stories and songs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Pretty sure this was just a mistake from David Frickle or Billie just misspoke. I don't think it was done intentionally from either end at all, because whether or not Adrienne drinks has very little to do with the rest of the article. Billie wouldn't make something like that up, only for his wife to go and correct it. This is Billie we're talking about! C'mon, there's no reason to believe he'd lie, at all. He felt totally comfortable saying in the interview more than once that there were certain things he didn't want to detail. If he didn't want to talk about it, he simply said "I don't want to say". And I don't think Frickle wouldn't intentionally screw with Billie's words, either. It was a tiny little piece of the article that somehow got misconstrued. Don't know why or how, but it happens even to the best writers. Just an honest mistake about something that wasn't even that important to begin with. Its all good.

Mar Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am that poster HAY GURL HAY I never knew your username (I'm marmar627) As one of the people 'overanalyzing,' I think I've only observed respectful and not-too-invasive analysis and thought going on in this thread so far. Sure, we're harping on at length as 'psychologists,' but we're being rational human beings about it. I thnk you are very respectful. You haven't been over-analyzing at all; you've been thinking about his quotes, not making them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigSniffingGlue Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Finally got a copy (didn't want to read it before that), I still can't fully take in everything he said, he was so honest, as usual, there's so much thoughts in my head...(not as usual ) I guess whether we like it or not - it makes sense that he feels that he let us fans down, I mean, I would have felt that way too, probably. I saw all those fans trying to make videos to make him feel better and show him how proud we are, they can do whatever they want, but I think it would be better to not remind him about his addictions and what happened in the past (*ahem* iheart radio jokes *ahem*). I think the best way to show him how proud are we is when he'll be on stage, he should feel the energy from the crowd, see all the fans having fun, excited to see them again, just dancing and singing along, and he's going to get those energies, as always, and I hope that would make him feel better again and give him the passion to go on again.

Slave To The Network Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I finally got my magazine copy today! I first saw it on the magazine shelf in my universities library when I went in there for something, then decided to check a nearby Barnes & Noble to see if they finally had it too. Basket Case came on the radio while I was driving and ended as soon as I got to the Barnes & Noble, then I found it! That song had to be a sign or something. Probably not, but it was a really cool coincidence. And when I got back in the car with my Rolling Stone copy, Def Leppards came on. That 20 minutes or so of hearing Green Day, finding the Billie Joe Rolling Stone, and a band that Green Day likes too made my day! Too bad I have a chemistry exam tomorrow.

momoluvGD Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I got the magazine yesterday and the article inside was great! It's really good to know how Billie Joe is really feeling through though times like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Has anyone else thought about how all this with Billie Joe will affect Foxboro Hot Tubs? It was mentioned time and time again that the band was fueled by alcohol, so I've been wondering what will happen with that side project. And whatever happened to Rodeo Queens with Jesse Malin? That was another project fueled by drinking (I heard them talk about it in an interview). I was looking forward to hearing more from Rodeo Queens but I'm guessing it was a one song thing.

It's looking like a one-and-done for FBHT. Although I love their sound, it's important to note that The Network was also a one-off side project. It would fit the pattern for them to do a third side project sometime after the next album, perhaps near the end of 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I made my parents read the article! They both liked it and understand and respect Billie even more now.

I don't think this will mean the Foxboro Hot Tubs will go away forever. Remember, its still Green Day, its still Billie's songwriting. They don't have to be completely wasted to create that sound that they have going with FBHT or to put on a good show. Billie will just be the "Cleaned Up Rev".

iScottie Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I finally got around to reading the article. Wow. I actually didn't think I could respect the guy anymore than I already do, but I guess I can. I'm really, really, really proud of him for turning his life around. I'm glad he figured out that he had this addiction and that if it went on any longer, it could have costed him his band, his marriage, and even his life. I've always thought that the lyrics to Green Day's songs were some of the most personal and well-written that I've ever seen. Reading about him writing several of the songs as sort of a self-reflection on his own life is living proof of the beauty of music. Anyone who hasn't caught the interview should definitely check it out. The guy has had a tough life and struggled with his own demons and the ability for him to overcome them is why he is my hero.
