StuckWithDom Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So Billie Joe played at Bob Gruens birthday party tonight (don't know the usa time in Australia) "In front of a packed crowd of Gruens specially invited friends and family, the two performed versions of songs such as the Clashs Jail Guitar Doors, the Ramones Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, and Cheap Tricks Surrender. The hour long show also included a string of special guests including Alice Cooper who kicked off the night with his classic Im Eighteen. "Speaking to the Post after the show, Armstrong paid tribute to Gruens iconic work which was particularly crucial to the careers of punk and new wave bands like the Ramones, the Clash and Blondie. When youre 15, living in the suburbs and learning about punk rock, Bobs pictures are the ones you tend to gravitate towards. He also recalled the time when Gruen photographed Green Day in 2009. When he took us to the top of the General Electric building, it was amazing to think hed only done this with the Clash, John Lennon, and us. Earlier in the night, Armstrong, Malin, Harry, Dalle and Cooper had all played at the annual Little Kids Rock benefit concert at Hammerstein Ballroom a charity which provides music lessons and instruments to under-served American schools." http://nypost.com/2014/10/24/billie-joe-armstrong-jesse-malin-play-secret-nyc-gig/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sara_gd Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This is great. When I was in New York I accidentally passed by a gallery full of Bob Gruen photography, so I saw many photos he's made through the years, including the Green Day Rockefeller Centre one, at a proper size! haha.

Todd Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 BTW, your avatar is really creepy, where the hell did you find that? It's a fairly common pic, surprised you haven't seen it before. It's not like a "private pic" or anything. Why is it creepy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I haven't googled "Billie Joe Armstrong in school" enough the last few years It's not of Billie's family or his house, it's just him from 1989.

November's Storms Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 #Billy #Too #Many #Hashtags Must be a bit of pressure playing at Bob Gruen's birthday party. Imagine playing a Clash song knowing that he has seen the real thing up close and personal. Looks like it was a fun night judging by the names there!
