The 99th revolution Posted Monday at 01:21 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:21 PM I skipped to the end to see what was Billie's position. C? I wonder if it's because of the stage antics? Or maybe not. IDFK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I'm still processing that I heard Finn Mckenty say Billie Joe isn't a great person to be around and that he doesn't want him at his BBQ. And he used the iHeart freakout as evidence. obviously nobody wants 2012 iHeart Billie at their party. But everyday Billie, sure. I'd grill for Bill. #grillforbill2024 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we don't know Billie personally but from what I've seen and heard from fan interactions he seems nice. Also, what context? When? I imagine if it was during the party years, then I can see how things can be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a tier list of the worst and best frontpeople, it's pretty funny and he does praise Green Day quite a bit. He just thinks that Billie isn't very nice, which is weird. RIvers Cuomo and Trent Reznor get in, Avril doesn't because she could cause problems. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very caring for his fans from what I've seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekim Posted Tuesday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:20 PM I think a suzie chapstick video based around teen suicide could work let's say the beginning you have a teen sitting in their room at a desk texting out a suicide letter to a friend shadow of a gun appears loud bang phone zooms in on the cracked screen with the word sent cue a black and white Clip of Billie strumming the opening riff and the rest of the video could show the aftermath of what happens when a person commits suicide how it affects the family, friends, community, etc towards the end show a high school year book rapidly turning until the final page paused on a silhouette of a picture profile with In loving memory of ? Sending a universal message this could be anybody no matter the race religion gender 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 99th revolution Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM That would be a good idea, a video made in memory of someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
