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

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. 😄

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.

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

What green day song is stuck in your head today? ive listened to Macys day parade 5 times and its still in there 😭

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

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

I'd be careful about bringing up the whole Joey story.. I once dared to give an objective opinion about the whole situation and situations like that in general, and then got accused by a certain moderator for ''writing an essay defending statutory rape'' and got warning.. I was insulted to my very own core, especially considering my whole life believes and stances are a full hard 180 from that. Fuck those assholes. Fuck hypocrisy and twisting words. Viva Green Day!

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.

That's what I've been thinking. I'm so confused

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.

It'll be like blink 182 playing family reunion

Who knows. It might be good.

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

yippee thanks!! XD my mission now is to get some kids in my school into GD >:D not an easy task TvT

fashion victim Xb i was listenin to my warning CD last night and its still stuck in my head TvT and also fear of the dark XD tho thats by iron maiden lmao

I kinda hope they revise 21st century and change homeland security could kill us all to ice could kill us all What year was it? Cause he stopped being Democrat in 2009 from 09-11 he was Republican 2011-2012 he was independent then back republican

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 tone 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.

They are two completely different genres of music. I highly doubt they will do a performance together lol

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

This sounds amazing. Their voices are so similar!

life sucks but i have green day 2048

According to reddit this is up already for people in certain time zones. Heroes by David Bowie covered by Billie Joe featuring his son Jakob. So I assume it’s dropping everywhere Friday? https://www.reddit.com/r/greenday/s/kr2FMUIS6H

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.

Green Day featuring Bad Bunny = The american dream is skibididibing me

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

Funny story - he was a Democrat then

Funny that Trump wont attend because of Green Day but he showed up at opening night of American Idiot on Boadway.

I prefer Drunk Bunny instead 🙂

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)

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

This is exactly what free will has evolved for.

I had the music on shuffle earlier today and something odd happened. Green Day's Suzie Chapstick Acoustic came on immediately after The Network's Supermodel Robots and.....I had to bounce back and forth between them because.....I dunno. I guess I almost heard the similarly despite the vast difference in styles. Will The Network ever show us their faces? Is Brandon....I mean Spike doing okay?
