Ok I didn't actually steel the real one... but when i posted a picture people on Instagram dm'ed me thinking i did 😂. This is my Blue replica/tribute. Id love to hear any input/suggestions for you guys on here. I took some pictures of it from the same angles as the ones BJA put up a while back and posted them both below for comparison. Let me know what you think! imgur.com/a/Obankip

That was one of the best BJA (GD included) shows in LA since the 90s. That was a legendary show. I think I won’t go tomorrow because it can’t be as good as this was. Skewed young and that’s good because no industry. I have some great vids and now off to party. Wow what a show. This was something special. I’m glad they moved it when I wasn’t before because the show had a feel of growth of the band and I’m not gonna lie, I’d rather see a Longshot show in a small venue than GD in a big one. As fun as he had on the RevRad tour, I’ve never seen him like this. Crowd surfing, shit eating grin the whole time. He even sang into people’s phones up front because the whole house was jumping and everyone was generally awesome. One note: if you’re a person who doesn’t like getting knocked around, don’t go to the second row of a BJA show! That’s gonna happen even with the nicest people. This was good fun guys. I’ll post vids tomorrow. Too wasted now! 5* review. Was a perfect show (with all his imperfections tonight and Kevin was amazing. Have they don’t that head to head thing already because that was sort of amazing. Ok. Still reeling.

GUYS I HAVE CONFIRMED NEWS ABOUT THE NEW GREEN DAY ALBUM AND SINGLE CONFIRMED AND VERIFIED!!!!!! here it goes

Maybe all these leaks are true and we're getting like 15 new albums this year

Yes tonight in Santa Ana 😢 I have to say I appreciate this so much of The Longshot keeping us happy and distracted this week from waiting for Green Day news. It was getting hard this was just what I needed. Billie sounds and looks great he seems so happy and ready to go out on the road again 💚🔥

I'm sorry because I really don't want to encourage discussions about Billie's drinking or imply that what I'm going to say applies to him. But as a recovering alcoholic (just had my 31st sober birthday) the "most alcoholics are safe to drink" rhetoric that comes up every time Billie's seen with a drink annoys me because it's dangerous. In those 31 years, having taken meetings and done phone service for years, as well as visiting alcoholics in prison, I've never known a single alcoholic who could safely continue drinking. If they could they weren't an alcoholic. No program I've ever heard of or been part of would encourage it either. That's not to say it's impossible but it's a rare exception, not the rule and shouldn't be encouraged without knowing someone's circumstances. Again, I'm not saying this applies to Billie. I have no idea how his sobriety works and it's none of my business. I'm saying this purely on the basis of it being a harmful statement to throw around. I wouldn't want someone to go away from this thread thinking it's OK for them to have a drink when they're trying not to. Sometimes that misplaced validation is all a struggling alcoholic needs. Maybe instead of insisting Billie's drinking must be healthy now, we just shouldn't discuss it. It's no less an invasion of privacy than worrying anyway. Whether or not there are reasons to be pleased or to worry, it's not for us to do so unless he shares that with us.

One , Twenty One Songs 😏

This is just as bullshit as the first leak with the difference that this bullshit is nicer to look at.

Here, have a smooch. 💋

My nephew's 11 and for the past couple of years he's mostly only been into chart music and not so much into Green Day or any rock. But the other day he told me he and his friends at school have started a band (it's a thing where they're allowed to use the music equipment at lunchtime) with him singing. I asked him what kind of music they were doing and he said "like Green Day" Turned out the way it started was his friend was playing a song on keyboard that he recognised as a GD song, the friend was very surprised he recognised it and was like how did you know?? He said because of my mum and auntie . I guess it's not that common for two 11 year olds to know Green Day now so that's cool. And now they're writing songs and trying out music stuff. Warms my heart!

Nightlife is the worst song Green Day has recorded

"I've been waiting a long time, for this... forum to give me, any credible info, at alllllllllllllll"

I would honestly be more excited for an extended Longshot tour than seeing GD in a giant arena right now. I'd give almost anything to go to another 'Shot show in a tiny club and be that close and intimate. I didn't quite make it as close to the front as I wanted last time (first row, but on the very far left in front of Jeff ) and I'd love another opportunity to see them in a setting like that again. It was by far the greatest concert I've ever been too and I treasure that experience. I also was unable to go as early as I wanted to get a good place in line and meet and talk to people. I'd like to do that next time. I've never gotten to make a whole day of it.

After Billie being so repulsed by the knickers, good to see he's not cleaned up his act too much! 😂

Here you go

Billie with the eyelash filter though. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Billie would make a fucking stunning female.

My intention was just to say there's no point in worrying about it for several reasons (one being that when he's seen with - omg - a beer, it isn't even always alcoholic). To clarify it doesn't matter whether it is or not, it's his business what he drinks, and we don't need to analyse it. The original comment still clearly wasn't an attempt to start a whole thing off though, so why don't we not.

Damn The Longshot are a sexy sexy band. The chemistry of Billie and Kevin together is explosive 🧨 🔥 I love that they have a very different thing going from Green Day. Billie’s amazing with his ability to create band concept after concept and have them be distinct from each other and always a rocking good time. His creativity has no limit, he’s so extra he’s too much for one band to handle ❤️❤️❤️

Inb4 GDfan2019 believes the new 4chan leak is real

Let me correct this, Lady Cobra is awful. If you removed her it's actually a decent little progression and Billie's guitar touches in certain spots are somewhat reminiscent of The Clash. Good progression but terrible decision making. Also... that part "If you wanna explore my vocal chords" No thank you Lady Cobra they've done enough damage

Stay The Night should have been their first single.

I’m so sad to have missed these Longshot shows. I would love to live in a parallel universe where something similar can happen in small European clubs as well.

There's a difference between evolving and completely changing the genre. I don't want green day to become just another band with sampled drums, vocoders, and guitars buried so deep in the mix you can't even hear them. I'm sure they could make it work, cuz in the core of every song there's a melody and green day are definitely capable of coming up with great melodies. There are tons of different sounds they could achieve with just real drums, guitars and some keys. I guess I'm just against overproduction, tons of unnecessary fx and pre-recorded stuff on live shows. Not saying that it's bad, it just wouldn't be green day for me anymore.

They will outdo it. They always do.

Good.
