Ryan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 YEESSSS!!!! I've been hoping ever since AI went to Broadway that Billie would write original music strictly for a stage show! This is gonna be fucking awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cori Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Whoa! That's awesome! Good for Billie! I'm glad he's doing something else that involves musicals. I'm sure whatever songs he writes for this show will be amazing and will make this show a huge success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIGD13 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Billie as songwriter for other people that are not related to Green Day, has this ever happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-ramba Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I don't know, I don't really like the idea. He's just back from rehab and even though the show will premier next March, he' will be under pressure writing songs. He should just concentrate on being on tour and being a band again, you know? I don't want him to be under much pressure again. But I guess I'm pretty much the only one thinking that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy_PunkRock Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He's an amazing songwriter, so he will do it great! Is good to see that he's being recognized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitechristmas Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I love this idea. I can't wait to hear what comes out of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Sounds cool! Nice to see he's getting right back into being creative. And I'm not concerned about him "using up" material - if anything experimenting and challenging himself with something new and different like this is likely to get the creative juices flowing and inspire all kinds of awesome future Green Day material Billie as songwriter for other people that are not related to Green Day, has this ever happened?Kind of, he co-wrote a song for The Go-Gos, and a song for Rancid which he also played on, and songs for Iggy Pop which he and the rest of Green Day also played backing on. A big solo project like this is definitely a first though! Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I know it's very early to say this, but if this show is even halfway decent it will end up on Broadway. Having the name "Billie Joe Armstrong" as the musical writer of a show is great publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
