ever slept with underaged girls. He specifically refused to kiss Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth because of her age, and he had a long string of girlfriends and boyfriends and all of them were full grown adults. Predators don’t sleep with children once and then start dating adults, it’s a repetitive and recognizable pattern. And bringing up the Joey scandal is completely unnecessary, but so is comparing a 22yo kid, dating a 16yo younger kid to a full grown adult grooming a child.

Not a Bowie fan I take it?

I've checked that 1234 Go Records is based solely in Oakland California, and that they supply worldwide from that location, if I've understood their distribution details correctly. So the high shipping costs maybe due to distance, and for fast delivery maybe via air-mail.

hmm... I just took a listen to this 3 minutes ago. It's not bad but i don't think it's that good, in my own opinion. Definitely might be a grower. But again it's not bad, so i'll just say it's at least nice. Thanks money coffee legweak

woohoo!! happy birthday!! <33

Happy birthday!

Not an easy vocal style and he nails it. Love the guitar too this is an amazing cover

Can’t think of a better community to share with ❤️

What a great cover, so haunting, love it. I see where @Liam is coming from, Billie does a great switch from chest voice to head voice.

This and "Kids in America" are my favorite covers he's released imo

Happy birthday!! I think this cover really is, specially for you...

This is SO good, i didnt know i needed this!

Went into it with apprehension and then immediately added it to my Billie playlist. Love it!

I really like Billie’s vocal delivery in this. Very classy and tender. Would be interested in this with Saviors vocal production instead of this “he’s far away” sound.

I'm fascinated to see what comes out of this performance.

Absolutely incredible. The chemistry between Billie and Jakob is unreal... their voices blend so perfectly. This cover is such a beautiful gift and a truly extraordinary tribute to Bowie’s legacy... 🤍 Hope he's going to play it at next Coverups show.

Just listened to it. Loved it. It's wild how much Jakob sounds like Billie!

Could be. There’s also a new Bowie doc that’s on Netflix and it inspired me to make a playlist. He could have seen that too. Bowie’s having a moment for sure
